Special mix experiment for the next show!

Download the bare bones instrument and MIDI tracks to make a mix from this 45 second song clip that Ryan put together.  The point is to see how we all make instrument choices and mix in very different ways on the exact same source material with very different end results.  The guitars and bass need to be reamped or run through amp modeling software.  The drums and keys are MIDI only.  They will need to be run through virtual instruments, synths, drum machines, or whatever you want.  We are all doing a mix for next week’s show.  Play the HRS home game along with us!
