Sounds about right, well done! But IMO this is in the wrong section - this is definitely not off-topic stuff on a guitar forum Keep going though, Master of Puppets coming next right?

Didn't really know in which section post these

I think the Recording Studio section would be the best suited one, but for maximal visibility I'd probably put it in General Music Discussion. There's the risk of being overrun by other threads of course, but if you use the same thread and keep bumping it with new videos every now and then, I'm sure way more people will see it than here in the OT section

Thank you again, I'll try the Recording studio section next time! I don't want to flood the entire board with my BS
