Above & Beyond - Sun In Your Eyes (Proper Synth-&-everything Cover)

So the night I saw A&B live here in Melbourne at Festival Hall, they ended their set with 'Sun In Your Eyes'. I was so moved, I got home and made a cover of it on FL studio.

So, here's the link:

And THEN, after I did make this, I figured "Why the hell not actually cover it for them folks on youtube?!" So, WHAM. This is it.

What I basically did was, render everything together except for the synth; play the rendered thing with just the synth channels remaining in the project (So that it's lighter on my on-board soundcard, which is very shitty and gets grainy after a while, even after using ASIO4ALL with about 8ms buffer size).

So there you have it, my mega long explanation.

Also, yes, I did buy a new lens. Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 for my Nikon D7000 (In case you're wondering what body I use)

Go nuts.

It was not hard to play these 4 notes all the time :) Try to automate them and play bass and chords part, it will be more interesting.

@michaeloverbeat7 I essentially did lay it all out myself any way. Bassline is 1 note. Chords are even more boring. Not even close to interesting. This had movement, so I figured I'd play this instead.

@railpressureflip Thanks a lot for that! That's what I was talking about. Also, can you play on keyboard only by ears or do you know the notes also? Cause I wonder, if I bought a small studio keyboard, will I be able to learn how to play (and make melodies) on my own (I had no music theory education nor notes etc)?
