Hello..........Your endeavors sound fine, but why MUST rock music be made with "real" instruments?
For years I used my synths to imitate "real" instruments. Todays technology is getting better, but anyone who has played a "real" acoustic instrument can spot a "fake" real soon. I was always never quite satisfied with my results because to my ears they weren't "real" enough. Now..........or at least for the past few years I have taken an opposite approach. Why have I been spending so many hours/years making my synths sound like something else? My synths are capable of making thousands of sounds that are unique and could never be "imitated" by an aucoustic instrument. Now........ instead of imitating I let my instrument express itself as only synths can. I have created some of the coolest sounds and now can truly enjoy the results. My songs now sound like the were made with a synth and I am proud of the results. Thinking back to the early days of synthesizers........the first ones sounded like nothing anyone had ever heard before. Listen to Walter Carlos's Switched on Bach. There was NO imitating any real instruments. Those sounds were purely electronic.
