I write, arrange, perform, record and produce all my tracks.
I do not use sampling or MIDI, but perform each track either on a real instrument, (guitars, drums, bass, etc.) or using a synthesizer. (flutes, strings, etc.)
I also use a guitar synthesizer for many of the sounds.
Tracks are recorded direct to disk and produced on the computer for clean sound quality.
