Punch list
FadeEight punch list Amber Last · 92 BPM · A minor · Kit leaves first The problem: the last chorus ends on a brick wall. Generators stop the file. People glue on a second song, or the record dies mid-breath. The move: Drums step out by bar 6. Nylon, then upright, then the grand is the last thing in the room.
