Shawn, Could you please tell me the best way to get started with your channel? Should I join the UA-cam membership for $1.99 a month first or Patreon? I appreciate your guidance.

[@ShootieSchool]

@@braxal6983 Firstly I recommend UA-cam over Patreon since that's where my content derives from. The $2 membership is really just a gesture. You only get to see videos early. The $5 membership gets exclusive videos which you can get an idea of here: ua-cam.com/play/PLi47uknUXzCwSFPjCL2QSza566MOC6CZF.html
Thanks for asking Braxel!

Groovy Midi Speed Dating FTW! Great stuff. Congrats on the next 20K! Also, Gospel Session Organ Midi is a real new thing. You must have seen it when writing the first title.

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome! There are some other packs, yes.

[@gongcast]

Great tips re: speed dating! Tempted to upgrade to EZ Keys 2.
Thanks for having Ken on- perspective shift that should help me build out & match arrangements in Toontrack drums (as a guitar songwriter).

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear, Gong!

[@stephenblack9843]

Congrats man. I’m new to the channel but you’ve helped me so much on my toontrack journey

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear!

[@bluesyDude]

For some reason I can never join the live stream. This was an incredible stream and having Ken Schalk talk about the drummer's mind was eye opening. Thank you so much!

[@ShootieSchool]

Next to the Subscribe button on my channel, make sure the Bell/Notifications are selected. Maybe that will get you in.

[@totalfaithproductions]

1:45:47 Brilliant content! Love the channel, thank you so much for your expertise.

[@ShootieSchool]

You got it, thanks!

[@ShiningHourPop]

Congratulations on reaching 20k subs. Well deserved. Great livestream again.

[@ShootieSchool]

Thank you, Mark!

[@StevenMikel1]

To help me with programming drums,I watch drum cover videos and Drumeo videos .

[@musicman0559]

Hi thanks for the stream! Speed dating segment very helpful 🙌.
Is it possible that keeping original tempo activated in ezkeys caused the groove loop not to track with the location point of the loop in the daw?

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome! That is what happened.
