    Hello! Indie game dev here and I just want to say thank you so much for making this video. I am completely new into the whole digital music making area and this video was extremely helpful and really in depth. you also managed to keep hooked because you were actually entertaining as well compared to other tutorials which just talk with a bad microphone and go way to fast to know what the hell is even happening. Anyways keep up the amazing work and I hope you are doing well Jacob!

    When I started using patterns for the first time (for years I avoided it but I finally learned) I was combining two or more instruments for the drum sounds. Now I'm realizing it might be better to create a pattern for each drum instrument just so I have better control over what comes in and out of the song.
