    Fun fact: The "Organ Sound" on the first beat of sicko mode is actually "Sound 62: Waw Voice" on the Casio Toy Keyboard model SA-21

      They most likely used the Kontakt Factory Library to get the sound, but still cool either way. NI probably just sampled the SA-21

      PlantMilk There are a lot of producers out there not just on youtube who makes fire with having little to no knowledge on music theory. It's all in their heads, man. Your ideas will do the music. Me? I have no idea what music theory is, and I'm planning to learn, but people asked me if I studied, because I make decent songs, I guess, that's what they say, hahaha!

But long term do what makes you happy... do you want to work with other large artists/producers/ industry professionals, or do you want to teach music theory and other aspiring artists/producers.

    I wish producers (especially on UA-cam) would openly encourage others to study theory. So many instances of guys saying "you don't need theory, just make it sound good" or something of the sort aren't helping many of new guys watching "how to trap for beginners" tutorials. Do they know that what generally constitutes as 'good' is theory itself? I hope so, because without it they'll waste so much valuable time fiddling on MIDI keyboards that the idea fades. Learning it accelerated my workflow and helped expand my creativity, definitely recommend to anyone to pick up a book and study, the benefits trump the negatives (if there really is any downside) of studying music theory. Great video!
