    Never has a series made me feel so bad about my own songs while also inspiring me to write more. You're insane man.

      I find myself watching Nick BECAUSE of his workflow. I've picked up so many tricks in the software that I never would have learned by accident or on my own. I'll never fly around the guitar like he does, but I can, at least, fly around the computer.

    It's so nice to see you really just vibing to your own shit. Obviously there are thick riffs, but when you get the MOOD going it's like you're participating in the song rather than strictly writing it. Love it.

    Man I have really started to love this series in the sense that it has inspired me to write and create my own music. You just bring that chilled and relaxed vibe of creating awesome tunes and combine it with either completely different heavy riffs or something that suits the chill vibe perfectly. Just amazing work, cheers!

    I think what would really be cool is going back to episode 1 and writing b sections for every thick riff Thursday song so far... More like developing the ideas you already have... Cos a problem a face with my writing is I get a really good riff but it's too short to be a song cos I don't know where to go from that one cool riff ... Great video as always man 🔥❤️

    I've gone down such a rabbit hole since finding your channel a few days ago. I really have to figure Logic out, it's such a detractor when you're in the groove creatively but can't figure out the production side.

    • @nickbroomhallmusic
      @nickbroomhallmusic  2 дні тому

      Totally, dude. Something that might speed you up is having the key commands window open while you work so when you don’t know something, you can search up they key command for it real quick and try to start committing them to memory. Also enable the right click and secondary tools in the settings! That way you can change your cursor tool by holding command or right clicking!

    So, about that Whammy IV.. does the dry out on the side destroy the signal too or is it just the wet out? It'd be a minor inconvenience, but just being able to swap between dry/wet inputs into your interface could solve the issue (if the dry out keeps it clean). Also, you mentioned this MANY videos ago, so, you're not forgetting if you said it in this video. You didn't, it just popped back into my head again and was wondering.
