      I only just discovered it and I have learned so much. It makes the goal of sounding like a professional producer seem so achievable.

      You will never sound professional if you're just going to copy someone's UA-cam video and use a fucking computer to make music. If you really want to sound professional, go invest thousands of dollars on real studio musicians and producers.

      I also discovered Alice recently and her tips are valuable. As someone that's spent most of my life working with traditional genres and new to edm, I've found her videos to among the most helpul out there. Also, her music stands apart from many other artists in terms of depth and creativity, up there with the very best and in some cases better. When creating playlists I typically pick one song for every 30 I listen to. My first listen to Alice on Spotify I added 5 songs. A very gifted artist imho.

      Wrong. Your music will never sound professional if you are heavily relying on computer software as instruments. Copying Alice's ability to change the pitch of the second hihat in Ableton (something which nobody did in the 90s) doesnt make your tracks "somewhat" professional.

    Wow! This is the first video I've ever come across that doesn't try to blast the music sample super loud and super long. There's nothing worse than watching these videos at night trying to learn then all of a sudden the whole house is blasted with bass at full volume waking everyone up... I'm always like: "you claim to be a sound expert but can't even get your video to have regular volume levels."

    Very cool. Always nice to see how to make sounds. I've been using multisample drum libraries for my metal work. They give the timbral variation and the midi parts have the other variation due to being played by humans. Being able to use the bundled midi also exposed me to lots of rhythm styles I would not have encountered otherwise.

    Hey Alice!! I have your courses on mercurial, and I was looking through them to find your lesson on layering 2 different kicks making a nice thick body, and you said that drum kick looked a bit more like "sausage"
    😂 it's true!
    I was having trouble with the kick I selected for one of my projects and I was looking for that lesson to help me make a fatter, denser kick. Is it in your course videos or your UA-cam videos? I've been looking everywhere for it! Any help is always appreciated and thank you regardless!✌️💯

    • @Alice-Efe
      @Alice-Efe  7 місяців тому +1

      It is probably in my peak time techno course and also in my how to techno video from previous years.
      That being said, I am still big supporter of “pick the right kick from the start” and “keep the extra processing minimal”
      So I would suggest just changing the kick and finding better sample
