    Having the 4 year old voice memo song as an album opener and this as a closer would be so awesome! Tie the whole thing together!

    Hey man I love these videos they’re super helpful with both songwriting and mixing. I’d love to hear you do one in the style of Polaris to honor their guitarist Ryan that just passed as well as their new album releasing tomorrow.

    “Sometimes I just improvise rhythms and that’s what they become”
    Sounds simple. But this is a profound point to make when explaining the process of writing something to someone. I think we songwriters take for granted inspirational ideas, and we forget that sometimes our act of “improv” comes off as some type of music genius 😂

    Saying "nice" is your way of saying "f*** yeah....that's awesomesauce right there", just not in so many words! :) Keep it up and don't worry about it. Really lovin' what I'm hearing here (getting inspired from it as well). I picked up Stringer as well and have been doodling around with it. Definitely a great plugin for the arsenal. The callback is definitely a fun concept (we are also working on this idea as well).

    I always feel like there's a lot of things going on when you hear a track like this, but actually the application of each instruments is quite minimal! You don't need a lot of layers when making a track like this, lesser is more! And of course, I love this kind of videos because it makes you inspired to create more stuff! Thanks man ✨

    @ADAMBLAZEVIC Рік тому +1

    Nice ending there :) I was looking for a plugin that can do it all, heavy tones, ambient and clean stuff and also have something weird, when this came out we were a perfect match. Otto audio's plugin was also in the running, it is an insane plugin but lacks all other stuff than the heavy tone.

    What I love about this channel is we literally can see what he does in the DAW and learn something from it. Anyway, I'm wondering how he does retakes on certain sections without affecting the first bar after hitting record.

    @umbra_ydn Рік тому

    With your templates, will the drum routing work all the same if I'm using an actual electric kit? Other than probably adjusting my mappings? I'm just now learning Logic after using FL forever - I like it a lot for recording and I love your sound. I also have a Darkglass bass head with DI out - would that just route into Real Bass track and then I can use that on it's own? Thank you for any help, I'm so dumb with Logic but watching you helps both in songwriting and using the DAW. Love your stuff!

    @fatherbear_418 Рік тому

    Dude, have you considered investing in an ATEM Mini Pro ISO to grab all your audio and separate video? It would drastically reduce your CPU load and catch your audio, screen grab (via HDMI out) and your main video and then you can edit them seamlessly in post. Just a thought!
