I really need to challenge myself to level up! thank you so much for the inspiration that I desperately needed today Forest !

    Another great, easy-to-absorb demonstration Forest of how less really is more.
    I watched every video of yours, several of them multiple times, and have learned so much.
    I really like how you show that simple, well placed licks add so much, and that you don't have to be a shredder to have a full guitar sound.
    Really enjoyed the mandolin part and how it fills out the acoustic rather than layers and layers of acoustics. I really need to start playing the mandolin I have lol
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion.

    Hey Forest, Ive been watching your content for a while. Always on the look out for the your next video! You are really my favorite teacher here on this platform when it comes to production. Nice and simple. Just purchased your course "Track in a day" can't wait to see how things turn out. Respect brother!
    Quick note, will you be uploading the Studio One Versions of this on here far as templates and stuff? I can follow along in logic and stuff.....
    Sorry this has nothing to do with this video. LOL

      By watching his other videos, he does quantise but sets the intesity down, to keep a human fee. I believe I seen him use 81%.

    Forest, In one of your videos you referenced a AI mastering tool that works with Logic Pro X. I may have been an ad, not certain. Do you recall what that plugin/tool was?

    This is a great idea for a video. Could you consider organizing it more into specific tips, rather than just showing the cool parts of the song? That way it feels a little more helpful and niche.
