Wow! This video is extremely well done. You give out so many pro tips. A waves tool rack preset with this chain would be so dope!

Xole has always been there for me! Love

u the man thx a lot, keep up the good work

[dillanbardallo]

wow, amazing!!! thanks for the tips :)

[martinpreciado]

Really enjoyed the video man!! I’m contemplating for using either ableton or logic. Came from GarageBand so logic seems like the move but I see the potential in ableton as well, it looks so complicated though.

[gerpsy]

don't know who mac demarco is but imma check him out

[mr.anderson]

Man, how can I get this vocal preset line? Is it included in Indie Vocal Vibes?

[imdrewfornow]

I’m trying to figure out audio efx track thing on fl would it be the same if I made a dry bus then compression bus attached to the dry then reverb bus attached to the compressor or also to the dry?

[floober]

Which version of melodyne do you use or recommend?

[Lottavnmusic]

Do you use your blue yeti for your song recordings?

[thallrudedjentstorm]

I don't know man. Doesn't sound like Mac DeMarco really. Too much effects and
