😅 I asked for a video on how you make your demo songs like a month and a half ago maybe? Am going to save this video for reference, thanks 👍

[bsadistik]

As a complete ignorant in music theory and with very bad hearing skills as far as learn song by ear is concerned, the harmonies in third tip is fucking awesome! Thank you!

[mofongotron]

Dude HELL yes. My biggest weakness is that I'm good at writing riffs, but TERRIBLE at writing songs. I'm almost scared to even try putting ideas down in a DAW, but I need to get over that and learn how to actually write songs. This video was incredibly helpful!

[WesleyKhalil]

Bruh, your video convinced me to buy a audio interface and do my own riffing, thanks man! I really like the message to not be too hard on yourself, and let the creativity flow.

[CrushingAxes]

Man I love Reaper so much, it's perfect for me, you change skins and pretty much everything about it, routing is easy, sidechain super easy! Just perfect!

[modernmusicsolutions]

🤘🏼🔥 Thanks for being down to do a more experimental video showing off your process man! Hope this helps a lot of people!

[orionparsons]

Thank you so much for wearing that at the gates shirt I've been trying to find their music again for such a long time

[nicolasaraistrujak]

Slaughter of the soul is such cool album, the sweatshirt that makes your "soul go cold, only the dead are smiling"

[broncoxy]

That was actually really helpful, thanks man! As I'm trying to start actually writing songs, not just riffs, I struggle lots with coordination and structure, but watching you doing it, was very inspiring!

[Just_JoshE]

Bro, this was crazy helpful and really plainly stated. A lot of channels tend to speak over the viewers head and makes it hard to figure out what they're doing and why, but this was about as plain as it could be.

[brandongray]

I love how easy you went about this. Writing death metal is already a difficult process as is to perform let alone recording it, but you did it with a that gave it legs with a very productive & repeatable process. More people could see this 🙏🏼

[timokomulainen]

Wow, that was so cool to see as a fellow songwriter. Man, I might borrow some of your ideas into my workflow!

Man, this is exactly how I write. Thank you for this video. It really made me feel more secure about how to write and it made my day. So thank you :D

[Metaldad]

Another feature I like on ez drummer 3 is the band mate. You put your guitar or bass track in and it finds all the midi grooves you have that it thinks will match the audio you gave it, then you just pick one and tweak if needed!

[init-crioxica]

Nice to meet you!!! Thank you for lesson and also for how u mixing it !!!!

[jasoncrump]

This was gold brother. Appreciate ya. I'm gearing up to start recording like this.

[vincentemerald]

Ezdrummer is so perfect for writing love it! Killer video bro!

[ewORX]
