As someone who thinks about music from more of an emotional “feeling” standpoint rather than a technical “follow rules” view, your videos just scratch the itch. Thank you for being you Alex. 🙌🎶🎧

Dude you’ve helped me sense the start of my music career and you’ve helped me to make better melodies, you are such an underrated producer 🙏

[atNguyen-jdhs]

love your channel. Doesn't give me the feeling of "I know better, so you have to listen to me". Also, you keep the pace of the tutorial even and talk as you make your tweak.

[alinenunez]

wow dude, you became one of my favorite youtubers . your content is quality

[LegendaryHER]

You just took me to another dimension with these gorgeous sounds. I am literally going to take what you've shared and use it. I'm actually looking to make a bunch of EDM tunes so.... Hahaha to infinity and beyond! Thanks for this, so glad I caught wind of you just when I'm getting back into producing. I'm a self taught producer and a long time singer/artist manager so I'm super stokked the fire has sparked again. JUst in time!

[Duret_Music]

Where the heck was I that I hadn't seen you before? You're God to me! You're saving me so much time! All I wish is the best for you!
