i like the idea of promoting or showing what reason users are doing. some of us and with "us" im talking us reason users some of us are very familiar with the software by now and id say we almost feel too confortable around the devices sometimes to a point where we fell into a repeating pattern as to what this or that is beeing used for. seeing someone using a device a different way is always sparking new ideas and as such a good thing. who knows when this new idea that just got planted in our heads will pop up again and find its way in our own production process. and on the other hand as a lets say less familiar user it might be intinmidating (is that even written correctly :P ) if you see professionaly juggeling around with devices an settings all over the place and they feel like oh no i never can do that .. but this way now the new users also see like .. ok this guy has no 10000 dollar lighting studio setup für his onscreen recordings its like .. this could be me feeling that comes across and after all its not a beauty channel where we are trying to do eye lashes or something :) we are here to make music create music share music enjoy music. and the more we share and show what we do the better reason studios and im so 100% sure they do watch all that stuff very carefuly to always have an eye on what people are using this or that for to come up with the next magic wand idea to be implemented in the future. so its a win win win for all .. the experienced ones the new ones the creator themselves ... for all of "us" .. isnt it a great time to live.

so think positive
be nice to each other
and make good music

Really love the ideae..much love from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

It may not be that CENTRAL AFRICA sound you were looking for, but it's still very Mediterranean. Nice beat.

What electric guitar plugin are you using?

[jordimoraguesmassanet]

I wish the Bassline Generator had a genre selector like the Chord Sequencer has. Basslines alone can define a genre. And it wouldn't prevent the user from being experimental. As it stands, it's hit-and-miss and not super-useful.

This guy has some potential, but you need to send him a better mic and pre-amp. He is clipping and noisy at the same time.

[theopacalypse]

You need to bring KukuruBeats on, he does Ruger's beats and he uses reason.

[mcdove]

Not an Afrobeat but good effort, get the basic afrobeat drums pattern and you’ll be well on your way

[monogramadikt]

this tune would be good as background music on a shampoo edvert

[nickthompsonsurfinonthelake]

Not the correct applesauce but the smells he uses are somewhat antibiotics. Overall good English

[saukurunetwork]

Too much talk ..get straight to the point .., 🙄🙄
