Hi Alex
This bootcamp is the best ever👌
Im really really glad i found your class.
Im just watching thru the episodes and im just amazed.😲👌
Im a super noob in music.
I have learnd so much in my first 3 days just by watching.
I use Fl studio and i have really hard time to do the amazing sound design you teach. Its different settings in Fl studio and i dont know the plugins in fl studio but im not concernd abaut that for now.
When im finished whith the boot camp im going to take the next class. Its going to take me longer time to finish this camp because of my daily jobb.

Thanks again
Best Regards

Alex, I think I speak for many when I say you never cease to enlighten and energize us when we watch your tutorials!

Your level of humility and willingness to help is inspiring, and unlike some producers, you don't make your viewers think their music is sub-par for not using ten plugins on a track. Your work is amazing <3 <3

I scratched my head while watching this and now I have 20% more hair.

Reminds me of the song “Rush Over Me” by Seven Lions, Illenium, etc

[animeknowledge]

Already knew 2 but the the ambient/atmosphere trick was amazing gave me way more control than a preset from pads in ableton, much appreciated

There’s also a subtle noise layer sitting on top that’s tying things together and providing some brightness to the Rush Over Me intro :)

Making droney sound from those supersaws is a cool trick I learned today :) Thanks bro!

[djodjokabema]

Bro!!! You must know I appreciate you alot for showing me the midi note tricks. I don't care how many people who don't like it . To me those little things you are showing are making a huge difference in my production game. Thanks again

5:22 If I heard this before knowing it was you it would absolutely remind me of Seven Lions.

[CarlitoBTS]

You're good at breaking songs down man thank you!

[auxvisuals]

2:29 That pluck sounds quite similar to the song 'Stay'..but you made this 2yrs before that song released 😂

[theafterburnerstudio]
