The fact that you're not using Logic and I still understand everything perfectly mean you're doing something right

[JansleyMusic]

Dude, I can't even describe how talented you are. You literally make 100% viable commercial radio ready songs. It's mind-blowing that top 40 artists aren't pounding your door down to work with you (or maybe they are 😃)

[JordanBrennan]

Really appreciate these uploads man, pure talent

[ricardochiesa]

Man, you just explained a very elaborate chain processing with very simple thought process.. Thank you for sharing your thought process like, this. I'm not an EDM/POP producer, but I'm trying to learn some of this stuff as quickly as I can, and your videos are helping so much!! Thank you.

Can you make a song that sounds like Madison beer's new album? I would love to see that, thank you.

[alfredozs]

Awesoooome bro, this really helped me!

[andrewcurriermusic]

[simobeats]

Was about to lose my mind when you inserted a delay after the reverb lol

[qelo]

The fact that this video has 0 dislikes is amazing

[KordTaylor]

Great video! Love the Auto-Tune formant tricks. Also you could use Antares’ Warm saturation and Duo doubler plug-ins for those parts of the puzzle (and yeah I work at Antares 🤪)
