this channel is the biggest reason my music sounds somewhat professional. Thank you so much alice

[bigpete]

it's a crime that youtube took this long to recommend me this channel. wtf. so much amazing information so densely packed. thank you!

[Hypernic]

Although I don't use Ableton, I managed to distil these tips for use in my DAW.
Thank you for a Xmas load of hints and tips!

[willsmith]

Wow! This is the first video I've ever come across that doesn't try to blast the music sample super loud and super long. There's nothing worse than watching these videos at night trying to learn then all of a sudden the whole house is blasted with bass at full volume waking everyone up... I'm always like: "you claim to be a sound expert but can't even get your video to have regular volume levels."

[lundsweden]

Some really good ideas for keeping things interesting, thank you!

[kunfu]

why don't speak about the LFO inside simpler wihch can randomize pich/volume/pan & Filter for humanize rythm ?

[froggy]

[NarcisJunior-mp]

When i was kid I was always thinking why my favourite band needs few years to make few songs...When I started producing the answer came by it self..😂

[SixNine]

Sidechain ur percussion to the kick it will become much more groovy

[darker]

[jamesanderson]

Amazing vid, thank you! Is there a way to do this on Logic Pro? I don't have Ableton. Thank you!

[DEEP_PRACTICE]

Found your channel today, amazing helpful advice. Getting a good hi hats/top perc line has always been a bit of a mystery for me, but your video has really opened my eyes as to why my hi hats have been bit flat. Thank-you Alice. Subbed!
