its so awesome to see gigi perez as an example here, it’s so heartwarming because i was listening to her before her huge blow up and its just inspiring honestly

[DarlaBaltazar]

Hey Trev! I'm curious how you record your DAW and sync it with your camera audio for your video 😊 Not sure if you've explained it elsewhere but just curious if you use OBS or anything. Great stuff as always! I play your vids in the morning lately to get me fired up to work!

[starcisismusic]

Trev, thank you! Not only for creating these beautiful visual inspiration fuels but for laying your heart and personality out in your music. This song truly holds something special. Love.

[Ehsender]

So The way the verse drops into the Amin at the end of each measure gives it a great ghost of Tom joad vibe.

Moving into my new apartment today, and every video I watch of yours is getting me that much more excited to have my music room back so I can get back into production again and finish my ep. You've got a huge fan in Louisiana, man! Keep it up!

[matthewdodson]

Amazing how big of a difference the mic placement made on the guitars! They sound great

[Izzyrealmusic]

[FritzGeee]

It's crazy how your vids always get me in a better mood, I'm always much more inspired afterwards, thx buddy!

[baptistec.]

Im so pleased I just found your channel. Thanks to YouTube’s recommendations.
So many YouTube channels about music production are focused on electronic music, finding this kind of content is really rare.
Well now I need some time to catch up my late and watch all your videos.
Thanks for the past and future videos ! 🙂

[SaggySanchez]

I love watching your process! It’s so inspiring seeing you put this track together piece by piece

[adaumus]

Your videos are the bridge I've needed to get back into recording. I'll check out your MIDI workshop out. Thanks!

[Knit-Purl]

Love this idea of filming your album progress! You've inspired me! Thanks a lot!
