[RoomieOfficial]

Absolutely sick. Thanks for sharing your genius man

[Infowler]

[gbo_pizza]

this is the most effort i have ever seen anyone put in a tutorial, mad props man

[XLNTSOUND]

I for sure drank out of one the cups you used to record at Vince’s Bday. Pretty much an XLNT VR collab

[meekyoumadethis]

2023 is so great for edm producers. Thank you VR for this major level up!

[sbassdaddy]

havent even started the video and im so excited. almost 2 hours of master class content.

[tch_n]

0:06 I love how hes touching the only knob, in the only mode, that does literally
While staring at it like a caveman lmao

[AirGuitar]

I would love to see a video on mixing (how to get a clean but not harsh high end etc). Mainly your tips on what you've found out throughout the years!

[dennismarcusg]

I grew up listening to the absolute ✨legend✨.
You have no idea how much your sound design influenced a whole set of genres, love it!

[okinakaijuu]

It's actually so sick that he's sharing his raw musical talent and genius here on youtube. Super grateful and excited for more VR!

[TheIcyOne]

imagine his friends walking into the kitchen and just see him randomly crunching paper bags and punching everything

[AkibaRyoto]

2:42 when your mom asked you to bring something from kitchen but u dont know where is it

[GlassyVI]

almost 2 hours of a sounddesign session with the GOAT himself damn.

[jamesmartin]

That XO plugin is wild, haven't ever seen a drum machine/sampler use that mind-map style of layout before. Reminds me of the space stage in Spore lmao

[Phybia]

WOW VR, this must have taken FOREVER to make! You're a legend man, thanks for inspiring us!

[JoeLuskRacing]

I remember a short conversation at a lost lands meetup about something like this... Seeing someone so creative, just working in their element is just incredible. And even more, its evident you truly care about the music. Above and beyond anything I could have imagined.

Your fans from the old studio times are so happy to see you back in this context.

Pace yourself and don't get burnt out when touring picks back up, and maybe see you at another lost lands!

[sdmne]
