PS. Hope you guys have been doing great and are enjoying writing music!!
If you see me gone for a while in the future now you know why and where to find me.

A few other educational and inspiring music channels I recommend are besides the one I mentioned in this video are:
- Austin Wintory's channel (can't believe I didn't mention it. This is my absolute favorite, Austin is a gem)
- Andrew Huang's channel
- Rick Beato's channel

I would also recommend watching channels that don't fit 100% in your music niche, as there's lots we can learn from genres of music outside of the ones we work in.

Great update Alex! Glad to hear you're doing what you love and staying true to yourself. You are an inspiration to us all! Keep it up!

[medmel]

Awesome to hear you talk about you. That was very inspiring. Take care and maybe see you in France after Prague!

[andresito]

Alex, as a big Final Fantasy fan, your FF stuff is the reason I fell in love with everything you post, and you inspired me to become an amateur/hobbyist music producer myself! You do you man, it's what makes you awesome.

[cameronheyward]

I watched your videos a ton a few years back- huge inspiration and helped me create my first orchestral piece in FL. I just got back into FL after a few years hiatus and went back to look for a more updated version with FL 21 and was sad when I couldn’t find anything. I’m so stoked your back.

I would absolutely LOVE a detailed series of your thought process, ideas, work flow, template etc. Especially when it comes to technical skills in FL. It’s so much to tackle a full orchestra in FL, and always appreciate you sharing your experience. No need for edits!

Either way, glad you’re doing well brother 🤙🏼

It’s a shame most of the other commenters here seem to be totally missing your point. I found this update super inspiring, and actually has me rethinking my own approach to making music (and life). I actually had no idea this was your original channel because I first found you through your game music analyses. Glad to hear you’re doing so well! (Also, getting to play FF14 music live onstage with the composer is absolutely - seriously congrats!)

[STVproductions]

yo, i know the guys at Imageline are always looking for feedback and ideas to improve on FL Studio future updates. i'm sure they'd love to hear your insights on what could make the software better for working with your particular work flow and genre.

[veedahmusic]

Its always great to hear from you. Been following you since like 2016 when I was a sophomore in HS, crazy how time flies, still trying to get better at arranging and composing, etc, but a lot of that came from watching you, so I just wanted to say thank you!

[TheTrueChrisA.K.]

1st & foremost, welcome bacc & glad 2 hear you're doing well. Also wanna thank U, 'cause always had a curiosity about composing, & your videos helped 2 step into that. Many continued blessings
with respect from Tennessee
🙏🏼🤲🏼✊🏼💯

[axelavixmusic]

Thank you for sharing with us dude, You always have something to teach us and I'll be forever grateful for your wonderful tutorials ❤‍🔥

[STEPHxCA]

I watched a couple of your tutorials recently while working on my first arrangement that I posted on here. It really helped out a ton and I learned a lot. Glad all is well, looking forward to seeing where things go for you 🎉

[jcrod]

Your way to see things is so logical and smart!
Alex, you should do more videos like this, this kind of content is awesome, truly mean it!

[jasonbensonmusic]

HOW THE HECK DIDNT I KNOW ABOUT THIS CHANNEL😭😭 I can't wait to dive in. Well done for learning the bass guitar and playing in front of such a awesome crowd with EPIC band members. You continue to inspire me greatly❤ seems like you're on a great musical journey and I hope to team up with you one day, keep healthy and keep growing☀️

[AVDRE]

Good to see you're doing well Alex! I've learnt alot from your early videos on FL. Thanks for the update!

[mojaveybrandjam]

Your Final Fantasy music (BIG LOVE), tutorials, compositions, and music writing; I am here for allll of your art and works. I will support it all. You are the realest king!!!! Your fashion sense is fierce as heck too so there for that too - brother has that drip mmmhmm. I love and adore that you inspire others and absolutely do your bit for a compassionate world because the world needs more compassion more than ever. Live good my man, keep doing your calling, and keep making music as you do. When I first heard Through the Maelstrom it was the most deeply touching, beautiful, and it really moved me, and I listen to it every single day relentlessly as I cook. Forever a fan. I wish you only the absolute best. <3

Side note: You inspired me to pick up an instrument again so I bought a harmonica, and have been practicing every day. I would love to play cello again, but oooof that price especially when I'm trying to move to Germany from New Zealand.

[slowmovingcloud]

Totally get where you're coming from. As a pianist who unexpectedly had to deal with focal dystonia, I had to ask myself how could I reinvent myself as a musician, so this transition creatives go through is an opportunity to progress and grow or stagnate. Glad you're doing well man :)

[mrsqueaks]

We missed you Alex <3 thank you for giving us an update!

[Snipersounds]

We love your energy Alex! Glad you are back.

[KellaKlick]

Thank you for this Update. you don't owe us anything so this is very nice from you, and even in this video i learned again some things from you. Thank you!!!!
