Been watching the channel since I started producing 4 years ago. Just had my first song pass 5 mil streams, and I couldn’t have gotten here without your vids! Appreciate you always Austin 🙏🏾

S tutorial about movement of sounds would be great, like sidechaining, autopan, filter movement and so on. All the hacks you’re using to make your sound interesting

A perfect example of this is the All American Rejects album “Move Along”. They were absolutely religious about doing this

Hi Austin, thank you for this video, it is always very impressing for me to see how you handle this things.

[Ignabevacqua]

thanks for this video man! really helpful!! I learn a lot with this channel! Keep it up!! Greetings from Madrid!

[TheRealSandman]

I'm very big on doing this. Little subtle changes, maybe an extra kick drum or a sound that only happens once in the song is things that I love when listening to music. Charlie Puth once said that he makes every chorus very slightly different, just to give them their own feel & things like that always stuck with me.

[TonyTruthRx]

Yea it’s easy to copy and paste but these little pieces all come together🤙🏻

[GISANGMEGU]

You're awesome..
