      I'm sorry for being blunt, but it looks like something from 1995, the infancy of chroma keying. It doesn't look professional. It's sad, because the tutorial itself is great, and the course developer is doing an excellent job.

    this is the most underrated breakdown I've ever seen I learned that sub bass notes sound better slightly understated and that last note that only hits in the sub did so much more than I though it would , the 2 variations of major minor combinations combined with Risa T connecting it to the theme of the song is so inspiring. Thank you so much that was so professional and I literally couldn't take my eyes off the screen ahaha

      I hate Apple hardware bullshit, but the software-side is *stellar* IMHO. Both very intuitive and extremely deep. I used Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X professionally and it's hard to come back to others after that user experience.
      But the OS isn't the best and the hardware bullshit keeps going with the M1s drive early failures... shame.
      Best of the best is a desktop PC that you can transform into an Hackintosh by installing Mac OS on half your drive but get the other half for gaming :P

    I absolutely love everything about this video....absolutely perfect to learn from (at least for my style of learning). I can go investigate various bits further and you tied everything back in context. I haven’t read into your background yet but this video almost feels like a school project where you need to showcase your learning and explain each element. If so, your course is something I’d love to take. Subscribing for sure.

    I am so thankful for this insight with the cut-off option to make a lasting one-note sound so much more full and use it as a riser. Super nice. Generally so amazed to see a song that I find beautifully complex in some ways to be built in such a step by step way. And I think it also highlights how much soul Ariana brings to the instrumentals to make it an actual rich, and flowing song.

    How did you get the vocal track to sync exactly with the music after you created the tracks? i never saw you introduce the vocal stem/ track. It was just suddenly there at the end. You would need to put the whole complete track onto a guide track, after puting a count in at the start, then split out the stems, then keep just the vocals, as well as a guide count in which you would create in front of the guide track.
    I never saw that being done, in an order that would work, unless it had been done at the start. are you able to explain how this was done please Thanks

    Hi This is very good. This is using Pro logic which is an Apple App like Garage Band. I have been watching the channel and the DAWS change from FL Studio (which i do have) to Ableton Live (Suite) which i also have (v12) however i started on Cubase Pro which i have(v13). I am still learning from your videos but to learn each DAW as well as you opertae them in the videos requires a lot of patience (and money) to learn.
    So Pro Logic is not a DAW i have. I would also need a (very Good) apple mac. Is this easier to work with than the other DAWS once mastered and do you prefer this please.
