    Dude, I've been stoked coming across your channel. I am primarily a metal musician, but your stuff is easily used across any genre. It is also pushing me to embrace more of my electronic music side into my music as well.

    I've been feeling really stuck on my songs lately whenever I tend to start off with a chord progression, this was definitely helpful!

    Thanks Alex! I grabbed the pack. I'm very serious about music production this year and my skills have been skyrocketing lately. It's like all the pieces are snapping together at once for me and I suddenly get it, finally, after 9 years of semi-serious production. You've been a huge help along my journey... I love your personality, I love your content, and I draw so much value from not only the tips you provide, but also from the examples you show from your own producing skills. Very inspiring!
