I think it's a nice track that shows a lot of talent. This is the key ingredient. Talent. There are a lot of "Producers" out there who can mix real well. They know all about compression, EQ, reverb, delay, etc. etc. For some reason though, they're tracks are not getting signed. They don't get a lot of likes on SoundCloud or TH-cam, even though they get a lot of plays. What's missing? Creative talent. Some people have it, and some, and some people don't. They don't know how to write melodies and then do an impactful arrangement to support it. The result is a well mixed track that is boring at best, or unfortunately in most cases, absolute garbage. So in their frustration, they attack guys who have achieved real success. I guarantee you, all of the beautiful women dancing away at festivals, to Jay's music, don't even care that he doesn't understand compression. Besides, he admitted that he doesn't fully understand it. Jay knows how to write songs. That's what counts. Rob
+Rob Behrens I dont think talent is everything. If you work hard and always improve from track to track you get better and better. Some people do this faster than others but i think everyone can get to the top.
Julian, I'm glad that you have that confidence. That's half the battle. Some people have talent but have no confidence or belief that they can do it. Rob
+wejhvabewjty yes but they use it subtly, in dog shit Edm, reverb is used as a massive colour, and a cheap shitty way to get a big sound, instead of actually spending time on sound design they just saturate them in effects, (not to mention using software which sounds thin as shit), so yeh.
//If you start thinking technically, you'll block out your creativity. I don't know any technical aspects, I just mess around and have some fun// He deserves an applaud for this statement.
Ankit Bhawnani Not necessarily, can't say he hasn't had help from his peers and what not. To do this music correctly and be successful you need to be fairly technical with it
Holy shit my respect for this guy just sky rocketed !! Its ok if he doesnt know what he is doing with the technical stuff. But definitely he is putting effort in creating a good club banger !! the most important thing about a song IMHO is arrangement and sound selection. which is pretty decent here and works !! Moreover I can't imagine he works with all the stock fx plugins !! no sausage fattner , no FF saturn ...fruity dist ftw haha :D good stuff jay !! thanks for the insight .. really enjoyed it !! :)
+Tag4rce7 the fattener is off on the channel dude.. which is why he din speak bout it.. i'm not saying he's any production mastermind yet but he's got epic arrangement sensibility..
better him saying rather than trying to bullshit. If he makes music that works for him and clearly other people, it doesn't matter that he doesn't know about compression etc. Surely it's the end product that matters. People always get on one with the technical side. Usually when they are better at the technical stuff, but are not as successful as the person they are bitching about.
Producers be like... Vengeance - doesn't know how to use a compressor - nexus leads - massive preset - more presets - soundgoodizer - gross beat sidechain,come on - sampled kick, no processing - more soundgoodizer - lol - presets - so many presets - ozone on the master
Luca Vervoort so whats the deal ? It still sounds good !! the 10000 people at a festival wont care that he didnt use the compressor properly !! and at last he clearly says he isn't technical at all ! Its all about creativity and having fun. And its a bonus if you get signed to spinnin for having fun with sounds ;)
***** Not all the producers care !! And those who do the most obvious reason might be that they are jealous (not necessary though) because even after spending countless time on figuring out how the compressor works they are not signed to spinnin !! Ok tell me honestly !! if Jay had not told that he is not good with technical stuff, were you able to tell that the compressor wasn't set right when you first heard the track ? Its the end product that matters !! if you wanna be a perfectionist go on, but don't expect that everybody must be so !! The guy did everything by ear and I appreciate him for that !! Its a talent within itself. inb4 someone points out my English - yeah sorry for that :|
What i'm saying is, that just because something is on spinnin, it doesnt mean its better, or even good. The mixing isn't good, and it bothers me because i know that i could mix this so much better. And 80 % of the big room tracks released on spinnin i could remake in 30-45 minutes. But i choose not to release those kinds of tracks because i work on music that means something to me.. Went on a little rant, but it just bothers me that he's making this video, and a lot of new producers will follow him, when they shouldn't! If you want a good tutorial that really help you become a good producer, you should watch deniz koyus studio session from his livestream!
All that matters is that he produces amazing music! You can have the best producing knowledge but if you're not really into the music and or untalented then you are still a bad producer. If you don't have the best producing knowledge but are creative and talented then you can still be an amazing producers! So please shut up haha
+Rave In Peace while I do agree that it comes down to good music, I wouldn't go as far as calling it amazing. If you're a producer with some degree of artistic integrity you should teach yourself the basic concepts of a mixdown imo. I have no doubts that Jay is creative and talented, so no hate, but as a producer you will have to deal with dynamics one way or another at some point in your career, so I'd suggest going a bit more careful next time on your expert opinion
+Armen Babayan 99.9999999 percent of producers do not fully understand a compressor. it is an advanced piece of hardware/ software that only true audio engineers, and the best ones fully understand and hear properly, whom come few and far between, so unless you only respect the artistry of one or two producers ever, id re evaluate your opinion
+Ben Cohen Mate you don't need to fully understand a compressor (if by fully you mean the algorithms and science behind its actual functioning). As I said, you just need to know what it does in general, and what every common knob is for, which is not rocket science I believe.
+Ben Cohen no, I'd say most producers that have been in the scene and have fucked around and made music for more than 5 years will most definitely know how a compressor is used, what it's used for, where it should be applied, and how it works. And even when you're just getting started or are only a little bit into the whole thing you should probably know that you shouldn't use something other than like a VCA or equivalent piece of software (or even just the mixing knobs), JUST to boost the gain. I mean, you would assume that the guy would understand that all he was doing when he put the compressor on was boosting the gain, because it looks like he fiddled around with the knobs a bit (eg. the ratio), and of course you wouldn't notice a difference between inf:1 and 1:1 if the threshold is at 0dB. Also, it's not "an advanced piece of hardware/ software that only true audio engineers [use/understand]", it's actually pretty a pretty basic thing. I wouldn't expect someone that's been using FL Studio for like a year to use it and really understand it, but once you start playing around with it, it becomes decently apparent what it does to the sound. deadmau5, for example, is well-versed in how to mix, master, engineer, etc. his sounds, and he also makes really good music, in my opinion (as well as many others). Same with Noisia, and Hybris, and most of the people on Invisible Recordings and mau5trap, as well as many, many other labels (and independent artists), so I'm not sure what gives you the idea that only a small percentage of people in the entire EDM industry know how to use a compressor. Almost everyone uses compressors for their drums anyway.
Yup, you don't know how compressor works 4:20 tou have treshold on 0 which means all you did was adding 3db gain. Check youtube, there are amazing tutorials on it. My suggestion would be use FL Layer to control multiple instruments to play same melody and use reverbs/ delays/ sidechain on all layers at same time on their bus, so it's easier on CPU and you can put more stuff in track. ;)
+NeZversTutorials If the threshold is at 0db, it means the compressor will be active whenever the signal goes above 0db, meaning it's being used as a sudo limiter so the signal doesn't clip :) He admits that he doesn't know all of the tech ins and outs of a compressor, but the setting makes some sense from my point of view.
For some reason the fact that Jay admits to not knowing how to properly use a compressor, yet still makes tracks that sound as good as this just makes me respect the guy more. Just goes to show the importance of using and trusting your ears. Great video.
This is really awesome Jay! It's great to see how my favourite track rn is made and as a producer seeing what techniques you use. Thanks a lot for uploading this and I can't wait for your other song "Fire" which is insane!
Thanks for sharing man appreciate it! And thank you for sharing everything, being open and honest with sharing your work. It's so real like it actually helps if you're trying to produce
Thanks for the great video Jay Hardway not many producers put this much time into showing how they work! Guys: it does not matter at all if someone doesn't understand the technicality of a plug in, if it sounds good then it is good right? It's funny how the young producers say "you don't know how a compressor works!" ... when they have absolutely no idea what it does at all. Kick-ass video Jay, I look forward to the next track :)
EXACTLY AND ITS PRODUCERS WITH THE DIRTIEST MIXES EVER SAYING SUCH SHIT,COMPRESSOR AND SHIT,MOST OF THEM USE IT TO SOUND OR LOOK PROFFESIONAL AND I HAVE SEEN MANY THAT JUST RUIN THEIR MIXES BY USING IT.....MIX EVERYTHING AS NATURAL AS POSSIBLE,YOU COULD TURN UP THE VOLUME INSTEAD OF USING A COMPRESSOR,AND WELL SPEAKING OF COMPLICATED MASTER COMPRESSION....FABFILTER PRO L HAS SOME AWESOME PARALLEL COMPRESSION PRESETS......STOP MAKING MUSIC A TECHNICAL THING....ITS ALL ABOUT HOW IT SOUNDS AT THE END!! WAY TO GO JAYY! AND SPEAKING OF COMPRESSORS,EVEN ONE OF EVERYONE'S FAVORITE AND MOST TALENTED PRODUCER,GARRIX DOESNT USE MUCH OF IT! SO ON YOUR FACE HATERS,SHUT UP GET REAL,AND MAKE MUSIC,NOT BITCH ABOUT TECHNICAL THEORY
Im pretty sure his Macbook has high ram and more importantly it has atleast an i5 or an i7 with multi-thread processing. Macbooks are really good at it. ASIO isn't worth anything if your processor is low. If you don't know what Multi-thread processing is you can google it. Cheers.!!
Thanks for this awesome video! Very kind of you to share this with all of us! It's very instructional and inspiring to see all the step by step process involved in the development of such an amazing track. Hope to see more of this in the near future. Thanks again!
Jay! well done dude! it was an amazing tutorial, and one of the firsts to properly show how to make a progressive house track! i truly believe that you're going to help a lot of people with this tutorial! thanks bro. have fun!
That's what faders are for. This video was a joke, it's cool to see him get that good results with such little knowledge. But the fact that he doesn't understand shit about his software disapointed me.
Man, now you really see how much you don't need that hole technical shit to make good music. Maybe you will understand one day, that music is not about technical stuff and theroy, but about feeling.
I usually dont subscrbe to stuff but i feel in love with your productions. I am a music producer myself and i found it very melodic and tonal...love it!!
One of the best breakdowns on TH-cam. A lot of people don't like to admit their weaknesses, but you did and still worked well with it. I learnt a lot of things from showing your song making process. Nice track.
Thanks you so much Jay :) I hope you do more like this because I learn it a lot and inspiring me much more. You are one of my favourite producers/dj and it was a great surprise for me. Thanks for all! :P
Amazing track, but I don't understand how the mix doesn't sound crushed when it's clipping massively without the izotope, but when you just stick it on it doesn't. Usually if I ever try doing this without headroom it sounds mushy and crushed, but on this, there's literally no headroom on the master, but it still sounds brilliant. Anyone know?
What's the problem ? Who cares if he know what every layouts from FL works... He can use them so... Do you think a F1 driver knows how his engine is working ?
Jay Hardway Hey Jay , I really like this track , I just can´t stop hearing it , it´s just so amazing ! You did some great work on it !!! This is my official summer song ;) Btw I´ll start producing music soon too and I hope I´ll one be as good as you are.
Jay Hardway Does Windows on mac has lags? And one more question: Why producers buy Mac Books if they change it to Windows, what the sense to buy Mac? For you maybe. Answer please!)
Love the video, you can learn so much from things like this. It's really an aha moment and puts into perspective that even an amazing song that sounds complicated in essence is not as complicated as it seems. Really puts your mindset in place of not overthinking things to much. Hopefully you make a video of something like a track from scratch showing your workflow during the process as well one day! You just gained a new fan!
This is a great tutorial, but i noticed you dont take anything too far in terms of technicality...how do you deal with shit like panning/stereo and other shit like that?
+Ken Danzan there are some people who can't really explain things very well but they can understand it on their own they just don't how to explain it in a nice way
Thank you so much, this really helped me out. Before I saw this video, I was having trouble getting "massive" sounds on my leads and especially during the drop, and now it sounds much better (at least to me).
Goddamnit, this actually pisses me off. I've been producing for about 9 to 10 years now and have absolutely no tracks that ever gained any popularity. When I produce I EQ every sound, mix them together, shape their transient via a compressor and then mid/side EQ them to make them work together in mono. This kid does nothing like that. He drops Soundgoodizer on stuff and just turns some knobs in Fruity Reverb. Looks like every fucking channel of his is hitting 0 dB too... Think I'll throw away about 6 years of knowledge the next time I sit down with FL and just crank everything up to 11 and squash the living shit out of the track and get me a contract with Spinnin'.
StefGraphics u dnt need to know everything about mastering .....u have to use u r ear to find what fits in ....if u go too complex abt technical error in project there will be no creativity
I wouldn't say something as basic as compressing would count as "everything" within the aspect of mastering. It's just a simple and effective tool that is really basic and something most people learn very early on in their career
You may have all the technical ability in the world, but you arent gonna make it until you start having genuinely great ideas for melodies. Jay doesnt have your knowledge, but he has that other thing u lack, talent.
I'm glad you shared a lot of the details of your production. Inspiring. And, like you said, it's always more important to make it sound good, rather than look good in the DAW
It's real cool that you took the time to make this video. Thank you, don't be mad if we,music producing enthusiasts, steal some of the technics you are showing here =]. It's the first time I've heard that track, i will definitely go check it out after the video, thanks again for making this!
i love you for doing this.
Hahahahaha your byte remix is like😎😎😎
Writing this after 2 years
If I put that many synth layers in my project my CPU would have a fucking heart attack.
same here
+Dylano Falco Good pc
+FergusZ I run an i7 and still come across slight buffering.
+Daniel Carroll Dude its not always about the cpu he has a good audio card and he earns millions so he has no problem to buy an awesome pc .

I love when producers make this kind of videos!

"I put a reverb on it" /Every EDM Producer ever/
+Varga Dániel Tell what genre doesn't use reverb.
wejhvabewjty I have no problem with it bro, just a funny thing :D
Yes I know, but I just was asking :D
+wejhvabewjty yes but they use it subtly, in dog shit Edm, reverb is used as a massive colour, and a cheap shitty way to get a big sound, instead of actually spending time on sound design they just saturate them in effects, (not to mention using software which sounds thin as shit), so yeh.
+wejhvabewjty Ask that to Steve Albini.
//If you start thinking technically, you'll block out your creativity. I don't know any technical aspects, I just mess around and have some fun//
He deserves an applaud for this statement.
Ankit Bhawnani I have used this thinking since I started but I need the technical part to make my songs sound nicer
Ankit Bhawnani Not necessarily, can't say he hasn't had help from his peers and what not. To do this music correctly and be successful you need to be fairly technical with it
Ankit Bhawnani facts
Holy shit my respect for this guy just sky rocketed !!
Its ok if he doesnt know what he is doing with the technical stuff.
But definitely he is putting effort in creating a good club banger !!
the most important thing about a song IMHO is arrangement and sound selection.
which is pretty decent here and works !!
Moreover I can't imagine he works with all the stock fx plugins !!
no sausage fattner , no FF saturn ...fruity dist ftw haha :D
good stuff jay !! thanks for the insight .. really enjoyed it !! :)
Venga in this video ? maybe :p But he was using stock mostly !!
+Darshan Vyas If you look closely. At one point he uses sausage fattner. But he didn't talked about it x)
+Tag4rce7 the fattener is off on the channel dude.. which is why he din speak bout it.. i'm not saying he's any production mastermind yet but he's got epic arrangement sensibility..
+Venga there is a sausage fattener but it's turned off. so he probably put it on there but didn't like it and forgot to remove it.
better him saying rather than trying to bullshit.

People always get on one with the technical side. Usually when they are better at the technical stuff, but are not as successful as the person they are bitching about.
Dude you NAILED this song, srsly amazing work

Vengeance - doesn't know how to use a compressor - nexus leads - massive preset - more presets - soundgoodizer - gross beat sidechain,come on - sampled kick, no processing - more soundgoodizer - lol - presets - so many presets - ozone on the master
Luca Vervoort so whats the deal ? It still sounds good !! the 10000 people at a festival wont care that he didnt use the compressor properly !! and at last he clearly says he isn't technical at all ! Its all about creativity and having fun.
And its a bonus if you get signed to spinnin for having fun with sounds ;)

And those who do the most obvious reason might be that they are jealous (not necessary though) because even after spending countless time on figuring out how the compressor works they are not signed to spinnin !!

+Alex Klingle If you do it right anything should go above 0db. Also that vocal that goes straight into comp doesn't seem even catch -10db.

Anyone know what vst is on master besides izotope... that red looking one with anolog meters...
Bruh not every young producer says that
He puts all his layers on and plays it and cpu says "75%" .My Pc would say Fl Studio Not Responding "R,I,P" Overheating ShutDown !!!!
he has a good ram and a good cpu and a good sound driver
hahaha
no...i think he 's just has a good Soundcard ( or ASIO) latency setting
Im pretty sure his Macbook has high ram and more importantly it has atleast an i5 or an i7 with multi-thread processing. Macbooks are really good at it.
ASIO isn't worth anything if your processor is low.
If you don't know what Multi-thread processing is you can google it.

I usually dont subscrbe to stuff but i feel in love with your productions. I am a music producer myself and i found it very melodic and tonal...love it!!
Probably the most well described and well explained "In The Studio" I've ever seen. Really well done video, I'm inspired and impressed!
Some more Equing and some more Equing and some more Equing. xD
Maximus Marte suh dude xD
how does he stack so many synth layers and make it fit all into the mid spectrum without clashing one another???
true. im wondering the same thing
Finally someone asking the question I've had for about 2 years... How can you make instruments not clashing onthers at all? xD
filling the frequency range. like as in you have a low lead a high lead a midrange lead and a supersaw for filler noise
and king hienrold use the eq to remove all but the frequency you want to use with the lead
Farrah Ng Using three synths is the best approach. A low, mid and high. EQ them to separate their places in the frequency range and boom
One of the best breakdowns on TH-cam. A lot of people don't like to admit their weaknesses, but you did and still worked well with it. I learnt a lot of things from showing your song making process. Nice track.
Thanks you so much Jay :) I hope you do more like this because I learn it a lot and inspiring me much more. You are one of my favourite producers/dj and it was a great surprise for me.
Thanks for all! :P
Amazing track, but I don't understand how the mix doesn't sound crushed when it's clipping massively without the izotope, but when you just stick it on it doesn't. Usually if I ever try doing this without headroom it sounds mushy and crushed, but on this, there's literally no headroom on the master, but it still sounds brilliant. Anyone know?
tvguy243 great mastering I suppose
tvguy243 I'm not sure if i understood, but maybe master output gain?
+Max Creack great mastering? he said that he just put a ozone with preset on a master
Roberts Greibers
Yeah nvm about that I was really tired.
+tvguy243 if you were to turn off the Dynamics tab in that preset, the mix would sound crushed but wouldn't clip tho.
It's about the compression
do you even layer bro?
Skyni He was being sarcastic thought.
This is easier to edit I guess.....
HAHAHAHAHA, 9 fucking synths for one melody
+Anthony Zigzou There is a layering option with fl which is a lot more easier, not sure if he knows this one :D
Was waiting for this!!💚💚💚
Thank you for this video, I want to thank you for your time to explain in detail everything you did. You really are great :3
"I don't know what a compressor does" -_-
Lmao
What's the problem ? Who cares if he know what every layouts from FL works... He can use them so...
Do you think a F1 driver knows how his engine is working ?
+Sheep Racing Yes, it would be necessary!
what does it do tho
+KRIWDIPIE W Look it up, bud.
What's the soundbank name of VANDALISM?
+Yanick Baljet shocking sounds
+Full House l Edm Music thanks!
Vandalism Shocking Sounds 4
Lead Castle

Margaret Berger - I Feed You My Love (Jay Hardway Remix)
Jay Hardway Hey Jay , I really like this track , I just can´t stop hearing it , it´s just so amazing ! You did some great work on it !!! This is my official summer song ;) Btw I´ll start producing music soon too and I hope I´ll one be as good as you are.
Jay Hardway is she from norway ?
K.Safo Music
Yea she is.
cool :)
How have you got windows on a macbook?
With Bootcamp! ;)
Jay Hardway Cheers, I'm loving wake up!
I think that's were he got the idea for the name of his other track from last year
Jay Hardway Does Windows on mac has lags? And one more question: Why producers buy Mac Books if they change it to Windows, what the sense to buy Mac? For you maybe. Answer please!)
Lotner Movie because macs are faster and can hold more synths and stuff
incredible! thank you very much JAY!! You are the best
Love the video, you can learn so much from things like this. It's really an aha moment and puts into perspective that even an amazing song that sounds complicated in essence is not as complicated as it seems. Really puts your mindset in place of not overthinking things to much. Hopefully you make a video of something like a track from scratch showing your workflow during the process as well one day! You just gained a new fan!
Ey iedereen weet het hé😉... Wij Nederlanders zijn qua uitspraak slecht in Engels... Maar onze muziek is gwn te pro...
zekerrr 👌😉
Klopt maar Engelsen zijn nog slechter in Nederlands uitspreken
Dat is wel waar
Anyone else was checking if Sylenth1 was cracked? :D
K3BAB W yes
K3BAB W Haha I always do, can't help it
Jay Hardway i love your song it's a perfect song i really like it ....so good Man!
take a moment to appreciate this guy! he gave his precious hour to explain us ! u gained respect from me sir!
Please show electric elephants
+Colox Music he did it !!!
+Failx22 link?
4:21 that compressor is set to 0db threshold the fuck is that LOL
Thank you Jay. Really appreciated your brilliant explanation of making "Wake Up"❤🙏
amazing how much i can learn from this!!! thx jay hardway :)
Buys a Mac to install Windows. Woah.
k
Dutch way
Jay used Bootcamp
This is a great tutorial, but i noticed you dont take anything too far in terms of technicality...how do you deal with shit like panning/stereo and other shit like that?
Ken Danzan Tiesto does ;)
He can't give everything away, I guess
+Ken Danzan he didnt go over panning because he probably didnt do it and he explains he uses stereo widening plug ins for stereo width
+Ken Danzan there are some people who can't really explain things very well but they can understand it on their own they just don't how to explain it in a nice way
Thank you so much, this really helped me out. Before I saw this video, I was having trouble getting "massive" sounds on my leads and especially during the drop, and now it sounds much better (at least to me).
Really nice man you re really god your track is amazing thank you so much for showing us how you work, it helps me a lot
4:14 "I don't know technically how compressor works"
Oh my god...
Ok it's nice to make a track with FL Studio! Now try with Paint.
The more I watch these videos the better I understand how different the process of making edm music is for each individual
Jay Hardway - You Mega Good Man! Big Thank! I wish you success!
1:24 Look at the left top corner: 'Tiesto.flp'
Tiësto edit is coming
Vocal chops are my fetish.
Really Very Useful Tips From Jay Hardway...Thanks A Lot...
Super sympathiek. Dankjewel voor het delen van je talent! Keepit up.
so much chaos in mixer :\\\\\
Why does it say "tiesto explanation" as the project file name? #ghostproduced
Drew Doherty Seems to be a running joke in EDM. Martin Garrix does it too
Drew Doherty it’s kinda like the “anyway here’s wonder wall” type thing
Great video and learning too for the ones who really want to.
Great work..
Thanks..!!
Thank you jay for showing this it's really helpful for me
Goddamnit, this actually pisses me off. I've been producing for about 9 to 10 years now and have absolutely no tracks that ever gained any popularity. When I produce I EQ every sound, mix them together, shape their transient via a compressor and then mid/side EQ them to make them work together in mono. This kid does nothing like that. He drops Soundgoodizer on stuff and just turns some knobs in Fruity Reverb. Looks like every fucking channel of his is hitting 0 dB too...
Think I'll throw away about 6 years of knowledge the next time I sit down with FL and just crank everything up to 11 and squash the living shit out of the track and get me a contract with Spinnin'.
The Scandinavian Gaming Channel Lmao He doesn't know what a Compressor is but he is a extremely popular dj.
StefGraphics u dnt need to know everything about mastering .....u have to use u r ear to find what fits in ....if u go too complex abt technical error in project there will be no creativity
I wouldn't say something as basic as compressing would count as "everything" within the aspect of mastering. It's just a simple and effective tool that is really basic and something most people learn very early on in their career
The Scandinavian Gaming Channel I agree bro but dude that thing fits in every producer says that listening skills are important
You may have all the technical ability in the world, but you arent gonna make it until you start having genuinely great ideas for melodies. Jay doesnt have your knowledge, but he has that other thing u lack, talent.
The point you raised about your creativity being limited when you get over technical is sooo true! Couldn't agree more.. Nice video :)
Amo tanto, sou muito fã!!! Parabéns!!!
really nice the way u put the claps under the break side-chain for giving that clipping effect!
Always love the way you do
I love it!!! amazing track i dont love EDM or House but tis track is awsome!!!1
THANKS FOR BEING YOU! YOUR A TOP GUY JAY!
I'm glad you shared a lot of the details of your production. Inspiring. And, like you said, it's always more important to make it sound good, rather than look good in the DAW
Yeay i new Tutorial from The Master Jay Hardway
you're always my inspire
thanks jay hardway this class had gave me a lot of ideas and it will surely gonna help me
Good👍🏻 Thanks for amazing track!
It's real cool that you took the time to make this video. Thank you, don't be mad if we,music producing enthusiasts, steal some of the technics you are showing here =]. It's the first time I've heard that track, i will definitely go check it out after the video, thanks again for making this!
