When starting out, many people, (myself included) layer because they think they need to, because artist "X" does it, when in reality, there's no reason there even needs to be a layer. Layering for the sake of layering is NOT a good reason to layer, and I feel if you do need to layer, that it fits in a different space and fills the spectrum that other elements in your track don't. Therefore, I would at least wait until the section is finished to determine if you really do need a layer after all.
Can you get a better pop shield your voice sounds crap!! Interesting points though!!!
So helpful, just found this awesome channel and currently binging
Thanks 🙏
🙌
Maybe pick a better midi man this sounds really cheesy tbh
It's not your song, is it. If you want to write a song with "less cheesy" elements, then nobody is stopping you.

I totally agree with everything you said. EDM not really my genre BUT as always Aden, your instruction always translates across all genres. Thanks

so how you deal with phase shifts in this setup
