Congratulations on your presentation as well as your producer skills. It's a huge breath of fresh air, to find a producer which goes straight to the point, doesn't feel the pressure to be "edgy" or cynical or indulge the infamous "KZfaqr humor", yet you're charming and entertaining. Very enjoyable and instructive video. Love your composition too

@@khartbeats you're welcome :) I primarily use Bitwig (or Live with my APC64), which lets me do some incredible things using the native devices that I can't with VSTs. It's the LEGOs of DAWs lol.

Fantastic video! Thank you for this. I searched every corner of KZfaq to finally find a combination of great instruction and tasteful musical examples. By the way, this track got me thinking about possibly adding binaural beats. There’s a whole science behind brain entrainment sounds to help induce meditation and deep states of brain activity. I use those types of audios for meditation all the time. I think you could make something excellent in that genre. 😎

Greetings, I'm new to your channel and completely hooked B-) Did you ever dive into ambient music as such? ... thinking plenty of chords, some drone and the occasional little narration with physical sounds, or some tiny melody fading in and out. I know, even more sleepy it seems, but hold on, the amount of space for multiple planes is immense! One also gets the opportunity to use every inch of that wide soundstage to fill the whole room with structure and story ... amazing stuff for experienced ears. Time for some binging now ;)
