I love that you asked how am I doing. I've been sad lonesome and creatively blocked, but this video cheered my up. It's been so long that I've created a pop song. How are you doing?

Today I tried out your workflow. I have been struggling with making songs for months, but today I finished one. I really love this workflow, as it teaches me to think in structure, use variations of simple ideas, and most importantly: don't try to write the best song of your life, just have fun and write a song.

OMG!!! This was amazing, the fact that you completed this in 10 steps which was the goal,and you created a quality song. Music is so subjective and I love every genre of music and that fact that you got in your POP bag 🎒 was incredible. I just stumbled on your channel and I am new to Abelton live fan. I have been writing copious notes and will turning in please don't stop keep moving because you have value and a organic energy that is so needed. BtW I see English isn't your first language but I understand every lane you stay in. Anyway thank you, 😊

Hey! I've just come onto your recent video to post this comment to let you know that you are doing wonderful things for the community of music production. Yesterday I went into a stream of a female music producer and she recognised me from a video of mine that she watched. She then proceeded to shout out your channel and I responded with "yes! I love her!" We chatted about your videos for a bit and then I said "this is so amazing for women in music production." Here I was in a female producers stream and we were talking about how great and inspirational you are to us and it was just so freakin' great. Keep doing what you do, don't let anything stop you. You're absolutely killing it. Thank you for being here, for your bravery and for your consistently strong output. It's changing the landscape, slowly, but it is.

I suggest that you use Ctrl+Alt+L to show/hide the piano roll. If not, it is a hell to be resizing it every time you have to go to the session/arrangement view. I also did it like you before, but Ctrl+Alt+L is much faster and you only resize the piano when you want to, but not for changing views.
