@@levondarratt787 "plat" is Platinum, like hits that are created by Ian Kirkpatrick that are certified Platinum and Gold all around the world. And I wouldn't consider him a newb since he's been working at this since 2005 and was good enough to write, produce, and mix for Disney and their label since 2008 and since then has worked with almost every major label and several a-list artists. This is all from one quick Google search so if you gonna insult somebody, it's better if it's actually true.

what is great about these videos is how it doesn't feel like a chore watching. It does not feel like a tutorial video (which feels exhausting to find the right one and watch), but I am learning a lot more than from tutorials. Just a simple straight forward and streamlined analysis of an existing project with insight on the creative flow. experientially rich.

Showed this to all my friends and all agreed, some puristic musicians, that is a great great great production. Glad to find there's an instrumental version so i can play guitar on top of it. And more amazed that i can see how you made this sound like this. Thank's 4 the sharing, lot's of love man!
