In fact I watched your entire operator series in one binge this evening! :) All because I was on the fence getting Serum/Diva something - but I thought that maybe check operator/analog out first.. Thanks a lot for these tutorials they're awesome! Especially for me as a beginner producer! Definitely going to force use operator exclusively on my tracks for a while - see what happens/sounds ;)
