Very nice and I really liked the A&B patch, which i have tried to re-create... Two questions, first, I am using FL Studio 20, not Ableton, do you have any suggestions for doing the reverb sidechain if you are familiar with FL (no worries if not) and second, just wondering, noticed a key diff in what you had there with what is recorded (believe D Major for what is on Spotify of the actual song) and wondered if this was because you get flagged for being too close to the original if same key. Keep up the channel and thanks for doing these!

That's great work, but there's so many more - I'd like to hear you do the synth on 'Mind Sensation' - the electric one about 2:20 in. Also the synth in the begining of 'Sometimes I feel - Avicii's Out Miami Mix'. 'Zero 76', 'Conscindo' and 'Flashback - Gregori Klosman' aren't those pretty cool too? The same chord in the beginning of 'One Last Ride - Tommy Trash'. 'Gecko (Overdrive)' is also quite characteristic. ''Plenitudo', 'Mastic' and 'Leather' is maybe less known but cool in their way - there's a lot of EPIC sound out there!

Following this video brought me to the idea of making my own version of "Adagio For Strings" because Tiesto's version is not my cup of coffee. So, I tried my very best in the free online DAW "BandLab". And I am really proud of the version. It's more atmospheric, more melodic. Nevertheless, I cannot release it due to licensing. But I had big fun working on the track. And the cause for this is the "Aha effect" that came with your video.

good stuff... but after watching i think you make it clear it’s all about the MIDI programming.. Other than that all patches are the same... unison, filter envelope, delay, verb and maybe a bit of distortion... the sound design part is quite easy compared to the composition side of things. Perhaps in a next tutorial should explain how you wrote the midi and why it makes sense and how it interacts with the rest of the track!
