Absolutely love these episodes where you bring in people to explain their setups, your best vids imo, always an instant click. Weirdly enough, these are kinda hard to find! If you want to find out what musicians really play out with, it’s either the KZfaqrs who have tons of videos and whose setup you know forward and back already, or it’s little one offs that lack a detailed walk through. Cool stuff, man.

Love these interview videos man. I‘d really like you to go a little more in detail how these artists approach mixing live. In my experience the hardest thing apart from transitions in a live set is mixing. How to approach headroom, low-end and how to make everything gel together.

I really enjoyed the format of this video. I've always found it slightly weird how far removed the synth scene and the electronic music (and more specifically club) scene seem on KZfaq, so it's nice to see them brought together a bit more here. I also really enjoy the Thomann videos for this reason.
