      @benearle271 4 года назад +3

      @@joyusachoobarb Yeah, the mixdown can be hell. Arrangement is fun as you have the core loop down and you don't have to worry about the mix too much. It's a nice sweet spot to be in where you can just play, and for someone link me who is mostly in the box, you get to tweak some knobs!

    Man, after watching two of your dub techno pattern vids, skimming and skipping some parts to get a quick grasp and watch this vid later at some point, I have to say, you're making this dub techno stuff pretty look way easier than I thought, coupled with a couple other channels I've been following.
    Zero music theory, barely any mixing, yet I'm making dub techno, slowly, like it's nothing.
    Definitely gonna be kicking that sub button

Your workflow alone is superb to me but this current video has given me the tools to move forward. Thanks man. Yours in Techno Flynn.

In fact, I use to use your tracks as my reference tracks and it helped me realise this for myself and help my track structure a lot!
