      I'm sorry for being blunt, but it looks like something from 1995, the infancy of chroma keying. It doesn't look professional. It's sad, because the tutorial itself is great, and the course developer is doing an excellent job.

    this is the most underrated breakdown I've ever seen I learned that sub bass notes sound better slightly understated and that last note that only hits in the sub did so much more than I though it would , the 2 variations of major minor combinations combined with Risa T connecting it to the theme of the song is so inspiring. Thank you so much that was so professional and I literally couldn't take my eyes off the screen ahaha

      I hate Apple hardware bullshit, but the software-side is *stellar* IMHO. Both very intuitive and extremely deep. I used Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X professionally and it's hard to come back to others after that user experience.
      But the OS isn't the best and the hardware bullshit keeps going with the M1s drive early failures... shame.
      Best of the best is a desktop PC that you can transform into an Hackintosh by installing Mac OS on half your drive but get the other half for gaming :P

    I absolutely love everything about this video....absolutely perfect to learn from (at least for my style of learning). I can go investigate various bits further and you tied everything back in context. I haven’t read into your background yet but this video almost feels like a school project where you need to showcase your learning and explain each element. If so, your course is something I’d love to take. Subscribing for sure.

    I am so thankful for this insight with the cut-off option to make a lasting one-note sound so much more full and use it as a riser. Super nice. Generally so amazed to see a song that I find beautifully complex in some ways to be built in such a step by step way. And I think it also highlights how much soul Ariana brings to the instrumentals to make it an actual rich, and flowing song.

      reyalen amilac rail I did before commenting the first time. And PB music school isn’t one of them. Although this is not my field of expertise I work as an a&r for universal Scandinavia, so I know a thing or two more than you obviously. This is just standard publishing references. And now I see that they did it wrong too because it’s filed as instrumental, while the video was obviously vocals too. But let me be clear here: Point B. hasn't done anything wrong by using it since it normally goes under the fair use harbour regulations. Still most people who does the same gets their video flagged because it’s just a computer reading codes when you upload the video. To advanced to understand with your very limited English knowledge. (ref. IT has a license). My English is also far from perfect but good enough to manage international work.
