I had to go through so many tutorials back in the day, you on the other hand explain everything so perfectly. When I started off, everyone explained the science behind the plug ins but no one ever showed the results.

    Man I have so much to say about these videos! I love them! Watching this specific one (because the song has that retro vibe) makes me think that you should do a series where you recreate/produce classics. Lets say music from the 80s-00s.

    The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” rose to number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on March 30. It’s the fifth chart-topper in the R&B singer’s career, but it’s the 23rd chart-topper for one of the men behind the song: co-writer and producer Max Martin, who has helped shape pop music for more than two decades.
