so goooood. super love your bitwig workflow!

[@MetalFortress14]

Jooo Ale, thank you so much, hope you doing good!!

[@EtherealMetal]

Männ、first of all very interesting to see your workflow！I like how fast and efficient it is especially with Bitwig。I'm honestly debating giving it a shot～
Was amazing to see how you layer acoustic samples and electronic EDM samples together into a hybrid sound。Especially the synths with the guitar/bass；it all adds up very thick and full sounding！Always loved your sound and arrangement choices \m/
Great video！ 🤘😎🤘

[@KascadeVGM]

Thanks for sharing!
I have tried to combine electronic and metal in the past but it always ended up sounding like a meme.
Maybe I'll have to give it a try again.
