    This sound has fascinated me since Metrik's Viper days, but has evaded me. Thanks for breaking it down. I find I write one new song for every tutorial you have been doing. I have typically made liquid and experimental, but you are helping me to hop out of the bubble and explore other styles I like. I bought your production kit by the way and have a new jazzy soulful jungle hybrid song developing now. Thanks for that resources. The amen patterns are particularly helpful to see them broken down. Holdin' it down in Stratford Ontario, your tutorial have made Covid times very productive and inspiring for me. Thanks.

    • @STRANJAH
      @STRANJAH  4 года назад +1

      That's cool Nathan and thank you for supporting me by buying the kit! I plan to reach out to everyone to send some tracks they've made with it, and do a reaction video to the best ones.
