      “How hard can it be, just push a few buttons on your laptop”. This video would be my response. Electronic music only differs from other genres in the tools and techniques involved. But the craftsmanship that goes into producing beautiful music is just as important as any other kind of music!

    Nice one guys! I remember first discovering Ben Böhmer a few years ago and being absolutey amazed by his unique emotional style, then became interested in music production and found your videos and courses in a similar style but from different artists. Since then you've made videos specifically in Ben's style, but actually having him show how he works is not something I'd ever have imagined to see. Keep up the great work!
