    You guys don't understand...when "4" came out, for a good year I could not get past this song "I Care." It was on repeat and I desperately wanted it to be a single. So to get to have this virtual master class with DJ Swivel is so astounding. Literally hearing those backgrounds and harmonies a capella made me feel like I had church for the day.
    I am so hungry. If there are any producers reading this and need a vocalist please hit me up. This is so inspiring, I feel like finally someone understands my obsession with this record.

And its only a third of the price of the Avalon. I heard the shootout via RUclips, and was blown away!!!!

    I'd ask about those red clips on the SSL level meters, I mean is it OK? is like "analog" clip or it wasn't like that in the final session?
    Because a lot of people suggesting the beginners to avoid any software clip/overdrive through their channels/bus/chains
