You're now a second channel with just a few hundred subscribers that's come up on my recommendation list who provides actual value with no BS and fluff. I subscribed immediately hoping that you won't go down the algorithm chasing rabbit hole. That has destroyed so many valuable channels. If you keep this level up, I'll be watching everything you put out. Always remember that this is the content that started to make you stand out from the garbage RUclips is full off.

[@soundhorizonacademy]

Thanks Andy, I appreciate it man I’m definitely going to stay as true to this type of content as I can to keep giving value.
Chris

[@kalaphobian]

@@soundhorizonacademy I agree with Andy. Your videos are straight to the point and helpful to fellow producers. Got a sub from me as well

[@lastlovedmusic]

[@soundhorizonacademy]

Love you dude!!

[@SuperHonkyPodcast]

I've been recording music for 20 god damn years and never once have I used reversed reverb but I absolutely love that technique!
I use FL Studio though so the process will be a little bit different, but I'm pretty sure I understand the gist of it. Time to apply it!

[@Kay42oo]

This is some of the best tricks I've seen on RUclips and one of the first I've watched to the end. Thanks so much for sharing. I use Neural Note (it's free and awesome) to detect the exact MIDI, so this may help when wanting the chords for a Vocoder.
