    With this guy you can see the passion for creating music, so I trust him, and learn a lot, thanks.
  • I was taught to never start with vocals, which always made me a little sad since I could hear the melody in the lyrics so easily, and I can write lyrics anywhere and save them in my notes app. I have so many half and fully written songs that I didn’t think would see the light of day bc I couldn’t make music that fit it. Thank you for showing this process, I would’ve never thought to try it as a beginner since most people say it’s harder. Watching this made making music look easy and fun again, and inspired me.
  • this is one of the only channels I've found where the person actually just gets to the point and clearly explains what to do. Some of these other guys I've watched take like an hour to explain what you do in 10 minutes

    Bruh man you are responsible for me getting my music producing from clutter to actual songs FR THANK YOU SO MUCH UR THE MAN HB
  • @raoyin1851
    Wow it adds so much emotion to the vocal and the results turn out powerful.
  • I just discovered your channel tonight and have only watch a couple of videos. - wow. You have a magic way doing very little work and getting astonishing results. Brilliant!
  • @jennisonb37
    I'm not sure how many producers (especially newer ones) have access to original, fully arranged acapella vocals. As the title of this video implies, if our arrangements already suck, it probably means we definitely do NOT have that. I still learned a ton by watching you produce a really cool track with those vocals. Thank you, Alex.
  • Your videos are so informative, one of the best out there. I learn so much from you, thank you for this! 😁
  • Your energy and passion makes me smile the whole video!! Love that you are so genuine in addition to so incredibly skilled and talented!!!!
  • I seriously appreciate your tutorials as someone who is still relatively new to producing! Sometimes this stuff is just intuition to me when I get bursts of inspiration/ideas for songs, but I usually get stuck part-way through an idea because I don't know what to do next. Hearing you explain these topics and how to actually develop these musical ideas further is really motivating!! By the way I really love the little moments in your videos where you show your excitement about something you just did, like 5:42. That's really just how it feels sometimes!!

    Thank you so much dude. Your videos are helping me learn so much about arranging, chord progressions etc.
