Really nice episode! I've been struggling to synthesize my own drums in a way that I'm satisfied with for a while now so it was nice having a segment that touched on that. Would you consider doing an episode on melodic elements in the future? I'm not sure about anyone else, but for me personally I have a hard time coming up with intros and melodic sections in my songs so it would be nice to see what your process is like when it comes to that kind of thing.

Absolutely going to have an episode on both the sound design of melodic stuff like leads pads and plucks + how to write nice arpeggios, chord progressions and Melodies

at least at the frozen file and ableton didnt ask me where to look for the new files ;( so somehow i still cant locate all frozen things so i dont even get audio ;(. Update: there are still files missing just like the riser for ex and i cant use the frozen main bass sound for some reason it just wont start ;(

At 1:18:00 how are you adding midi notes and changing lengths without your mouse?

enjoyed hearing rampage during the fast forward bit at the start :) actually would be pretty sick to see the project file for that if you can find it?

Phanic Sound

the video is amazing

Heaven Break

really loved the video, would you maybe mind sharing why you color code your projects the way you do ? maybe it can help some of us with workflow and mixing, thanks in advance &lt;3

I believe it was his first track ever made on Ableton, that's why I asked :)

It should be very nice to have that track, it is one of my favourite track from VR because the second drop it's melodic and very fast. I hope it was made on Ableton too...
