as someone who loves orchestral music, I always tend to venture out of place when making instrumentals. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this and am going to try some of the points you stated. Great video keep up the awesome work!

[@ComposersCompassYT]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you liked my video!

TUDTAM A KIEJTÉSEDBŐL HOGY MAGYAR VAGY (nagyon kiraly a video amugy)

[@ComposersCompassYT]

Köszi a kommentet! Amúgy minden videó elején elmondom, hogy magyar vagyok. 🙂Igen, (sajnos) a kiejtésemből is lehet tudni, ami nem tökéletes, de dolgozom rajta! 😁

@@ComposersCompassYT Beletekertem a lényegbe, akkor lehet azért nem hallottam. :// Nem gáz egyébként a kiejtés, sokkal érthetőbb egy magyar akcentus mint egy brit, szerintem. Egyébként lehet ezt is elmondtad, de erre sem találtam magamtól választ, ezt milyen programban csinálod?

Presonus Studio One a DAW szoftver, amit használok.
