[@KRGB]

What the fuck is this?! One second I am watching my competitive cross-stitchery vidyas, have to run to toilet time, and while I'm giving pewps youtube starts playing THIS in the background... Now I'm 20%'ing like a bawse AND I can also craft the proverbial banger?! Five seconds ago Alex Rome meant nothing to me. Now he is my everything. Seriously though, just discovered you today and your content/sound/instruction/sense of humor/production quality are all top notch. The toppest notch. I am now subscribed and belled and bout to binge the deuce zeros all over this banger bidness. Thanks for the stellar tutorials man. Much appreciated!

[@urvashisoni4671]

[@winterking4704]

damn! u always blew mind...!!! AWESOME.

[@BeneathTheBrightSky]

I concur, saws are wonderful for chords.

[@solitajre222]

So cool to see this video after the "Professionalize your drops". I always wondered how you got this sick lead and general sick sound and movement in this piece. This is what I love about you, You really show us how to do things and teach us. So many other artists "show you the secret to good bla bla" and they just show a half-assed sound that is supposed to be extraordinary. You really are a master teacher and thank you so much for teaching us skills and ways to improve. Much love! Please tell me this is a full song. It's so beautiful.

[@Baywood]

THIS IS INSANE!!! Thank you! 20% Gang

Hey nice video Alex!:) pleaseeee show us how you made those airy lead layers! I love those Said the Sky style chords and I've never been able to crack it.

[@barcker4]

I love the guaranteed 20% 😂👍🏼 true

[@invictaalin2496]

I'll be honest. I like this guy. I love the 20%'s hahah

[@ramikhandakji3710]

Sick!

[@timirinnemusic]

Alex at 6:30 you're saying you mash vocals and pads together to create that lush type of layer, could you explain how you did it with this layer exactly? What's the process, you have vocals and pads on separate channels and link them together through bus channel, then do processing on the bus channel? If so, what all goods you have on the bus channel rack for glueing them? Thanks!

[@AlexRome]

There’s no way to glue them together. I made 3 layers of sound with a lot of reverb on each. Bounced them together to put them on the same audio track, and chopped them to follow the rhythm of the lead and chords. Simply following the rhythm will get a nice glue effect

[@NMPIN]

Really enjoying the clips, to the point and using personality and knowledge rather than 10 minutes of picture yourself as an acorn floating in the void meditating on what IS a loop speel 🤪 Or worse the old, I was at my local megachurch and the Pastor said, hypochristian subscription bait 😁

[@cyaan434]

Too much illenium:)) keep it up

[@rickygerason212]

Alex Rome, I'm 20% better for reals man. Thanks for the help,wish I'm closeby I'd join your camp ..btw is that weed on the window side?.. Hehe..bless up !

[@mukulkataria9128]

Can you please release this song? I can't really get it out of my head. This Melody is stucked in my mind since yesterday.

[@loumagis6017]

You can use a sidechain, so you don't have to change the chords every time :)

[@sprks2725]

Can you make or show how you sidechain your future bass tracks?

[@KidNeedMoney15Age]

Very nice drop i approve haha

[@pntori6066]

[@maxburrow3263]

Please release this song man

[@DrPepper776]

[@hashsohan6836]

OMG CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO LIKE STEP BY STEP HOW YOU DID THE VOCAL PAD LAYER THING IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR MONTHS PLEASEEEEEE

[@Alo-ze2kb]

Hi Alex I watch your videos and I have one question... I like to use serum and is lit a bit heavy for cpu what parameters for I Mac Pro you recommend .I remember one your video where you said that your cpu allowed you to do this.i know is not about drop but if you will answer thanks for your advice. I want to buy 14-Core Intel Xeon W 2.5 GHz, Turbo Boost up 4.3 GHz 128GB DDR4 ECC 2666 MHz 1TB SSD storage.

[@AlexRome]

Sotter I mean I’m not much of a computer guy beyond Mac specs. I prefer a 16 to 32 gb ram, a good processor (usually the best I can get in whichever model I’m looking at) and 2 TB solid state hard drive.
