[@SEONNTHAPRODUCER]

Whoa, Sanjay. Thanks for the video explaining your thought process. Figured a lot of things and you explained it well. I tested Logic yesterday but it’s weird...I really don’t need it. I thought i’d value the automation, and drum sampler, but I can finally say I have all I need on my iPad. Now, it’s time to refine my craft. Getting better at mixing, production, programming, and more.

Sanjay is the man of DO! we ask he did🙏 And still staying humble🙏❤️

[@SanjayC]

I was thinking of YOU when I made this video, my friend!

[@aniruddh_d16]

One heads up for Windows users who wants to code an SFZ file: In the sample section, you will need to type the location of the samples in your computer in order for it to read the file.(Eg, C:/Users/Name/Desktop/Samples/Piano-C5.wav). And you will need to drag the wav files along with the SFZ file onto Sforzando. :)

I just wanna say... omg Izotope makes THE BEST plug ins. I learned about them from you actually. I think you were talking about Ozone. I have been all about Izotope ever since. I use so many of their plugins. They save you so much time. RX 8 has a dedicated mouth click thing. Omg saves hours.

[@OfficialLeahJude]

I just might. Just for the fun of using a new instrument. I still haven’t picked up Rhodes. Ive been meaning to but man. I’ve been pumping out these beats for the store and it has pretty much taken over my life. There are soo many good beatmakers on here hopefully whatever I make can hold up a candle.

I know it somewhere deals with the time stretch function, but it won't work like suited from my side & even by looking on the internet, i can't find the exact & precise way to solve that.... Another one: how can i do to see the sample & morph it in my NI KKMK2 screen as it is the case on Maschine MK3 screens ? I can only do it on my PC screen but not on my NI keyboard screens....I also have the Maschine mikro for info Any idea on how to do that all please ? real pains in the ass for me for the moment....
