[@resher179]

I can't explain how your channel hasn't blown up. so interesting, and about 75% of your artists are some of my absolute most favourite artists, so I definitely need to check out all the others.

[@DaveSchulze]

And just like that you’re back! Thanks for this!

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Back at it again!

Dope tutorials

[@michaelmilano4457]

awesome mate!!

[@roig04]

Great video Tom! Keep doing it bro. Love from Ibiza!

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Means a lot, cheers dude!

[@QWLMusic]

A part 2 arrangement would be cool, if possible. Great video!!

[@tombenjaminmorris]

That’s a good idea, like how to arrange this into a full track?

[@QWLMusic]

@@tombenjaminmorris Yes, that'd be fantastic!

[@666Bockwurst666]

love all your stuff so far

[@tombenjaminmorris]

That's great to hear, thanks for your comment!

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Hey guys! Quite a simple track this week with a focus of the organic and natural sounds. Plenty of room for vocals on top of this instrumental. Let me know if you have questions about anything I've covered in this breakdown :)

[@willsoul007]

Nice one Tom. This directly inspired me to write a track today 👌

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Great to hear! What kind of stuff do you make?

[@willsoul007]

@@tombenjaminmorris mainly house but I’m currently delving into a Bonobo type vibe while I try and write an album. Hoping to get one out this year 🤞

[@tombenjaminmorris]

@@willsoul007 That's cool, would love to hear anything that you put out :)

[@АринаРевольвер]

Nice video! Can you make next one about Boards of Canada, please?

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Great stuff! I'll add them to my list to consider :) Any songs in particular that you like the style of?

[@АринаРевольвер]

@@tombenjaminmorris Yeah, maybe Rue the Whirl, Satelite Anthem Icarus, and Music is Math, idk... Thank you!

[@tombenjaminmorris]

@@АринаРевольвер Thanks for the suggestions

[@brendzone]

Another great tutorial Tom. Im wondering if you could do one for fakear? Cant find anything online

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Thanks mate! I'm having a little listen to Fakear now and quite like it :) I'll add it to the list to experiment with.

Hi Tom, really enjoying your tutorials. I would be interested in your opinion or recommendations on gear to recording your own samples / hits - but specifically on the go, i.e assume something like a portable condenser mic ?

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Hey Michael, thanks for your comment! I've been thinking of doing something similar. Something like the Zoom H5 would work well. It looks like you can use the built-in microphones or connect your own higher quality mic through an XLR cable, all battery powered which is nice for on the go

[@buskingforlife]

I am finding your vids quite inspiring, i like how you keep it simple. Thanks. Also nice that you're using Logic! I second the comment below about covering Boards of Canada. Should get a few views. Might be worth doing a couple of vids on them if you like their stuff like with bonobo as theyve made such varied stuff over the years. I am struggling a bit with getting my plucks to sit right atm so if its of any interest to cover melodic progressive house that could be cool. Christan beat hirt's production is what im going for pluck wise. My favourite use of his plucks is in the song 'Toes in the sand' by Dinka. I know in theory they are simple as hell but theres something he does especially the the 'dinka' stuff. I love how warm but also bright they are (i believe they are layered) Theres a vid of him on youtube explaining a little of his process and he was using a super old version of logic and using Es2. Anyways, yeah maybe Dinka style could be an idea. Floating Points would be another great one to see you cover, his sound is class. Thanks again.

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Brilliant, I'll make sure to bump this one up the list in that case. Thank you for the multiple suggestions, I also like Floating Points so that's something I can look into too :)

[@buskingforlife]

@@tombenjaminmorris Nice one mate, yeah i thought you might be a fan of Floating Points.

[@mmckmusic]

Great work Tom. As a side note, do you use Ableton as well as Logic?

[@tombenjaminmorris]

Thank you, no just Logic at the moment. Is Ableton your DAW of choice?

[@mmckmusic]

@@tombenjaminmorris Yes, I use Ableton primarily. Keep up the great work.

[@tombenjaminmorris]

@Mr Fred Thank you! I feel the same and Logic is a really nice DAW
