Jorge Villalobos has grown into a really accomplished musician. Greg must be so proud! Excellent work sir 😅

[@SynthwaveDojo]

Lol I had to look this one up since it's been years I watched that movie 😂@@philharland

[@TheDigitizedMusician]

Amazing video. Thank you for the free pack.

[@SynthwaveDojo]

My pleasure!

The arpeggio is really dope, and the ooverall track is a legit banger. I'm just a bit disappointed with the chorus string, it lake of filter envelop movement and too much vibrato to my taste. Thanks for all these comprehensive explanations

[@SynthwaveDojo]

Thanks for your comments. One thing I wanted to do was reuse the presets available so anyone with Tal UNO LX could follow along. Certainly the sounds aren’t 100% exact, but pretty close.

[@leightaft7763]

There’s some Good info in these videos. But too much talking. They could be edited down imo. But hey I’m just being honest no offence at all. I appreciate all the hard work.

[@SynthwaveDojo]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@atarijam]

I personally like the whole explanation and talking. Keep it up mate, you earned another sub

[@SynthwaveDojo]

@@atarijam glad you found this helpful. Thanks for watching and for subbing!

[@jrjbeach]

It seems like it would be a shame to edit these live streams. Having meticulous, detailed, and well explained lessons feels like the spirit of this channel. Every lessons requires that i pause, update my DAW template in some way, make some notes of things to try, go get some free pluggin, drum samples, synthesizer, presets, etc. Frankly, it would be exhausting for me to try to absorb all this information more quickly. The calm and friendly tempo of these videos is exactly what I prefer. Obviously, everyone isn't going to agree.

[@MurphysLaw996]

Great guide, I made the main stack following your instructions then I found the vocal stems. So I decided to complete the track. I ended up reconstructing everything except the first 10 seconds intro and the vocals that comes from the original track. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHmym3aHoLaAf80si=aJOKaaftK6WLZ0DK

[@SynthwaveDojo]

sounds great, congrats!

[@thomlev5217]

[@SynthwaveDojo]

I hope to do more Kavinsky in the near future and I’ll see about his new tracks. Thanks for watching!
