I've been feeling really stuck on my songs lately whenever I tend to start off with a chord progression, this was definitely helpful!

[@DeuceGenius]

its so weird idk why sometimes there will be several days i dont make anything that i like and suddenly one day ill make 3 or 4 songs in a rtow that i love lol. its weird

Thanks Alex for the content. I started to try and learn my DAW in lockdown to help my mental health through my music and your videos have taught me loads! Thank you bro. 👊🏻🔥

Dude, I've been stoked coming across your channel. I am primarily a metal musician, but your stuff is easily used across any genre. It is also pushing me to embrace more of my electronic music side into my music as well.

[@simonseyz11]

Would’ve never thought to start a track in this way! Definitely another useful tool to look at when stuck, which seems to happen all too often🤣 Thanks brochacho!🙏👍🏻

[@drindy5166]

You have fantastic content my friend. Been recording for over 25yrs and flew with the advancements all along the way. Your aproach to sharing knowledge is beyond stellar. Keep up the killer sessions! Your channel deserves more spotlight my friend ✌🇨🇦👍

[@vadneywill]

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

OMG I was just thinking about this!! This video was right on time!

[@Bassboy0415]

Thanks Alex! I grabbed the pack. I'm very serious about music production this year and my skills have been skyrocketing lately. It's like all the pieces are snapping together at once for me and I suddenly get it, finally, after 9 years of semi-serious production. You've been a huge help along my journey... I love your personality, I love your content, and I draw so much value from not only the tips you provide, but also from the examples you show from your own producing skills. Very inspiring!

[@russiankid112233]
