This was the most clear and concise demo of making beats I’ve seen - thanks from a newbie! Subbed…

[@thesilful]

This is just great, you are the first one who explaines it simply and easy to follow, other video's are just to difficult and made me want to jump out of my window, thank you so much

Felt like I burned myself on FL Studio with its crappy instruments and I feel logic is really over complied with their tracks and busses. This seems to be the perfect balance. The instruments and mix itself before you touch anything alreayd sounds better than both!!! The absolute most clear video EVER

[@espeardub]

wow ! Thank you

[@mkiemkie]

Thanks for this video. Amazing how easy one can create beats. And the hint for the templates was very helpful too! :)

I like these videos as far as I can follow them. I am using windows so finally accepted that Option is to use CTRL. I also hear at times "click here" and I don't know where here is. I am currently stuck at 8:56 / 8:59 on this video where we are told to go to loop brace. I don't understand what I am supposed to do. I would appreciate help. - -- NOTE - I am using the playlist and this is the second video. If I am supposed to view another video first, please let me know.

[@gabehere]

The loop brace is the thing on top of the loop programming visor, it's green-ish on the video and he drags it around kinda late but if you still need help, that's that

[@midiwaves]

No midi instruments working, take lanes unavailable in this version of lite ? WTF
