[@EDMTips]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@trig2010]

I’m so happy I (finally) found your channel Will. Even following just a few of your tips has lifted me into working comfortably in the arrangement view after languishing for years in clip view getting nothing done. Thank you so much. Also worth mentioning that I’m watching the vocals section on obsessive repeat, that small moment when you realise that the vocal relationship with your track is fire, haven’t had feels like that since the last Wisternoff release!

[@EDMTips]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching and for the kind words of support 🙂

Thanks for the video! Quick question on the 5th bass. Is there any specific reason you added the 5th via a note in the MIDI versus adding another oscillator and pitching it up? I've seen it done both ways and I'm wondering if there are pros/cons to either method.

[@morgannathalia8879]

Amen brother❤

[@EDMTips]

🙌🙏

[@danielkim5966]

Tip: you can change the key of all midi's at the same time by selecting them all and then hit cntrl/cmd A and then go up or down with your key arrows ;)

[@scottbitz5222]

Man I so love the chop feature of FL Studio when I need to make chops of chords, notes, etc along with arps (though the Abelton arp feature isn't bad either, but this is definitely another awesome tutorial!

At 8:16, you show "Hall Reverb" and "Hall Reverb EQ" presets on Return B. Should these presets be in my Live 12 Suite package? (They are not, for me) ... or are they presets you developed? (And, if so, where might they be available)? Again, THANKS for this IN-DEPTH look inside your workflow ...

[@henrikjuhl6587]

Massive stuff and HELL YEAH🐐 Thanks for doing this - learning so many things! 🤩 Also, I'm curious how you've arranged your Drum Kits - do you like cherrypick claps, snares and such from VEH3 and keep a copy of the entire pack somewhere else?

Awesome, detailed, motivated ... so SO kind of you to share!! One Q: Which version of Serum was this created with? I've just installed Serum Demo, which is v1320 (1.32b0), and the Serum plugin warns that your presets were created with a *later* version of Serum (and are hence unusable) ... Maybe the purchased version of Serum will be a later version??

[@ClintGoss]

So I now see that Steve Duda does not update the demo version very often. Serum 1.36b8 was released October 11, 2023, and I'm sure that the version used for this Live Set was at least that, or later. BTW, it seems that revision histories (and even the current version info) is not generally publicly available - being provided to bona fide users. Pretty clear that Serum is key for this genre of music, so time to spend some green energy (I'm based in the U.S. - our money is green).
