I'm not going to lie. I'm glad. This channel was starting to seem limited because it was competition, build up to competition, results of competition, aftermath of competition and the buzz was waning. Now this frees up room to talk about music, music news, music happenings, etc and that's more fun.

[@RyanLeach]

It felt that way on this side too

[@HeinzTheBaronKraussVonEspy]

+1

[@Stratilex]

I'm personally hoping for more video game vs classical games, those are very emjoyable videos

[@Aaron-xq6hv]

Honestly, as someone not interested in the competitions at all, I had completely stopped watching the channel because of it. So now that I've seen this, while I can't promise I'm going back to watching it regularly (it's hard to undo what's already been done), but I won't actively avoid it anymore and will almost certainly watch at least some stuff.

[@HeinzTheBaronKraussVonEspy]

@@Aaron-xq6hv This. Exactly this.

[@Lufade]

I haven't even participated, but man did that hurt me for a second 😂. Seriously incredible opportunities you're offering for composers and I would've been very sad to see it go.

[@ahmadrezaghasemian970]

That moment in the beginning almost gave me a heart attack 😂. It's nice to have all the competition stuff somewhere else while getting educational and analysis videos here every week. Thank you Ryan!

[@marialazarevamusic]

Gosh, the beginning for scary! You got me!:D

[@themike97_58]

the emotional roller coaster i just went on over the span of 30 seconds XDDD. I just discovered this channel and as an amateur composer with a lot to learn I really liked watching the composition competitions. I'm glad they aren't over.

[@rodterrell304]

Right on Ryan. Glad you are going to continue with the competitions. Going to check out the new page. Congratulations Ryan

[@RicoDerks]

Great Ryan! Love the thumbnail clickbait too, lol. They are fun to watch and hear the analysis.

[@ZynoaPiano]

You genuinely got me in the first 10 seconds! 😆I wasn't able to take part in the April competition, so I'm really looking forward to this one!

[@SuperSeaMonkey]

Hey dawg! I hear you like subscribers! So I went over to that new channel and subscribed! Can't wait for some sweet beast music to be rolling out on the regular in a good natured, educational, competitive, tonal appopriate manner. This is neat.

[@63adam]

I got scared at first but then when you explained it all it makes good sense. I came here for the music theory, how to compose and allt that so this sounds really god Ryan, well done! Will absolutely check the new channel and stay with this one!🤓🙏🏽

[@andresfernandezmtl]

Wow nice! Go Ryan! 👏👏👏

[@pianoconcertono2]

0:15 that smile makes me happy

[@leszekkarczewski]

You've got a sense of humor! Respect!

[@jezt42]

Completely understand your reasoning. Good call. 👍🙂

[@kaibyoo]

I was thinking about participating for a while and you really got me scared lol hahaha

[@alexchristodoulou]

Great decision, even for us who do follow the competitions

[@chilykees]

I thought Ryan will say something like ai is taking over anyway so there is no more point in hosting competitions.

[@lesfuller5984]

You had us worried there! 😂

[@mouhiazeck]

This is the second time I've gotten a glitch where instead of being an ad, the ad shows up as the actual video instead. But because of all the clickbait comments, I actually wasn't sure if that was just the video 😭

[@tayo_95]

THANKS FOR NEARLY GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK 🤡

[@etiennedelaunois1737]

Ah ah ah 😰 My doctor asked me to avoid big stress for a bit... That was stressful😂

[@shubus]

Great clickbait and a great idea. And kudos to Ryan for coming up with the idea.

[@richardmaia8732]

U SCARED ME TWICE BRO

[@Ramen_Sensei]

Yeah!!!!

[@DalhartWX]

Well played 😂

[@nathan8941]

They had us in the first half not gonna lie. But fr I'm glad the competitions are still being a thing. I have participated in every single competition, haven't had a finalist yet. However I've seen my skills and music grow better with each coming competition and it has been giving me the motivation to create music as well! so this is a really pleasant surprise and thank you!

[@RachelHardy]

Me: "nooooooooooo....... YAAAAAAAAYYYYYY"

[@himmel8901]

BRUHHHH I WAS GETTING SAD AND ALL

[@gravics]

Smart move.

[@uffevonlauterbach]

I knew this was bait! I saw mention this on Twitter. 😆 Subscribed to the second channel.

[@GizzyDillespee]

Seems like a good idea.

[@abdoun8214]

Subed.

[@droidknight847]

Ha, ha, ...you got me.

[@Hamza_Aydin]

Geez man you scared me XD

[@ShaharHarshuv]

Bring back the educational videos

[@maestroflorez3844]

For a second I thought John Williams had died 😢

[@mouhiazeck]

NOO

[@saltsaltysalt004]

Gotta respect the clickbait, it was a great one. xD

[@synaesmedia]

Agreed. This is a good move. I liked the idea of the competitions in theory, but inevitably I found they tended to reward a certain mainstream musical style. I'm more interested in the tips on melody and structure writing which I might apply in more unorthodox contexts.

[@bobmuller3859]

you really gave me a heart attack here

[@Leachy_plays]

Sup cousin

[@elias69420]

Never thought you would use clickbait, but here you are. It's not like I'm mad though

[@christopherherrmann921]

:)

[@MichelBarbaro]

Hi Ryan! Great move! I'm the one, who likes your content, except for the competitions. I'm really not interested in it, to the point that i was watching your channel less.

[@Markrspooner]

Nice click bait 😅 Glad to hear it is continuing 👍

[@mustuploadtoo7543]

clickbait at its finest lol

[@AlexisPerezIndal]

It got me so inspired I made a track in one day yesterday (from writing to producing). First time I really try to write a western soundtrack and I had lot of fun doing it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipTLq3Rpo8prmLs Thanks for these competitions! It puts us out of our comfort zone and pushes us to create more music, which is all we want. Greetings from France.

Dude! That’s almost as bad as when you Rick-Rolled us with your template offer! For shame, Sir!
