Soundtoys Bundle is the BEST purchase I’ve made re: music production. Hands down. It’s used on every track, every mix.

[@Mokart_Beats]

Sadly the installation doesn't work for me

thank you omfg

[@somedooby]

Just in case anyone doesn't realize this... you don't have to get high to get in the zone... the zones overlap, so just because you're in one zone doesn't mean you'll be in the other

[@KK-----]

Seems like a chill smart guy. Great podcast btw!

[@idrissekhelifi]

This made my day! Looooove this artist !

[@alfredoma5015]

Poured up some Kiwi juice for this one

[@c.harrison]

Thank you!

[@willd6690]

I can relate

[@worldview3182]

Random question : does anybody know the model of laptop stand his MacBook is sitting on !??

[@kabeh._]

Can't we have access to full episodes in video form?

[@killsam5979]

the best tip from him would've been to learn music theory, even if that would've been an obvious tip. Learning music theory means that your music starts to make sense everytime you want it. you only need to know 1 scale in any key in major or minor to know all the minor / major scales because they all share the same pattern and you just need to transpose things. Unluckily most people is too lazy to actually learn it and they go with the "if it sounds good then it's good" and then it never actually sounds good

[@NimbusAbi]

how would you learn scales?

[@_kidaw3127]

How can I learn that bro?

[@randoH3000]

I think his actual advice was better. You don’t need theory if you are in the zone and expressing yourself. You can easily learn technique through mimicry which doesn’t require theory. More important than that is finding joy or connection in your play. No amount of theory will top how good that sounds.

ENJOY THE PROCESS 📝 👍🏼

Where is it possible to see full video?

[@JoezerHuang]

I don't get it? You the producer is doing a deep dive to his workflow and we can't see it??? I tried watching the podcast on Spotify but there is no video there unlike with Joe Rogan's podcast in Spotify. Where can I watch your full podcast with video enabled? I don't mind if I have to pay for a membership or something. This isn't really a podcast about Game Of Thrones. FKJ is dropping so much gold here and I am left here just imagining what the heck he is doing on Ableton. Come on!

[@Khoamikaze]

Post the full video please.

[@dashmoondesign]

yea seriously..
