    • @aame6643
      @aame6643 Před 5 lety +19

      mum carpet don’t try to philosophize it we want to work like him because we like his work no need for a “be yourself” saying

      Majd Bishara he was ri8...do what he does but do it your way. There is no point if u just copy someone without putting in effort to give it your own punch...

    • @aame6643
      @aame6643 Před 5 lety +9

      ALIAS you guys are over explaining what we said
      Thriving to be like someone doesn’t mean to be a copy of him nor copy his work
      Being in the music business wether you are a musician, an audio technician, or a lighting technician is no easy pickle it takes big effort
      And we are hoping to land a career and future just like his doing the thing we love the most just like him

    Love these videos! Could you do a more simple explanation of how to create a show based off smaller portions of gear? Maybe an affordable setup for beginners.

  • @UOttawaScotty
    @UOttawaScotty Před 4 lety +1

    I find these videos fascinating. I am a full time musician in Ottawa Canada, been playing music all my life, and I have seen a slow but steady decline in the live music scene. I do not think my line of work will ever completely disappear, but in some sense, I feel like the digital age is a fully loaded freight train hurtling down the tracks with no breaks and at this point it is just an unstoppable force, and seeing things like this on CZcams, I can see why. These DJ's are the new age rock stars, and with the slickness in production paired with incredible light shows, its just an overload of the senses, and you cant help but be mesmerized. These visual spectacles are pretty awesome I must say, and I thank you for these videos, its awesome to see what goes into this.

    • @tomasengstrom6362

    Hey Christian, I've watched your videos for quite a while and love them. Has definitely influenced my programming style a lot.
