    I have watched a lot of videos that cover this topic, this is by far the best one that I have seen, really great to see a country music song build up and technique used in logic. As a song writer and musician who loves country music, this was great to watch. Have just subscribed and look forward to seeing more videos.

    Man, Forest… I’ve just gotta say it’s been such a blessing to find this content. I actually watched your session with Clay and Marty on SongTown way back in 2016 or so and it gave me a taste of what I could do… but I spent a lot of time learning the tool, but didn’t understand there was a “workflow” and general process missing once I was family with the software and key aspects of it all... so, I’m familiar with Logic and working in a DAW in general, but what I’ve been missing an example of how a pro approaches the process. Anyway, thanks man… I’ve been writing a while and I’ve got plenty of songs I’d like to demo here at home and I think this gives me a lot of the tools I need.
    One request would be that you show how you take something like an acoustic worktape and build a track for it… if that’s a thing you do I guess.

'm a 61 year old retired navy vet that is trying to set up my own home studio. I was in a country band many years ago while I was in the Navy. I have all of my instrument but need advice on a Midi controller Keyboard and other equipment I may need to get started I'm looking at the Arturia MKii 61. I do write lyrics and have a really good ear, but am a little behind on the electronics, I'm looking for mid-level equipment.. Just to give you an idea, I do vocals in an empty closet lol. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. P.S. I do have my daughter-in-law who is in the industry living in Nashville... hint hint. excellent vocals .
