      He said he doubled the voices 16 times? Is he exaggerating? How many times do you think he doubled each voice?

      @Javier Santiago a lot...at least 4 times each one is recorded separately and panned to get that nice stereo image...and the more u record and pan ( of course u r gonna have a tough time mixing XD ) the better it sounds ^-^)

      Dude if you think that’s bad you should see Jacob Collier, he has so many tracks that logic literally changed the max number of tracks from 256 to 1000 for him. He has an amazing arrangement for moon river that won a Grammy, highly recommended

    Charlie is so talented. It bothers me so much I never pursued my dreams for music. Watching this inspired me to want to go back to school for music. I'd love to get a degree in music production and engineering. Ever since I was a kid I've loved music. I was in Dance growing up, loved singing, writing songs, performing on stage in school. Michael Jackson's Thriller will always be my favorite all around. Since I'm 32 I think it's time to do something I love before it's to late. Living south of Boston, Berklee is a dream. Working with Charlie and Watt is a mer too dream. Dreams can come true. Hussle hard to make dreams reality. Work hard and give it everything you got.
