And I wouldn't consider him a newb since he's been working at this since 2005 and was good enough to write, produce, and mix for Disney and their label since 2008 and since then has worked with almost every major label and several a-list artists. This is all from one quick Google search so if you gonna insult somebody, it's better if it's actually true.

    man when @ian kirkpatrick talks about how the subconscious will notice, that is such a gem. I went back and worked on a bunch of my tracks and added things that seem almost inaudible (which I stopped doing a long time ago since I thought it didn't make a difference) and wow it makes SUCH a difference. The feeling of progression vs a song feel a bit stale , truly grateful for this video, the editing and Ian's knowledge

    what is great about these videos is how it doesn't feel like a chore watching. It does not feel like a tutorial video (which feels exhausting to find the right one and watch), but I am learning a lot more than from tutorials. Just a simple straight forward and streamlined analysis of an existing project with insight on the creative flow. experientially rich.
