    Sic video bro. I love the level of detail you went into and showed all of us. There aren't many top level producers out there that are prepared to show their processing chains let alone the actual plugins used. So massive respect to ya for letting us budding producers see how a top level pro does it 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
