    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I googled and tried to search for this on KZread without much success, then suddenly I stumbled onto your channel via another video and saw this. Your channel also have Raspberry Pi projects and other stuff that I am currently learning. Basically I don't need any other channel. You got everything I needed that I wanted to learn. Thank God for your channel! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙇🙇🙇

    Love your tutorial series. You do such a great job at breaking things down and simplifying the learning. Could you do a series on Ardour5? I know others have done some but your style and method is well organized and makes learning easy.

    I heard that Photopea is better than GIMP. Is this true? We would really appreciate it if you can do a video comparing GIMP and Photopea. Also If you find the Photopea to be great, we would really like a Photopea Tutorial as well. Your tutorials are the best on KZread and you have really made me learn so much about Inkscape, OBS and now Audacity.

    Hi Rayden, 2 questions plz 1st, how do you achieve good quality (non blurry text) in your video, are you still using OBS? I watched you OBS videos, when I export with quality 18, the text in the video are blurry. How do you fix this? Or have you started using new settings when You export in OBS than the one you recommended in your OBS videos? your text is not blurry at all when you were using OBS. When I say text, I mean the actual screen I’m sharing like file, edit…..etc , well all the buttons in general are blurry (not the text I’m adding to the screen in OBS). My 2nd question, what’s the best way to hide the task bar in obs? thanks heaps

    seems like it has a lot to do with the size of the image. more specifically the quality.
