    Have you thought about going back to old tutorials and doing a reaction video where you talk about what you would do different, now that you’ve updated and simplified your process? For example, if you aren’t using as many plugins on a vocal chain, explain why you wouldn’t follow the same process. Just so we can see what you learned from analyzing an old workflow and what you changed moving forward.

    Can't lie man, this was one of the most refreshing, conversational, no-nonsense interviews I've seen in a while. Even LJ was more "serious" than normal lol (he be funny af tho frfr). This one was full of gems and perspective that reminds us, "keep it simple". It's okay to be "in the box" or not have a $20,000 vox chain at the crib lol. Thank y'all so much man. I just pulled an all-nighter at my studio in Miami and came straight home to watch you guys. Much appreciated to everyone on the cast and involved.
