My "How to watch Adam's videos" tutorial: 1. Realize that there's a new video via YT notifications 2. Immediately start to watch the video on YT 3. Realize that there's an extended and/or ad-free version on Nebula 4. Presse "LIKE" and mute the YT tab 5. Open Nebula, go to "My library", select Adam's video and start to watch (YT video still playing in the background, so that counts as a play) 6. Watching the entire video on Nebula and enjoying it (YT video still playing) 7. In the meantime wonder how much more editing it takes to release a video to two separate platforms, and appreciate the effort (8.) Leave a stupid comment on YT

This is great! Though it's nothing compared to my achievement of making an ENTIRE SONG in 3.5 years.

The amount of editing required to make this must've been insane, not to mention mastering the video's audio with a bunch of different songs. Great work

also I can't even fathom how muffled your guys' ears were towards the end of this because as a sound engineer, I always find myself having to do 15-minute breaks every 90 minutes or so, otherwise I lose any possibility of clear-headed judgement over what's going on

@@theostanway9013 It is but it's not an odd time signature since the "odd" has more to do with the way they sound rather than the top number being even or odd, usually an odd time signature is a time signature where the top number can't be evenly divided into 2 or 3 but that's not always the case, take 9/8 for example, 9 can be evenly divided into 3 groups of 3 but sometimes it's used as an odd grouping of 4+5 or 5+4 wich is also the case for most of the time 9/4 is used
