This will be the most boring video that answers most of the questions you guys ever had for me. Let me know your suggestions regarding this video, as this will become a more frequent form of content from now on. Also special thanks to Clay for inspiring me to do this!

In this tutorial, I'm breaking down my thought process when doing music production. We will also take a look at my 2 songs: Morning Coffee and Twinkle FLPs in terms of mix, sound selection, sound elements and mastering chain.

The purpose of this video is to answer majority of the questions I've been asked in DMs. A lot of people have also been asking me for longer-form tutorials where I explain things such as "mixing" and "mastering" or "sound design." These are things which cannot be explained in 10-20 minute videos, and requires a lot trial and error from the learner's part. This video is to make up for the inefficiencies from my previous tutorials.

NOTE: This is absolutely a tutorial and you are supposed to learn from this
