Nice one bro!

And where's the punch line

The punch is in the awesomeness of your finished track! Kapow!

There it is

There's no shortage of punchlines around here.

If you ever do anymore of these series, in the spirit of open-mindedness I'd like to request that you end each and every tutorial with "At least that's what I do, but use what works best for you." That way they don't come off as so authoritarian. People like at least the illusion of options or being a contributor to the process.

yeah, I should probably be more PC and quit trying to impose my will. Perhaps I will pre-record a blurb at the start and end of every video that says something like "of course there are so many other ways to do it, this is merely a suggestion and in no way should be taken as an order, rule, or "must do" technique."

Thanks for the idea, I in no way felt that I was being threatened into obeying your comment and I wish many blessings on you and your family.

Timothy Allan's way is The Way. What part of The don't you understand?????

It wasn't actually a request Mr. Allan ... comply or you will be propping up a flyover in New Jersey or wearing concrete boots ...






Luca Brasi ah he sleeps with the fishes ...

I'd also like to request that you do a series of more basic fundamentals.

As an example:

Faders
-What happens when you move a fader up
-What happens when you move a fader down
-Why is there a fader on every track?
-Building confidence through the use of faders

Pans
-What happens when you move a pan left
-What happens when you move a pan right
-Creating a bland mix by avoiding pans
-Pans, pots, and deep fryers

Mutes
-Where'd the track go?
-Oh, there it is
-OK, it's gone again
-This is fun

Solos
-Where'd the other tracks go?
-There they are
-Oh! You can solo any track!
-Why a single track sits good in the mix when it's the only track playing

Let me tell you something about life
-She wasn't the first and won't be the last
-Start saving money when you're young
-Being an adult isn't as fun or free as you thought it would be
-But I digress

Etc.
