MAKING COMPLEXTRO FROM SCRATCH

In this video I demonstrate how I go about creating an idea for a tune...from the dreaded blank canvas! This was edited from about 6 1/2 hours of working. A lot of my process isn't linear. I know the editing style makes it looks very streamlined...but in reality things constantly go wrong....I try things and they don't work out. It's just part of the process. It is much more enjoyable, however, to watch the video with those parts edited out!
