Tutorial Question

Hello everyone!
I started a tutorial series. I recorded the whole process of the track writing, in a few episodes, most of them are around 10 minutes.
This is the tutorials final track, I think I will make one more closing "revisiting" episode. The main aim is to go through a creative process,
making a simple dance track, with Ableton's stock plugins and samples, no external librarys or vsts were used in this project.

I have a script (and still work on it) to make it enjoyable and informative.

Still I would like to ask you guys, if any question occurs , while listening to this track.
I am also curious what is your opinion on the length of the episodes, or anything comes to your mind.
This is the first such project I am working on, and I would like to make this as good as possible!

Hey man, awesome project. Also what might be cool to look into is into several fx and what they are used for and where they come from.

Mattias : big up :-)

Alume : I miss it a lot less than I expected. But i always kept it pretty low key and didn't have a lot of friends on there anyway. Just used it for subscribing to information groups and buy and sell groups and stuff, party pages plus contact with some mates in the UK.

But I read a couple of things about privacy changes that they brought in at the end of January and I decided it was a good time to ditch it.

I'm probably missing out on all kinds of good stuff, but ignorance is bliss and all that :-)

So after a few trials and serious errors, I came up with the following tutorial. I have to practice a lot, such as the pronouncing, better script writing, editing, but before getting into more in the next part (which will be probably about bass and leads), I would like to hear what you think. What are the weaknesses, cool things, is it too fast, too slow, just anything. My goal is to seriously teach you something while I discover my own abilities, make you think about your own projects maybe a bit differently or in a new way! Well ask or tell anything, here it is! Very first part!

The track in the tutorial:

Well the tutorial project is currently on hold, but I still work on various video content, where I use Ableton. Everybody likes good video layouts and while Ableton's window sections (clip view selector, browse content pane, etc) offer great variations, it is sometimes not enough to get the layout and the view you wish to show to your viewers.

My colleague came up with these two devices, MIDI and Audio Padding. These can help to get the view you need. If you are a content creator, who works with Ableton, check these out:
