    I don't think I've seen anything more universal than design principles it's insane. Using contrast in music production (deep kick & bright percussion, etc) is also such a game changer. Theres so much to experiment with when you study basic design principles, and it's something I've never regretted learning.
  • @FastLaneLyfe
    I love that you see things outside of the box and have an extraordinary sense of music composition.
  • @scott-richardson
    As a designer by trade, and trance producer on the side, I LOVED this video!
  • @katwerk3329
    Great analogies with visual art! I always envision the picture before creating a track, and it's an amazing idea to translate the image you want to create into music.
  • @danielperes4542
    Negative Space is one of the strongest tools for art out there, I am currently a visual artist (3D Art more specifically) and learning art fundamentals, and more specifically this one concept, was one of the biggest changes in my career. Now that I am learning music I notice that the overlap between visual arts and music is quite big and a lot of the concepts translate from one to the other, also why I am trying to mostly focus on this in my journey. Thanks for the video, really great to see the concept in action and explained in a music context!
  • @shaihulud4515
    Alice, you can hold my hand any time, and I would listen instantly! Learned so much on your channel - thank you so much!
  • @HamedEmine

  • @lightburning9693
    You truly do share the stuff that pros do that we all need to level up Thankyou for the transparency.
  • @DaveTheProducer1978
    I've never thought about this before, very interesting and a lot to think about, always look forward to see your videos in my feed. You have a great way of explaining things and you would make a wonderful teacher!
