if you watch this episode then the mixing episode it all connects and you are able to take the majority of the important things out of this production

Looks like an interview than a master class

Stargate is a very legendary production duo in the industry. It's great to have them share their work on such an iconic smash hit song

This production + this song = AT RADIO = massive smash hit = cash machine ... the only thing missing from this amazing set of videos is them showing the ATM machine plugin ;-) !! Well done... amazing insider breakdown on this one... thanks Stargate and MWTM!

A very boring video. They hardly talk about the production of that awesome track. Just chatting about themselves most of the time...

wow, it was great. Thank you :)

Interesting production explanation. Would it be possible to have spanish subtitules for part 4? Many thanks

Really not impressed here because it was basically just a chat and not enough opening up the session and teaching anything.

feel the same

Jelle van Snek January 3, 2022 at 7:23 PM

sad but true indeed, the chat was nice though

This was great but it would be awesome to see a little more content on the process of selection for each instrument, process and technical information.
Marvin Rodriguez December 4, 2021 at 3:06 AM

Agreed. Felt rushed.
