Unfortunate name. Unfortunate gender references. The narration is a bit annoying. Good use of a visual layer to show the ableton over the physical activity, WOuld be better if he continued showing the physical along with ableton when he started playing the MPC controller. Nice job taking us through the process with explanation. cropping, warping, Explains why he thinks the sample is good and how to improve on it. Talks about creative process. Discusses slicing process. Don't think the proposed tempo is accurate based on playback and his counting.
