Gotta agree with Kanye being on that list – the guy's got an ego the size of Jupiter. And Axl Rose? Classic case of taking yourself way too seriously. Surprised you didn't throw in Justin Bieber though.

The story behind it is gold – love the whole vibe of recording with an old AKG hanging from a ceiling fan.

It's great that the Scale Library for Ableton Live is free now. With 400 different scales to use, it helps me get creative and learn about music from all over the world. I've also started using Ableton Live 12, and it's fantastic. The best part for me is being able to mix music without having to switch back and forth between different screens. Plus, the feature that lets me find sounds that are similar to what I want is super helpful for getting the right feel in my music. If you're considering Ableton Live 12, check out the Ableton Live 12 New Features Overview. It talks about all the cool new stuff like the MIDI Generators and this unique effect called Roar, which are neat to use.

I had a similar experience while trying to export videos in MP4 format. What worked for me was using a different video editing software. I switched to Video Editing Software with NO Watermark, which I found at https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/free-video-editing-software-no-watermark.html It's user-friendly and has many great features for both beginners and advanced users. It allows you to trim, cut, join, and enhance clips with various effects, including titles, filters, transitions, and chroma keys.

I use folders and a spreadsheet to organize my plugins. And for avoiding overlap, I stick with my favorite unless a new one offers something unique.

Totally agree with you on using a big TV as a monitor! I made the switch a while back, and it's a game-changer for work and entertainment. The extra screen real estate is awesome, especially for multitasking. And those Black Friday deals you found are a steal!

Oh man, I can totally relate! Plugin hunting can be a rabbit hole sometimes. It's all part of the creative process, right?
