What's the song playing @ 2:00 ?

@RayhanOfficial Hi, thanks for getting in touch. The music is part of our production library. You can find similar sounds and loops by visiting companies like P5Audio(dot)com.

Some Europeans are so fukin cool. I love their appreciation for real soul music and real hip hop. They dont have that spoiled priveleged mentality that many white Americans have.

Musical heaven! I've listened to all the tracks that were released from this studio... it was cool to see where the magic happens;)

I've been kind of researching the kind of sounds Nicolay uses for his piano and EP keys. I'm guessing using Reason (program I use) is pointless trying to reach those sounds.

this is such a cool video! does anyone know any VSTs which can make those rich organ sounds from his motif? or any good VSTs in general

[WinkSound]

@JiggaJames4 Nice. Let us know what you end up deciding on.

[JiggaJames4]

@WinkSound Very cool of you to respond! I'm going to local music shops to browse around.

@smoochdaddy Hi Smooch do you get an error message from pro tools? if so write it down and look on Avid's website and goto the support section and on the right hand side you should see a section for pro tools and click on the knowledge base. type in the error number that pro tools gives you when it crashes and see if you can find any articles that might help you.

@smoochdaddy Hi, thanks for watching. We'll see if we can find any info on this. In the meantime check out Obedia(dot)com. They have tons of knowledge concerning Pro Tools and general DAW troubleshooting.
