Questions asked in this video
1:03 What program do you use to create your music? Do you play a musical instrument? What Plugins do you use?
2:51 On average, how long does it take you to complete a track? Do you spent more of your time composing/arranging, or mixing, or 50/50?
4:06 You upload very often, how can you generate music so frequently? And how much time do you spend on it?
5:05 Your compositions sound quite different, so you don't use any templates and mix every time from scratch?
6:00 Some of your compositions sound harmonically complicated, do you have some background (school or something...)?
9:02 Was it hard for you to start your music channel? Were you worried of people's reactions?
9:57 Regarding your approach to composition, who are the composers that made you want to start composing?
13:11 How did you reach 1k subscribers in 2 years? I mean, your music certainly deserves more than that, but still, I've never seen you promoting yourself in those "epic music" channels etc, so do you have some channel strategy?

16:21 Do you compose directly on the instrument or in the sheet paper (or notation software) first?
