I show that to people all the time and no one thinks it's funny... Sometimes I think I'm the only one.

I love the fact that there are testicles at 2:27 followed by a guy who shat himself at 2:36 and that the video ends with a sentence "EAT A BAG OF SHIT"
I've never actually watched that before - tonight's plan: score bud, watch, be extremely amused and/or terrified
That's one of the main reason why I am trying my best to produce my own stuff. I can't imagine someone putting up with me and all the layers I'd want to add to a song.

I totally agree. I have that problem as I really don;t want anyone mixing any of me shit since there is so much going on and I do small automations to make sure everything at one point comes through. The last thing I need is for an outside engineer to think a certain horns melody or counter melody in the trombones are not important and you can hear jack squat or even worse, has a hay day on the guitar tone or replaces drum samples *cringe*
Because it takes a toll on my DSP card, I bounce less important tracks together and separate the more important ones for automating. The result is usually some 20+ tracks which would be well over 60-70+ if i didn't bounce anything. I would go even crazier on the layering like adding synths since right now I am only doing an 80 piece orchestra and a 30 piece choir on top of the band, with my less than stellar room acoustics, monitors and recording gear, shit it getting clouded and its hard to make even more subtle parts just subliminal.
Considering my limitations had I not experience those, I would go overboard, because as everyone knows who has listened to DT, the more layers adds atmosphere that is hard to surpass in superiority.
I will kill the illusion though. Layering is not that big of a deal nor do you have to be a prodigy to do it. Its more time consuming and an experimentation of sounds that you want to use, knowing how they will effect the mix and messing around with different arrangements, and if you can program guitar parts or drums, layering other synths isn't really that much harder. However it still takes some talent, and the real difficulty is not the layers, but writing a good song structure to place those layers where they will have the most impact on the listener
Are there any other videos like t his? For some reason I LOVE seeing other people's DAW sessions
