This was great I learned alot about compositions in this tutorial. I wonder if you guys actually recorded these samples yourselves (in the first section) and if you did what are some of the best DIY objects to record. Rice? Sand? Water? And also what equipment do you guys use to record those sounds? Thank you Koan Sound for your time :3

Double Tap

That was really good. I was thinking in the middle of it how amazing it was that you could remember how you'd come up with the ideas and how they had developed in the first place.

Prayash

Just.. ridiculously incredible. Amazing display of knowledge and technical aptitude while pulling back the curtain on your creativity. I will worship this video forever

I'm ultra noob, but do you put the sames delays on every track that need it, and why dont you use delay tracks to do this ?
