By NO MEANS are we "experts" on this topic, but Victor and Ken do share their experiences. How do they approach making music without lead vocals?

本周Jer住你 EP22: 「Jer住你」大革新！Feat. Interview - 鄧麗欣 Stephy part 2/2
It seems like we've been wasting a lot of great content by publishing so much each week in one episode, when we could've spread it out and make each episode a little shorter. That way it's easier to digest and makes Ryan's job easier. Thanks to a lot of audience feedback, we've decided to change the format of our show and feature only ONE guest per week, whether it's a well-known artist or a behind-the-scenes music person. So this week we continue with part 2/2 of our interview with Stephy Tang.
This week talk a bit about A.I. predicting composers' tendencies and can they replace real life composers? Some viewers/listeners asked for more technical topics, especially surrounding arrangement. Well, I passed the ball to HKPMC #hkpmc where we hopefully can do a webinar or 2 regarding this popular topic. We type of listening devices do we use to listen to mixes and while working? Also we get into using "programs" in concerts, which means using pre-recorded tracks to playback during a live concert, along with the live band.
Plus our feat. interview with Mister's bassist-Dash and drummer-Tom. Enjoy!
