I finally got into modular synthesis. I was up for awhile last night/this morning just learning to set up in Reaktor. It was confusing at first but I’m getting familiar with the setup now. Advice: don’t go In with any musical ideas, there’s more freedom when you experiment. “all my music is a mangled version of what I have in mind..and that’s exactly what i had in mind” -Alessandro Cortini (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXO6npDwQJ/?igshid=15t3mcx87r807

‪Create audio tracks. Load 1 with loops. Set the 2nd to rec. the output of 1. ‬ ‪launch mode: tweak the follow action to whatever. ‬ ‪Select follow action and change to other. Press record on the 2nd audio to track ‬ ‪You now have a new chopped up loop without having to manually do so.‬ (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDR2_PKDGZp/?igshid=1hy8er9ss6sd7

I’ve been stuck in studio producer mode for a while. Countless times I’ve attempted to create a fool proof template for myself to perform. I failed....however these past 2 days I’ve watched nothing but tutorials on macros and midi mappings. Now I’ve finally got all of my midi equipment synced together and created my own Master Performance template. If you don’t understand why this is a big deal to me, then you don’t understand that this means I’ll be playing out finally. All I need to do now is practice the new set!!!🎵🎶 (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDPerXBDQmo/?igshid=8evv53ect5fr

Seriously do this! If you have a midi controller, I highly suggest customizing your midi mappings and saving that as the template so you will never have to set up again! This is crucial to perform live, I finally got around to doing this and..... damn.🤭 (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNAr0eDRqr/?igshid=12wrka8ewaipx

It really is that simple! If you can think, you can make music. No talent required, just create, be open to other workflows, and keep a positive mindset. (Remember: negativity drains creative energy.) Also...keep paper and a pencil around you at all times, creative sparks come from all around⚡️ (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMUvjSDDcw/?igshid=117z9g4gds164

I am currently seeking lyricists and producers to form a music production team. I produce instrumentals, mix, master all of my own tracks, create the artwork and do the promo, but I’d like to have some people to work with and bounce new ideas off of so the music has more dimension to it. It’s easier to promote music with vocals honestly. Know anybody or if you are this person, please message me. I’m very easy to work with and open to ideas. I just need a team of people as dedicated. So this is an old beat tape I made last year. My goal was to stop sampling records and this album was my homage to sample beats. It’s available for free download. #2019 #oldbeats #freeinstrumentals #mixtapefactory (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrN-GmDcyv/?igshid=11ppmme75g8bh

I’m experimenting deeper with electronic based genres now. I’ve Been stuck in hip hop mode for so long and now I’m ready to adopt those methods and compile it with other styles I’ve toyed with. Lots of learning but damn there’s a big difference in my sound now! 😈 (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCegkX0jmQ3/?igshid=j4bookvva7iw

Back to basics. I’ve been struggling to come up with some new material lately. So I decided why not just write down the basic minor/major chord forms and then force myself to write without combining too much. Let’s say, If it’s a major song, don’t add minor keys, just stay in that area. I’ll be honest, it helped! Now I’m writing my own chord progressions to bounce ideas off of for another time, not bad 😊 (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3sMrCD_uB/?igshid=a0wh4g0j75mb

Mastering another track I finished. I’m using the multiband dynamic compressor chain to make my mids a bit more present. However boosting that makes my highs duck down. Boost my highs and decrease the mid, now my bass has less of an impact. I need to find a way to create a dry/wet knob for the compressor, anybody know how? I’ve searched YouTube however nothing covers dry/wet for duplicates. (at South Burlington, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_C6mCjq-e/?igshid=u53o7jgas9tz
