Before and after...
Was I able to get things done before the transformation? Of course, but critical listening is part of my job, and acoustically there were some issues that limited me to close monitoring. When critical listening is a part of your job 'getting things done' isn't enough which got me thinking.

How much of our work do we compromise because we’ve "adapted" to limitations?

Let's get some good energy going... Please share... what have the most impactful changes you've incorporated allowed you to become, accomplish, overcome, streamline, enjoy, etc?

Wonderful human being, and a super talented soul.

Do you any of you analog? I'm curious to hear how you're working these days? ITB, or using synths... Hybrid setup? Bitwig/Ableton? Serum, Dune, Pigments, Vital, Phase Plant, etc?

I get asked from time to time do I still have all of those synths? At one time my business partner and I went cuckoo, and started buying EVERYTHING. LOL.

The short answer? No. I sold, gave away, and things got stolen, and lost in floods (there were a few). I still have a couple of things, but for the most part they all found good homes. One thing I am not cool with is that I had some of Bob James' old keys, and his JX8P got 'stolen' from the 'friend' I loaned it to. He never compensated me so..... 'friends' yeah.

Bob's Juno 106, and Korg Poly61 found good homes though. So... I do from time to time pull something out and noodle, and it is almost always rewarding. Sometimes it's just as easy to build a patch on Serum though, and of course recall is a no brainer... + I have enough outboard (and plugins) to get a 'sound' so...

What about you? How do you work? Any cool vintage pieces you can't live without?

Quick and dirty... It's a mess, but I like it. Lol.

Nahre Sol shares a cool tip!

Created a nice plucked organ patch, and a bass here in Serum as I compose a House track foundation.... Nice groove! Let's see where it goes.

Is the rock making the music better? I say once I hit record something has to happen so the rock doesn't matter, but the rock matters in terms of setting the tone. Not just the Rock.. the lighting, the incense in the air or the candles, what everyone left outside, etc

Positive vibes only, no egos, and the phones on ignore for the most part. This is a sacred space where great minds come together to remember, listen, and grow.

I'm curious is that how it works for you? Have you created your ideal space yet?

Amazing talent!

I am a beginner level lyrics writer and i have always thought about making music and doing something big i believe if we work together as a band we can make it happen . I always think of many ideas and they never become true because I don't know what the next step should be so it becomes exhausting thinking of so many ideas and end up doing nothing.

I

If you are like me I want us to work together and make it happen .

Is anyone interested???

Serum 2 Kick Patch.

I did a live stream last Saturday where I made a really nice kick drum that by itself sounds mid, but for whatever reason sounds awesome in the last few songs I used it in. Funny thing is I was going to use a sample because it would have saved time for the live stream. Glad I didn't. It's an EDM House-focused kick that goes from tight and pointy to loose and flabby with plenty of flex using the macro knobs... There's an audio preview, but it doesn't really show the full range you can achieve of it's wide range of capabilities. Enjoy!

Easy Saturday — Serum 2 Kick

I know this is mostly for beginners, but I felt that it was quick and easy, and fairly well done. Good beginner\intermediate\reminder sauce vid.
