Track – Isolation

Not sure why, but this feels like it is in the space of the ‘peak sound’ I’ve been working towards with this setup. Still a bit noisy and still a bit awkward to control sometimes, but hands on, a bit glitchy, and something that can sustain momentum. The track started the day as something happier,

Music Studio Audio Setup – Zoom H6 Issues and How I Addressed Them

I’ve been working on trying to figure out where I am having issues with my audio setup, to try and get a hotter signal in my video recordings. So I drew up a rough sketch to see if I could get some notes on what the issue might be and go from there… The long

Beatober2021 #19 – A Night With Friends

Well… here it is for today The track gave me some problems. Mostly Total Recall… I just realized that it triggers or rather changes parameters on the down event of a clock or gate… and Pam’s was sending a gate for 50% of a beat, meaning that the change was happening on 1.3 instead of

Beatober2021 #18 – Late Night Drifters

Yah… sometimes we just need to simplify! Could’ve made this into a longer track, but yeah… I think keeping it short and simple definitely kept it moving and interesting. At least I feel like I got more out of it than I would have otherwise trying to layer a ton of sounds in and then

Beatober2021 #16 – Simple Life

Man… the MPC Live mk2 rarely crashes on me… and lost some work… I suspect I know what I did… but *sigh*… anyways… regrouped and did this… The picture is just one of my watercolor paint sets… almost went with a rain motif instead… boy is it raining out right now!

#jamtember2021 Track – Wanderlust

Hah… this shook out after three or four failed attempts to get something jamming right. Picture is from the trip to Yellowstone… I mean… if you ever can… you got to go. Just amazing. Yeah yeah yeah… another vaporwave style… and I swear, I’ll get some videos up of the process I’m doing… honestly nothing

#jamtember2021 Track – Shawty

Okay… needed to try something different… and this is both short and way out there… but kind of dig it more than the last track for the day. Now off to do family stuff… peace!

#jamtember2021 Track – Don’t Forget Grandma

So… you literally have to smile when you hear the song and see the pic together… It’s like illegal or something if you don’t. Now… you don’t have to like either individually, but as a total package… well… The picture is of my grandmother, or as many people knew her, as the world’s grandma. She
