Proper Samples Volume 9: Exotic Drums - OUT NOW
Heyo!
So sorry for the delay, only missed it by a couple days lol. It's been a rough week but I made sure to get these sounding perfect. I'm so stoked about this, not gonna have to be digging for extra perc loops for a week.
There are 26 Perc loops on top of the kicks and claps. Almost all of them were made by loading individual samples into my sampler and hitting the arpeggiator with like 4 in depth layers. The last few were made of me cutting up numerous live recorded loops and ...

I've been asked to do this one many times, here it finally is. The presets should be listed under what song they belong to. I tried to the best of my ability but they are soo so good at sound design.
Like me, they have a few core basses they use in many of their tracks. You could use the same bassline preset I made from "Like This" for "Numb".
Also note that they have a lot of LFO movement on their sounds, so like the lead for Numb flows around, tweak those LFOs if you want more c...

Got sidetracked today. Had to build wood frames for my large bass traps cause they fell off the wall, then got a bit of good Proppa news that required immediate action 💪🏼
Tonight: Presets - 808s & Knock Basses
Next Wednesday: PSv9 - Exotic Drums!
Next Saturday? Sunday??? DEMO FEEDBACK STREAM (trying to pick a better day for y’all)

Hey guys! Thanks to those of you who tuned into the class! Really appreciate the support and think we covered a lot of ground!
I think this is definitely something I want to do moving forward. But I want to know what is the best time for all of you. I'm thinking I'm going to have to do 2 of the same class during the month to make sure there's time for everyone. Give me a few days to think of a plan and I'll reach back out with an idea that includes everyone.
Hope you learn from th...

Hey guys, just chiming in to let you know when the next live feedback session is!
How did you guys like it on Twitch? I feel like the better quality through OBS helps us all get a better ear in correlation to the notes. Let me know if you'd like me to move back to Zoom.
Also, lemme know if this time/day is an issue. I'll be posting the video from the session but if too many can't make it, we can reschedule.
Cheers!

2023-04-26 21:32:11 +0000 UTC View PostPresets Week 31 - Ambience/Atmospheres
This one is way way wayy more useful than you think. I used to brush these sounds off when I saw them in packs, but now I realise the importance of even having the faintest bit of added atmosphere and texture to your songs. You don't see them in a lot of packs these days, the closest you get is pads. I often times ended up grabbing pads, messing with the oscillators, adding my own movement, and a ton of extra reverb to get the job done. Here I just made 10 of those sounds from scratch to make...

Hey guys, presets for this week are still cookin for one more day. We're doing atmospheres/ambiences for this week and I have 6 presets so far that'll reaaalllllyyyyy fill out that last bit of space in your tracks. I just have 4 more to do, but I also finished my last little bit of packing for the new apartment here at 3am. Didn't wanna leave it for tomorrow.

And finally, we have a preset pack for ya. Some really solid FX in here. Felt like I haven't done enough of those so here we are.
I'm thinking next week I kinda wanna do Ambiences/Soundscapes cause I be needing those a lot. We'll see, I owe you some artist series packs.

2023-04-17 09:24:25 +0000 UTC View PostSerum Presets - Week 29 [WUBS]
Bruh. Bruh. Bruuuhhhh. These are low key some of my best presets ever. I accidentally made a wub a few days back and was like "well, this is gonna happen lol"
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND
For most of the presets, Macro 4 is routed as "Stab vs Swell". And in many cases even Macros 2 or 3 are labeled something along the lines of "curve" or "tail curve". PLEASE EXPERIMENT WITH THESE. You can turn most of these wub basses into pluck/stab basses as well as long swells for fills. T...
NEW TIER: ONE PRIVATE LESSON PER MONTH
Hey all!
Super excited to announce and experiment with this tier.
As some of you already know, I have been teaching music production lessons for over a year. During that time I've learned so much about how to be effective on the education side of this industry. I've teetered on whether or not I could handle this, but I know I could now.
So starting in the month of May, I will be opening a new tier for $80 which will give you access to one hour of a zoom lesson per month, and...

Said a bunch in the discord, but again, such amazing work from you guys. I hear progression from everyone and I hear really unique personal sounds/styles coming out of all of you. V inspired after that session.
So sorry about not having the screen visual in the beginning. I'm all over the place these days and totally forgot. But the stream was overall amazing!

Yeooo. I know I talked about it a bit but I wanna go over some things.
First off, we're switching it up and moving to Twitch. It's gonna be much more consistent that way, and the audio quality will be higher for everyone. If anyone objects to this change please let me know. If a majority of you would rather I keep it on Zoom, I'll do that. But I love the Twitch feedback streams

Yoooo okay. That was probably the hardest I've ever worked at a preset pack... and it's not even close to perfect. I tried my best, probably put 6 hours or more into 10 presets which is waayyyyy more than normal.

Yeooo
So as I mentioned last week, the presets are gonna be jumping around themes. This makes it a lot easier for me and I honestly think you guys get better sounds because of it.
That said, I've been going through the presets and taking note of what I haven't covered much of recently. Noticed I haven't done many pads so I decided to dedicate 10 presets to them.
I know I have some solid leads in the lead category, and the leads also tend to blend with the "synths". I usually...
