WAS ASKED TO MAKE A REMIX FOR A HUGE LABEL! Here's some new tricks I've learned/tried on this project so far!

Just a lil video, hope you gather somethin' off of it. Love ya

DEMO FEEDBACK STREAM, MONDAY 4/27 @ 8:30PM CST

Yo!

So sorry for the delay on this month, wanted to confirm a good day, time, and method. I will be doing a live demo feedback stream on Monday the 27th!

Last time, we attempted to do the stream on Discord, which was a huge failure. Shoutout to Ancient.EXE again for coming in with the zoom pro link.

This time, I'm thinking we do it on Twitch! Obviously that means the stream will be open to the public, however the demos will not be, that will still only be open to patreon sub...

Serum Presets Week 26 - Plucks and Keys!

Yeooo! Thought about doing something different this time around.

I'm just gonna be shuffling it up week by week. Maybe you'll get 10 presets in my style, maybe you'll get 10 presets in someone elses style, maybe you'll get 10 of a specific type, or maybe you'll just get a whole blend. Whatever it is, I'm a night late but I delivered!

Really stoked about this melodic techno pluck, wrote a melody I'm gonna use immediately. It's really good at jumping octaves from the C1 - C2 octaves...

EXTREMELY HELPFUL WEBSITES

Here are some of the online resources I've put to work on my own music and promotions. Some are free, some are paid. Might be updating this list as I go

MUSIC STUFF

LALAL.AI ($15-$30 Time Packages) - Vocal and Instrument Remover: A lot of you are already on this, this is how I've created the acapellas for a LOT of my songs.

VOTING FOR PROPER SAMPLES VOL. 8

Let's get a new category rollin!

REMEMBER TO COMMENT IF YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION, I'LL ADD IT TO THE LIST

My Latest Video w/Dropgun! How To Sound Like BYOR

Yeoooo if you missed it, you should definitely check out this video I just did with Dropgun. The samples in this pack are immaculate.

Proper Samples - Volume 7: FILLS!

Heyyyoooooo!

Duuuuuuude these fills are so good. I'll let the video speak for itself. I'm very very hyped to use this. And very hyped about the project in this video. Check it!

Serum Presets - Week 25: Proppa Style :P

Ayoooo

So there are a few reasons why I did a pack in "my own style" today (basically the old way we did it)

1. I feel like I was really breaking ground, adapting my own approach on some fresh new sounds. And although I am getting some great sounds out of the artist series, I wanted to give you guys some stuff that doesn't exist yet.

2. It's the 25th pack! That's 250 presets I've made for you guys (and me) and I thought I'd celebrate a bit

3. These artist series packs ...

DJ TUTORIAL: Rekordbox Prep, Cues, Looping, Some Tricks!

Yooooo Happy Monday, finally did one of these!

Apologize for it being a bit messy, especially witht the lighting and focus on the decks/mixer. This was a hard setup, will figure out how to dial it in for future videos. I've also NEVER taught DJing to this extent before. I've taught music production for a while to multiple people, so videos on those concepts comes naturally; but translating my tricks on the decks into teachable words for the first time was a bit of a challenge. There's r...

Serum Presets - Week 24: BISCITS!!!!

Ayooooooo

I really wanted to do this one for a minute so here ya go.

One thing I noticed about Biscits basses while doing this, is that you're NOT gonna get the full sound out of just Serum. You need a good balance of post processing on the high frequencies to get it right, let me try to explain.

Biscits bass selection is awesome because it's actually very simple. He likes those very classic sounding house basses. They're sounds that you aren't going to get a lot out of in p...

Serum Presets Week 23: Malaa - HI HATS STRUCTURING, Preset creation, and more!

Hi friends!

Got week 23 for you here. Malaa per request of Trak-B. Funny, I'm so used to doing tighter Tech House sounds these days I may have lost a little of that Bass House Mojo

Regardless, here's a LONG video, pretty much a full lesson! Definitely watch my section on how I build Hi Hats, you don't want to miss that. Big tricks.

Apologize for the jumpiness of the video, had to c...

VOTING FOR PROPER SAMPLES VOL 7

Ayooooooo we got Vol. 7 up next! Let's keep it moving with the themes! Vocals has been bumped off the list for now as well!

MAKE SURE YOU COMMENT A SUGGESTION, I'LL ADD IT TO THE LIST

Proper Samples Volume 6 - VOCALS

I did it! I finally fkn did it. Here's a pack full of vocals, mostly from yours truly! Completely royalty free, do what ya need with em. I know it's not a massive pack, but this one was causin me some anxiety. Was feeling really self conscious about these samples, but I'm happy with the ones I selected and hope you get some use out of them. Next pack will have more <3

Let me know your thoughts, love ya!

Vocal Samples almost here....

This is your last minute opportunity to request a vocal line...

LOVE YA

Serum Presets Week 22 - Cheyenne Giles!

Hey guys

Sorry for the delay on this weeks presets. They're here and per request of Ancient.EXE, they're in the style of Cheyenne Giles. Some harder hitting stuff here, will dip into another request for next week.

God if this pack wasn't a lesson on self care. I've had about a week straight of high stress and I have NOT been able to perform. I'm having a hard time even typing right now. You GOTTA take care of yourselves. That's the most important part of all of this. Hoping to get...

Monday Presets....

As some of ya'll may have noticed, I fumbled the bag today and did not get the presets out.

NGL between the Super Bowl, other work, and the fact that I'm watching my sister's dog (who's incredibly cute but also incredibly stupid, so v high maintenance), I did not get them done. I sowwy.

I will be getting them out ASAP. That might mean in the morning, that might mean at night, maybe the next day. But I'll get them done. I promise I will, along with the vocal samples this week.

Feedback Stream Friday 2/3

Yooo!
Sorry it took me a minute on this. Here's the full stream from Friday. If you didn't submit a track, you might still learn something!

We had an issue with Discord Live. I'm going to figuring out a higher quality version of this in the future. Possibly a private Twitch channel, will keep you posted. Big shoutout to Ancient.Exe, absolute legend for throwing in a Zoom Pro link to keep the session going.

I have a 40ish min long video about fills/transitions, where I also buil...

Tansitions/Fills

Hey yall!

Got a video on transitions and fills here. Showed ya some of the production process too!

If you wanna skip through the production part straight to the topic at hand, I start talking about fills at 30:12

Tried to edit as much as possible hear without skipping to fast, I'll try to get better! 

Serum Presets Week 21 - Chris Lake Style! Presets Run Through + ID PREVIEW!

Ayooo!

We got the new presets here.

Pls PLS give me suggestions for next weeks pack, the sooner I have suggestions, the better the packs will be!

Lemme know what you think of this new ID in the comments, how do you feel about the melodic section? Do you like Fxrroh's vox?

Love ya'll!

Hi

Above is the latest video I did with Dropgun. I know, it ain’t exclusive content. As I stated in the last post I got videos dropping specifically for you this week. That said, I want to make sure you get eyes on this! Some good insight into my workflow, how I approach the starting phase of a track.

I guess the one perk is that you have direct access to me, so feel free to ask any questions about what I did in this and I gotchu ❤️

Use this post as a chance to vote on the artist for tomorrow’s preset pack. Or any preset pack

Comment your suggestions!

Dropping some videos this week, next week is the vocal sample pack!

Thank you to those who tuned into the discord feedback stream, which we had to move to zoom. I’ll get that figured out for next time! The tracks were really amazing, we had a great time and met some of you finally! Can’t wait to do it again.

I’ll be honest, I’m still awake, it’s still my Saturday night. I was practically falling asleep at my gig and when I...

Discord Live Feedback Tonight!!!

I don't care if it's a 1min idea, we're a tight community right now so please throw your links in the Discord!

This will change hopefully as we grow, but for now I'm happy to do multiple links for everyone. We can pump through ~20-25 demos in an hour from my experience so that's the goal.

See you all at 8 Central!

DISCORD LIVE FEEDBACK STREAMS

Hey ya'll!

Checked in on that poll for the feeback streams. Looks like you guys want weekday evenings. I think given my current schedule with lessons and music, the best day to do it will be Friday.

With that said, the first Proppa Discord/Patreon Feedback Stream will be This Friday, 2/3 at 8pm CST.

If there's an issue with this day/time, let me know. I tried to pick one that is best suited for the bulk of you. I know some of you are across the pond from the...

Serum Presets - Week 20: Dom Dolla Style!

Heyooooooo got the new set here! This one is completely based off of Dom Dolla sounds.

Some of them are meant for layering, he really likes highly textured main bass layers, so keep that in mind and use one of my other subs!

Oh, btw, that's now over 200 presets! Holy shit!

Gain Staging... THE SAUCE

Alright alright alrighhhttt. So I wanted to do this as a video but I figured I'd do it as a text post. I think it'll be a lot easier for you guys to pull the information this way.

This is a resource I've offered to my students in all of my time teaching lessons, finally opening it up to my Patreon subs!

These numbers are a general target area of where I keep all of my sounds in my mix pre-master. Keep in mind, everyone is different. Everyone likes to choose sounds with different c...

Serum Presets Week 19 [Matroda Style]

Yoooo!!!!!

Have been trying to make upgrades to this patreon all over. I decided today that it'd be cool to theme some Serum packs! Today we have a Matroda style Serum pack with some basses and synths that should help you get that underground bass/tech fusion sound!

PLEASE comment suggestions for the artist inspiration you would like me to use for the next pack!

PLEDGE CHANGE: Discord Live Feedback Sessions

YOO BIG NEWS

So life has been very busy for me as I've told ya'll 600000 times. I unfortunately have had a hard time finishing remixes for the Patreon. I would rather not give you guys underproduced tracks just to do it. I'd rather the content I give you be of my best capability.

That said, instead of trying to race a remix onto Patreon once a month, I decided that I will be doing Feedback sessions in place!

This feedback session will take place on the 1st week of the month ...

Mixing down my next single!

Lonngggg video here, i guess these are meant to be treated more as educational live streams haha. Get a look into the steps I take to make sure my track sounds pristine.

Love ya!

Finishing Production on my next single - How To: Techno Rumble, Ear Candy

This was supposed to be me mixing my next single, but since I realized there was more work to be done I decided to finish the production. Had a little fun with it too. Next video will be mixing! Hope you dig

Serum Presets - Week 18!

Ayooo. Sorry for being late. I appreciate you guys being patient and supporting me through everything. This transition to full time working from home has kept me a lot busier than I thought, but man am I happy to have this life right now.

Some good stuff here, want to leave some notes

• The Techno 808 in this pack is meant to be played on 1/4 notes with the kick, but you could do as you please. If you've ever heard my song "dope shit" through my insta...
