We got month 3 of samples! I asked you all last month in a poll for some sample suggestions. One of the options with the most votes was leads/synths. So I made sure to put a little focus into those. Let me know what you think!
Went a little wonky with the percussion, I've been texturizing my beats with some high frequency, worldly percussion and decided to throw together some loops for ya in that realm.
There will probably always be kicks and claps in these packs, I think I'm just...

Yooo! Dropped my SexyBack remix today for free download! Most people have to go through my download gate, but Patreon Subscribers will get the direct downloads of my future Proppa Treatments here! That said, any support on the Soundcloud helps <3
Love you all, Patreon Exclusive song download next week!

So I've shown you all how I group my sidechains. Here's a quick video on the parameters I set in LFO tool for the perfect pump. Leaving space on the floor of all my sidechains whether it be a sliver or half of the window is always fine, so long as I do that in combination with this trick ^^^
Samples tomorrow!

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude I went all out on these. I always thought I understood every corner of Serum, but since diving a bit deeper with these weekly presets I've learned so so much.
Serum is by far the most powerful thing I've used as a producer. I'm a huge advocate for Fabfilter software (despite me not even able to afford it all, I've definitely learned it all lol), and I believe they're the highest quality plugin company with a large span of software. With that said, not a single plugin fr...

Trying to keep most of my tips and tricks exclusive to Patreon, but gotta build the subscribes up somehow :P. Watch me take an 8 bar loop and expand it into something better!
Presets on Monday, Samples on Wednesday! Gonna do a new patreon exclusive video next week too!

Happy Halloween, you spooks!
No candy here but I got the next best thing—10 sweet and delicious Serum presets as promised for my weekly Monday drop <3. Love these ones a lot, in the past I've made most of my packs Bass focused, I figured I've given you so many basses by now so I wanted to venture off into some other concepts. I gave ya 3 really solid basses, and left the other 7 for some ...

Yoooooo Patreon is finally allowing video uploads, rather than Youtube embedding. Which just made it a hell of a lot easier for me to give you guys tutorials! Especially since anyone with the link could have viewed those tutorials. Now these are really specifically for you <3
This isn't anything too major, but a little Serum trick I wind up using all the time. Try this on any synth/lead you have in your track. If a lead is ever sounding stale to me, I do this quick routing and 9/10 t...

Yooooo! Arizona has been such a vibe. Amazing scene out here full of amazing people. Phoenix/Scottsdale have a lot of heart and a house scene that's rapidly growing. Here are some shots from the show in PHX, by the amazing @stuttrup. There will be plenty more photo and video, but I thought ya'll should be the first to see!
I know I missed presets for you all yesterday. I ended up playing an extra set on Monday night in Phoenix and haven't been able to wrap things up. Big content dump co...

So glad I was able to get this track up for you guys! Spooky vibes on this one! The ZIP below includes the mp3 file and artwork!
I actually made this over a couple days back in March of 2021, before I was fully immersed into my Tech House rebrand. I told myself half way through production that it wasn’t something I’d release, but I’d finish it regardless. It’s very reminisc...

Yooo! I went and fixed the download link on the original post, but I'm gonna drop it here too. Sorry about the confusion, I was unaware I would need to send you the individual samples included in my pre-made samplers.
The sounds should be in a folder called "Samples". If Logic is having an issue loading the instruments, hit the "Locate" button and it should be able to scrub your finder for files with the same name, and that'll do it.
Remeber, rather than keeping this as a project,...

Hey ya'll, thanks for your patience! Got the presets here for ya. Made some crazy discoveries with the LFOs AND the Wavetable generator in Serum during this. Stoked to put out more.
PS - It's been brought to my attention that the samples in the Logic Template aren't loading, will be working on a fix for that immediately. Sorry!
Love ya <3

Hey ya'll
I'd usually have my Monday presets up by now but we're a bit behind this week. I was approached for an amazing opportunity last weekend which required me to kind of drop everything and maintenance a project. I have a few more presets to wrap up, and will be posting them later on tonight!

Yooo! Took a big leap here and did my first Youtube tutorial style upload. Gave an hour of insight into my workflow, and how I'm using this new Logic template! The template is ONLY available for you guys on here, so make sure you grab the download from the attached if you're a Logic user!
Let me know if there are any issues with loading the sounds in the sampler or the 2 Serum Bass patches I left in there. I could have it all fixed quick! Hope ya'll dig!

If other, please comment your suggestions <3 Remember, I'm trying to narrow down the sample number to around 35. That way, instead of breezing over categories I could put more time into a specific few. There's always next month for other categories, I'll try to vary as much as possible!

Yoooooo! Glad I was able to whip these together in time given the recent crunch. It's not my largest batch, but it's certainly effective! These kicks really pack a punch, already using 2 of them as we speak (that E kick is perfect for my taste, found an amazing layering there). All around really useful stuff here.
I do believe 50 samples per month consistently will be a tall order in the long run. This one has about 35. I think I like that size, however, it really narrows down the amoun...

Ayooo! We're back on track babyyyy. It's almost 2am here so I guess it's technically Monday. Working on music late tonight and planning on sleeping in, so I wanted to get this up ASAP.
Week 5 of presets is here! I'm honestly so stoked that I've committed myself to this. Having a growing library of presets made to my liking (and hopefully to yours) is becoming really helpful to my workflow. Especially with all of this new computer drama!
I want to go over what's already planned for...

Soooo my computer was completely wiped. As I’ve said, I was able to save my files. However, the pristine Logic Templates and Channel Strips that I worked so hard to build up were lost.
Today, I planned on making music. Instead, I spent the night putting together the most fire Logic Pro Tech House template ever. This template is exactly how I organize my projects visually and for mixing purposes. It has bus output routing for sidechaining, samplers with a large selection of amazing kic...

Holy carp! I'm posting this from my own computer! Feels so good to finally be back.
I unfortunately had my HD wiped. I was able to save all of my work, but it will take me a day or two to get my Mac back up to speed with software, presets, etc.
Expect a splurge of content next week, thanks for sticking with me y'all!

Hey ya’ll!
I was able to get my computer in for repairs this week, and should hopefully have it back by Wednesday/Thursday!
In the mean time. I was able to throw a preset pack together this week for y’all on the homie’s Ableton. Gonna be dropping it on Monday, then the following week while I have my computer, you’ll be getting 2 preset packs to catch up. Gonna be loads of content hitting as soon as I’m back online, thank you for being patient ❤️

Hey guys!
Unfortunately I am yet to have an update on my computer situation, which means there won’t be any Monday presets today.
It feels pretty horrible, especially since it’s still the first month and I wanted to make sure I kept up that consistency. I’m really sorry to let any of you down, but I promise I will catch up with the preset series as soon as I have a working computer. Even if it means putting out 2 weeks worth in the same week, I want to make sure you guys get...

I've now made 3 tracks using the bulk of these and I'm stoked with how they're sounding! Stay tuned for more fun stuff soon <3
