Serum Presets: Week 103 | WUBS!

Mannn i cannot stop pushing Serum to its limits right now. Like it's really hard to stop my brain from wanting to explore all of these new options. I can't let myself make a simple pluck or saw when there's STILL SO MUCH TO EXPLORE

One of the things that I think is changing the GAME in this S2 is the fact that you could do Low/Mid/High and Mid/Side splitting in the FX tab. I can now cleanly compress the low end of these sounds and use the sharp multiband on the high frequencies. I can d...

What do you want to hear a Proppa Treatment of?

My requirements right now:

Must be Hip Hop or Classic EDM Trap

Must be a relatively popular song

No ASAP cause I do too much with them 😭\

Nothing extremely new, I think ya'll know my philosophy on that, I like to remix timeless stuffπŸ˜€

Creating with INTENT (preamble)

Starting a new short tutorial series this week about CREATING WITH INTENT

It's something I've talked about a lot with students over the years and it's a topic that could go in many directions. Overall, this is how you dial in your signature sound, and never get stuck with writer's block

The jist is that there are 2 questions you need to be always asking yourself. The first is "WHAT" and the second is "WHY"

What resonates with me, what are my tastes, what is my cause, what ...

Proper Samples Vol 26 | The Treatment

Finally here

I'm hesitant to say I underdelivered because there are 90 sounds in here. 90 samples and 27 preset in one week sounds decent enough to me πŸ˜… I put a ton of elbow grease into these. Probably the longest I've ever spent on a pack.

I opted to not include multiple songs of stems at the moment for 2 reasons

1. This would be like a 200 sample pack in that case which is not the point of the monthly drops

2. I've had a few requests for project files/stems. This...

Serum Presets: WEEK 100! | SERUM 2!!

Hey ya'll

I still have samples coming at some point tonight, but I wanted to get these out to you while they're finished.

This whole Serum 2 drop right in the middle of my biggest pack has really thrown me for a loop. This pack has 25 presets. I wanted to do even more, but there is a whole new side of the language that I need to adjust to here. I did the best that I could and really explored Serum's new features. I've put lots of hours into this pack and the samples that are on th...

CONTENT GUIDE CONT. | Necessary Components of a Successful Instagram Reel

Last week I did a social media class with my sister and it went very well. We think we're gonna do something like it again! She had me type out some things to guide the lesson and I thought I'd share with you!

My sister's patreon has advice for DJ branding! She interviews loads of big djs and industry people on her podcast. Through her Patreon you could make requests on what she should ask her upcoming guests! 2025-03-19 17:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Proppa Yaps e.3 | DO YOU NEED AN ARTIST MANAGER?

Some stuff thats hard to hear here.

Something I didnt touch on enough is having a support system around you. In the early days, having people in the scene around you with connections that are tangible to your level is going to help you a lot more than someone with strings attached. Help people and they'll help you.

The end of this discussion is always create value. If you can't create direct monetary value for an agent or artist manager, you could still provide value in otherwise ...
