Soooo many presets this year, the bank is masssiivveee. I went and chose 50 of my favorite presets from the year. These are sounds that have either been used in a lot of my tracks, been amazing starting points for great sounds, or have served well for my students.
Sorry for the intro nonsense, you know I babble, this video is very very very muy importante, and I'll be expanding on it in the future.
2023-12-29 09:32:57 +0000 UTC View PostLike I said before, will be taking the week off presets. I’m thinking I’m gonna put together a pack of pre-existing presets with my top 10 favorites over the last year. But that’s it. Other than that I’m trying to get this Bass Cannon remix done for ya.
Later this week I’ll also be posting 2 videos, one about songwriting and one about production so stay tuned ❤️
Have been designing a new logo for myself, here’s some iterations. The first/top one I think is the winn...

I've talked about anchor sounds a lot. The way I look at them is that they are sounds which could be used to drive the entire track. Synths, stabs, plucks, leads, that could carry a core melody and/or represent a big payoff moment in the song. They could also be the center of the breaks and used on the buildup.
Kinda like the synth from Miracle Maker by Dom Dolla, or that synth that plays in the pre drop of Headnoise (Get Hype) by Martin Ikin. These are iconic sounds that are memorable....
2023-12-19 21:57:47 +0000 UTC View PostPresets later. Dive into this project with me and see wassup <3
2023-12-19 14:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostThis is step 1, will be doing videos in the DAW about this but this is super important to start with!

Wowwww that took way longer than I thought it would. But honestly given the context, I think this is by a LONG SHOT the best sample + preset pack I've made. These are all super useful. I made some great discoveries in Serum too.
I use glitches for ear candy like crazy in my track. Whenever I need to fill a random space with something tiny I always look for some grainy texture. I'll be using those glitch one shots and FX presets A LOT forsure.
Hope you dig!

It's a free download but you could skip the Hypeddit gate and grab it here <3
2023-12-13 08:56:15 +0000 UTC View PostSo as stated in the vid
Had a back and forth literally all day trying to get this song on soundcloud. Pack is delayed, it'll be uploaded by the end of the day, apologize <3
2023-12-13 08:53:08 +0000 UTC View PostTitle says it all, pack drops tomorrow!
2023-12-12 20:00:36 +0000 UTC View PostWanted to give you all an update, it took a few tries to get here. I'm still def a rookie at this breaks stuff but loving it :)

I'm kinda changing up the structure of this series now that I've thought about it more. It's the same thing as before pretty much, but I'm going to basically be highlighting very important artists and songs that you guys should know. I'll usually be breaking down a song, for certain artists I might be talking about a theme that spreads multiple ...

NEXT WEEK IS GLITCHES AND GRAINS
There's gonna be presets mixed with samples in that pack. It's gonna be so sick. FX, Fills, stuff you could use as "synths" I'm stoked. Here's some plucks tho since I haven't filled that category much. Threw in a bonus 11th preset bass since I haven't done a regular Tech House Bass in a few weeks for ya'll. Another video comin'
2023-12-04 04:28:58 +0000 UTC View PostHave been messing around with this the last week and I really dialed it in. I promise you WILL NOT regret adapting this technique. My tracks sound SOOOO much more full now. Holy cow.
2023-11-29 20:47:58 +0000 UTC View Post
I think all but 2 of these are really meant to be played as chords. I noticed I didn't have much of these for breakdown chord progressions so here you go. Some of them are vibey, picked up some new tricks with Serum's Misc. Filters.
Plucks next week!
2023-11-28 23:49:49 +0000 UTC View PostLocked myself out of my apartment this morning tho to start things off so that was great. Anyway, love ya

Hey ya’ll
No producer resources to post today. I’m out in South Carolina taking some MUCH needed time off. It’s been a WILDLY busy year and this is the first time all year I’ve stopped to take a break.
I can’t believe, I’m so close to 100 Patreon subs! I was honestly surprised just to hit 10 in the beginning, this has become a well oiled machine at this point and I don’t know where I’d be without you guys.
So thankful for the opportunity to do this. I am able...

Always trying to add more to the synths, I did realize that I've been lacking in the plucks and pads area.
Yoooooooo!
Starting a multivideo series here. I wanna talk about the songs that I studied to help learn songwriting in dance music. I'm gonna be going video-by-video in chronological order.
I first studied Justice between 2011-2014. They blew my mind and opened my eyes to what was possible, beyond just the bleeps and bloops.
I know I have a ton of blabbering here...
2023-11-21 01:16:28 +0000 UTC View PostYou know the drill
As you can tell, the last pack was the 2nd time that I combined that week's Serum presets with the sample pack. I plan on keeping that up!
2023-11-20 19:35:07 +0000 UTC View PostIt's that time! Don't think I'll be doing this one all on camera because I want it to go quicker heh heh
2023-11-20 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post
Sooooo I guess I wrapped it up a night early! Here you go! Some epic samples and presets to make some UK inspired bass, breaks, garage, house, speed garage, anything you want. I'm stoked on this! I started a dope 135bpm breaks tune using only these sounds, I'll show ya soon!
Ayoo ayooooooo
So i'm going off of the theme from my last pack, and I'm smashing the presets for week 54 together with the sample pack coming out.
The samples side of thing is pretty much finished, it's a buncha really good drum sounds you could throw a lil transient shaper on and make some sick UK bass/garage tunes.
I'm currently working on a batch of presets to go along with it, and I'll show ya how it all packages together in a video maybe.
Wanted to give you guys an idea of the types of sounds that are gonna be in the upcoming sample pack. I got a really good feel of how samples in this genre should sound while making this song. Hope you dig the ID and learn something from it!
Sample pack Monday/Tuesday. I have 2 important written posts that I'm working on for you guys with loads of good information. Stay tuned <3

Trying out some new art lol. I might switch it up again soon idk, haven't been able to settle on that.
For one of the key presets, I left a note at the top for a really jazzy chord you could try out. it spreads into 2 octaves. So go up to each note in the order that I list them in the preset. It gives you a really jazzy Gmin chord that you could scoot around to the key of your choice and use for badass deep tech chord stabs
Absolutely fkn nailed the Parade Da Hool synth...

GRIMEY stuff in this pack. Got a new technique down to explore more in the future involving contrast between high and low octave oscillators on basses. Let me know if you guys want more of this.
Inspired by the epic UK Bassline stuff that has pushed the scene forward for years. Hope you dig!
2023-11-01 07:45:08 +0000 UTC View Posti been doin this for years so I thought I'd spread the knowledge. Did a hack job on this one cause I rushed it but you get it. Hope it saves you a buck!

FINALLY OUT NOW! GRAB IT!
2023-10-30 08:44:31 +0000 UTC View PostAll done!!!! Gonna run the usual tests on it and then drop it for you guys in the next couple days. LFGGGG
So stoked to have been able to produce a whole remix FRONT TO BACK for you guys on video. I know it's like 10 hours of content, but it's mighty worth it <3
