Q&A with my Manager - Industry Q's

What's up guys and gals! I have a bunch of interesting questions that are more industry focused and release focused rolling through my DM's that I thought would be really cool to get answered by my manager.

So as a lil treat I'm going to set up a call with him and record our little Q&A with questions from you guys!!

SO ask away in the comments below. What are some questions you might have that are related more to the industry side/release stuff that you wanna know about, and I...

Sub Tutorial Pt.1

SUBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZ

An area that get's overcomplicated in my opinion, so I'm here to simplify it. This is a process that can be changed and molded to your own workflow and flavour but here are at least some basics to go forward with regarding how to produce them.

I'll be doing more about subs and about sub mixing in the future, I dont wanna cram to much info into these vids. For now, be free and create the LOWWW

Monthly Q&A Idea pt.2

Okay I had another idea! Because it would be difficult to set a time where everyone would be available to tune in, I'm thinking we do an FAQ styled video, where I'll make a post, you guys comment your questions, and I will make a separate video answering them, so that everyone can watch it when they have the chance and it'll always be available. 

Would that be better or would you guys prefer it to be fully livestreamed? 

Monthly Q&A?

Hey Patronettes

Who would be down for a monthly Q&A? 

We would set a week/day/time to meet up and chat. Either just livestreamed through Patreon or though zoom or even on discord so we can all have video. I'll figure it out but let me know who would be down!

February - Sample Pack!!

Is it just me or does typing out the word 'February' never feel right?

Anyway its sample pack week! 

This week I've dug through the vault to grab some vErY eXsLuSiVe audio files from my Flatline Reprise project (FX, Guitars and Drums) plus some other little goodies from stuff I'm working on right now. 

The idea for this is so you can get an insight to what my stems might look and sound like (i.e. please don't use these stems anywhere unless they aren't recognizable...

Sample love

Happy weekend everyone! Hope you’re all in for a good one (and hopefully organising your files 😠 hahah)

Getting some samples ready for you guys for next weeks upload. Let me know what you’re missin’ in those (organised) sample folders of yours down in the comments.

I should say I need a screenshot of your file folders from each of you before I give the DL link hahaha.

Thank you!

Thank you all for your pledges last month 🧡 YOURE AMAZING.

Let me know if and how I can do better. I want to make sure I supply you with the knowledge and wisdom you deserve 😤

My inbox is always open and please be sure to utilise the discord community as well.

Organization - Projects & Samples!!

Check out how I sort my life out when it comes to samples and my projects. A little organizing can help efficiency and flow and WE ALL ABOUT THAT UP IN HERE. 

It's not ALL about making bleep bloops okay. You need to clean up your shit so that they have the space to bleep and bloop in the first place. 

New Video Tomorrow!!

Hello everyoneee, welcome to February. Hope you've had a great weekend!

Tomorrow is new upload day and its video week so this week I've decided to cover a topic that I feel is often overlooked and not talked about enough. 

ORGANISATION!!

I know what you're thinking... JP, get to the good shit. But this super sexy skill has helped my creative flow since I started taking it seriously years ago and I can't recommend it highly enou...

Useful songwriting resource

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share with you all some resources as I come across them/remember them that I found useful over time.

Todays instalment comes from the book of songwriting.

This was a completely overlooked subject and skill for me for a long time, but became super paramount to how I wrote music after I took the time to wise up to it. I like to look at production much more holistically now. There are many facets to music creation, and just because we may make tear ...

Welcome!!

Morning everyone!

Overnight we crossed over 200 patrons!! I just want to take a second to welcome everyone to the community and thank you all for being here. The goal of this page is to offer a resource and community that I wish I had when I was in the early days of my career. It’s so important to have peers and mentors to bounce off and grow with. So I’m hoping that you being part of this community is helpful to your own journey.

There’s plenty of content on the way and a...

Free DL - Without Me (Illenium Remix) (Blanke VIP Edit)

Its free download week!!

This week I've got another VIP that I made for my live shows. Always went absolutely crazy in my sets cos no one was expecting it to be as obnoxious as it is haha (I usually mixed the second drop into Control too, was a slapper lol).

Hope you guys enjoy and get inspiration or use out of it!

xx

Track walkthroughs!

Very keen to walk through and breakdown some of my releases in future vids

What would you guys be keen on seeing?!

Glitch Art - Foley Processing

BBZZZKT BEEP EERP

Lets learn how to make that shall we

This tutorial is centered around making glitches out of foley processing and how you can get some obnoxious and ridiculous noises with this technique. It's a hell of a lot of fun seeing what can come out of this cos really you just never know.

Experimentation encouraged.

Creativity who?

Merry weekend everybody! Hope you’re all doing well.

I’ve been feeling fairly unproductive creatively the past week or so. I know I’ve got lots to work toward but it’s hard because when I don’t feel like I’m in a super creative I don’t feel like the end result is going to be my absolute best that it needs to be. It’s kind of writers block?? but also just a weird self preservative rut I think. If I work, I’m scared I’ll fail.

I’m sure some of you in here can...

January Sample Pack!!

Kicks, Snares, Basses and Foley textures! 

Made up some fresh new kicks for you guys and included the kick and snare from my Pray Remix as a lil treat. 

I've also added a folder of foley sounds that I use, plus a little demo of a processed glass sound to show you what they can be. 

Happy creating! 

Sample day tomorrow!

Happy Monday/Sunday everyone!

Its the start of week 2 so tomorrow is mini sample pack day! 

Got a bunch of bass sounds ready for you!

What sorts of samples are you missing right now? 

Vocal Chops!

What's up, Good morning! 

It's tutorial week and todays upload is about Vocal Chops. How I go about them and my thoughts behind creating melodies with them, and of course a little bit of processing. 

I'll dive into my track Alchemy in this video. My methods here are what I would use for all cases of lead vocal chop melodies. This song came about fairly easily after some trial and error (i didnt try to force sounds into a place they didnt want to be in), so it's nice and ...

New Tutorials!

Happy New Year and welcome to the first week! That means its tutorial time, and tomorrow I'll be dropping a vid explaining how I put together my vocal chops, and to do that we will be diving into and deconstructing the chops in my song Alchemy! 

Got a few tutorial topics to record in mind. What kinda stuff do you guys wanna see most in the future?

Shockone - Follow Me (Blanke Remix)

As a lil New Years present, here is my new remix for ShockOnes tune Follow Me :)

Much love everyone. Go water your plants. 

Working on Live Set - Live Stream

Working on my set for NYE! *Unfortunately it has been taken down due to copyright which is fair but annoying. Sorry guys <3* 

Livestream this week - Set prep

Hey guys!

As December has 5 weeks in it this year, I wont be posting content tomorrow, I'll be waiting till the new year. BUT instead, I was thinking we could do a little livestream hangout where I put together a bit of my set for New Years Eve and you can have a look at how I might do it first hand. 

Think I will be doing it tomorrow afternoon Australia time (this time tomorrow, if not a couple hours earlier)

Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thank you all for being part of this community over this first month. Can’t wait to share a bunch more knowledge and fun stuff with you in 2021!

Wishing you all a safe and happy holidays :)

Free DL - Live Edit - Overthrow VIP

Whaaatttuupppp Patrons 

Today marks the last week of the month and that means free DL's and I've got somethin special to kick you guys off. Its my very exclusive Live Edit of my Overthrow Flip that I use in my sets. 

I've given this to literally nobody, not one soul. So I hope you guys enjoy this little piece of goodness. 

As this is the last week of the month I just want to say a huge thank you to every singe one of you for being part of this...

Mini Production Stream

Working on a tune for a bit, testing out livestreams in Patreon, thought I'd say hey!

Video idea - Set construction

So I just had a thought, would you guys find it useful if I did a video on how to put together a live DJ set? 

It'd be maybe a 2 part on how I approach actually choosing songs to put together in a playlist in rekordbox, and then one on putting it together in ableton for guest mixes and virtual sets.

Thoughts?!

Big Book NRG

Hey everyone! 

I'm a big fan of reading so I thought I'd share a book with you guys that I found super helpful. I've read it over 3 times I love it so much. It's called The Music Lesson by Victor Wooten, and its a more philosophical book rather than a technical one which I love. I got a whole lot of out it. From switching my perspective to how I think about music, to approaching it (or "her" as you'll read) differently, more gently and with a more open mind. It showed me how powerf...
