Raw (no narration) studio session laying down some synths + bass over a beat - in the style of some late 90s atmos drum n bass. All the synth sounds from my Korg Trinity V3 Pro, one of the GOATS.
These can be a lot to watch through - but the main thing I want to get across is making music can be difficult. We don't always know where we're going exactly. Experiment, try many things fast, and try to create consistency

Using the Korg 01R/W to show you how you can design custom 90s ambient pads with any rompler. The concept involves taking an existing pad sound you like - and showing you key parameters you can modify to have a big impact on the sound. Enjoy!

Raw (no narration) studio session laying down some synths + bass over a beat - in the style of PFM. All synth sounds from the JD-990, and some outboard FX (Quadraverb / Zoomstudio.) The JD-990 crashed near the end as I was honing in on a decent lead sound (needs a new battery, thankfully nothing serious)

Raw (no narration) over the shoulder style production session where I begin creating a 165 BPM techy / atmospheric drum & bass tune in the style of KMC - from scratch. Big focus on atmosphere building in this one with Korg M1 for a lot of FX.

Learn how to recreate an effect similar to the Korg Trinity / Tritons "St. Random Filter" using Bitwig's native Filter, Filter Freak 1, and Filter Freak 2. A heavenly effect for 90s sounding sci-fi pads.

A cheap 90s FX module is a great way to dip your toes into outboard gear & get a great texture / tone on your ITB productions. Let's take a look at the Zoomstudio 1201 from 1997 as an example.

Compilation CD's rule. It's a great way to get multiple bangin tunes in one shot. I know what you're thinking: you still buy physical CD's in 2024? Hell yeah. Buy the CD once, rip it to your hard-drive, and you have a library of rare music you don't need to pay to access going forward. But that's a story for another time: presenting my top 5 atmospheric drum n bass compilation cd's from the late 90s / early 00s (as of today at least...)

Little bit of a new year ramble (and tutorial) on how valuable it can be to analyze your favorite songs. This is an exercise I try to do often, and a process I also use to learn how to produce in sub-genres / styles I'm not 100% familiar with (ALA: a lot of the "make music like" series) In my opinion it flexes a different part of your brain - and only contributes to becoming a better producer. What do you think?
