Synplant 2 is the most incredible thing Iโve ever seen. It opens up accessibility like no other. This is going to force a huge change in music imo. Itโs going to shift peopleโs focus into songwriting far more. Anyone can now have access to more or less any sound(within reason)
Something you should consider when mixing is the neo-phasing that can occur under midi integration. Most soft synths come with a built in unison chamber (mostly particle based as far as Iโm aware) so bare that in mind. Iโd generally recommend you opt for a cyclical routing system
Itโs not that complex. With the rise of synthesised and computer music, everything is perfectly in key. So any inconsistency in a vocal is noticeable. So you record with tuning on, and singing into tuning requires a certain level of experience to have it sound the way you like.
Still the MADDEST thing that this happened. Big love

for making a tune with one of my demos ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป stems are in ur hands boysssss ๐๐ป๐๐ป
might be unpopular but i have kinda stopped taking advice entirely when it comes to my songs. 90% of the time it's 'constructive criticism' from people's who's music does nothing for me
The pressure u put on yourself as someone who values creating unique music that sets you apart is insane. There is no bone in my body that feels comfortable making something that doesnโt feel like it stands out. However you trap yourself in this echo chamber of โnot cool enoughโ
Opinion. Things like rekordboxing and organising/planning sets, making sample packs, exporting stems etc, tasks and jobs in the industry that arenโt the most enjoyable parts are JUST as mentally exhausting as any regular job and leave you just as tired
Into the Unknown, our third studio album is out August 16. US Tour this Fall. Pre-sale live tomorrow at 10AM Local. On-sale Friday at 10AM Local. We canโt wait to show you all what weโve been up to. Sign up below๐บ๐ธ

If anyone ever feels like things arenโt moving just know, I have a record deal, am doing music full time but currently live at home with my parents and am struggling to make ends meet. This shit is HARD so be proud of your progress so far
Having a dip in confidence lately. Hugely doubting my ability and place in the music scene. I know we all feel like this at times so letโs make sure we donโt bottle it up!
so so sad to hear about the passing of Akira Complex. We hadnโt spoken in many many years, but I remember back in the soundcloud days being in a big producer fb group, where theyโd share big dropbox folders of samples and plugins with me, and weโd chat passionately about music.
My debut EP โLove Discโ is out June 23rd via

โค๏ธ Iโm so excited for you to hear all the heart that went into this record.
I want to do a live show. Have felt this for a long time. DJing is great but I feel disconnected from it at times. A lot of my music isnโt built for it. A lot of times Iโll be asked for an extended mix and think โwhy?โ. I really want to build a world where I can be ME on stage
Weโre starting something big with these tunes. Thereโs a new scene thatโs forming gradually where people are letting go of their fear of being corny or extra and weโre just making pretty tunes. Promise you
Those outside the industry just donโt understand that a good artist isnโt just about perfect vox. you expect someone to be able to record on a 100% in tune production and not notice the inconsistency of a human voice? So dumb. Being a singer is about so much more than that
i really urge any of u producers to deep dive Stevie Wonder's catalog. Genuinely so creative and inspiring. Hugely overlooked as a basis of inspiration for dance music
I promise you, we could make so much fucking electronic music better with just a bit of pitch automation, filtering and vibrato on those stale ass leads
Tell u what I canโt stand about this industry. The need to keep moving and constantly be releasing art for your name to still be part of conversations. At least as a small artist. When youโre not sure where you want to go it is the most frustrating thing
Over use your fx. The elements in the forefront of your mix can be as clean as you like but youโll never get the rich textures you want without if you donโt experiment
I would also like to add that itโs in such poor taste to reprimand someone for sampling/remixing a song by an artist whoโs music is held up and given life by sampling. You think burial would fuck with you more because you gatekeep his music? Heโd fucking hate you
I will say, no matter how pretty and listener focused my music is and will likely continue to be, I guarantee my dj sets are very very club focused ๐
And also, when recording into tuning, you arenโt hearing your raw vocal. Youโre only hearing the effect the software has on it, so you adjust accordingly to what comes out of the software. And surprise, sometimes the raw vocal doesnโt sound perfect as a result.
having lived with this man for 6 months i know first hand how hard he works and how seriously he takes the mission statement of his music. Makes me so fucking happy seeing him pursue music he's so passionate about. 2023 is healer season, no doubt in my mind. love u boo
i normally only have one or 2 tunes ready to release. i have like 14 tunessss iโm ready to drop next year which issss insane to me. ive found a real passion with this sound and world. i call them healers. itโs about being outdoors. iโm so gassed. ๐ด๐ผโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธโบ๏ธ๐ณ๐๐
Leaving Brooklyn today. Sad day. Itโs insane to me that I have met my person and feels like the distance is a challenge weโve been given to prove how much of a gift our relationship is. Shoutout anyone dealing with long distance. U can probably also attest that itโs worth it โค๏ธ
Itโs actually positive. Anyone can achieve even the simplest and effective the sounds that people gatekeep. Itโs going to be good for the industry. Everyoneโs gonna have to get so much more creative to stay unique

as part of the
@chaseandstatus
takeover. Mind blowing. I canโt WAIT. I used to sit and rinse eastern jam and no problem in my bedroom all day so this is some bucket list shit for me
I swear to god everyone just sits and spends more time complaining about other peopleโs careers instead of making music. The more time you spend being bitter about things that have no bearing on your life the less music you create and the less effort you put into your own career
Loving my simple life right now. I wake up, drink coffee, write a song, make music for other things, go for a walk, chill, sleep. Repeat the same thing. Enjoying the routine
