I recently snagged a MASSIVE 48 input rackmount line mixer for my studio desk. The Roland M-480. I’ve got all my samplers, synths, sound modules, and drum machines plugged into it so I don’t have to constantly hook everything up all the time. It’s got a super warm 90’s sound ...

I’ve had the Poly Evolver since 2014 and honestly have always been unhappy with the lack of tutorials on it. It’s a fantastic synthesizer and super unique in many ways. It can be used as a 4 oscillator hybrid synth, having two analog and two digital oscillators. Or it can ...

Nothing crazy here. I just got bored of looking at the boring black and white layout of the Poly Evolver Wave Shape Chart (not sure who’s the original creator). It’s got a dark theme with muted neon colors, which seems to be a theme in my life lol Enjoy! PDF ...

  Hardware synthesizers: Elektron Digitone – the simple fact that it’s sitting on my desk, just to the right of my computer keyboard staring me in the face forces me to make sounds in it. While I use my VSTs to make sounds all the time, and technically they’re more ...

I’ve heard of some confusion on how to sync the Roland TR-8S with their computer- when should I use USB audio? Why is the timing off when I use MIDI sync over USB? How can I tighten up the timing when recording my drum tracks? In this video I’ve addressed ...

Ok, so I had a frustrating past few weeks trying to figure this one out. I’m currently using two PC’s- one to game and one to stream. I have three monitors and using two mouse and keyboards was becoming a huge pain in the ass. I tried a few mouse/keyboard ...

*Note* I have since upgraded to Reason 11 and it’s fantastic. It’s completely changed my workflow for the better and made getting fresh, original sounds way, way easier. This tutorial is still relevant however if you’re running older versions of Reason. Upon upgrading to Ableton 10, I realized that ReWire ...

So I scored a Yamaha SU700 from an original owner who bought it in 1999 and had it kept in his garage covered, using it a handful of times between now (2016) and then. It’s pretty much mint condition, except for the encoders. If you’re not familiar with this unit, it’s one ...
