A few weeks ago I switched from using a Native Instrument's Maschine to the ATOM by PreSonus to do all of my drum recording inside of Studio One.

Before this, I had been using the Maschine for 8 years or so and I think it's a wonderful piece of gear but the ATOM for me integrates flawlessly into...

I think it's fair to say that programming guitar with MIDI is probably one of the hardest things to make sound natural. Most of the time when I'm recording guitar I will opt to record with an actual instrument simply because of how much better it sounds to me but I also understand that might not...

Last week I announced how I set a challenge for myself for April to make and post 1 beat a day to my Instagram. For the rest of the month, I also want to take the most voted beat from each week and break it down in a video the following week.

Last week you guys voted for the Victoria...

If you've been following me for a while then I'm sure you know that I love to make beats by playing in my notes in using physical hardware. I don't often click things in but I am using that technique more and I have to admit that sometimes working purely inside of a DAW is much faster,...

The pack is primarily an 808 sample pack but it also comes with...

If you've been following me for a while then you know that I love to make beats using physical equipment. There is nothing wrong with clicking your notes in if that's your thing, but I grew up playing instruments so being able to incorporate some of those tactical characteristics into my beat...

A big part of being a producer and a creative individual, in general, is occasionally getting stuck in your creative process. For us, in the producer community, we often refer to this as beat block and it can be frustrating, especially when you want to be creative but can’t seem to be able...

Being a producer is so much more than just making beats. There are so many other things that we have to be really good and the only way to be effective while balancing all that we do, in my opinion, is by staying organized.

There are many different ways to stay organized as a producer but one of...

The start of a new year is always am interesting time because although nothing has really changed, it gives an opportunity to mentally reset and allows us to re-align ourselves with what we want to achieve in our lives.

With that being said today I want to tell you about 3 tips that when applied...

Nexus 3, the long-awaited update to the very popular VST FINALLY dropped last Friday. If you've been producing for a bit then chances are that you've heard of Nexus because for a while it was the go-to VST for most electronic and urban producers.

Now although reFX, Nexus' parent company, has...

It's that time of the year again and if you're like me then you've been waiting for this all year long because this is the time when most of us can stock up some of those new music toys that we've been eyeing at some discounted prices. Every year I do a roundup of some of the best and some of my...
