Apr 05, 2024 Music-Video
I'm rolling into the darkness. I tried out a new mix where I slowly transition from bassline rollers to deeper tracks. Maybe I didn't quite nail it, but I had fun.
DSEQ-3 Underrated and Versatile #
Apr 04, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I discuss the EQ Three by TP Pro audio, emphasizing that it is often overlooked due to the lack of advertisements or sponsored videos. I demonstrate various ways to use the EQ, such as as a track spacer or a spectral gate. Additionally, I explain how it can be utilized as a "magic cue" or an analyzer for comparing frequency distributions between tracks.
XO Drum Machine and Clean Bass Sounds with Wave Tables in Bitwig #
Apr 01, 2024 Tutorial
In the video, I demonstrated how to set up an XO preset in Bitwig Studio to avoid muting and unmuting the return channel. By muting the individual buses and leaving the master channel untouched, you can hear the preview of samples without any audio leakage. Additionally, I showed how to create a mono bass sound using the Serum wave table editor, removing the fundamental and replacing it with a stable mono sine wave, while still maintaining a stereo spread on top.

Mar 29, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I showcase the Schwerkraftmaschine Compressor by Tegeler, a Berlin company, which I received for a 14-day trial period. I demonstrate how the hardware compressor affects drum breaks, recording and speeding them up to create drum and bass break beats, and discuss the various settings and modes available on the device. While I find the compressor to be expensive, I appreciate the analog sound it adds to the drums, although I will likely have to return it due to the cost.

Chill Out and Ambient Loop from Scratch in Bitwig #
Mar 27, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I take you through the process of building a sound in Bitwig Studio. Starting with a grid, I create a pattern using a sine oscillator, shape the volume with an envelope, and quantize the notes to a scale. I also add voice stacking, effects, and layer different elements to create a complete composition.

Mar 25, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I discuss Visco, a new drum sampler that was released five days ago. It is a unique drum sampler that divides the samples into the spectral domain and allows for morphing and twisting using modifiers. This tool is perfect for sound design and specifically designed for percussive sounds.
Drum & Bass for Old People - Drum and Bass Mixtape #
Mar 23, 2024 Music-Video
I popped in today to cook up a headbanging drum and bass mix. Hope you guys like it. But mainly, I made it for myself and my daily walks. I tried again to mix the styles and get those long transitions right. Think one transition was a bit off, but who cares? Drop a comment with wishes, ideas, or critiques.
