Yesterday I was hanging out with Combustible Lemonade - and we started a livestream.
It has turned into a more-than-3-hour party with people who came in to ask questions, hang out and say hi.
Have you ever wondered how the heck do other producers release so polished and well-sounding tracks, while you struggle to make anything that sounds half-decent?
Well this video probably won't ...
I was asked to master a track. In this video you'll see how I did that.
Here's the final release: https://youtu.be/p-CHTSHggVU

Yay, another milestone!
I've uploaded my album "Suppressed" to Soundcloud finally.
This event was a good opportunity to do it.
Enjoy the music :)

As you may know from the previous post. I wanted to do something beautiful and animated to put my album "Suppressed" on YouTube.
So I decided to do two things:

I initially wanted to release this in December 2017. However it turned out I can't do it so fast. I didn't want to just concatenate all tracks of the album, add a static cover art and slap it on YouTu...

Here's some information about what I'm currently up to, and what are my plans for near future.
This is a super quick video with no editing. Now I'm getting back to editing other videos :)
Here's a quickly done (only one evening, yay!) rambly video.
I wanted to talk about problems that I've encountered while working with MIDI sequencing in Ardour 5.12.
I also talk about ot...
In this video I take apart a recent project that I've made.

Many people ask me what should they learn - Ardour or LMMS?
As I was stuck in a traffic jam I decided to use that time to tell you about that. I have many years of experience working with both prog...
Here's what I've been working on today.
I guess the vocal "synth" is worth a separate video tutorial.
Once I made that I made the kick sound very psychedelic aswell.

I've made a track today. I wanted to make a theme song for the upcoming Ardour Guide video series, but it turned out to be unsuitable...

In this video I make a chilled EDM track, synthesizing all sounds with ZynAddSubFX as I go (which is the usual way I work with electronic music).

Here's a super quick one for you. I've been making this fro two evenings.
I might be in trouble doing so with Ardour 6, which is unstable and said to break existing projects.
But it you'll p...

I've been listening to a lot of Skrillex today, I felt inspired to try out some ideas I got off of that.
And here's what I've created during the evening with Zyn-Fusion and Ardour 6.

If you know me, you know ZynAddSubFX is my favorite software synthesizer. I have made entire albums with only it. It's the most powerful open-source synthesizer in existance - and also I believe - one...

When I was done with the capture I was pretty happy with the result.
Then I started editing and I realised - I have only captured audio from the microphone, no sound from Ardour was recorded.
