I only had one friend in high school who also loved Daft Punk. It's hard to imagine but at one point Daft Punk were relatively obscure to most people besides One More Time. Their success is a testament to the long game

I love it when I shelve a track for half a decade and come back to it with newfound knowledge, and execute it how it was actually meant to sound.

Daft Punk changed my life and I love them. At the same time, them breaking up is neither a surprise nor a disappointment. Some people are constantly trying to advance their craft, and some people explode, change the world then sit back. They are the latter

All DAWs summarized
FLStudio: great for electronic music, terrible for everything else
Ableton: gets the job done but inefficiently coded
Reaper: no music just menu diving
Cubase: we get it, you’re old
Logic: we get it, you’re old and rich
Pro tools: we get it, you hate DAWs

One thing that doesn't get talked about enough in music production is ways to pre-blur transients. It's a great way to make things gel together and sound organic. When all your transients are on the grid it can sound robotic and stale. Here are my favourite ways of doing this:

You can be the most skilled, respected pioneer of what you do but if you don’t have a type A personality then you’re going to watch people with a ton of charisma and energy zoom past you, and the trick to succeeding without trying to be something youre not is to be ok with that

If you want to improve your mixdowns/sound design, learn about some art concepts like focal points, edge control, warm vs cold, atmospheric depth etc. I believe the way you hear is connected to the way you see

I put out quite a lot of music in the last 10 years in a bunch of different styles, and for the most part it's all been received relatively well. I can't thank you enough for supporting my music regardless of genre, it's a privilege most fans don't give to their artists

People think good music or good mixdowns are subjective, and that may be true, but I hear things that are consistent in good mixes, and bad ones. I’m pretty close to being able to put my thoughts about this in a series of 10 minute videos

Here’s an idea: a streaming platform that is 100% run by artists. Listeners can subscribe for $10 per month as standard, but that $10 gets divided equally amount all the artists that person listened to that month. So if they listened to 1 track that month, that artist gets $10

AI won't make better music than people but it will destroy the way we perceive and value art to the point where it doesn't matter. We're entering a future where art and music for their own sake will be perceived as selfish hedonism, and that's what will kill art, not AI itself

Zionism doesn't represent judaism and never has. When Israel was formed, the zionists that were already there didn't accept jewish refugees with open arms, they threw rocks at them. My dad was one of those immigrants. Zionists are just bullies and always have been.
This is how Israel treats Anti-Zionist Jews in Jerusalem who wave the Palestinian flag.

I'm working on a project manager for Ableton that lets you:
- Clean up your project
- Find specific devices, tracks and clips by name
- Color all tracks in various ways
- Do a bunch of operations on all the clips and tracks in your project
Anything you'd like me to add?

You can make your chord sequences more interesting by
- not starting on the root chord
- having your chords in different lengths and rhythms
- using different root notes
- not just using major and minor keys
- copying the breakdown from one more time over and over
