Drum Patterns for Electronic Music

July 15th, 2014|

I love using my Launchpad Pro and Push 2 for step sequencing. Once you get the hang of it, it’s a fast way to lay down a new beat. The only problem when you are first starting is figuring out some basic patterns to play with. I made The Drum Pattern cheat sheet to help me draw out some quick drum patterns.  The idea was I wanted to print them off to have next to my push while jamming with friends as a reference. It really helped me get started.

Launchpad Mini Hacked For The Win!

July 14th, 2014|

I went over to my friend D'answers place the other day and ended up walking away with a new piece of gear. He showed me the Launchpad Mini. I already liked the look and size of it, but once he showed me the new script by Native Kontrols I was in! I know Native Kontrols from there Push Script and Clyphx.  Basically anything they create just blows my mind.  So I checked out their script for the Launchpad called LPC Live 2. Overview video of what you can do with the LPC Live 2. Just messing around with it, here is a video we made. Just some bro's messing with some toys. Now this script goes deep... Adds a whole new level to your production and live set possibilities. I have been loving it for Step Sequencing. I highly suggest grabbing this from Native Kontrols. If you're interested in the Step Sequencing check out my article on some Sequencing cheat sheets I made for laying down beats with the Launchpad Mini.

5 Tips for Fast and Furious Songwriting

July 10th, 2014|

To continue with this whole theme of Time Management, I want to dive into techniques in Ableton live for fast songwriting. These tips and tricks will help you stay creative, bust out songs, and feel confident in how you are spending your time. If you are not using Ableton Live or, what to read the article on taking your time, it will look at the bigger picture of how artists can better manage their time. 1. Good Old File Management Nothing says “I am an artist” like spending a day going through your files. Every successful musician I know is ruthlessly efficient with their sample library. We each have our own way of managing our files as well.  Here is what I do with my Sample Library: This example shows how my Drum Loops are separated from the genera.

6 Ways to Keep The Art Flowing

July 9th, 2014|

Time is a fickle thing. When it comes to our creativity, it is even more ethereal. If we spend too much time on a bass line, or a melody then we might not have enough to finish the track. Or working on the technical parts of the track might drain our inspiration and before we know it, we spent 3 hours on something and have nothing to show for it. Because of this I want to share techniques for a good workflow and keeping the creativity flowing. This article will go over techniques that can be used for any artist. Be it a painter, Ableton Live wizard, Logic Ninja, or writer. 1. Take a Step Back First Having a really clear vision of what you are doing and why will save you a lot of time. It’s important sometimes to take a whole day, or even a week, to sketch out in your mind what your goals are. You should know that if you are sitting to create if you are just working on techniques, or a series of works you hope to complete

Constantly Building the (aq) Composition Toolkit

July 8th, 2014|

A few weeks ago I released the (aq) Composition Toolkit. This Live Pack shows a collection of Arrangements and Compositions to help with songwriting. It is made to easily drag and drop in the track you are making. Easy and quick way to add inspiration to the writing process. Over the week I have been asked to add a few more tracks to the pack. I spent some time looking at more "alternative rock" tracks from artist like Radiohead, Tool, and Coldplay.  I then added there arrangements to the pack. The reason I bring this up is to show off a cool new feature of the new website design. Once and a while I will update a love pack. Either for my own improvement, request, or updating for new versions.  If you have ever ordered the live pack in the past you will be able to download the new version through logging into "my account". If you ordered the (aq) Composition Toolkit you can not download version 2 to add these 4 new arrangements to your repertoire.  I am so glad I have developed
