Hey, everyone.

It's time for another video. It's another MPC joint and I'm starting to really get a feel for the workflow. Some people are going to ask me whether I like this or the Octatrack more and as of right now I'd have to say they're both better at certain things. MPC fails where the OT succeeds for me, which is editing. Editing of all kinds. Sequences, slices, you name it. It's easier to get going on an MPC but the backend of the production experience is a little frustrating. I wish I could just duct tape them together.

As always, the audio is above and the YouTube and Original live sessions are below. Thanks so much for your support, as always. We have a lot of big things planned on the horizon so be on the lookout for that.

P.S. Don't think I forgot that we didn't upload a track last week. Working on a drop that will make everyone happy very soon!

The straw that broke the camel's back man, been watching the videos on youtube forever but when I saw this one pop up an hour ago I knew I needed to sub to the Patreon to hear it finished.

I love this one. Definitely my kind of vibe! Do you have any advice on how to keep coming up with smooth sounding chords and melodies on the synth/keyboard? How did you learn that?

Ah wicked! I actually do a radio show in the UK which is being broadcast tomorrow night, and I play one of your tracks and have a little bit of conversation about your background, I’ll send you the link if you’re interested? Love your work man, it really sits with me well, truly grateful! Peace! Waxer

I have very little music theory knowledge. Just enough to show up to the studio and keep trying new things. I would say instead of trying to play, just focus on listening. As a listener you know what's good and not good and as a player you don't know what the listener will like.
