Nearing 40 (songs) meant a special moment.  So here are my top 'mastered @ home' songs.  They are the Launchpad numbers I think I did okay with.  When I first started out, my personal favourites were 8, 13, 17, 35 and of course 40.4.  But as the journey continues, I'll let you guys be the judge!  A big thank you must go out to my man STUBZEE!  Off the back of his wonderful advice I will continue to tidy up what I think are my best songs.  The preference would have been to get someone like STUBZEE to put his midas touch on them.  In his absence though, Soundcloud's 'in app' Dolby mastering service will hopefully continue to do the trick.

The Launchpad Sessions (Mastered @ Home)

The Launchpad Sessions

I started out on this 'Launchpad' journey not really knowing where it would take me.  280+ songs later I'm still not sure.  What I do know is it's been a learning curve, an education of sorts, on how to put together a song that hopefully sounds okay.  So here's a selection of the songs that I think (hope) have hit the mark.  Let me know your thoughts.

The Launchpad Sessions: The Best Of (So Far ...)

Launchpad Session 40.4 (This Is It!)

Every time I 'go back in time' and have a listen to some of my earlier attempts at making songs, I'm always drawn to Launchpad Session 01.  I've been meaning to rework my first ever foray into the wonderful world of Launchpad for a while now.  That opportunity occurred over the weekend just gone.  So here's my 'post COVID-19 update' of one of many personal favourites!  I hope you enjoy!!

Launchpad Session 01 (Post COVID-19 Update)

Third crack at the iPhone version of Launchpad.  I love this app but here's to all of the producer's out there who labour over a bassline or a kick drum for days.  Thank you for making the process of making music so much easier for those of us with less know how!

Launchpad Session 05 (A Song For Mum)

Launchpad Session 06

Like his Mum, he probably won't like the song I made for him either!

Launchpad Session 08 (A Song For Acer)

After having a crack a putting together a song for the 'birthday boy' from a couple of weeks back and being told 'she's a bit of a growler', here's attempt two.  I believe this one's a little more in tune with the 'old boy' but Adam, you be the judge!  Ha ha ...

Launchpad Session 17 (Another Song For Adam)

Produced by none other than Felix, I think the Elf On The Shelf might just have me!  Slow, funky and perfect for those cold winter nights up there in the North Pole.  Damn you Felix ... damn YOU!

Launchpad Session 29 (A Song For Acer & Maya By Felix, The Elf On The Shelf)

Another new sound pack means another new song!

Launchpad Session 35

Where the sky is blue and the clouds are white!
