Making some trailer music with my good friend, composer extraordinaire Douglas Clay. I played the guitars and drums and he handled the piano and orchestra.  Sweet!

An old mashup I did many years ago, but still really cool! This is Tone-Loc's "Funky Cold Medina" versus Kraftwerk's "The Model". Obviously, I call this mashup, Funky Cold Model. LOL Enjoy!

Boomtown Glitch Hop Mix 2014

I often find that inexperienced producers try to make their song sound as loud as possible before they’ve produced a solid mix. But in their defense, it’s difficult to imagine how your song will sound once its mixed and then mastered. So, the instinct is to try and make it sound like the finished product before it’s even mixed.

Just remember this, go for a good clean mix with nicely balanced frequencies and levels and trust that the loudness will come when it’s mastered. In fact, here’s a perfect example of how a song can evolve from the demo (the first 8 bars in the example below), to the final mix (the next 8 bars), and then the master (the last 8 bars). I signed this song, “Funky Jellybeans”, to my label (Synchronized Music) as a demo. Then I mixed it directly in Reason using the artist’s (Soniferous) original session file. After we were happy with the mix, I mastered it in Pro Tools using the Waves Mastering plug-ins. You can hear how the mix goes from loud but muddy, to quite but clear, and then loud and clear. In the SoundCloud thumbnail you can even see the song's waveform evolve in the three versions (from top to bottom, demo, mix, and master).

Having some fun jamming with Linn Drum sounds and my Moog synth. Linn + Moog = Love :)

Finally got the Korg DW8000 working. It sounds amazing. Combined it with my Moog Sub37 for a bit of 80s inspired soundtrack music. 

DW8000 Meets Sub37

Inspired by John Carpenter’s classic horror movie soundtracks and the 80s inspired soundtrack of Stranger Things. I used a combination of vintage 80s sound modules by Korg, Roland, Kurzweil and Waldorf, with additional synths and samplers from Propellerhead’s Reason, and composed and mixed everything in Ableton Live.
