I'm currently sitting on several thousand dollars of recording and mastering software, along with a shit ton of virtual synthesizers and virtual guitars (no, I don't actually play a real guitar, or a bass for that matter - diabetic neuropathy has all but robbed me of the dexterity to handle them; but I can scoot a mouse and draw lines and, while my body has basically gone to shit, my mind still works. I still have the knowledge to write music. I feel a lot like Stephen Hawking in that respect).

Anyhoo, to answer your question: Logic Pro X for Mac.

For the guitars, I use Native Instruments Vintage, Electric Mint, Electric Sunburst, Acoustic+Nylon Picked and Acoustic Strummed.

I use EZBass for my bass tracks and Native Instrument Acoustic Bass.

For the synthesizers, I have (virtual) an Arp 2600, Moog Mini and Modular V, Synthi V, Buchla Easel, Fairlight CMI from Arturia.

25 years ago, had I developed Diabetes and the associated neuropathy that robbed me of the ability to play bass and guitar, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you right now as I would have pretty much unalived myself as life would have been unbearable at that point.

Thankfully, I now have the technology to keep my hand in the music game.

And how bad is my diabetes? Upon diagnosis my A1C was 11.5 and I was coming down off a 500+ point glucose level. It's amazing I didn't lapse into a diabetic coma.

And how bad is my neuropathy?

I can barely write my name, filling out forms is a chore. I have to have someone do that for me.

My balance is nearly fucked as I have difficulty standing and/or walking. Riding a bike or a motorcycle is out of the question.

It has affected my vision.

My feet are in constant pain, especially my left foot that feels like stepping on broken glass all the time, and did I mention my fingers don't work anymore?

Basically, having been dealt a shitty hand, I didn't give up - I fought back.

Known for her diverse style of writing. Dani makes her musical home in the Country genre, but she isn't scared to wander outside the lines. From powerful, anthemic ballads that show her vulnerable and empathetic heart, or some good classic rock vibes, to feel-good pop hits - all while being sure to remind her audience of her clever wit and humour with many of her sassy, tongue-in-cheek songs.

As a producer/songwriter, I'm always thriving for the balance between danceability and musical-complexity.

If you hear something you like, I would love to have you onboard in my music production journey!

Thanks for checking me out!

Yogi on the Bodhisattva path at Clear Sky Center. Chef. Project Manager. Ecstatic DJ & Dancer. Business coach. Grateful to live in the mountains of Southeastern BC, Canada, on traditional Ktunaxa lands.

Here to curate and share yummy beats that integrate mind-body and elevate your state of consciousness, through ecstatic dance and other forms of conscious, high vibe movement <3

DJ Dancin' Dave's musical style is influenced by over a decade of classical training and a BA in Music. This background leads him to curate musical journeys that cross a wide spectrum of genre and tempo, with a focus on melodic bass, etheric and entheogenic atmospheres, and a juicy blend of soulful melodies, harmonies and musical texture. Think tribal dubs, shamanic bass, angelic and high vibe vocals with folktronic and jazzy roots, west coast ambient & psychedelic layers blended with UK minimal garage & bass and frequent global fusions featuring instruments from around the world. And of course the odd punch of grimy, dripping bass in all the right places.

His 2023–24 "Zodiac Mixtape Series" features a dozen musical journeys to connect with each of the 12 astrological archetypes.

Hello. 

I'm learning music by myself, and appreciate online music teachers such as those who contribute to Pianote.

Working on a musical comedy.

Yeah, it's embarrassing to have such undeveloped skills.

On the other hand...I like these tunes and it beats drinking in the bar. 

So who cares?

Music is reverse-engineered dance.

Rhythm and movement and the space between yes and no, here and not here, tone and next tone.
