Let's play around with the Arturia Mini V, a software version of the legendary Moog Model D synthesizer.

I use this on almost all of my tracks, mostly for heavy bass sounds (like in the video!), but it does sparkly leads just as well, too! If you have enough patience, you could even approximate a clarinet sound. Maybe in another video?

What's your favorite synth VST? Let me know in the comments.

I remade the sound from the intro level of Mega Man X2!

One of the skills I gained in audio school was post-production sound design. Whether it's Foley sound or just replacing the originals, designing sound for film is a challenge in itself. Main thing: timing is everything.

Six years ago, for no reason other than for fun, I took a scene from one of my favorite Super Nintendo games and made the sounds less 16-bit. This was the result!

Let me know what you think of this - and maybe your fave video game soundtrack? - in the comments.

If you play guitar like I do, you've played a Fender Stratocaster. The body shape, which has been around for 70+ years, is ubiquitous; the shape is the quintessential electric guitar body shape, next to the Les Paul.
This week it became known that Fender served cease and desist notices to at least one builder that has a S-style body, and everyone is rightly surprised... And not in a good way.
What do you think? Will this upend the guitar industry as it's known now?

Let's go back to the mix guidelines I introduced and talk about compression before EQ.

Compression reduces a sound's dynamic range by boosting quiet parts and attenuating louder parts, effectively evening out the sound. This makes it easier to boost or cut frequencies when you EQ. Try it for yourself and listen to the result!

Happy Friday everyone! Today we're gonna be talking about compression; specifically, that no two comps are going to sound exactly alike; even two of the exact same can have differences.

I played a kick sample through some plugins that were set similarly; listen to the difference between each one and how it changes the sound and feel of the kick. For example, the EL-8X is gritty; the LA-2As sounded punchy. Which ones did you like? Let me know in the comments.

Plugins from: , , and Cockos (the devs that made Reaper).

Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you!

Today I'm talking about the sound of the lightsaber. Designed by Ben Burtt around 1976, he employed three elements to create the base sound which we know today.

Sound designers are some of the most creative minds in film, coming up with sounds in ways that don't always seem linear or obvious.

Watch to the end, and comment your favorite Star Wars film/character in the comments!

Use What You Have part 2 talks about stock plugins with your chosen DAW!

There are SO MANY plugins out there for you to buy, but some of the best ones are right under your nose!

Instead of getting caught up in buying a ton of plugins that you'll use once and then never again, take your time and check out the included plugins with your DAW. I use Reaper, so yours may look different, but the point remains!

What are your go-to stock plugins? Lemme know in the comments.

If you're pro genAI, and you use it in your creative endeavors, you should probably unfollow me now.

I firmly believe that it is robbing us of our ability to think creatively, let alone critically on other topics. Making art isn't just about putting your best foot forward; it's about the entire process that comes with it. GenAI takes all that away. You have the ability to make art as great - or as bad! - as you want it to be.

If you're an artist and you want human focused and human made production, mixing, mastering, and sound design, get in touch with me and let's figure something out. Without AI.

Today I'm starting something new: Use What You Have!

Episode number 1 features the venerable SM58, the most popular vocal mic of all time. It gets a lot of unnecessary flak, but it's been getting the job done for 60 years. If it's all you have in your microphone arsenal, that's ok! Use it!

Fun exercise: tell me about a time that you encountered a 58 at a venue. Chances are it was absolutely gross from years of use, but did it work?

Welcome! If you're new here, hi! I'm Omar, and I'm a producer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Let's talk about who I am and what I'm about!

I'm a producer, mix engineer, and musician. I have also worked with podcasts in the past to make them sound their best!

I go by a simple motto: You deserve good audio.

There will be much more posted here in the coming days, so keep it here and thank you for the support!
