Let’s Write A Banger 14 – Hardware Obsessive – Part 1

Feb 2, 2022

I've finally bit the bullet and stepped over to the dark side. I've got my first hardware synth (a DFAM) and well, I feel like I better put it to some use! I don't have a way to sync it with Ableton yet but I'm sure we can make something work! Exciting times.

Let’s Mix A Banger 13 – Little By Little – Part 5

Jan 26, 2022

Last session we got this one arranged up and tweaked things a bit. Then we added in some FX to keep the transitions interesting. Now it's on to the mix down. There's quite a lot going on with this one so it will be interesting to see how we can make it all fit together nicely.

Considering The Key

Dec 3, 2021

Something to always be considering somewhere in your mind when writing a song is the key that you are in. I don't think it's as simple a rule as 'never play a note outside of that key' but it's something you want to be considering when the melodic elements don't all sit quite right together.
