You've got fifty synth plugins installed, three thousand presets, and somehow your techno track still sounds thin. Meanwhile, you hear legends talk about classic tracks made with a single 808 or 909, and wonder how they created such depth from so lit...
You've been working on that house track for three hours. The groove is tight, the bass is pumping, and you've just added a filter sweep that makes everything gel perfectly. Then you decide to 'improve' it. Twenty minutes later, you're staring at a li...
You know that moment when you're walking to the coffee shop and a bassline just *appears* in your head? Or when you're lying in bed and suddenly hear the perfect pad progression? You mentally bookmark it, telling yourself you'll remember it when you ...
