Despite not being a music maker myself, I am deeply enthralled by your ability to draw out music from your soul. I'm definitely sticking around for another decade!
Love those moments of noodling with a solo patch after you build a base vibe, I can get lost for an hour or more doing that before I snap back to reality
Hey Jon, I just wanted to tell you thanks for being you. I found your music when I was 16-18 and the song That’s Okay got me through a lot of tough times. If it wasn’t for you and my dreams of rapping, I wouldn’t have made it here today. You’re a blessing. I hope you see this. ❤
Thats dope! I just got my hand on iridium Core, and its a best! a bit intimidating with the whole bunch of possibilities but yeah I def dig it. Dope vid Franklin
Hey John, absolutely love your videos. Beat making process is well explained, and I respect the mix between structure and being free. You have a really mellow and warm presence, which makes me feel safe and at home. I too love making beats, music, audio in any form more or less just so it has heart. That said, I am in quite a contracting, lost and anxiety-inducing period in my wave of life currently.. I was in the 3D gaming industry for a while now, making money there, but are a bit sick of it to be frank. Music has been a humongous part in my life, from music school to having a band for 15 years, playing (with) multiple instruments, going to music production course and all in between. Lately I have been trying myself in just producing and composing music, and a little later than that making some beats that flow quite easy from me. Idea-wise, mastering I still need more experience. I am writing all of this to ask you.. do you have any advice on how to earn a living making music, while trying not lose your soul in the process? Where could I go with my skillset or just music/film composing/soundtracks/beats in particular, and how to get my head above the hyper-saturated market... Basically where to start? 😕 Sorry for the long comment and thank you for your time man.
Yup, using the DSi Tempest, Waldorf Quantum mk2, virus TI2 and prophet 10 is my shit. Basically I limited myself to 4 instruments and said stop you mad man haha..
Are these based off of presets from the Waldorf Iridium or are these sounds all patches you’ve made from scratch? Love seeing the process as always, Thank you Jon!
