My music | Things

History

I’m making music with all kinds of software since school (the first music tool I used at the time was Music 2000, also called MTV Music Generator in the U.S.
The first professional DAW I used was FL Studio, then later I tried moving to other DAWs to compare:

I tried Cubase, but I didn’t liked the interface, everything seemed overly complex,
I tried Logic, but it’s for Mac only, and reminded me a little of Cubase (but the included instruments and effects were great!),
I tried Reason, and I loved the modular rack system, but the sequencer not so much,
I tried Ableton Live, because it seemed like “the most used DAW by EDM professionals”, …and after numerous attempts I gave up,
…because everytime, I go back to FL Studio 😄 Well it’s difficult changing habits…

So yeah, I did a few music tracks, a lot of them lost with hard-drive wiping accidents.

Around early 2013, I decided to upload my tracks on SoundCloud, and I was frequently releasing until the end of the same year, when I needed to focus more on university.
Since then, I was not really producing anymore, but I watched videos, tutorials, articles on music production, and of course I need to listen to music at least half an hour a day 🎶!
Now, I want to go back into music making, particularily in the sound design field, I’m mesmerized by audio synthesis and I want to create my own software synthesizer one day.

My music hardware

I don’t have that much hardware to make music, but I have at least that:

A first-gen AKAI MPK Mini
A first-gen Novation Launchpad
A Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2
A Yamaha PSR-E313, not really portable but fun to play with
A Teenage Engineering PO-33 K.O!
…and my beefy desktop computer! (with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and 32GB of RAM)
