Using Oblivion Labs Serum Pack To Make A 90's Jungle Track

Just a quick one from me this eve. If anyone is on the hunt for some amazing 90's themed Jungle patches, these actually go pretty hard!

It can be quite difficult with synths like serum to get that old school sound so I was really impressed by Jonathan's work on this pack. Definitly a good idea to dive in and see how he...

Artist Breakdown 2025! 🥷🌴

These artist breakdowns are always a blast & are totally worth it as I always learn so much myself from making them. We've now covered Photek, LTJ Bukem, Paradox, Source Direct & Dillinja & Lemon D.

Personally, I am still in love with the 90's style so would always lean towards artists from that period. Even...

I've also updated this PDF now to include all the my most important drum techniques in blog form. https://www.patreon....

All My Drum Techniques PDF 📕

This is just a bit of housekeeping to have all of these notes in one PDF for easy access. I have another blog post to do next week and then we've pretty much wrapped on all the most important drum techniques! 🥁

I'm going to steadily work through instruments and bass etc with these blog posts each month so we can buil...

Filters Have Evolved (Classic Techniques and Introducing Filterverse VST)

Just before Christmas, Polyverse very kindly sent me over a copy of their new plugin Filterverse. I've had a few weeks to play with it now and it's certainly a lot of fun, super creative and actually pretty straightforwards to use.

I didn't say this in the video as I was just doing a brief overview of the features but...

The Big man approves!

Did a little 'get in there son' and a jump in the air when Photek sent me this message yesterday. 🤜

That video was a real turning point for me in so many ways and really kickstarted the feeling that I could make something out of this whole YouTube thing.

Wowza this turned out to be a massive project in the end.

The Ultimate Hybrid Workflow? Digitakt MK2 vs Renoise

This video idea & the Renoise/Digitakt mk2 template had so much potential that I just had to get the project out. The crashes and problems with overbridge nearly proved too much for me and then by some miracle it worked flawlessly on my final attempt. 🙏

The Digitakt Mk2, despite it's faults in a lack of manual sl...

Planet Jungle and Black Friday Deals 🪐🌴

Hello everyone :) I can't believe it's nearly Christmas again!🎄

Black Friday is a term that originated in the US which marks the start of the holiday shopping season. Really it's just a way for plugin and software companies to entice us with 'once in a lifetime' deals to make us part with our hard earned cash. 💵 2024-11-29 17:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Mastering the Keyboard Workflow in Renoise

I may have gone a little too deep (judging by the views) showing every single hotkey I use in Renoise but at least its out there!

Probably the most useful part of this video, if people want to quickly pick something up is at 18:30 when I go over the three main ways to edit in Renoise. Also SuperNudge of course :)

If anyone has any suggestions, please add to the comments and I can include them in future polls.

Creating Pads and Space FX with Amigo Beta & Free Plugins

I ran out of steam a little on this series with the crazy amount of time I spent on the animations in the first half. Rather than scrap all my hard work, I thought I would just show my favourite two techniques from the project.

We've also discussed a ...
