I’ve been a Pro Tools user for about 25 years. In all sincerity what am I missing by not using Cubase?

I've heard some people try to make this notion that every musician needs to be live performers and if they don't, then they're not truly musicians. I make music myself, but I don't like nor want to be a music performer in front of people at live time. I'm not up to that, and I'm not going to pretend to be about that life. It takes a lot of time, effort, skills, practice and dedication to do that stuff, but I don't see it as the end all-be all to music. Just because you can show how fast you are on the guitar or piano doesn't make you a better musician. I feel doing covers is fine and all, but not a thing you HAVE to know as a musician. I've seen so many covers of many songs but then I go on their channels and their music sounds like the people they keep covering or it all sounds boring. I know a lot of people are amazed by that stuff, but I've grown to not be so awestruck at a bunch of covers and live performances just because they're doing it. There's more to music than just copying other people's music for fun or showing how fast your fingers are on a piano or how quick you can hit a drum. I see this poor way of thinking not that much different than people thinking martial artists have to automatically get into the ring and fight people just because they train in fighting styles. Not everyone should be combat sports fighters. Just because a highly trained martial artist that doesn't compete in fighting, that doesn't mean he or she can't rough up somebody for real. Just like if a musician doesn't perform or do a bunch of live covers and rather just make music in the studio. That doesn't mean their musical skills aren't legit.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you had any particular go-to's when it comes to the final stages of processing your audio? Thank you in advance!

Hey beautiful artists! I am collecting feedback for my new course that goes under the name "Mockup Craft" If you have a few seconds, I would love to know about what topics you would like to have covered. Some of you already provided me with some valuable feedback but I just want to make sure to cover as much stuff as possible that YOU want and need, rather than me releasing some course I think serves you well. So, to sum it up again. My goal is to build a huge course that covers everything about: - DAW (preparing a session, templates, shortcuts, other essentials) - MIDI (CC, Velocity, etc.) - Sample Libs - Ideas & Inspiration - Mixing & Mastering - Writing a track (Starting, Finalizing, Workflow) What else would you like to see? Just let it flow! :) When will this course be released? Mockup Craft has already been released as an early access course. Meaning, as a gift to join early, you get it a lot cheaper than the final price. In return, content will be available over a period of the next few weeks. PLUS, if you have feedback about what you are missing, I can react and record and optimize new videos. Audio Artist Rise Program Members will get it for free. The early access price is 49 USD. Final price will definitely be above 249/299 USD because I am aiming to create my biggest course covering everything you need to write compelling and solid music.

Dear fantastic people! I am pretty excited to present you a preview of my Fantasy Story Generator. It took quite a few weeks to figure out the best way on how to turn this into reality but here it is. Just a quick description. What is that Story Generator about? We all know that creating content is THE ONE way on social networks to get attention from the people you are connected with. It is a perfect way to communicate our craft and skills WITHOUT actively promoting or selling them. We are better than this :) However, we all also know that creating content sometimes can take quite a bit of time that we would need to write music or take care of other important things. This is were the fantasy story generator comes into play. Also be aware that it doesn't have to be fantasy. The setting could also be sci-fi or whatever. By just filling a few lines with text and clicking a button it will create a folder and fill it with video snippets and voiceover files. Now, you can take those media files, put it into your video editing software of choice and quickly stitch it all together. It is up to you now if you want to write your own music to the video and use it as inspiration or if you want to use an existing track. Whatever you decide for, finally you can generate subtitles with your video editing software, render this stuff out. The great thing, once you know it works and you got your music written, it doesn't take longer than 10 mins of manual work to put it all together. What do you think? The detailed walkthrough will soon be available for free and if you are part of my Audio Artist Rise Program, Gold Membership or got the Content Automation course, you get all the scripts and files to quickly have your own story generator.
