Hard Work, Persistence and Passion . . . .
… will only get you so far ….
So my current setup for music has served me well for almost 5 years: HP Omen Desktop PC (released in February 2017), i5-7400, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD (more details here for those interested) However, I have noticed recently that it has been struggling on some of my larger projects and I am starting to think...

So having established how useful I believe the "Touch Portal" app will be in my personal music workflow I decided I wanted to have a dedicated "client" positioned alongside my Control Surface to take over duties (for the most part) from my phone. Credit to the developers they have bean able to maintain compatibility with... Continue Reading →
Perhaps my biggest achievement to date - I have invented a cool new Smiley Face! (at least until someone tells me I haven't \\;-)) Update:Also home of the official Dr Who Smiley Face (Matt Smith Era) #DrWho #MattSmith\\:-)X The Cowboy: -):-) The sixties chick: @@:-) And the Cheeky Monkey::-@
I hadn't anticipated that this would be quite so easy to use so thought I would do this second post just to show this functionality in FL Studio as it stands now. Essentially it is the same as with the supported DAWs and might just be the stand out feature of the UF8! I can... Continue Reading →

I wondered if this would work with FL studio and while nowhere near as complete as the Pro Tools implementation for which it was made, it does have enough functionality... Continue Reading →
So this plugin appears to be being pushed hard at the moment so I thought I would give it a listen and give my initial thoughts using it from within FL Studio (through a pair of "neutral" Surface Headphones). First off I thought I would look at the officially supported headphones - I don't have... Continue Reading →
The wall in question (removing a picture revealed the power supply, albeit one from a light fitting) Assuming that I am competent with a drill and can manage the TV mounting bracket here are the main issues: Power to the TVAudio out from the TV into my existing 5.1 amplifierCoaxial connection for standard TV signal...

FL Studio already has a great "MPC -like" drum editor called the FPC (more info here) but this uses the drum samples that sit on your hard drive so what happens if you want to utilise the kits from an MC-101 - and specifically audition the kits at Mix Down to see if other kits... Continue Reading →
I have my MC101 connected to my PC using a USB Cable with the audio out connected via my Audio Interface (Scarlett Focusrite in my case) The whole process is deceptively simple: Midi Setup for my MC101 (Port Number is not important as long as it is the same for input and output) Step 1...

Go on - give it a go, you know you want... Continue Reading →
