Hello Dear Readers and Happy New Year to you all! Thank you all for reading, following, and sharing my blog over the last year! Now that 2022 is coming to a close, here is a look back at some of the things I did during the year, mainly from a music perspective, but other things too! It’s been a strange year. After coming out of COVID, life has got a bit more back to normal. I’ve made some…

Anyone have any good recommendations for MIDI controllers and keyboards?

#I've been using GarageBand and Reaper for the whole music making #And I could easily make it through without a MIDI at all because smashing keyboard keys on GarageBand and strum strum instruments #But having a MIDI would make it WAYYY easier because I feel like I really need actually having the keys in front of me for piano tracks #And now I'm stuck between the Nektar Impact LX25+ and the AKAI MPK Mini MK3 bcs I've seen good reviews and they're cheaper options #And also the budget like doesn't matter to me rn j if u see this and u have recs and thoughts about midis just lmk #crystal rants

[barbatusart]

heya! i just went through your music making guide and it's great, but i still feel fairly illiterate, lol (not your fault, just a whole new world for me). one thing i hoped to find there but didn't, is how i might set up an actual keyboard (i have a yamaha psr-e373 in case it's significant) to work with reaper. i'd like two scenarios to be possible: to supply just the notes via kb (so use it as midi input, i guess?) while using VST from PC like in your examples; and use VST from kb itself (because the piano on it is flawless and there are quite a few other decent ones too). the kb itself has a "local on/off" function that lets you switch between these scenarios. i managed to set it up for cakewalk following a video tutorial, but no luck figuring out the settings in reaper. can you help? like, if you use a kb yourself, could you screenshot the relevant settings and show me?

many thanks!

i can try! ive got like 2 midi devices set up (i use the akai mpk mini & the korg nanokey2) that i use for the usual melodic walking around, chords themselves i put together on mindful harmony & then import that midi in & adjust as needed

for reaper what you want to do is have reaper detect your keyboard as a midi in device. make sure your keyboard is connected to your computer via USB (idk what itll be detected as but im assuming itll pop up as PSR for you) and then do the following:

Options > Preferences > Configure MIDI Devices

my nanokey2 isnt plugged in currently but you can see that it's ready to go under MIDI Inputs and MIDI Outputs for whenever i do plug it in. yours should pop up here; right click both and make sure theyre set to Enable, then hit Apply and OK.

reaper is now primed to recognize your MIDI track as input. what you need to do now is arm your specific track to accept MIDI input

on the left the red O button is the record button, and if you leftclick it it'll start receiving input. rightclick it to change what kind of input it accepts - change it to Input: MIDI > Virtual MIDI keyboard > All Channels like so:

then click the Record button again so it lights up to activate it on your track. now we've told reaper that itll only be accepting sound input from your keyboard. last thing you need to do is tell reaper what kind of sound it's going to make, because without that information it just wont make any sound, so get a noise-making VST ready (your lovely piano VST that you mentioned!) which is FX button > Add > pick your sound VST

NOW try pressing some keys on your yamaha and you should hear the keyboard VST sound you selected!

ive properly moved all my things to my moms + bought everything ive wanted to, so here’s a setup reveal :p (specs below cut)

the vast majority of items on my desk and in the pc case (headphones, keyboard, graphics card, etc) were gifted to me by my best friends :) im so privileged to have so many lovely things and it is entirely thanks to them. i owe them my entire life.

specs + items 🐟

pc: intel i5 processor, gigabyte ddr4 motherboard, 32gb ram, 2tb storage, radeon 6600xt graphics card (8gb), lian li O11 dynamic mini ATX case. (built 2-3yrs ago)

monitors: gonna be honest man i have no idea but i dont think either is above 75hz

keyboard: keychron v1 75% (highly recommend, best keyboard ive ever owned) with PBT keycaps off amazon

headphones: also unsure but very likely jbl tune 510bts

ipad: pro, 12.9in, 4th gen, 256gb (bought broken, fixed over time)

synth: akai professional mpk mini

🪼 every single part was bought by either me (sometimes) or various people from various places, family and friends alike, some of whom i dont have in my life anymore. but i am so so grateful that i get to do the things that i do.

and i am equally as grateful that each piece is a representation of the people i love.

帰宅後、毎日、音楽生活。

MIDI KEYのケーブルが短かったので、アマゾンでロングケーブルを買いました。

あと、エビ水槽のカルキ抜きに、テトラ・コントラコロラインも買いました。

（なんだか・・）

地元のお店で買うより安い。

今、気が付いたのですが、AKAI MPK miniのK1ノブを回すと、モジュレーションがかかることを発見！

（いまさら。笑）

DAWではいろんなソフトを使っていますが、それ以外はスタンドアローンで動くKORG・WAVE STASHIONのソフトウエア版で楽しんでいます。

（90年代のシンセ！）

そしてまたまた今気が付いたのですが、クレジットカードの利用限度額が３倍になっておりました。

（もはや車が買える）

一応、信用されているのか？

Who are you and what is your relationship with music?

I live in Ljubljana, a capital of a very small central-Europe country called Slovenia.

I started making music in my early teens. Coming from a non-musical family, it was your usual "Dad bought me a guitar" story that through trial and error and some basic lessons transcended into a music-making love affair, that seems to roll on.

I never really bothered with playing other peoples stuff, like most of my peers did, but I'd rather strum away and try to find my own thing from the very beginning.

From your usual early-teen metal phase I moved on to alt-rock and then it kinda jumped into all sorts of genres. In my early 20s I started doing film scores for smaller movies and various other media. This helped me to become quick in the various technicalities of music composition and production.

After my job at SAE Institute sadly ended, I moved on and did a lot of freelance work within the music field, before getting another regular 9-5 job in another media educational institute, which still provides my main income.

It's hard to survive only with musical output in Ljubljana, Slovenia especially if you come from a rather non-privileged background. So having a regular salary definitely helps that when you focus your creative energy on making music, the output is strictly what you decided to be.

What's the one thing in your studio you can't live without?

It's a hard question since every synth or music making gadget, at some point, is like a little baby that you can't live without. But thinking of it logically...

It's probably my laptop.

Thinking with heart however, I'd probably go with TE - OP-1 or Monome - Norns Shield.

What's your process?

Since I consider myself a newcomer into the intriguing world of DAWless jamming and ambient music, I tend to find my process to be constantly shifting.

However, what I seem to revolve around is texture. I start with texture - may it be a sample, synth or a field recording. The initial sound and colour has to draw me close enough that I can just sit and listen for a few minutes, enjoying the soundscape.

I learned slowly (and I still do) that I need to take time with each new sound element, processing it and still keep enough space within the atmosphere to let the piece breathe naturally. I was guilty (and still am at points) of doing the newbie mistake of adding and adding different harmonic layers, melodic ideas until all that is left is an asynchronous mess.

I still have a long way to go until I'll be comfortable enough to call myself anything close to a sound artist.

How would you explain your style?

I'm drawn towards a sound that sounds nostalgic, innocent and broken so I guess my style would be considered in the brighter spectrum of ambient music.

Taking a lot of ideas from nature and childhood, I try to create something that I would consider warm, beautiful, calm but at times chaotic. A lot has to do with gear that I own (or at least aspire to own) that I just enjoy the sound of and believe that such sound will push this initial style into a firmer ground as well as new territories.

Norns was something that changed my style as exploring. It's scripts forced me out of my comfort zone of quantized based music. It helped me understand that emotion is not grid-locked and my (now more open) mind found ways to conceptualize the uniqueness that came out of that little machine.

A similar breakthrough were tape-loops as well. There is no doubt in my mind that my style will evolve and something I consider now to be groundbreaking will look like a mere happy accident that kind of happened.

Has this journey of building a hardware setup changed the way you think about music or life in general?

Definitely!

The thing I really disliked when my creating was only based in a DAW setup was getting home from work and having to open my laptop yet again, staring at the same screen and making something that seemed I made a million times before. With this typical DAW fatigue I started losing interest in creating electronic music and found that strumming away on an acoustic instruments was a far more satisfying creative session.

But soon enough, the limiting sound that strictly acoustic instruments produce pushed me to search for alternatives. Once I got myself an OP-1 everything kinda changed. I took it to the park and found out that I really enjoy noodling on these portable synth around the beautiful scenery and I just let these droney textures take over.

I always knew that music has a healing effect on me, but making something that seems so naturally slow and evolving really adds it to a new level. Ambient sessions have now become far more therapeutic.

Music making (at least in this context) is now a far more meditative experience that makes me more relaxed than it used to with just creating a track in Logic Pro and now I come out of it far more satisfied.

What’s your ONE tip on music-production or creativity?

Be bravely slow.

I did a lot of music with a mindset of being quick is the only right way. But now I find that this tends to push me back into making the same stuff over and over again.

But taking time and really enjoying the process is a way more rewarding experience, giving you a sense of yearning for more exploration. You take this feeling and let yourself be hungry for a new session or better yet a new exploration into the whole unpredictable world of sound. This will then make you excited whenever you sit back with your gear just to noodle around and most importantly have fun doing it.

A book/movie/article that fueled your creativity?

Huh, a hard question since a lot of books, movies and music inspire me, but if I'd have to put a finger on it I'd say probably Steinbecks "Grapes of Wrath". I took a lot of themes from that book and used them in lyrics for a folk inspired EP I'm working on.

Another book that greatly inspired my sense of trying to mix emotion with a unique take on creativity is Danielewski's "House of Leaves". I absolutely adore that book.

Do you have a question in mind that you think I should have asked?

Synthetic Villains - Christmas Album - a mix of traditional and original instrumentals, in electro-folk fashion

I like Christmas music. As a small child, it really was a wondrous and magical time, and music sound-tracked that joy and excitement. It's stuck with me. Every Christmas over the years, and whilst making this album (over several months), I've listened to a lot of Christmas music. I don't like all of it, I'm pretty discerning, but I've taken on board everything from old carols up until recent times. I've researched the history of Christmas, including it's various pre-Christian roots, and the history of Christmas music. A lot of Christmas music is basically folk music (that more people listen to). Many of the melodies and some of the words have been sung for centuries, and like folk music, those melodies and words have evolved, been adopted and co-opted over the years – just like mid-winter pagan festivals, Norse Yule, Christian Christmas, and the mostly secular version we currently inhabit. There's probably the need for a good book about it all. But for now, suffice it to say, I've tried to encapsulate the spirit of Christmas (an umbrella term for all of it's permutations) within these 12 tracks. There is no snark here, it's a totally sincere album. My greatest wish would be for it to become part of your Christmas tradition - I hope you like it, and play it every year!creditsreleased December 2, 2022 Tracks 2, 5, 6, 8 written by Richard J Turner.
