Studio Tour: How I configured my studio for maximum creativity and productivity
The layout and configuration of my studio has taken years to get right. It's just about perfect now: Quick and simple, I can play and record every instrument without plugging or patching, and it's flexible enough to do pretty much anything I could imagine. Freeing yourself from having to rewire your studio every time you want to record something different promotes creativity and productivity!
I show my studio setup, explaining how and why I set it up the way I did, and showing the benefits of the routing and signal patch choices that I've made.
Unlike any other instrument, synthesizers have the unique ability to take pretty much any sound and turn it into a musical note or sound. Originally sampling was the way this was done, revolutionizing synthesis when it was introduced. Granular synthesis and Wavetable synthesis can also work with existing sounds, transforming them into new, previously unheard-of aural atmospheres. In this video I record some sounds, then use sampling, granular synthesis and wavetable synthesis to turn those sounds into something completely new and different.

FM sound design is seen as a black art practiced only by geniuses like Brian Eno, and best left alone by mere mortal synth owners. I'm here to tell you that this is NOT the case, and that anyone - and that means YOU - can do simple FM sound design! This is not the age of arcane DX-7 programming. Today's Montage and MODX make FM programming easy, and dare I say it - FUN! In this video I teach you how to make two simple sounds using the FM-X synth engine in your MODX and Montage, and set you off on your journey of FM discovery!

This video came as the result of a comment from someone who stated that only digital synthesizers could create sine waves. This is news to those of us who have been creating sine wave sounds on analog synthesizers for decades - including analog synthesizers that do not have a sine wave oscillator! In this video, I show you exactly how this is done.
