[@ollnvnktt]

patiently waiting for the Komplete Kontrol MK3 :)

[@hishamdahud]

I love seeing your face pop up on my feed Brian. 👋🏼😊

[@MusicdirectorSonJimyoung]

Thanks 😊

[@adamacote]

You can use a tablet like an iPad or other to make music. Or your phone as well. There are great apps that do a lot for making music.

[@yogibear1948]

Hello, Is there a way to disable the influence of the Komplete Kontrol 61 Keyboard modulation wheel for ONLY ONE instrument in a Multi? I'm trying to use the Baritone Saxophone from Factory Library 2 but can't seem to 'switch off' the tremolo. Thanks

[@LanaBear7]

Great info! However I don’t think it’s good to tell people you don’t need much ram and saying 8GB is enough. When you start off you might not need much, but soon enough you’ll find yourself coming into a more creative space and needing more instruments to build upon which can rack up ram pretty quickly. I think 32GB ram should be good if you’re taking it seriously

[@cURLybOi]

REAPER didn't make the cut to be listed :( :D

[@anaphylastiks]

Also look at l3 and l2 cache memory.

[@mansoorsabaag3964]

I never played any instrument in my life, but i am having so many ideas that i must bring at least one of them to life. I don't know how to read notes neither how they actually sound. Do i still have a chance to start without this knowledge?

[@adamacote]

Apple plus Ableton Live. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ModernRetroGameplays]

Thanks for the movie.

[@majewskimusic]

Thank you, ;-)

[@sirvaant]

Will that Strings Ensemble work on Mac Mojave?

[@PatrickFungsca]

Quick question, External HHD recommendations? Which fast SSD would you recommend?

[@underscoredtate]

I use a Kingston 1 tb external ssd, it’s on Amazon. It’s pretty fast. No problems or glitches also.

[@ndguardian]

I've got the Sandisk Extreme SSD 1TB and it performs phenomenally. Would recommend.

[@FizzENT]

Definitely Sandisk Extreme SSD and if you have a huge sound collection i'd go with 4 TB to future proof.

[@martynroach182]

What about Cakewalk by Bandlab...a completely FREE DAW that has many free effects and ca also import video.

[@mansoorsabaag3964]

Is there an extremely beginner friendly daw (free) out there? I'd love to know that so i know where to start correctly.

[@peterpopovics8794]

Garage Band, Apple's free DAW is a good choice I believe.

[@xutsider]

Btw.. the first thing you WILL need to make a cup of coffee.. is a cup

[@MrFunktone]

😂

[@anaphylastiks]

Mac has iOS and monopoly on the hardware, but very expensive and restricted. But you can get a purpose build PC for music at half the price.

[@TheFrankiejay]

You could build your pc and then be lumbered with incompatibilities and lots of time solutionising. With Apple, it just works. It’s all about choices at the end of the day. Just a thought.

[@BenKrisfield]

For the DIY/Indie Artist, iZotope plugins going to be the best investment you can get imo.

[@oneshotj]

🤌🏾👍🏾

[@KimchiBagels]

dammit, what is the string motif at 11:05

[@mistamixSD]

Pirates of the Caribbean?

[@zaharishtonov]

Wait! You mean, you don't need a pen and paper? 😁

[@anaphylastiks]

People don't need to spend lots of money.

[@TheFrankiejay]

Lots of money? That’s very subjective. Musk money? 😀

[@benderocks788]

N.I. guy says: "When composing, THE ULTIMATE GOAL is to be able to write music for visual media". Sorry but, what kind of statement is that ??? When I compose music, my ultimate goal is to tune-in inward and listen to my intuitive guidance, and tap into the non-linear wisdom of the universe in order to channel a slice of musical truth. It is NOT to "compose" music for some corporate video... Brahms has probably turned around in his grave by now... :o/
