Breaks N Beats Podcast #23

After a half-year break (pun sort of intended), Breaks & Beats Podcast is here with episode 23.

DJ BOOKINGS: fanusamurai@gmail.com

Haven’t been making these as often as I used to, as an almost complete death of DJ booking demand has been discouraging (hey I still wanna DJ!), and I literally haven’t touched the decks for around a year (aside from sampling).
So, time to warm up – and this is a good way to contribute to my beloved culture anyways.
As always, I don’t plan these much, and I certainly don’t practice for mixtapes – it’s a spontaneous one-time performance like real DJ set, and that’s it! 
Autumn’s here, which means this music works better than ever, and I sure as heck I’m fond of these types of vibes.
I did f**k up a bit but that’s what you get when you don’t (have a need to…) practice for a year. But I guess it was an ok effort, considering. Afer recording this one, I actually felt I’d be warmed up for a better/tighter performance, but naaah, can’t do it twice.

There’s supposed to be two vinyl EPs full of this type vibes from myself still in 2019.

video: Ableton live gain staging, audio engine and headroom

Let this video explain and clarify things relating to how proper gain staging, headroom, and audio engine work in Ableton Live.
This video will show and explain to you those matters in order to remove and clarify related audio myths once and for all, as there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding around those matters.

This is an excerpt from my Ableton Advanced video course.

microbrute basses back online

I had (or still have) a post about some Microbrute basses I recorded and gave away.
A kind follower pointed out the link wasn’t working.
It hadn’t been working for a while…but it is now!

Grab the samples here!

This is a pack of bass sounds I recorded from my analog Microbrute synth. It’s a small, monophonic beast that creates some pretty hefty bass sounds. The sounds in the pack are not anything super dirty, but they have nice (over)tones that will cut nicely thru your mix, and also, they should be something you can sculpt into many different shapes yourself.
