Sup everyone? The name's Matthew, alias peacemaker. I also used to make music under the aliases "The Red Rebel" and "Rushmore!"
I've been producing music for a long time now- I started out with fl 3 and have stuck with it ever since. Nowadays I also use acid a fair bit because its much better for arrangement and audio editing the fl.
Though I used to be a completely digital artist, I've been slowly but steadily pushing into the realm of analog- I've been playing guitar for longer than I've been producing, so I currently have a nice setup with a Gibson LP Studio Faded, Boss ME-50, an Ibanez Bass, and a laguna acoustic guitar. I've also got some other weird equipment lying around- I've got a Galveston Dobro, a Korg Electribe, and a Casiotone that's older than I am.
This summer, it was my goal to learn a great deal more about song production, and arrangement, as well as to get better at guitar. As a result, I spent a fair amount of time doing mashups, both girltalk style and straight mashes. I also have been learning about the workings and limitations of dBlue glitch, a pretty awesome piece of software.
I don't often use software synths for production anymore, but when I do, its generally a heavily modified sound from nexus, Toxic III, or Vanguard.
I'm not affiliated with any label yet, though I did license some tracks to o2jam under the name "the red rebel" a while back. |
