On Instagram I post sound design / game audio related stuff

DAW Eternal: a Doom inspired jam, constantly switc

DAW Eternal: a Doom inspired jam, constantly switching between Reaper and Ableton Live! My old friend @liboladen made all the Ableton stuff, some of it based on creative resampling of bits from my Reaper-parts, which I thought was pretty cool! We didn't plan anything really, except agreeing that it should be inspired by Mick Gordon's soundtrack for Doom/Doom Eternal.
I just produced a few seconds of chaotic guitar stuff, bounced it, sent it to @liboladen, and let him figure out how to make the next part. And from there we just bounced the project around from daw to daw a few times.
It's a fun way to inspire eachother when producing, since it's constantly going in unexpected directions, but the result can quickly become a bit all over the place, heh 😀 It was a wonderful way for me to get some practice with producing metal guitars in Reaper, trying out a different guitar mix for each part.
And lately, I've also been fooling around with video editing in Hitfilm Express, so I thought why not go a little nuts with some overly dramatic zoom effects? XD Anyways, thanks for listening! #reaperdaw #abletonlive #doometernal #musicproduction #composer #gamecomposer #gameaudio #musicproducer #musiccomposer #gamedev #indiedev #sounddesigner #djent #doomgame #7string #nativeinstruments #guitarrig5 #battery4 #ableton #hitfilmexpress

Let's see if I actually managed to make this loopable! While tweaking the parameters for these two synths, I noticed something weird about the melody. It's almost as if there's a melody going up and down, even though it's just a bunch of falling notes in multiple octaves. I love these types of chaos-induced music illusions that trick our minds into perceiving patterns that theoretically shouldn't be there.
Or maybe I've just listened to this loop so much I'm beginning to hear things, lol XD On another NOTE, doesn't this Vital synth plugin just look absolutely gorgeous? I can't believe such an amazing plugin is completely free. What a treat! #reaperdaw #musicproduction #composer #gamecomposer #gameaudio #musicproducer #musiccomposer #gamedev #indiedev #sounddesigner #synthwave #vitalsynth

First time trying to record with no click track, create a tempo map, and build a groove around that.
The result is a little weird... With the bpm constantly going up and down, you get a strange sort of sloppiness to the rhythm, which I can't figure out if I hate or love, haha XD Either way I got some great practice with using Battery and Vital - my two new favorite tools for drums and synths! Many people recommended Vital to me, and it did not dissapoint! After creating the tempo map it was pretty easy to do some mild quantization on the piano midi, covering up some of my timing errors (which was super necessary, since I'm not that good of a piano player in reality).
If you listen closely you can actually hear the beat slowing down, everytime I'm struggling with some of the difficult piano parts, which is kind of funny 😛 Anyways, thanks for listening!! Btw. this is part of the same song as my last post (all is still WIP though) #reaperdaw #musicproduction #tempomapping #composer #spitfireaudiolabs #nativeinstruments #battery4 #gamecomposer #gameaudio #musicproducer #pianist #musiccomposer #gamedev #indiedev #sounddesigner #spitfireaudio

Here's a snippet from a song I'm working on! First time recording myself playing piano, so I was a little nervous about posting, but I hope you'll enjoy it 🙂 I've only been playing the song on my electric piano, so I thought it would be interesting to record some of it as midi and experiment with some different LABS instruments to try and create a dreamy sort of piano sound. It has been a lot of fun trying to write a piece consisting solely of arpeggios and then utilizing velocity changes to bring forth the melodies.
Doing it like that is somewhat of a constraint on what kinds of melodies are possible, but being limited creatively can often times be a wonderful source of inspiration! I haven't uploaded videos of myself playing before, but after getting an usb-extension-cord for my webcam last week, I thought why not give it a go 😀 Anyways, have a nice day! #spitfireaudiolabs #musicproduction #composer #pianist #gamecomposer #gameaudio #musicproducer #musiccomposer #gamedev #indiedev #sounddesigner #reaperdaw
