Decided to make previews of the patches from the expasion cards for the D50 and D550 as well. This is the first video, for the PN-D50-01 card by Roland themselves.
First, the bad news: I've been largely unable to think of new tunes for a while, now. Hopefully this will change for the better soon.
Partially because of this, and also because of hearing about other producers doing this, the thought occurred to me: should I remaster my older material? I'm beginning to lean toward this idea, as frankly, I feel my production and mixing skills could've been way better until fairly recently. I've already begun with the title track for my debut album in synthwave: "Prison of the Mind". The remaster is currently for a limited audience for the sake of critiques, but I will hopefully publicize it on SoundCloud soon. Just an update of sorts for everybody. Finally have previews of all of the Roland D-50 factory presets available for listening on YouTube! The demos are split into two videos, 32 patches played per video. Most have likely noticed by now that I've changed my logo and imagery choices on many sites. This was for the sake of listener retention: I've received many complaints about how unfitting the snake character was for my work, and, while some of these messages were constructive criticisms over outright complaining, it was becoming a bit much for a producer who's only starting to get established in music.
On a related note, I regret to say I pulled some of my own YouTube videos. The good news is that this was limited to videos with very little attention after over a year, and it's related because I noticed most of these videos involved said old imagery alongside the music. That's all for now, though I am hoping to get myself out of this musician's block and resume making music. |
