No, YOU just bought and downloaded 100GB+ worth of audio samples and presets! That legit took hours to download and organize...

Shout out to Simon Servida (www.youtube.com/@ServidaMusic) for his Capital Drum Kits. They're some of my go to kits. Very versatile, good sounding, and fair pricing for what you get. Especially LOVE the percs and fx samples. I HIGHLY recommend them! simonservida.com

Happy 5th anniversary, Nurture! It’s so special to me, it might be my favorite album of all time. I laughed. I cried. I felt seen. It inspired me. It truly changed my life. Thank you @porterrobinson.com for releasing this beautiful piece of art. It truly made a difference in my life. ^_^ 💚

I do love FL Studio. It ain't perfect, but ultimately I've used it for so long and have so many friends who use it, I can't see myself using another DAW. *hugs the giant fruit*

One of my favorite piano plugins is @xlnaudio.bsky.social's "Addictive Keys", specifically the Studio Grand's "Prepared Horror" preset. Even on non-spooky tracks it's one of my go to pianos. There's actually a 40% off sale going on right now if you wanna snag it! www.xlnaudio.com/spring_sale

This post is brought to you by my strong desire to get an ultra wide monitor of some kind. In a perfect world, a super big ultra wide OLED like this one. Think of how many plugin windows I could have open at once!

Dear music producers who work solely on a laptop screen, No shade, but... HOW?! How do you do it?! I've done it before when I'm traveling, but that's also with a second portable monitor, and not on a regular basis. I need / will take as much screen real estate I can get. :3

I bought a bunch of horror sample packs from “The Sample Stop”, so of course I had to make a beat with them. Really fun packs! Can’t wait to use them more going forward. Hope you enjoy! #mikedropaudio #mikedrop #mdosik #silenthill #industrialmusic #music #horrormusic #horror

NEW AUDIO GEAR! My old interface was having issues, so I invested in a new one: The Solid State Logic SSL 2+ MK II I’m LOVING it so far! Recordings and sound is notably clearer, and that 4K button is chef kiss. Thanks @savepointlofi.bsky.social + @robkta.bsky.social for the help + recommendation!

In the meantime, I'll be fighting every urge in my body to buy the Addictive Keys Mark One piano plugin while it's on sale. It's so warm and intimate sounding and I want it so badddddd. ;-; If you have the means, highly recommend picking it up. www.xlnaudio.com/products/add...

Update: This came in the mail today. Told you I wasn’t kidding. ;) Granted it’s just the single “Still Alive” by Lisa Miskovsky (plus a bunch of remixes,) but that’s the main track I wanted. ^_^

My buddy @wayneisboss.bsky.social is a huge Digimon fan and recommended I listen to “File City - Night” from Digimon World. I like it! Very calming track, so I did a little cover / demo of it. #digimon #digimonworld #videogamemusic #mikedrop

Koethe's song "Price" has been on my mind, so I gave covering the intro a go. Really good, fun learning experience, as simple as it was. I'm trying to use more real instruments in my songs, and while it can be a challenge at times, I'm really digging the results. Motivates me to practice more. ^_^
