As a fan of Billy and Mandy, the music was one of my favorite things about the show. It has a retro synth soundtrack with a cartoony orchestra. But Drew Neumann, Gregory Hinde knew how to pull it off, I will sharing on what synthesizers they used in the score. It's a lot of cool stuff. (Thread)

If you have Cubase, do not sleep on Revelation. It's totally underrated, and perfect for putting a sound in a "space".

A reminder that if you are curious about the gear used to make your favorite OSTs, you can find (most of the time) the studio and they publicly list their gear, plugin list, accommodated instrument section sizes, studio size on their website.

I've been doing test mixes with this thing for a couple days now. I think I finally understand why some people prefer knobs to parametric. Of course they all have their purposes.

You find yourself in a mystical forest🌲✨🌲 a polar opposite from my last track lol my mind is all over the place. Here's something of a JRPG style area theme. #gameaudio #composer #vgm

I finally beat Soul Reaver after all these years of my family owning it. friggin amazing game, writing, design, music! There are few games where the voice acting actually gives me chills. And that main theme is SO GOOD!

I've been trying to get emulator x3 to work in multiple programs for like a week, and no dice.☹️ Vienna pro works sometimes, but still crashes randomly. It's just too old. This sucks

I'm listening now. I totally hear that. I honestly don't know which I prefer lol The ps3 version seems more in your face. at least the percussion is.

Hello all, it's been a while! I wrote a chill, 90s inspired groove. I've been testing out Nexus, and I love it! So many sounds I heard in high school lol Sadly, I wasn't able to fit the whole song on here, so you'll have to go to Twitter for the full. 🙂 #gameaudio #vgm #gamemusic #composer

Finished a track last night. It's been a while since I posted on here, and I am sorry 😔 lately, it's been pretty rough mentally. I will post later!
