Hello everyone! I'd like to thank you for taking time out of your day to read my introductory post. If you like what you read, let's talk after in some way :)
My name is Eron and the idea of what platforms like Steemit and APPICS can do absolutely blow my mind. I don't post on social media too frequently but platforms like these may motivate content creation a lot more.
I like to learn about several things but music is what I spend my time learning about most. I enjoy listening to records and I've most recently been listening to hip hop, pop, R&B, acapella, and electronic music. In the past I was obsessed with instrumental music so I still have knowledge about that.
Beyond that I enjoy producing music a lot. I started with an early 2008 White MacBook and used whatever patches I had on there but hopped on to using Logic in the beginning of 2016. I've given a lot more time to producing tracks in 2017. My rig isn't fancy at all, but here's what my set up looks like!
I don't have a ton of gear as you can see, but I own a MacBook Pro mid 2012 with an SSD and RAM upgrade, an Audio Technica AT2035 condenser microphone, a pair of Sennheiser HD 558's, Mackie CR3 reference monitors, and I use my Yamaha Arius YDP-141 to get scratch ideas down.
I also own three cheap Pyle Pro PDMic 78's (an SM57 clone), which are damn close to 57. I also have access to a few Shure and Neumann microphones at the studio I record at.
As far as instruments go, I play piano, guitar, drums, and a bit of trumpet. I don't have performance chops but I use being able to play these instruments as tools to write my material.
I could talk about VSTs and plugins all day too. Just someone trying to learn the ins and outs of producing music, and despite not being in an acoustically treated room I can get some halfway decent mixes to come out of my laptop. I'll post a link to a portfolio of music I've worked on in the past few months at the end of this post if you're interested. I also have a YouTube channel under the alias "Deguess".
Let's talk! Share ideas, let me know what you think. Let's bounce knowledge off of each other. I hope to post about anything and everything music related. Thanks again for reading!
