Don't Waste My Free Time, My Time is Not Free
Long time folks, Iāve mostly moved to YouTube and Patreonā¦ but *sometimes* I do remember this small corner of the internet. I swear I need to get some tools in place to help me manage all of the stuff I am putting togetherā¦ but that requires *more time*ā¦ Iād rather spend my time actually responding to valuable questions and helping people out than writing a rant like this, butā¦ here weā¦
The Uncarved Block #001
For anybody looking to remix some music and/or art, Iām setting up The Uncarved Block as a forum on my Discord server. The goal is to provide a place for people to take a track or idea, and remix it into something new, and get some feedback from the community on what worked well, options for other ideas, and suggestions for what to do next. This will come together as a Soundcloud playlist to putā¦
Roland SP-404 mk2 Guide v0.36
Most importantly (for me at least) is Iām still kicking! For those who have been paying attention, Iāve been slowly branching out into other instruments on my YouTube channel, and starting to look into things like the Dirtywave M8, Roland P-6, and Ableton Move. Thereās plenty of cool gear out there, and certainly not enough free time to cover it all. That said, I do try and keep the Guide goingā¦
Roland SP-404 mk2 Guide v0.33
Hey everybody, itās been a long time coming to get the guide updated for firmware 4.04, but it is finally here! Whatās happened in between? Well I dropped the Quick Reference for the SP404 mk2, which was a lot of fun to make, but super time consuming. Plus within just a few days of releasing it, Roland dropped the 4.04 firmware update. I decided to invest the effort into updating the Quickā¦

In the top 2%?!
This is a weird one for me for sure. I got an email that congratulated me for being in the top 2% of earners for buymeacoffee.com.

My online digital āfootprintā is kind of a mess, where I have accounts for all kinds of services,ā¦

Roland SP-404 mk2 Guide v0.29
Hereās an updated version of the guide.

Personal Project Management
Hey everybody! Iāve been working through deciding what project management software to setup for myself personally, and Iāve been looking through several options. Thereās a lot of interesting paid software, open source software, and a lot of opinions of what is best to use, how they integrate together. Itās a lot to dig through, but understanding othersā experience with a tool is certainlyā¦

Roland SP-404 mk2 Guide v0.28
Just a few simple tweaks for today based on some information I learned while running a few experiments (and answering questions) on my live stream at https://youtube.com/live/LT8YEWt7zuY?feature=share The plan was to figure out a few volume maximums/limits, especially for recording. I decided to use the USB-C audio interface connection from the SP404 mk2 to my computer since it is a digitalā¦

Roland SP-404 mk2 Guide v0.27
This is a first pass to try and incorporate all of the changes that came in for Firmware 3.0. I am quite certain Iāve got to go back and rewrite sections, organize some data differently, and overall rethink how this guide is put together. That said, I did spend a lot of time trying to get everything together. neartaos-sp-404-mk2-guide-0.27Download

In Five Overview
kf6gpe over on my discord server asked about my process, and while I am more than happy to have a discussion about it, I figured it might be worth writing down in a blog to capture for others in the future as a distinct artifact. Before I get too deep into this, I wanted to let you, the reader know, that Iāll be intermingling thoughts of what I do with why I do it. This post will probablyā¦

303 Vinyl Sim Noise
303 Vinyl SimĀ Noise
A request over on Reddit came in for some Vinyl Sim Noise recorded off of a 303. Why? I donāt knowā¦ but maybe the user will provide some details. To record this, I just hooked the 303 up to the 404 mk2, turned on the Vinyl Sim on the 303, turned off Compression and Wow, and did a few passes at Volume and Noise levels. After that, did the old record, and then exported to SD. Nothing fancy hereā¦ā¦
