It was so special walking down the aisle to this song at my wedding. If you’re a bride-to-be, and looking for a song to walk out to, maybe “Beyaz” is the one for you too. Out now on all major platforms. Listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/6jNBW…

I tested @sony’s 360 Virtual Mixing Environment at the iconic Battery Studios! I learned about the technology at a mixer hosted by the @RecordingAcad & Sony. I was so intrigued by the customized nature of it that I decided to cover the experience for @MusicTechMag. Read here ⬇️
“What if you could take your studio with you wherever you go?” Sony invited us to Battery Studios to try their customised immersive audio experience — and it starts by putting tiny microphones inside your ears. “They have the capsule facing outwards. Literally taking the measurements of how sound enters into your ear canals,” says Sony’s Isaac Rodrigues. Read what happened next: musictech.com/features/sony-…

What’s in your production toolkit? Sometimes I get asked which plugins I use the most while producing music. The J37 Tape Saturation plugin from @WavesAudioLtd is definitely one of them. Instrumental Track: SIRMA - Rewind / Gittiğinden Beri #wavesaffiliate #musicproduction

Forget presets. This producer built an entire track using just one vocal recorded on their phone — bass, pads, percussion — all from a single source. Here's how @_SIRMA_ did it. musictech.com/tutorials/tips…

An entire track produced with an iPhone recording of my voice! My latest tutorial for @MusicTechMag 🤍 Had a ton of fun designing sounds for this one. I used my voice to create every element: the pads, the bass, and even the drums! musictech.com/tutorials/tips…

This piece is filled with demonstrative videos, images, audio samples, and written instructions. It’s a learning opportunity for self-producing artists, songwriters & curious music fans who love learning about the creative process behind writing & producing simultaneously.
