29Jul Writing music with a sampler.
Your film footage might be great, but it’s nothing without a good sound track. I can’t afford to pay for top 40 music, so most of the time I write my own.

I know I make it look kind of easy in this video, but don’t be fooled, it takes some practice to get used to this type of music creation.

That was awesome. Can you do a tutorial on the Akai mpk mini. Don’t know if you have something like that. But if you do a tutorial like the one you have above would be great cause there’s nothing on youtube on the akai mini quite like the tutorial you have above.
thanks
