2ND ACCIDENT

CURRENT SETUP MAC AIR 2017 Even Apple laptops can be the cheapest option for music production, which is why I prefer working with computers. The second reason is that they are compact. Otherwise, I would have chosen the Novation circuit and gradually entered the world of dawless music production. Because what you see on my livestreams are me finding creative solutions, which I'm still happy with. But in an ideal world, I would have a dawless setup and some physical instruments like the Koto, Pipa, and Shamisen, which you often hear in my works on livestreams and music platforms. I'm a big fan of the traditional Asian sound. ABLETON LIVE LITE I use Ableton, and it took me about 2 years to make the switch from Garage Band. I used Garage Band on my iPad, but then I got a Mac and decided to switch to Ableton. I found myself leaning more towards live performing than music production, so I discovered Ableton's awesome performance capabilities. Another reason I chose Ableton is be...

In the whirlwind of life, we often find ourselves grappling with the notion of time. It seems to slip through our fingers like sand, leaving us with a constant reminder of its impermanence. In a recent music livestream chat, the topic of life's challenges arose, and the discussion shed light on two valuable insights: the acceptance of imperfection and the importance of making the best move possible in any given moment. This blog post explores these profound realizations and how they can guide us towards a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Life is filled with a myriad of opportunities, choices, and goals. Yet, the limited time we have at our disposal makes it impossible to attain perfection in every endeavor. As human beings, we often strive for perfection, seeking flawlessness in our actions, relationships, and accomplishments. However, the pursuit of perfection can be a double-edged sword. While it can fuel our ambition and drive, it can also become a paralyzing force. Acknowle...

For three transformative years, I streamed on twitch my electronic symphonies to the virtual audience, who embraced my unique style with open arms. This digital family not only inspired me but also nurtured my confidence in performing live. With each stream, I felt a growing urge to step beyond the digital boundaries and share my music with offline world. And so, I ventured into the heart of the city, my heart pounding with excitement and trepidation. Armed with a desire to fill the streets with my melodies, I approached restaurants, social clubs, and various venues, eager to share my passion for electronic music. Yet, the journey was not without its challenges. As I presented myself and my music to the world, I encountered skepticism and raised eyebrows. Some struggled to envision an electronic musician performing live, while others viewed my artistry as an untested experiment. It was disheartening at times, but I remembered the unconditional support I received from my Twitch communi...

 #Written by Rorang ( Original Post ) - I just translated it to English  "I went to Gangnam Station yesterday to take care of some business and visited 'JoEun Music' in Seocho-dong to check out some equipment. After having a conversation with the owner and having lunch, I decided to purchase a headphone amplifier. Originally, I was planning to buy a product from Mackie, but when I saw that the original price of around 40,000 to 50,000 won had increased to 70,000 won, I thought it would be better to spend a little more and get a better product, so I ended up buying the Alctron amplifier. I work on music production using Logic, and often the recorded wave files, such as sample wave files, vocals, and instruments, fill up to almost maximum decibels (db). Continuously working this way, the headroom gets limited, making it difficult to adjust volume balance. Also, while playing, there are frequent volume spikes (high peaks). So, I reduce the volume a lot while working. Since m...
