Idea Maker On The Go And The Basic Foundation of Production & DJ

The Akai MPK Mini MK2 which is well known used by various DJ & Producer was my first MIDI Keyboard after going through hour less research.

It light and it easy to bring it around. So even when I'm on the road I can bring it along with me if I have a sudden melody idea. The arpeggiator function is also one of the many reason why i have selected it as a lot of budget MIDI Controller does not have this function. Taking advantage of this feature makes my production more interesting

Furthermore, Im also started learning how to DJ with it by mapping DJ Functions with Virtual DJ before I own a proper DJ Controller. Until now, I am still using it to play samples along with my DJ Sets once in a while

One draw back may be the responsive of the key, somehow they count be detect if you are playing it too fast

A Major Upgrade from KZ ZST Pro

Going on from my KZ ZST which last me about 1 years, i went for the KZ ZSN earphone. I'm surprised that KZ does know what they are doing when its comes to dealing with budget in ear monitors. Major sound improvement form the previous generation which is a big plus.

In addition to that, I believe they do listen to the consumer feedback for example the plastic on the earbud shell keep coming off due to the glues used. With the KZ ZSN, the company op for a miniature screw to prevent the earbud shell from coming off.

Another problem with the previous KZ ZST is the cable design which only last at least a minimum of 3 month. The KZ ZSN now feature a durable cable design however there are still room for improvement.

But based on it current pricing, it still a 5 star standard from me for budget earphones

Go Best with Piano

One may find every track that i made with Valhalla Vintage Verb as I always used with my piano or string, giving it a nice clarity sound.

Main Stream For Bass and Plucks

I was introduced to Spire awhile ago as it was used by most well known producer like Hardwell, Alan Walker, W&W. After play it awhile, I find that the bass and pluck from the default factory bank quite pleasing and it fit most genre in my production. Even so I have planned to get several expansion sound bank to widen my selection.

In addition to that, the recently V1.5 update introduced a more organized library selection interface, I do think it make it much more easier for my to select my the sound that I wish to find. However, one thing i can complete may be the soundbank scanning procedure which may cause your DAW to crash if you are using a average computer configuration.

My Main Studio Setup

As far as I remember, I had been using FL Studio DAW since 2014. During that time, I was so serious about music yet. But after playing it around, I eventually gotten serious and it became my main setup for mastering and mixing before moving on to actually music production until now which is currently at V20.7

One of the features that I like about FL Studio is the free update, eventually I wont need to pay additional fee in order to upgrade my FL Studio. Furthermore, the user friendly interface makes it more easy for me to work around with my production compare to other DAWs. I do recommend those who are interested with music production get started with FL Studio.
