So many great musicians on here with a cool sound. I am continuing to work on finding mine, the forever search... So different for each of us, and now so many new options running UA hardware and software. Here's another #SonicBrainstorm 'Own My Mistakes'

This New Year has not started off the best, as several of life’s most stressful events have occurred unexpectedly. It is during times like these that the BlueSky mindset becomes especially important. Remember, the injury to one’s self can often be greater when another approach is taken. #AlwaysRise

Some DAWs have a scale mapper that can assist as well. I use Reaper and its ReaControlMIDI ‘Snap to Scale’ feature to eliminate accidental off-notes when recording, as I’m not the most proficient pianist. However, sometimes you can discover cool sounds by hitting that accidental minor second.

What a challenge today getting the Gen2 Apollo X running. Never worked with a UAD interface before and new to Mac’s as well. Apparently, system extensions must be allowed but not through the OS. If MSWin users needed a security boot setting, I’d have been more prepared. 🤣🤣🤣

Wabi-sabi (侘寂)
A worldview centered on embracing the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and the natural cycle of growth and decay. It’s finding grace in the flawed and incomplete.
