Liina Turtonen, aka LNA, is a musician, producer, and educator, who runs the LNA Does Audio Stuff YouTube Channel. Liina is an Ableton Certified Trainer and just released her book Creative Confidence and Music Production: Overcome Your Insecurities. LNA and I discussed her new book and the inspiration behind writing it. She shared insights that have helped her and her students get past creative blocks and insecurities. Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Takeaways: LNA's journey to authorship was unexpected due to her dyslexia. Creative confidence is essential for artists to overcome insecurities. Art is often undervalued despite its significant role in society. Vulnerability is necessary for authentic creative expression. Insecurities often stem from past experiences and external judgments. Recognizing negative thought patterns is the first step to overcoming them. Acceptance of emotions is crucial in the creative process. It's important to create without the fear of judgment from others. Life is short; take risks and pursue your passions. Embrace the mindset of 'why not?' to unlock creativity. Consistency in your efforts is more important than perfection. Being comfortable in your mediocrity can be liberating. Curiosity keeps life interesting and fulfilling. You never know who you might inspire by pursuing your passions. The journey of creativity is often more valuable than the end result.

Welcome to part two of this two part episode with Brian Funk.Today's guest is Brian Funk, a New York-based musician, producer, and Ableton Certified Trainer. He hosts the Music Production Podcast. Brian teaches music production at Berklee Online. And, he is the author of 5-Minute Music Producer: 365 Music-Making Activities.Throughout this conversation we discuss: * The advantages of having a day job.* Thinking about the opinions of others.* The distinction between what you can and can't control.* How multiple projects can help you avoid burnout.* Why you should have your own website.* And, how Brian accidentally wrote a book.That's it for Part Two of this two part episode. Subscribe to ProducerHead wherever you are listening so that you don't miss out on future episodes. Don't forget to leave a review and share this episode with a friend.Three Things I Learned From This Conversation: 1. WHEN YOU'RE WORKING, WORK. WHEN YOU'RE RELAXING, RELAX.It's OK to take a break and watch Netflix. Don't ruin an episode of The Bachelor with guilt about how you “should be working right now.” Build relaxation and time away into your working routine to avoid burnout and create space for enjoyment. You and the quality of your work will thank you.2. MAKING GETTING STARTED EASIER.Once you are on the path, you will discover what exists on the path. Begin working and you'll find that you can reshape and edit according to what you experience during the process. Your vision will reveal itself along the way.I feel this one strongly. Here's the proof: “Do it on purpose and find out who you are.”3. HAVING A DAY JOB CAN BE AN ADVANTAGE.Day jobs are often seen as obstacles to living a creative life. Do not overlook the fact that your day job provides at least two powerful opportunities:* Constraints on your time: The decision on when to work is made for you. Embrace those windows with intention.* Creative Freedom: Without relying on the art as your livelihood, you're able to make what it is you want to make.

Welcome to part one of this two part episode with Brian Funk.Today's guest is Brian Funk, a New York-based musician, producer, and Ableton Certified Trainer. Brian hosts the Music Production Podcast, teaches music production at Berklee Online, and is the author of 5-Minute Music Producer: 365 Music-Making Activities.Throughout this conversation we talk about* The value of embracing structure in songwriting.* Decision making in the music production process.* How limitations in your production process are a good thing.* Working hard and not taking yourself too seriously.* And Brian teaches me about anaphora.

SELF-IMPOSED CONSTRAINTS AND LIMITATIONS LEAD TO FINISHING WORK.If you have a computer, you can do anything, and that's too much. Limit your options. Making decisions propels you forward.2. A VISION IS NOT REQUIRED TO BEGIN A PROJECT.Once you are on the path, you will discover what exists on the path. Begin working and you'll find that you can reshape and edit according to what you experience during the process. Your vision will reveal itself along the way.I love this one. Here's the proof: “Do it on purpose and find out who you are.”3. SHARE WHO YOU ARE.In Brian's case, he believed his musical identity should remain outside of school (he also teaches English). He has come to find that the two can live together. The world of education appreciates his musical talents and vice versa.Listen on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.Tap in with toru:Substack: Instagram: @torubeatYouTube: @torubeattiktok: @torubeatTap in with Brian Funk: Instagram: @brianfunkmusicBrian's Website: https://brianfunk.com/Conversation Timeline:00:00 Intro01:45 Track 1 And Discussion15:30 Track 2 And Discussion25:05 Track 3 And Discussion36:40 Drops In The Bucket42:28 Following Personal Interest And Excitement43:51 Becoming an Ableton Certified Trainer46:45 Separation Between Music and Professional Life47:50 Burnout (Episode 16 Preview)48:00 OutroReferenced:How To Write One SongThe World Within A SongAnaphoraThanks for reading toru's Substack!

Corey Baker is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and Ableton Certified Trainer. Corey made a huge impact on the electronic music scene and toured the world as Kill Paris. He shares his workflow and techniques in his tutorials and courses, and hosts a weekly sample flip challenge. I spoke with Corey about his music, educational community, and production techniques. We discussed some of the newer features in Ableton Live 12.1, as well as the process of learning complex software to create music. Corey shared how being discovered by Skrillex on SoundCloud changed the course of his career. This episode is sponsored by Baby Audio, makers of incredible music software. Use the code MPP15 to save 15%! https://babyaud.io Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Takeaways: The early days of using Ableton Live involved a supportive community and tutorials helped in the learning process. Transitioning from hardware to digital plugins allowed for more flexibility and experimentation in music production. The MIDI tools and scale awareness in Ableton Live 12 provide a user-friendly way to explore music theory and create musical compositions. Balancing technical knowledge with creative exploration is important in music production Breaking the rules and trying new things can lead to unique and interesting results. The standalone version of Ableton Push has improved workflow and allows for a more immersive and enjoyable music-making experience. Reacting and responding to what you are creating in the moment is important for staying in a creative flow. Simplifying your setup and focusing on using default Ableton devices can help avoid getting caught up in technical details and allow for a more fluid creative process. Challenging oneself and embracing the struggle in the creative process leads to a deeper sense of satisfaction and connection with the music. The energy and process put into creating music can be felt by the listener, even if it's not consciously recognized. Bringing energy and enthusiasm to live performances is crucial for creating a great show and engaging the audience. Creating a comfortable and engaging atmosphere can help build a connection between the performer and the audience. Playing for smaller venues allows for more eye contact and a sense of community, while larger crowds can create a domino effect of energy. How platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube have played a significant role in the success of many musicians, providing opportunities for exposure and collaboration. Gamification and metrics in music production can provide valuable feedback and motivation for producers.

Yeuda Ben-Atar, aka Side Brain, is a musician, producer, and Ableton Certified Trainer. Yeuda has taught countless students both online and in person. He first caught my attention around 2010 using his Sega Dreamcast arcade stick and other video game controllers to perform with Ableton Live. Yeuda regularly releases Ableton Live Packs and tutorials and holds a weekly "Study Group" where he and participants explore music production in all different styles of music. Yeuda and I finally got to speak after years of following each other's work. He spoke about his unlikely path to finding himself at the center of controllerism and the LA Beat scene.

Jeff is the creator of one of my favorite MIDI controllers ever made: the Oakboard Mini.In this interview, Jeff talks about how he came up with the idea for the Oakboard Mini, and how that eventually grew into a fully-fledged music software and hardware company. I love Jeff's story because he never set out to start a company. He just started solving his own problems by learning to code. He built a small MIDI controller to do exactly what he needed it to do. Turns out he wasn't the only one experiencing those problems, and Oaktone was born!Jeff is an incredibly talented and endlessly curious person. In addition to owning and running Oaktone, Jeff is an Ableton Certified Trainer, a worship leader, songwriter, and producer. ★ Support this podcast ★

We had the pleasure of interviewing Laura Escudé over Zoom video! Los Angeles-based Future Classical artist and master technologist Laura Escudé has released her new EP ENOUGHNESS, that documents her journey to acceptance and self love. This past year of forced isolation pushed Escudé to confront her darkest inner demons and start the recovery process from a 20 year eating disorder. Escudé spent such a large portion of her life obsessing over her physical and not loving herself, which she wrote about on Medium for National Eating Disorder Awareness week, living a life that was not sustainable, both physically and mentally. Music is where Escudé feels the most free, and with ENOUGHNESS synthesized her skills as a classically-trained violinist and avant garde electronic producer, infusing neo-classical & sleek futuristic style with raw emotion to share her story.Technology is a second language for Escudé, who became the world's first Ableton Certified Trainer in 2008. In 2012, she founded Electronic Creatives, using her skills to hire and train programmers and playback engineers for artists including Logic, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Big Sean, Charli XCX, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Electronic Creatives has hosted several playback engineering training programs over the years, with the latest being MASTERTRACK Worldwide. Escudé brought massive productions to life for the biggest and most influential artists in the world including Kanye West, Jay Z, Bon Iver, Missy Elliot, Herbie Hancock, and television megabrand American Idol.These creative applications of technology made Escudé one of the world's most in-demand live show programmers and saw her touring extensively all over the world. With this level of success came the pressure to keep pushing herself to and in 2016, Escudé experienced awakening after tour burnout landed her in the hospital. The night before she went to the hospital she was on stage at Madison Square Garden performing with Kanye West for the Life of Pablo release, the night before playing a show in San Francisco, and the night before that on stage performing with Miguel at the Forum. This focus on her personal health and the health of her peers has given her a refreshed look on life, a newly lit creative fire that was funneled into the 4 songs on this EP. “I Love Me,” is a musical meditation on self love and was Escud'és mantra throughout the pandemic. "Can I Hold You Anymore?" was written for Andrew Huang's 4 Producers episode on YouTube, on which Escudé got the chance to collaborate with Jamie Lidell. “Embrace Your Shadow" was written with lyricist Lila Rose as another reminder to herself and all to love ourselves completely, even the darkest parts and “Unlimited Expansiveness” is an instrumental journey through space and time, to remind us to be expansive with our thinking. The more we focus on expanding, the faster we move through our limitations. “I use my compositions to practice embodied liberation and allow the creative space to be my teacher—to let the process be the process and let go of what it should be,” says Escudé. “I hope ENOUGHNESS becomes this for you too because you are ENOUGH.We want to hear from you!

In this episode, Laura Escudé takes us on her journey from violinist to adventures in Los Angeles as a seat filler for TV shows from Craig's list to market research to other one-off jobs. . . until she becomes a tech support staffer at M-Audio because of problems she had with her own keyboard. For listeners who are inspired by linear journeys, this is not one. Instead, Laura was launched from being laid off as the first Ableton Certified Trainer. An email got her working for Cirque du Soleil in playback. A phone call from all of her Ableton visibility brought her to Kanye West's audio engineer and then years of touring. Until it wasn't -- and she shares the story of how in 2017 she rebuilt her career about teaching and inspiration in audio engineering around “transmuting” creators - “to move from one form of energy into another.” Enjoy her story of building a global community of artists and creating new online programs ahead of the current virtual learning world. And enjoy her stories of what she now has built with the Transmute Accelerator and Transmute Academy.

Technology is a second language for Escudé, who became the world's first Ableton Certified Trainer in 2008. In 2012, she founded Electronic Creatives, using her skills to hire and train programmers and playback engineers for artists including Logic, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Big Sean, Charli XCX, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Metapattern, real name Peter Trimbacher, an Austrian born long-term resident of Australia is now based in Berlin. His focus is on a hardware and machine-based approach to live performance and production. Metapattern draws on elements of techno, noise, industrial, modular synth music, drone, melody, and atmosphere to create brooding electronic music performances. 2018 was a key year for the project, finding a home in machine-label (AU) for the deeper style releases though the output has recently expanded with faster paced and energetic offerings on Måinmise Records (Fr) and Ravensigh (Can). Outside of production and performance, Metapattern was involved with a local live electronic music collective who promoted diverse electronic music experiences. As an Ableton Certified Trainer, he works to foster new talent through user group meet-ups and has been involved with teaching for over a decade. The obsession with the techno culture leads to many trips to neighbouring cities and international expeditions. @mptrn

Lynden Williams is a producer from Salt Lake City, Utah, who makes music as Divorce Court. Divorce Court is a chill wave, lo-fi project electronic project inspired by Lynden’s memories of youth and old home movies. I appreciate the consistent theme of faded memories and emotions, which the lo-fi nature of the music and his live visuals of old home videos bring to life. Lynden and I spoke quite a lot about producing music, arrangements, and live performance. We spoke about the challenge we all face in believing in a musical project long enough to bring it into existence. We covered a range of topics that left me feeling inspired and better equipped to make music. Listen on iTunes or Stitcher or Google Play This episode is sponsored by Splice.

Merlyn Silva is a musician, sound artist, and educator from Denmark. His work spans many different genres, with a focus on electronics and glitch. A background in drama helps Merlyn shape both his music and teachings. I had a great conversation with Merlyn, spanning a wide range of topics. He's got some great thoughts on being productive. I especially liked his "hats" method. In this talk, Merlyn shares his thoughts on making music, teaching, and his musical collaboration with a cup of coffee. Merlyn's enthusiasm is infectious. Enjoy this talk! *A little disclaimer... Unfortunately, there were some errors on my end of the audio. I believe it was merely a bad microphone cable that caused some bothersome clicks and pops. I actually found that adding a layer of vinyl record crackling helped to mask the glitches and make the listening experience more enjoyable. Although it's certainly not ideal, I don't think that it takes away from the valuable wisdom Merlyn shared with me.

My friend Mark Mosher doesn't get adamant too often, but when he does, I have to listen. He was adamant about getting into his friend AfroDJMac, and the work that he's been doing on Ableton Live packs. I jumped into my research (i.e., I took things for a quick drive then started digging deeper), and was really impressed with the work. Reached out to see if he'd be up for a quickie chat, and he jumped on the opportunity. So you get this - my Thanksgiving gift to you. Great talk with a really insightful programmer, sound designer, songwriter and Ableton Certified Trainer. I always like when someone opens a door for me to explore. Brian's ideas about vocal music (especially mixed with electronic music concepts) are really unique, and the way that he mixes music and teaching is also very interesting. Listen to his work here, and enjoy the discussion!
