I get a LOT of questions about how to do sidechaining (or, more accurately, sidechaining compression in FL Studio 9. This is a very common effect in dance music, so I recorded a short video explaining how it’s done. Check it out below, or on the Video Tutorials page! I’ve also added two new written guides to the Guides page for those of you interested in the business end of music.

Are you a composer, songwriter, producer or any other kind of DIY musician, hobbyist or professional? If so, you’ll be pleased to learn about my revamped Guides page! All video tutorials can now be found in the Videos subsection. The new written content thus far is being ported from SoundTempest, but I’m planning on writing and releasing tons of new stuff too.

Got a request for a new guide, tutorial or video? Let me know and post here!

If you look at the navigation bar, you’ll now see a link to Services, a page that outlines all the custom and commissioned stuff I can do for you. These services range from custom music composition (film, TV, radio, DVD, podcast, or anything in between), music production and engineering (for fellow musicians and artists), synthesis and sound design (great for composers and producers looking for unique sounds) and sample library development.

I’ve been writing custom music, mixing, mastering, designing sounds and creating sample libraries for awhile: this is just the first time I’ve made a comprehensive page for it! Whether your budget has six zeros or just one, I can work with you on just about any project or deadline. This is what I eat, sleep and breathe, so please don’t hesitate to send me an email if you’re interested!

I regularly receive emails from individuals or companies who are looking to license my music for podcasts, video games, compilations, DVDs films, and other projects. So, I’ve created a brand-new Licensing Page where you can input the details of your project, get a quote and license a song… automatically!

If you want to skip directly to the store, here’s the link. Right now, you can license ANY song from Antigravity as well as a few other originals. Whether you’re doing a podcast, student film, major theatrical release or anything in between, you can custom-tailor a license for your needs. I’ll also be uploading more music soon, including the Fittest OST.

Enjoy!

While you can stream and download my remixes and original songs from the Music page, now you can download MP3s even more easily at the new Free MP3s directory!

Besides access to all of my video game remixes, various originals and non-video game remixes, I’ve also added the six winners from my Antigravity remix contest.

Once you’re at the Free MP3s page, just click on the directory you want and download away!

The web store is now back online! While you’re checking it out, take a look at the Soundware category, where you can find my newest library of Zebra 2 (Mac/Win synthesizer VST) presets.

While mucking around in the website e-commerce backend, I apparently triggered some setting that re-sent a bunch of purchase receipts. If you received a purchase receipt erroneously, just ignore it – it’s purely a database glitch. You weren’t charged!

Update: Now the entire store is, temporarily, down for an upgrade. It should be back within the next 24 hours if all goes well. Sorry for any inconvenience! If you want to purchase my new Zebra 2 preset collection, you can simply PayPal me $5 (for the upgrade) or $30 (if you didn’t have the older collection). My PayPal is aaversa (at) gmail (dot) com.
