Mobile Studio
Hi there! I finally decided to put together a mobile studio so I can keep working even when I’m away from home. I was curious to hear what your mobile setup looks like, if you’re using one. Here’s what I’m currently working with: - MSI 15" PC with 64 GB RAM - 2 TB NVMe SSD for a selection of libraries that let me sketch or build a full track - Arturia MicroLab MK3 - iPad Pro as a second screen when needed - Stream Deck Mobile on my phone Still refining it, but it’s already proving pretty useful.

@Giuseppe Corcella I'll be building something similar. Being able to get something meaningful done while traveling is a big help. I'm split between two locations. I didn't know about Stream Deck Mobile. I'll be looking into that. Thanks for the helpful post. 🤘🏻

@Giuseppe Corcella I've seen the hardware. I never knew they had an app version. It does look like it would help improve my workflow.
Best places to get feedback on cinematic music?
Hey all, I'm working full time but when I have time I'm producing cinematic music. However outside of this community I dont really have friends or other groups of folks that I can bounce tracks off of. All my other friends produce different kinds of music and/or aren't interested in what im doing HA. Anyways, do you guys have a good place for getting feedback on cinematic tracks you're working on by other professionals or folks in similar genre? Thanks so much, also interested in hearing other peoples WIP tracks.

Creative + Business Balance
Something I’ve been thinking about: balancing creativity and business. Some days I’m deep in songwriting mode, other days I’m learning how to position myself better as an artist. How do you all split your time between making music and building the business side of your career? Curious what routines work for you.

@Jessica Maddie not so much it's just a somewhat difficult to get into the creative space depending on the workday.

@Frank Herrlinger I appreciate your insight. I've been trying to balance the artistry with a full-time teaching gig. They don't always go together.

Composing underscore-ish Tracks (Advise and Exercises)
I like melodies. In fact, maybe i like them a little bit too much 😄. When i start a new piece i normally start with the melody and then find fitting chords to accompany it. Most of the times this works ok but when it comes to writing an underscore type like track, i really struggle, because my melodies tend to be to active. So basically the typical problem of overcomplicating things 😅. Can you guys recommend some sort of exercises to get better at this type of composing / Do you have some tipps , when it comes to writing such tracks ? Thanks in advance :)

I hadn't really thought about it too much until I read your post. Guitar is my main instrument so most of my melodic stuff comes out when I play guitar. It seems I write tracks that I would want to play guitar over, but don't. https://youtu.be/kRwJ3Xun_W8?si=_ZeyjU7YCZMIUDZh
