untilAre the drum parts in your arrangements "too static," "on autopilot," or "super basic?" The Sages are here to fill in the gaps! Join @paradiddlesjosh for a live workshop on drum part writing - what it entails AND how to program! This 3-4 hour event will consist of a primer on notation (sheet music and piano roll via the General MIDI map) balancing repetition with variety (through dynamics, articulation, and the application of patterns and fills) a discussion of "feel" and the creation of "grooves" a practical demonstration of the terminology in action, writing new drum parts for a well-known VGM track Everything will be demonstrated with free tools (where possible) and some of the more prominent tools in the community. VST instruments, MIDI files, and links to further learning will be made available to EVERYONE at the end of the webinar; please see the VOD description for links!

Have you, or someone you know, ever tried to mix guitar or bass tracks (or even virtual versions of them!) and felt way in over your head? Like nothing you do is working and it sounds like garbage? Well fret less, because The Sages have you covered! Join @pixelseph for a live workshop on guitar/bass tone shaping - what it entails AND how to use it in a remix! This 3-4 hour event will consist of general terminology (how stringed instruments like guitar and bass produce sound, what an amplifier is and does, what gain is in the context of amplified instruments) basic differences in instruments (pickups, strings, amp types, speaker types) a practical demonstration of the terminology in action dialing in a similar tone across 3 amp simulators dialing in a clean tone, a crunchy rhythm tone, and a lead tone (guitar) dialing in a clean tone and a kanky tone (bass) working stems into a mix Everything will be demonstrated with free tools (where possible) and some of the more prominent tools in the community. These tools - DI stems, virtual instruments, amp simulators, and impulse responses - will be made available to EVERYONE at the end of the webinar; please see the VOD description for links!

It's dangerous to go alone, take this! Come join us for Office Hours, a time and place where you can ask your burning VGM remix questions, get feedback on your WIPs, and/or learn some tips, tricks, and techniques to take to your next project! This weekly event is an open forum for remixers (both budding and established) to bring their WIPs forward for an extra set of ears and eyes. You do not need any audio engineering or mixing skills to participate. We encourage you to bring your skill to the stage, even if it's none! These weekly-formatted events take place in the Discord Office Hours stage channel. Audience members can participate via chat or voice (raise your hand while in the audience using the button to request to join the stage). Screen-sharing is helpful for visuals but not required.
