This post is collecting the four condensed live stream videos from November 2023, which is still many hours of content to see and learn from.
A LOT of my time goes into these streams and edited videos, and I’m committing to doing them all year. Support these efforts with the YouTube Channel Membership, or Patreon.
We try Chance Machine VST + overkill fx chains – Nov 3 2023
This here is highlights from the November 3 live stream where we tried out Chance Machine vst (free plugin) for MIDI probability sequencing, Arturia Analog Lab update (free version available), SoundToys Little Plate reverb (free right now), and play with some stupid fx chains with too many plugins.

All the things that happened in the stream last Friday.
This stream included Processing sounds from my kitchen with FilterFreak, awesome scripts from NVK and ACenden, lots of Q&A, and creating a 4-track fx matrix to process sounds in an interactive way.

Recording Sound Design Source In My Kitchen – Nov 24 2023
I’ve been watching a ton of sound design videos recently and it got me to set up a new portable recording rig and in this stream we set up in the kitchen to record various sounds for my library. After that we went through the recordings to see what was captured, and my process of selection and clean up.
I finished editing these sounds after the stream and shared with my Patreon and YouTube channel members on Dec 5th.
