As artists, it's so easy to get caught in a rut of anxiety; sometimes to the extent that it's actually detrimental to our creative lives. Over the years I've found a few ways to help combat this issue and I wanted to share them not only to benefit you all, but also as a reminder to myself when I start getting caught up in the struggles of day to day life as a composer.

I react to insane Hollywood film score production. This episode is focused on massive, epic percussion featured in big blockbuster films such as Mad Max Fury Road, The Dark Knight, Man Of Steel, The Last Samurai and The Island. Composed by the masters, Hans Zimmer, Junkie XL, Steve Jablonsky & James Newton Howard, some of these scores have heavily influenced me over the years. My Sounds: www.au...

I decided to take 2 old acoustic guitars and combine them into a 12 string guitar. After tuning all the strings to the same note, I sampled this experimental instrument and created a virtual instrument in Kontakt. Something I quickly realized was that this guitar would not stay in tune if I used the frets. Even a capo wouldn't work, so I had to fine tune each string every time I wanted to play ...

Do you work too much? Do you live a balanced life? Are you a music producer? As a composer & entrepreneur, it's easy to get so caught up in work that you lose a healthy balance in life which ultimately leads to negative mental health effects. I discuss this topic while riding my bike in the countryside (one of my favorite things to do to clear my head). My Sounds - www.audioollie.com/

We spent over an hour discussing Kontakt, using Kontakt's stock effects, modulation, building multis, working on Audio Ollie projects and much more. Come join the composer hangout and leave questions in the comments.

The ultimate acoustic treatment shootout. Over a few days I tested a variety of different acoustic panels to see how much you really need to get good results. The cost of treating a home studio can add up very quickly, so I wanted to see if I could get away with spending less. I tested everything from acoustic curtains, to corner soffits and ceiling clouds. The results were very interesting.. L...
