About me:
My name is Anthony Chisnall. I'm a musician & songwriter.
My channel is these things:
1. A place to share my songs - via various 'Back on Track' video series - in which you'll see each song idea evolve step-by-step, with me (hopefully!) improving my song-writing skills as we go.
2. An outlet for me to discuss all things musical - including technical break-downs of software and tools that I use, as well as more wide-ranging discussions of topics that interest me.
I play the guitar (electric, acoustic, and bass), and record all of my own synth-based sounds myself too, but I can't sing very well (huge understatement!), and so my wife, Pauline, who has a lovely singing voice, has come to my rescue. You'll hear her on all of my songs.
All of my music is written in Steinberg's Cubase.
I try very hard to make my videos PRACTICAL and no-nonsense - if I don't use a feature, I'm not going to waste your time trying to sound like an expert on it! This is the stuff I use day-to-day, so I think that's also what you'd like to hear me talking about.

I am learning disabled with ASD & auditory processing difficulties, this makes it tough for me to follow instructions & retain my concentration. I am so glad I found your videos because you don't waste a word, or pad out your explanations like so many others do, with, how it sounds to me, a lot of word salad dressing. I have learned more in your videos these past few weeks, than I have in the past few years & I wanted to leave a comment as an expression of thanks for your waffle free, clear & very informative explanations.
Many thanks.

Hi, thank you for the video!
Is there any way to use expression maps for key switches that needs to be put in between two notes (slides for example?) without using the 'direction' type?

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Not that I know of. That's really Direction's remit, and the only way I'm aware that that job can be done.

[@TheAtheistworld]

So basically these maps engage different sets of samples of an instrument?? Right? Thnxx brother ❤

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Exactly. The higher-end sample players such as Kontakt and Halion almost always have multiple "banks" of sounds that are accessible from these key switches, so it turns one instrument into many at the press of a single key.

Hello, can anyone tell me what the machine with the square white buttons is please? Or something similar that does the same job. Thanks.
Good video,👍

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Thanks :) It's a Native Instruments Maschine.

[@FlatTire]

Great video! Does anybody know if there's a user download base or something where people share their expression maps for certain instruments?? Thanks

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not aware of any such community database :(
