Change of direction

Hi everyone. My PROFUSE apologies once again for virtually abandoning this blog. As I indicated in my previous post, a few things have happened in my life that distracted me from my 307. So now that I have a few minutes, this is as good a time as any to let you know my vision for the future of 307 beats.

I managed to scrape together enough money to purchase an Elektron MachineDrum UW+ and a DAW-based recording system, all of which has opened up a lot of doors in my music-making. Accordingly, I won't be using the 307 nearly as much, and almost certainly not as the centerpiece of my studio or live performances.

Does this mean the end of 307 beats? Not at all. I still plan to keep the blog active for the benefit of anyone who has questions. As you write in with questions, I'll post them and other readers' answers (plus mine if I have any).

I intend to continue using my 307 for sample generation, so now and then, I may post with tips and tricks I discover. (And as I've said before, if you send me ideas, I'll be happy to post them as full entries and give you credit.)

In any case, posts will be irregular at best...it's probably a good idea to subscribe by RSS feed if you haven't yet.

Happy beatmaking, and I'll see you around here occasionally!
