In these virtual walkings in search for the perfect controller, I discovered Livid, a very nice company that made controllers in a more DIY style.
#Audiosauna midi controller how to
I am a guy who likes to learn from time to time I decide to learn something new… It was when the thirst of learning got mixed with an empty pocket that something clicked: “I’ll learn how to build my own controllers, so I can save some money and even make some to sell.” And that was it. Anyway, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
It was all very cool, lots o fun, like how working with art should (or could) be, but one day it arrived, the graduation.īeing a nerd musician in Brazil is not easy: earning money, working with musical composition, even more in the southern of the country, is not easy! Making money with music is difficult anywhere, actually! Buying all those mega expensive controllers, is, most of the time, unfeasible. During that time, I flirted with programming to be able to develop my own “artistic / musical” softwares. During my undergrad, I got deeper into electronic music and multimedia art, going increasingly to the nerd side of the force. But… graduating in music, mainly in Brazil, is not that great! I did my bachelors in music composition, at Federal University of Pelotas (Brazil) and did an exchange program at California State University – Long Beach (USA). Pursuing a music degree is wonderful: you learn, you meet fantastic people, it opens your mind and takes you to places you never imagined. I went from a musician who had never soldered a button to someone who owns a company focused on building midi controllers and is currently doing a Masters degree in Music Technology at Georgia State University, researching and building some musical paraphernalia.Today, I tell you how learning to build my own MIDI controllers made me save a lot of money, besides changing my life. Beginning of 2015… I had just finished my music Bachelors in Brazil with lots of ideas in my head, but can’t say the same about money in my pocket.
