End of October!

So got a bunch to talk about. So sit down, have a drink, all that wonderful shit!

First off I want to thank all my loyal fans who were with me from the beginning, who told me I wasn't a terrible DJ back when I was a terrible DJ. All of you who were like I don't like dubstep, but you make me a believer! All of you who helped me get my Starcraft Dubstep Mix to almost 10k views. Thanks to you guys Youtube opt'd me in their new monetize program where I pick the videos I want to monetize. So now I can get some revenue from my hard work, and maybe be able to afford new gear so I can perform live at a BarCraft. So I will try and post more videos more often for your viewing pleasure!

Another THING! Our stream is currently in the application process of becoming partner as we should be able to fall under the new requirements. So you can always help by just tuning in anytime @ twitch.tv/zingking if you follow us it would also help a lot. Anyways due to the fact we are trying to get partner, the members of OMW Productions and I have come to the conclusion that we need to make the stream a more professional, high quality, diverse channel for your viewing pleasure. So we will be implementing a weekly schedule of shows and such, and the schedule will be posted on omwproductions.com and even though most of the final decisions on shows have not been finalized, there is a guarentee that DJ Wilma's Game On will be a definite addition to the new schedule.

Producing is still in the shitter for me, but I am working hard to get a song done.

Much love, DJ Wilma out

Producing - The tale of two worlds

Being a DJ for over a year make me think I was due for a change, a change into producing. With this in mind, I figured with my vast knowledge in how music flows, and all the different dynamics I could just jump right into it. How I was so poorly mistaken.

After the great succession of my SC Mix, I felt it was time to make my own music. Spinning and mixing tracks is fun, but it just doesnt give me the fufillment that I feel producing to give. When I make a really good mix, people always say 2 things. Really nice mix man... and... Can I get the playlist? I hate that question. It's like, thanks for putting a ton of work in your mix, but all I really care about is supporting the artist. I feel like an advertisement on a website, it shows you something, but thats it. Very few people make it as DJ's that don't produce. So I jumped in.

I bought myself a midi-controller, got my hands on a legal copy of Ableton Live, and... nothing. It wasn't like I just got to making music, these programs have one hell of a learning curve. I had so many ideas playing in my head, but had no real way of translating them into this program. How the hell was I to make an epic wobble? I had clips I wanted to use, but how could I properly sample and manipulate them? It wasn't like sitting down to a piano and playing the keys you heard in your head, it was like openning the electrical box at your house as you were to setup solar panels, may think its a simple concept, but in application its much harder than it seems.

So now I am going to stop DJing, stop trying to fiddle with this program, and spend the next 2 weeks watching tutorials and running through them. I want to know this program like I know my brother, everything that works and doesn't. So wish me luck in the journey of accumulating knowledge, and hopefully I'll come out the other end a music producer.
