Most everything I produce is made just to be manipulated live.. Im kind of taking the long road because for me NextStep style is based on building a track to 3d animation/video manipulation and then adjusting the audio to fit the video, and then vice versa till I can get it fuzed into something strange. Problem is atm Im working fulltime so Im spending most of my time with elements of different things which later will be combined. Im coming from a MTV background where all of this was just daily work but only for 5-20 second clips. 12 years of MTV and some DMT has warped my view of making generic things. I tend to stay away from the formula which makes things go slower.. And my current job is way to dangerous in terms of time. I can be called at any time of the day or night.. which never allows me to focus on anything for too long. 😞 ---

> [@Smaze](#): > > What is “NextStep”? NextStep=Video/audio blend The name is appropriate because pure music has not changed since the begining. The genre is beyond just music. Installations, interactive elements, visualizations, video sampling.. all that stuff.. is NextStep. Here is something I made around 6 years ago with a friend.. we bounced the music to the video and the video to the music.. old school stuff.. but kind of an idea Ive been getting back into again..

Mainly aftereffects.. been using this almost 18 years now. You have the most control with AE over any other program bar none. Photoshop with wheels is what we always called it. ---

> [@Kodiak\_Records](#): > > looks awesome!..theres functionality to those tags on the wall? I normally use the tags on the APC or Maschine or Impulse controller. The wall is just where I stick them until I need them. The wall is actually a felt greenscreen for compositing video or stuff like that. All tags are laminated 10mil thick plastic with velcro(hook side) backing. Then the controllers have the loop side of the velcro ---

> [@Smaze](#): > > Wow, much better! > > Why did you ditch the MBP? The computer I think to some degree atleast for me … Limits what I can do. Obviosly I can run this whole thing into my soundcard and mix it in Ableton.. but Once I start doing that.. I fixate on different VSTs and how they will change the incoming sounds. This is fun, but I then spend half my time away from the actuall drum machines and need MIDI controllers to do the ableton stuff.. which I have plenty of.. but it becomes a situation that you need 6 arms, two heads.. And I just get nothing accomplished. sure its fun to jam around with the computer and gear.. I just am trying to flow more with hardware for the moment. I guess its just the limiting of options that allows you to just accept things and move on I had one setup where I use Maschine instead of Ableton and have all the incoming signals routed so I can use Machine to mute or solo or then have FX and stuff to controll and so forth. Im waiting on getting an Innerclocksystem because of the DAW to hardware sync problem that cannot be fixed 100% without it. Nothing is worse than some slight offset that changes around and puts beats out of sync ---
