Time to vote for the theme of Proper Samples Vol. 6!
Volume 5 is here! What a dope theme, Old School Samples. I've never really sample dug like that and it opened my eyes to a new approach! Let's get some dope themes going for the next pack!This last pack had a lot of samples due to the nature of the pack, generally a pack will have 30 samples in it. More or less may be included depending on the theme.Since we did Tops Only in December, I'm gonna wait a bit to bring that topic back!Prop...
Proper Samples Vol. 5 - Old School | OUT NOW!
Wowwwzaaaa this is a big big one. I dug into a tonnnn of tracks for these samples.I want to set a first disclaimer in letting you know that THIS IS NOT A FULL BEAT BUILDING PACK. I did not make this pack with the intention for you to be able to build a full track using it. I simply grabbed the best samples I could from a large selection of old school songs and manipulated them to be new sounds. That said, I did try to toss something together real...
Breaking down this INSANE new song I started + Samples Preview!
Holy shiizzz this ones gonna be huge, thought you guys might want to be the first ears on it!
PRESETS WEEK 17
HeyooooTried to focus more on some stuff other than basses. Looking at some FX, leads, pads in this one. Gonna diversify a bit more, I've made so so soooo many basses. There will always be 1 or 2 per pack, and eventually I'll go back to making a lot. But I found in my packs that I was running out of other things to use, so I thought I'd help us out!
Sample pack coming in hot…
So usually I do 30 sound sample packs, but this pack full of old samples is probably gonna have much more. I’m having SUCH a blast making this, and they’re gonna be so useful for y’all. 80s/70s drum one shots, drum loops, synth one shots/loops, stabs, wow. Comin Wednesday 🔥 Presets Monday!

Hey guys!Happy New Year to all of you! Hope you had a relaxing holiday break and maybe got to spin some tunes 🙏🏼 I really appreciate you all jumping on here and supporting. It’s such a massive help to keep me going.My end of the year was spent scrambling to get work done and also scrambling to find down time. I did manage to squeeze a day or two in of just relaxing and making some good Proppa music. Time to take 2023 in full stride!I’ve...
FULL SERUM WALKTHROUGH. HAPPY HOLIDAYS <3
Hey guys,Pretty sure I made lots of mistakes here and should probably edit it, but f it lol. I figured some of you guys might benefit from this. I'm taking a week off of presets here with the holiday, just trying to relax. So I figured instead I'd do a video breaking down every little corner of Serum, or at least how I interpret it.Happy Holidays to you all, much love. Did some shouts out and I'm sure I missed some of you, but know th...

Serum Presets Week 15!!! Watch me make probably the best bass I've ever made
Ayooo! Didn't ask for any requests but figured I'd flip on the camera for this one. Sorry I haven't been too active on Discord recently. Doing everything I could beat the learning curve with my new gig.Was planning on releasing a remix for patreon this week, but I was also trying to get my Always On Time remix out to the public and I'm just stacked up with shit to do.With that said I'm gonna flip on the camera either tonight o...
Proper Serum Presets Week 14!
Here's a video of me making the sound from Flume's remix of Hyperparadise.So sorry for the delay today guys but it's here! Had my schedule all confused.Focused on Basses and synths that could be used malleably as leads, support sounds, etc. Really really hyped about how the basses in this pack came out. Overall hyped about this one. I feel like I get better and better every pack.Can you believe I've done nearly 150 presets for you...
Comment with a sound from a song you want me to recreate for Monday's Serum pack

As an early Holiday gift, I put together an extra large pack for you guys! With over 50 individual samples and 5 full beat construction kits!Hollyyyy shiiiiii this is by far the best pack I've ever made.

Serum Presets - Week 13
Yooo! As explained in the video, I upgraded my setup major here and video quality is about to jump.With that said, the quality in this one isn't to my standards yet. I was only able to get it into 720p and the volumes were off, but I'm still learning. I promise by the next video we'll be squared away with a perfect setup. I also plan on starting some streaming on Twitch soon!Regardless, the information in this video is key. Especially...

Journey - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) [Proppa Treatment] + PSA
Happy Sunday ya'll <3 I'm planning on dropping this Wednesday, thinking I might hit youtube without the download tomorrow but unsure. Regardless, wanted to give you guys first dibs!It's hard for me to say "I put a lot into this track" because I'm not the kind of guy to EVER spend more than 10-15 hours song unless a label is forcing me. "Putting a lot into a track" comes in the form of emotional and mental attention...
Breaking down my Journey remix!
Big treat here, talking bout the Journey remix I made this week. Enjoy!

MY MASTERING CHAIN!
I've been asked a lot, I've considered many times whether or not I should share the secret sauce throughout my career. I knew when I started the patreon I'd be putting this out there eventually. Let's jump into what makes my shiii bussin'.
Proppa - Hangin’ On [Patreon Exclusive]
Hey guys,This is gonna be a TLDR post, so if you just wanna download the song, just know that it is highly emotional for me. I know a lot of ya are here for the tools but maybe you’re here for the feels too.I made this song exactly 1 year and 3 days ago. I didn’t even realize until I went to open the project for a remaster and saw the date. I haven’t listened to or played it in a DJ set since the weekend I made it, it’s just been collecti...
PRESETS WEEK 10! WOOOOOO
Ayy 10 weeks of presets! That's over 100 serum presets I've created for you guys. Holy shit, I can't believe all we've accomplished on here so far. I've been sent so many videos of ya'll using these and it means a lot knowing they're working out for you! I sure as hell use them myself!That said, I think these are some of the best sounds I've ever made. I'm just continually dialing in my sound design skills beca...

Vote on the theme of December's Sample Pack!
Sooo I've found 30 is kind of the sweet spot for samples per month. I don't have all the time in the world, and I want to make sure the samples I do create are all highest quality possible. That said, despite the mainstay kick+claps in each pack, we're gonna start theming packs. I've come up with some theme ideas below, comment if you have ideas and I'll add them to the poll! Think I'm gonna close this poll Wednesday Novem...
