Most of us are just a few hours away from making music that we love listening to like this song that I made in just a few minutes with just a year of experience making music as a hobby! I named this song "Pentatonic Spacer in Lost Arch" based on the names of the scale and presets I used to compose my 27th track since I started making music for fun in 2017. I love listening to music that is beautifully instrumental with no lyrics and no words!
My intention is to make intelligent dance music or IDM that brings the fun of electronic dance music or EDM into a more thoughtful realm of less predictable and more experimental realm.
I also aim to spend the smallest amount of time possible making a track because this allows me to keep listening to a new song I have made each week and gives me the best odds for composing a masterpiece!
How did I compose this track?
Using my digital audio workstation Ableton Live 9 Suite, I picked the presets and synthesizers below to begin!
- PL Spacer 7S preset on Serum synthesizer with MIDI effects putting notes in the major pentatonic scale using major chords and an arpeggiator.
- BA Ampology [CFA] preset on Serum synthesizer with MIDI effects for major pentatonic scale plus major chords.
- Lost arch preset in Sytrus synthesizer with the Push 2 set on major pentatonic scale.
Next, I recorded actually playing the song in live with Wirecast 8 on my Mac Pro using a screencapture card to get the video and mixed the audio live on the recording with over 400 randomly selected drum loops allowing me to play and record the song in real time on the first try.
Then, I chopped the beginning and the end of the recording off in Camtasia with an export into a WAV file for @dsound and an MP4 for YouTube.
Finally, I uploaded both files and then am able to link back and forth to help cross promote to listeners! The video is available on YouTube for those of us preferring to watch the live creative process!
I am grateful for all that I have learned from my mentor Tomas George with Digital Music Masters at digitalmusicmasters.com without whose help I doubt I would have stuck with producing music through so many changes in my business and personal life!
Thank you for reading about my 27th song uploaded to YouTube since I first started producing music in 2017 and my fifth song uploaded exclusively via audio available for free with CC0 to dsound.audio/#/@jerrybanfield which is on the Steem blockchain!
Love,
Jerry Banfield

Hi Jerry, wanted to discuss with you about delegating SP in your venture. Im in your discord channel or please find me in steemit.chat @amreshchandra.
Im amazed how you find time to do everything. Would love to learn some time management skills from you aswell :)
Right? That's something I'd like to hear about: Time management.
Thank you are you Rich in discord? For delegating Steem power this tutorial I made may help! https://steemit.com/steem/@jerrybanfield/65wju0wr
Hey Jerry, yeah ..please do check this post
@jerrybanfield I am listening to it right now. I Love STEEMIT and all of the different things that it allows you to bring to the table. Just keep on Bringing it Jerry !
Jerry, I liked a lot of what I heard. I think you are very talented and have a lot of potential. I just wanted to share with you a couple of my impressions. I found on multiple occasions that as I was drawing in closer and closer to the mood and feeling of the music, there were interruptions of discord introduced. Namely, "voices" at differing timing. By that I mean that it seemed to me like there were measures where the timing of certain sounds we're not harmonious with the overall timing of the performance. Thereby causing a distraction.
Otherwise, I was enjoying it. I plan on listening to your other works. I'm quite new here on steemit and I appreciate the boost your posts have given me. Keep up the great work! @jerrybanfield
Hi @jerrybanfield! If you like to experiment with real sounds, I travel around the world and records sounds that are all free ot use so feel free to use these sounds. On my website are already more than 40 GB and there are no strings attached.
@jerrybanfield To be honest. I didn't like it. It was noisy and had wierd tones and rhythm. It seemed like you are still dabbling in music production. But I do feel that with more experience with the keys, you'd make better music☺
Upvoted because I think it is very important for people to share how they really feel about music and art. While on the one hand you really don't want to hurt the artists feelings. On the other hand, you also don't want to deprive them of the opportunity to grow and improve upon their work. Let's just say for example that an artist (that has no sense of proper proportions) is never told by the viewers of his work, that they see some real problems with his/her drawings. Instead, they all tell the artist that the work looks great for fear of hurting the artist's feelings. Or worse, they are just sucking up to the artist because they want his approval in return for his/her approval. The artist won't improve because they don't always see the weak areas in their work. When we can share in kind and thoughtful ways with each other some constructive criticism, there opens up an opportunity for improvement.
I think too many people here on steam are afraid to share constructive criticism. My guess is that they are fearful of missing out on upvotes. I feel like this is a weakness in the steemit system and the steemit community.
@eddy2cul thank you for saying you listened to it and did not like it in a respectful way because your feedback helps me accept not every song will be amazing and to be grateful you listened! I find it challenging to like a song myself and look for the honesty in the comments from those not liking the music because that is real!
It's great to hear you say that! You're avoiding "the bubble trap" that a lot of celebrities (yes, you are a celebrity) fall into. Keep it real!
Nice soundtrack...
I love it!
I think this will be on my playlist for a while...
Thumbs up @jerrybanfield
Very good
Hi @jerrybanfield..honestly i just learnt now of your music carrier, it is beautiful you have something doing that keeps you busy, about the production aspect...i was totally lost, could not understand the technical terms. But its a good thing your doing, hope i get to listen to more of your productions.
This is thought provoking...
How I wish I had any musical instrument, I would have loved to be under your tutelage @jerrybanfield

You are very talented person!
Vaya! También eres un buen músico. Sos una persona bastante talentosa @jerrybanfield.
congratulations on your hard work, I hope you can make a much more powerful work ..!!
This music is OK, but as compared to your other compositions, this is not that good. In general, I like your posts @jerrybanfield.
Mona thank you because this was my feeling with it as well! For better or worse I commit to sharing the good, bad, and the ugly because I realize often I am not the best judge of what others might like! I would not be surprised if my most popular song ended up being one I thought was crap!
I like your dance videos with your daughter :)
" For better or worse I commit to sharing the good, bad, and the ugly." In other words @jerrybanfield is for real. Thanks Jerry. We need more of this outlook in social media.
The sharing you have made is pretty good. The soundtrack you made is very beautiful. I also thank you for the information you provided. Useful information. It was explanatory for friends to deal with Dsound. I wish you continued success :) @jerrybandfield
Nice post
Good wok 😍
I also produce electronic dance music Mr @jerrybanfield. I love instrumentals especially through headsets. I make beatz for fun and I've captured some of them here: https://soundcloud.com/kofibeatz. I'm so excited for Dsound. I was wondering when this would happen. Shoutout for the revelation my sir..
muy parecido a mi amigo maravilla eres maravilloso
I know you are trying and still learning edm production, but It's a very bad and chaotic music for now, maybe with some time as you practice more it will start to sounds better ;) I wish you all the best.
Thank you @bergstone for listening and sharing your experience with me here! I will be testing a bit more organization in some of the newer songs!
Jerry, you jack of all trades!
Thank for writing @jerrybanfield
Very interest

I recorded almost 13 albums using Ableton!!! Such an awesome program... I used to call it poor-man's-ProTools! LOL...
@occupywallets I reacted to this with a smile!
I just had 2 members of the EU Parliament tweet a song I did about Monsanto, under the name The Eatles... I did a post on steemit about it, to try and save the food supply!
I'm new to steemit and this is the first i've watched your digital music making. I thought you were only good at digital marketing, but I was wrong. You have another side of talent to offer.
Jerry, do you ever sing while making music on the keyboard? Just wondering?

Hi @jerrybanfield , not sure where to comment about this , but I sent you 6.00 SD and only got a 12.00 SD upvote on a post I did in @momskitchen blog. While in the "bot tracker " it said i would get a 22.00 SD upvote ! I also vote you as steem witness , I dont usually send so much for a upvote , and I would have made more money if i would have split it up in three different bots , but instead i decided to support you . can you check into this please! thanks , i wont be sending so much again. I just spent 3.00 SD on buildawhale that will pay out the same as you paid me 12.00SD

Steemit supposed to be the platform of the future. Why this track on trending and others buried on the bottom never noticed? Something is clearly broken. I mean, is it really the best of all and on top for everyone to listen. Really?
thank you nice music
absolutely awesome sound
