Hey SCS fam, in this episode, we're talking about something really close to both our hearts: not taking yourself too seriously as an artist. We share how pressure from social media, analytics, and scene expectations can kill your creativity – and why it's so important to follow your inner compass. Miles tells the story of how he almost didn't release his most successful track because he thought it didn't fit his channel. We discuss why authenticity wins long-term, how to not lose your creative voice, and why it's okay to just be weird. Plus: Mordio gets a sample challenge that you can take on too. Let's go!

Hey SCS fam, We're back with something special - a deep dive into our current favorite Ableton Live techniques! Mordio just returned from an incredible ambient festival in Spain (complete with human towers!), and we're both buzzing with creative energy.In this episode, we share six creative methods we're using right now: macro randomization for instant inspiration, sequencer-based modulation for that modular vibe, probability arpeggiation magic, phaser as a full synthesizer (seriously underrated!), Roar's feedback mode for melodic percussion, and the power of loopers for hardware jamming. We've got some live audio demos throughout, so grab your headphones and vibe with us.

We tackle perfectionism in music production - the creative killer that stops artists from releasing their work. Learn why 80% finished is better than never released, how to break the endless tweaking cycle, and develop healthy creative habits. We share personal stories about overcoming self-doubt, building confidence through frequent releases, and why your "30% might be 100% for others." Discover practical workflows for sound exploration, the power of habit formation, and why imperfections often create the most interesting music. Essential listening for producers struggling with perfectionism, fear of criticism, and creative blocks that prevent finishing tracks.
