About Me
Hi, I’m Ricardo Preschel, and I’ve been deeply immersed in the world of music and technology since the 1990s. From working with early music sequencers and analog electronics to exploring cutting-edge AI-driven music tools, my passion for combining sound and innovation has only grown over the years. This blog is my space to share that journey, where music and technology meet to create exciting new possibilities.
Why I Started This Blog
With decades of experience as a music producer, sound engineer, and tech enthusiast, I’ve seen firsthand how rapidly the industry has evolved. I launched this blog to help fellow musicians, producers, and curious tech-lovers navigate the fascinating world of music technology, with a particular focus on AI-driven music tools.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro looking for the latest innovations or a beginner wanting to explore new possibilities, this blog aims to provide you with practical tips, in-depth reviews, and insights to fuel your creativity.
My Journey in Music and Technology
Starting in the ‘90s, I was drawn to the intersection of music and technology when digital sequencers and analog synthesizers ruled the studio. Over the years, I’ve adapted to new trends—switching from reel-to-reel tape machines to DAWs, and from manual beat-making to leveraging AI to create entirely new soundscapes.
Today, I’m fascinated by how artificial intelligence is reshaping the creative process, whether through tools that assist in composition, sound design, or even performance. My goal is to break down these advancements in a way that makes them accessible and exciting for everyone, no matter where you are in your music journey.
