RSR379 – Brian Rivlin – Studio Macros, Cubase, and Composing for Film

Why do ten clicks when one will do? Brian talked about creating cool studio macros in Keyboard Maestro, programming touch screens with Lemur and Open Stage Control, mixing with faders, stutter edits for guitars, and making music for lego ninjas!

My guest today is Brian Rivlin, a composer-producer and part-time YouTuber living in Toronto. He started his early career recording local artists but very fast realized his true passion for film scores and soundtracks. Through his work, he found a deep fetish for streamlining his studio workflow which resulted in him starting a youtube channel where he shares his love for music and the studio. His recent work includes Apex Legends, Adventures of Ayuma, Ninajgo, My Little Pony, and various movie trailer.

I found Brians Youtube videos when I was doing a deep dive into Keyboard Maestro to streamline my own studio workflow. Brain has some great how to videos that really helped me out so I reached to invite him on the show to learn more about his work and get some great tips for you Rockstars!
