Rocksmith+ (Ubisoft) | Music Transcriptionist (Notetracker)
I transcribed bass and guitar parts for Rocksmith+, Ubisoft’s interactive music learning platform from a massive and diverse library of music. This track, Our Generation by John Legend & The Roots, was one of many I worked on to ensure note-for-note accuracy for players.
In addition to this role, I contributed to many other aspects of the game including music and video content creation, consultation on proper bass techniques and ergonomics, content moderation, arrangement, recording, mixing, and mastering.
Here I am performing a bass playthrough of Our Generation by John Legend & The Roots with commentary from the development team. This track was one of many I worked on to ensure note-for-note accuracy for players.
GarageBand | 8-Bit Legends Chiptune Pack
Below is a review by "The GarageBand Guide" of a chiptune sound pack I was commissioned to create for Apple's GarageBand. I made heavy use of trackers (Little Sound DJ in particular) as well as plugin emulations to create an extensive sound pack with which composers are able to layer various loops to create their own compositions.
