-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Welcome to a new "Ask Wallimann Show". In today's episode I walk you through the setup you need for those sustained chords I use in some of my masterclasses

Audio interface

MIDI keyboard

Sounds coming out of my DAW (in this case Logic Pro X, but any DAW would do)

Sustain pedal.

The second question is about my composition process which boils down to listening to what is inside without having an instrument at hand, recording my ideas immediately and repeat the process the next day till I have a full piece.

Finally, a question from an old video that deals with the particularities of the locrian mode.
