What happens when you don’t land your dream job at a top tech company like Amazon? In this video, I (Khordmaster) share how I didn’t get the Senior Technical Program Manager role—and why I actually feel more focused than ever. 💡This is bigger than a job rejection—it’s about clarity, alignment, and figuring out if full-time work or going all-in on entrepreneurship is the right move.If you’re torn between two career paths or bouncing back from a “no” that stung, this one’s for you. We’re talking mindset, purpose, and real growth.Much love to everyone grinding through their own journeys. You got this. 👊🏽#khordmaster #careerjourney #amazon

Using the Ableton Push 3 for the First Time – Here’s What Surprised Me 👀
Ableton sent me a Push 3 for a 30-day trial, and I’m diving in daily to see if it’s worth the investment. Today’s Day 1, and I’m sharing high-level thoughts, early pros and cons, and my initial experience with setup.⚠️ USB-C audio isn’t enabled on this Push 3 (weirdly, it works on Ableton Move), and manually installing all the packs is a whole process. That said — I’m vibing with it so far. This could be a major game-changer for my workflow and content.Follow along as I post regular videos throughout the 30 days. By the end, I’ll decide: buy or return?🎹 Stay tuned for beat sessions, music ideas, MIDI workflows, and Push 3 creative tips from a real user perspective.💬 Drop a comment if there’s something specific you want me to test or try on Push 3!#abletonpush3 #musicproduction #khordmaster
🎹 This is my first attempt at building a portable, battery-powered music setup — and it’s all in one uncut take. I’m using the ICON Pro Audio 88-key MIDI controller, OP-X, my phone running the Korg Module app for incredible piano sounds, and the Teenage Engineering OB-4 speaker to bring it all to life.This is a casual experiment, not a polished performance — but it’s the start of something exciting. I wanted to test how this rig could work for in-person gigs without needing a laptop or power outlet. Future videos will show a more tuned-up version of this idea, but for now… here’s the raw first test.🎶 Got ideas for improving the setup? Drop them in the comments!#MobilePianoSetup #UncutMusicTest #khordmaster

Powered by My PHONE?! This Piano Is Wild 🎹📱
As a piano player and music producer who’s always on the move, finding gear that just works is rare. The One Sing Piano has become my go-to portable piano because it powers up with just ONE USB cable—directly from my phone! 🎹📱 That feature alone sets it apart from so many other keyboards and makes it incredibly easy to use in a mobile setup.In this video, I casually break down why this simple but powerful feature matters so much for creators, musicians, and producers who value portability without compromise.Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever used a piano like this—or if you’ve never even heard of it! 💬🧠Subscribe for more chord tips, music gear finds, and all things creative.#portablepiano #musicgear #khordmaster
