Audionautic | Covering the Latest in Music Production, Marketing and Technology

This week, our new label mate Jonathan Goode joins us on the show for an interview and discussion about his debut release 'Juxtaposition Junction'. Together we'll be dissecting narrative and story telling with music as we gain greater understanding of Jonathan's motivations, inspirations and sonic expeditions. We'll also be taking a look at the new VINTAGE synth from Behringer. A free VST supposedly modeled on retro synths like the Sequential Prophet and Oberheim OB-X. Behringer say it's worth $100... we'll run through the UI and sound banks so you can make the decision for yourself :) Grab Juxtaposition Junction here: https://jonathangoode.bandcamp.com/album/juxtaposition-junction Join the Audionautic Discord Server: https://discord.gg/f57EVEGS59 Help Support the Channel: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/audionautic Thanks to our Patrons who support what we do: Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen Setzepfandt Lars Haur - Audionaut Producer Jonathan Goode - Audionaut Producer Time Stamps: 2:00 Show Start 5:00 Behringer Vintage Demo/UI Walkthrough 25:00 Community Corner 30:00 Crafting Story through Music with Jonathan Goode 53:00 What We're Up To 🎧Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7lFIuRD0xz87UZ3bRflu9H Sunwarper: https://www.sunwarper.com/ Kh3rtis: https://www.kh3rtis.com/ #behringer #musicproduction
