    I Didn’t Get the Amazon Job… and That’s Okay 👀

    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

    Uncut Mobile Experiment: MIDI Keyboard + Phone + OB-4 = MAGIC?! 🎶📱

    🎹 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
