Listen to my music

I’m William Ashley, an electronic music creator and long-time hobbyist producer. My first experiences making music were on a Tandy SL1000 PC when I was 7 or 8 years old. I've been immersed in electronic since the mid‑90s when I started to experiment more with Rebirth, Trackers and Fruityloops (FL Studio). My major hobby and time sink continues to be spending time with music although I've expanded my software and hardware a bit over the years. My music is heavily sample and synth-driven but I have been progressing to multitracking and more traditional mixing methods. I usually make Electronic Music using FL Studio. I primarily use controllers like the FLKey49, Akai Fire, Console1, SSLUC1, QconG2, as well as a Soundcraft Series 5 mixing console and Danalog DDX3216. My current audio interfaces in use are an SSL18, Zen Q, and Apollo Twin. My monitors are MR824 as some old M-Audio Studio Monitors from a couple decades ago. I use a variety of headphones but my current main set Berydynamics DT990 Pro. Hopefully I can get a full list of all the hardware I use on a seperate page.. Software wise I primarily use FL Studio but am also dabbling with Luna, MixBus, Cubase, Bitwig, Reason and others. I use a wide variety of plugins but my largest investments have been in Waves and Universal Audio. Hopefully I will get a list of the plugins and software I use up on a separate page, You can view some of my demos at on SoundCloud (https://soundcloud.com/william-ashley-806919289) and Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamAshleyOnline). This website intends to serve as a hub for my music related activities.
