Alex's Hobbies

Things I Love to Do

Music Production

  • I use FL Studio to create beats and sample tracks.
  • I mainly use Serato Sample, Fruity Slicer, & Fl Slice X for sampling.
  • My main machines are a MPD26 and a Casio CT-S300.
  • However, I just bought a MPC 1000 and I'm currently fixing it up and studying how the machine works.

Sports and E-Sports

  • I've always had a passion for sports at a young age, playing soccer, baseball, and tennis.
  • I ended up playing tennis in high school and also began to play the e-sport Counter Strike.
  • I play tennis and Counter Strike still and enjoy watching soccer, football and baseball on TV.

Technology

  • I do, from time to time, explore software and hardware for older machines/applications.
  • I like tinkering with coding, such as HTML, JavaScript, & CSS.

Reading & Writing

  • I love to read and write every day, and I write fiction and poems in my spare time.
  • Some of my favorite authors are John Steinbeck, Hunter S. Thompson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Kurt Vonnegut.

Gaming

  • I like casual gaming with friends and exploring new releases (if warranted).
  • I do like playing classic games through emulation setups and retro gaming, specifically the PS3.
