Technical advice: Perfect preparation for your setup

Do you want to optimize or better understand your keyboard setup? In my technical consultations, I'll help you find answers to the following questions:

How do I best wire the setup? Multicore cable, individual cables? Power and audio together?
Is a MIDI connection between my devices useful? If so: Bluetooth, USB or DIN connector?
How do I set up my monitoring? In-ear monitors, wedge headphones, or my own mixer?
Which tripod is right for my needs?
Should I switch to software? What options are there?

Whether you're a solo musician or a band – I bring 20 years of experience to show you the best solutions for your setup. I can also come to your rehearsals if you wish.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need a camera?: No, a camera is not required to participate. Of course, I'd be happy to see you and for you to show off your keyboard, but it's not necessary for an effective workshop.
Which tool do you use for the online workshops?: I prefer Microsoft Teams and Zoom. iMessage and WhatsApp also work. If you'd like to use a different tool, I'm open to it and happy to learn.
What topics do you work on?: Basically, everything you want to know. From sound selection, splitting, layering, sequencer, and arpeggiator to sampling. With the Korg Kronos, I only deal with switching sounds, not with Karma itself! But I can also help you with your DAW.
Do you also offer workshops for other keyboards?: Currently, I only offer workshops for the devices I have mentioned, as I know them very well and can operate them in my sleep.
Do you also help with setting up software?: Yes, if it is the software mentioned in the list, I will gladly assist you with the setup and optimization.
I'm unsure which setup to choose. Can you help?: Yes, I can also help you choose and set up your equipment. Let's discuss how I can assist you.
Could you perhaps attend a rehearsal sometime?: Yes, if the distance is manageable, that's certainly possible. We can discuss it individually.
My question doesn't come up…: Feel free to send me an email to kontakt@thorsten-hillmann.de and I will answer it personally!
