Image: Who am I?

My name is Paavo Stubstad. At heart I am a Trance music producer. Professionally I am a video editor, and as hobbies I ride my mountain bike and unicycle.

I was born October 20th, 1985. I have been a piano and keyboard player since age five, and a violinist since age eight. I began producing my own music in 2002.

To produce I use my Pentium 4 PC with a gig of RAM and a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum sound card. The sequencer I use is FL Studio 6 along with a number of software plug-ins and over six gigs of samples. For complex waveform editing I use Adobe Audition. As far as hardware I use a Behringer B-Control Fader BCF2000, a Mackie 1402-VLZ Pro, a Roland FP-3 keyboard, and an Audio-technica AT 2020 condenser microphone. To make sure my sound quality is optimal, I use Event Studio Precision 8 monitors and Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro headphones. Click on the "Albums" section to see my discography, as well as some tracks which have not yet been released on CD.

As an artist and an active Trance music listener I have built up quite a collection over the years. Click on the "Reviews" section to see my entire collection along with my reviews for some of the albums I own. My goal is to eventually write an in-depth review of every CD in my collection.

Professionally I am a video editor for lynda.com, and this profession provides me with the opportunity to edit together videos of my two main hobbies besides producing. Click on the "Hobbies" section to see me and my friends kick some **** on our mountain bikes and unicycles.

And finally, you can click on the "Forum" section to go to my forum where all things Trance, Bike, or Uni are up for discussion, and you can also click "Contact" to shoot me an email with any thoughts, questions, or feedback you may have.

Cheers!
