Beyond performance, I’ve developed a comprehensive music production workflow that mirrors the technical pipelines required in game development and VR content creation. My process involves transcribing and arranging piano pieces in MuseScore, editing and mixing audio in Logic Pro DAW, and creating visualizations using PianoVFX software on my Windows PC. This multi-platform, multi-software workflow has taught me invaluable lessons about technical integration, file format compatibility, and managing complex production pipelines—skills that directly translate to my VR development work.

The transcription process in MuseScore sharpens my attention to detail and my understanding of musical structure. I analyze performances note-by-note, translating what I hear into accurate notation, adjusting dynamics, articulations, and tempo markings to capture the essence of each piece. Once transcribed, I export MIDI files—a process that requires understanding data formats and ensuring information is preserved across software transitions. In Logic Pro, I refine these MIDI performances, adjusting velocity curves, adding subtle timing variations for musicality, mixing tracks, and applying effects to achieve a polished final sound. The audio is then exported as high-quality WAV files, ready for the final stage.

This cross-platform workflow—moving seamlessly between macOS (Logic Pro) and Windows (PianoVFX)—has made me comfortable navigating different operating systems and understanding their unique quirks and capabilities. Building the final PianoVFX videos requires synchronizing audio with visual elements, managing file paths, optimizing render settings, and troubleshooting compatibility issues when things don’t work as expected. The systematic problem-solving required here is identical to what I encounter in Unity development: integrating assets from Blender, managing audio files, scripting interactions, and building for different VR platforms. Every step in my music production pipeline reinforces the same principle that drives my development work—understanding how individual components integrate into a cohesive, functional whole.
