There is so much to admire about the great Pharrell Williams. He has been a part of a lot of game changing projects in culture that expands across many genres. His enthusiasm for his craft always shines through in any interview or documentary you can catch him in. I love how mindful he is of the theory in his music while at the same time succeeding in keeping his sound fun.
I would love to sit in on one of his sessions to watch the process of him laying down the melodies and chord progressions in his soul. When it comes to him doing so, one of his frequent weapons of choice has been the M-Audio Axiom Pro 49. As you can see in this video with P. Diddy, the Axiom Pro allows him to have a hardware feel while exploring the sounds of his software. This controller is a great tool to navigate your preferred DAW.
