“See you later, oscillator”: Ricky Tinez steps back from his YouTube channel to work at AppleRicky Tinez, an artist and music production educator on YouTube, is stepping back from his channel for a new career with Apple.
Tinez has also stepped down from his role as brand manager at Elektron for his new career move, though he assures all was left on a good note. He will be joining Apple’s worldwide product marketing team. Tinez’s YouTube channel spans videos from across nine years, and features content on production tips and tutorials, gear reviews, and more.

Tinez will be the new product manager on the music creation apps team with Apple, which means he’ll be working on Logic, GarageBand, Voice Memos, and MainStage. In his new YouTube video, he says, “What’s really nuts about this position is when I read the description of it, the first thought that came to mind was, ‘did I write this description?’ Because it was so in line with what I want to do and the original purpose of this YouTube channel.
“The whole reason this channel even exists [was] for me to be able to help as many people as I could make more music by providing information, some inspiration, and explaining the tools available to help you make more music you could be proud of.”
He adds, “I’ve been an Apple user forever so to actually be able to help shape the direction of these products and know that they’ll have an impact for many creatives like you and myself is just freaking cool. So with all that being said, what this all means is I’m going to take a pause from the channel for now. I think you can appreciate I’m going to be pretty damn busy.”
Tinez says he still may try to upload content “a little here and there”, but doesn’t make any promises. He concludes, “This dream probably wouldn’t have come true without the help of you and your support, your viewership, just being an awesome community of people. I am forever grateful to you… This isn’t goodbye, but maybe so long. See you later oscillator.”
