Only a Mac diehard would be in this situation.... and instead of closing the tabs, they visit Apple Genius who convinced them to buy a new device.

I happily quit Spotify two years ago. No regrets.

Me either doc. But thats the system we've always lived in. 🤷‍♂️

Depends. Whats your net worth?

Behold... the pinnacle of humanity's great creation. Look at our progeny and tremble at it's might.

My personal advice on business? Don't do any deals/work/jobs for friends, family, or neighbors.

Lol. "people use Copilot" is the funniest thing I've read today

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Am i an expert at soldering? Idk. But I did solder 1200 points of DB25 for one project and have built a few synthesizer kits. 🤓

Weller or Hako are the ONLY correct answers. Id say buy this one with a variety of tips, Kester solder, flux, and tip cleaning wire. Good tools make it easy.

And here I am. Needing the iPad to be a real tool with audio output via 3.5mm AND I need to charge the thing.

But.... at least Apple reduced cost and increased shareholder value.

Also true!

Recording and live mixing full orchestra this weekend is a highlight reel thing for me. Tune in this Sat to WDAV for the hear the broadcast.

Geffel mains. Schoeps outriggers. Spot mics around as needed. Great sounding hall. Top talent musicianship.

Dear fellow musicians,

The recording studio is not a place of pixie dust and miracles. You wont get magic on the first take and will be REQUIRED to work hard to create the perfect version of your music. This is not a Santa Clause process. It's not a money commitment. It's a workplace.

Do work.

"Collector's Edition" of a high priced studio tool says a lot about humans and the industry at large.

A selfpub blog is the most unproblematic and effective tool imo. The idea that it should be a social site will always lead to enshitification, and then the site collapses into Dead Internet, and you lose all your writing or become trapped in that ecosystem.

If not gunning for coin? Wordpress

Agreed. Feel the same vibe in airports.

Every football fan should have the option to mute Chris Collinsworth commentary.

I wonder what the collective studio billing hours were incurred while guiarists struggled to retune a Floyd Rose trem system? Globally for all time? My guess is 1000s of hours but it could be 10x or more.

Thank you Floyd Rose.

Sonora Cinematic Emma Legato - Kontakt Instrument A user-friendly tool for creating rich vocal textures and powerful melodic lines, Emma Legato is a true Legato vocal sample library for any cinematic or ambient composition.

You should contact Sonora Cinematic and hire Emma (voice behind Emma Legato). Ive used their samples on several ambient vocal needs.... and her voice is that sound. Beautiful tones.

Premiere for a film we mixed/designed. Always fun to attend these screenings.

Woooo!

Spitfire Symphonic Strings might be the worst string library I've ever purchased. Maybe worse still was the money spent on Kepler Strings... also by Spitfire.

Not surprising what happened with them. Started strong. Then went all Jony Ive with the grind of BIG KEYNOTES. A shame really.

I think I qualify as a veteran mix engineer.... and a thing that has become REALLY clear to me in recent years is that compression is widely overused and quickly leads to a dead flat sound.

These are mistakes I made. Try to listen for it.
