The number of AI music startups that cold call me about collabs every week is STAGGERING.

Davinci Resolve’s transcript tool is really hanging my ass out to dry here lmao
Honestly, Depeche Mode’s run from Black Celebration to Songs of Faith and Devotion is maybe the craziest in electronic music.
ZW Buckley@zwbuckley.com · 4w agoViolator is such a perfect album.
This is genuinely one of my favorite albums of the last year. Listen to Mapquest (I Tell Myself) and try not to *feel* something. You won't be able to.

I'm less than 24 hours out from the release of my new single and like clockwork this is the time when that little voice is like "every mix decision you made was the WRONG mix decision, pal."
I just caught myself almost writing a THIRD song in a row that the chorus starts with "I can't" which is probably something I should mention to my therapist lmao

I am constantly, endlessly torn between wanting my music to be overly dynamic, atmospheric soundscapes and just absolutely loud as fuck bangers. And I just cannot make up my mind ever. Ever!
I often forget to post here but I'm still uploading every Friday to YouTube without fail. This week I'm discussing how awesome sample slicing is!
Making your own Ableton Slicing presets is SO POWERFUL

It's #BandcampFriday and I have a new single out. If you're into meticulously produced pop songs about your inner child then you should 100% give it a listen!

I empathize with the difficulty of running a huge event but I would argue that devs have ALWAYS valued GDC but not paying speakers, the high ticket price, and expensive host city has not shown any mutuality. Best of luck with the festival.
GamesIndustry.biz@gibiz.bsky.social · 10mo agoThe founder of GDC, Chris Crawford, has suggested that the "gigantic costs" of the event, compared with the "microscopic costs" of interacting over the internet, mean GDC is "rapidly becoming a dinosaur." www.gamesindustry.biz/gdc-founder-...
How many ways can Spotify say “We don’t value artists” without actually saying it?
fox noises@jjbbllkk.bsky.social · 11mo agoDear producers: take your music off of Spotify.
Prepping slides fro the upcoming term and I'm always grateful for this reminder.
I googled a question about Digital Performer and google's automatic AI response gives me a video about Logic Pro alongside a screenshot from Ableton Live. 😂
Half of my mixing process is checking in mono and then fixing some of the flippant stereo shit I did when producing 😅
Can I tell you a cool story? Yesterday, I got candid in my newsletter about how recent videos doing poorly has diminished my excitement over how close I am to 10,000 subscribers. Then I woke up to something unexpected. 🧵
YouTube blues and riding the dips
When things change slowly over time, it's easy to miss the impact.
