I always liked this scene in The Next Generation where Picard explains to a Wall Street financier that society has eliminated scarcity, poverty, hunger, and money. The financier is troubled by that, and Picard responds that the point is to enrich your life.
Captain Picard and Startrek Next Generation in general was important to me. Asking myself: “What would Picard do?” was a thing in a difficult situations. RIP Captain. ✨
The missing AI label is bad enough but I won't stop there: every artwork is a image gallery with one sheet structured like a nutrition label for artist, composer, producer, designer, mastering, label, genre(s).

I like this.
A letter to myself 10 years ago:
"You think your mix has to be perfect before it has a chance. It doesn’t. Plenty of hits are mixed imperfectly, and some aren’t even great.
What it has to be is listenable. That’s a much lower bar, and you’re still not clearing it.
Right now your mixes hurt at high volume. They clip a little in the loud parts and you tell yourself it’s “character”. The vocal disappears. There are two S sounds in the hook that stab the ear. Bass notes disappear.
Fix those things. Fix the monitoring, learn the room.
The day your songs become simply okay, you’ll be ahead of 98% of what gets released. Then start chasing great."

🎚️ Beginner and pro hear the same problem. They do different things with it.
Muddy mix.
Beginner: cuts 300 Hz on every track.
Pro: finds the two tracks that actually fight and fixes only those.
Uneven vocal.
Beginner: compressor at 10:1.
Pro: clip gain first, then a compressor that barely works.
Nothing can compare to Autolevel Pro for the quick clip gain automation imo.
Sloppy timing.
Beginner: bigger reverb.
Pro: edits the take or records it again.
Dull recording.
Beginner: +6 dB at 10 kHz.
Pro: Moves the mic. Records again.
Small mix.
Beginner: widener on the master.
Pro: fixes the arrangement, then widens with different processing on L and R.
The difference is not the plugins. The pro refuses to hide the problem.

What is it with trainspotting in my life? Watched the movie in the theatre when it came out, learned from DJ Storm what it meant in terms of djing, wrote the music to a namesake stage play and recently I’m doing it professionally as a train controller.

There is a space effect named after my hometown Leipzig! @robinrimbaud did you record it at the old exhibition halls or the new one near the highway?

While listening to this new album I bought recently by a revered artist a doubt crept in that spoiled the joy: What if the live instruments weren't samples or studio musicians but Suno results? Now I want to know if the label has an AI policy and where I can read it.
She said she was inspired by the Nuremberg Trials. 🖖🏼
