There are mixing and mastering tools you can get for your DAW that do analysis or even act on that analysis using the same levers and buttons and dials you'd use yourself. Fine, whatever, that can help.
AI mastering is weird though - it's not your song. It's an AI song that sounds like your song.

The first song on my new album is "Just Go," so that must be the one I want you to hear first. The fact is, I wrote all the titles first and made myself write lyrics for them, and all but one are in the same order. Anyway, here's Repertoire...

My favorite song from "A Void" is Strange Lullaby, it's so personal, but Never Understand was the first thing I did, with different words at first. @rodneyorpheus.bsky.social mixed A Void and did his best to polish it, but I like the naive unevenness too.

The first thing I did musically after arriving in Portland from Austin was cover Vexagon's song "(Would You) Want To". It's always moved me and the cover was one of those fangirl things I do. The original is better but I tried hard to impress Briar :).

My song "Safe House" was written to amuse a friend, and is all mostly sapphic James Bond wordplay. Spy vs. Spy with kissing. It's not much like the rest of the album but still fits. Violet Wanda also did a fun remix.
It's the 1st song on my 2nd EP, O Diva.

But Gabi, what's the point of going to listen to your music if I don't have money to buy it and everything else I like?
Good news! I just want people to hear it. Why would anyone buy it if no one has heard it? On Bandcamp or Ampwall you can listen quite a lot before it will complain.
(thanks!)

A layer of my music is I'm a transgender woman. My music isn't about that, though I'm sure it's informed by it. My voice is the result of a lot of coaching. Some people like it. My voice teacher calls me a mezzo-soprano. I'll take it.

I've been playing in bands since I was 16 (ca 1988), doing synth-pop, punk, gothic rock, psychobilly, rock, experimental and industrial. You've never heard of any of them unless you were there. My newer stuff is nominally darkwave, but doesn't quite snap into place as I'd intended. Good, bad, idk?

My music is sort of like Depeche Mode meets Clan of Xymox meets Bronski Beat wishing it was Ladytron, Tempers, Linea Aspera, Lebanon Hanover, Boy Harsher, Minuit Machine.
If that helps. You can listen to it or buy it on Bandcamp and now Ampwall. All but the newest album are streaming as well.

With the 50th annivesay of the loss if the ship being today, this past weekend I got kind of obsessed with trying to cover the haunting Lightfootballad as a synth dance track; make it a club banger without making it cheesy or disrespectful.

What's next for Hyperestis?
3 albums seems like enough until people hear them. I think some of the songs are strong enough to play out with, if I can streamline the process enough for my lazy self.
While I'd love to go back and remix and master everything, it's not time.

I keep finding these "Fringe" brand journals on sale at Marshall's. The paper works pretty well with fountain pens, and looks really nice with brown ink. I kinda like them.

As I am trying to sort my gallimaufry of #fountainpens I have identified pens that are really good that I would keep. Now, I am faced with "what pens are really good that I won't keep". For instance, my m800 is undeniably a good pen, and it writes every time I touch it to paper, but I don't use it.
