Reviewing artist data for a project. Nothing changed... but the marketing. The music was the same. The lesson for musicians:
Most often good music does not rise up naturally. Having a great track will not be enough. You must advertise and market beyond posting relentlessly on social media.

Testing the new piano. Wish a real pianist was here... hope you will forgive my improv noodling but check out the tones! Schoeps MK2 wide in the first example. Schoeps MK4 + AEA R84 ribbon as MS pair on other two samples.
Happy with this upright! Good studio tool.

Everytime someone says "industry standard" as a mark of quality, I remind my fellow humans... industry standard is often the lowest form of acceptable quality.
Behold.... the "industry standard" cheeseburger.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

After owning a piano for a few weeks... I am certain about one thing.
Any human who can burn at stride piano is to be respected equally to the highest level of any physical achievement.

Look at this beauty! Been searching for the right piano for a couple years. Finally found it. Yamaha U3 from 1970. A few cabinet blemishes but it sounds fantastic!

Running audio setup via Dante is NOT something I'd recommend. It's buggy in Windows Network sort of ways. Yes... "it works" ... most of the time. Stabilizing the network is very Window 98 workload. It should all be more solid and robust than it is.

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.

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.
