I ran sound for my kid’s school choir, recorded their performance, polished it up, and sent it back to the music teacher. My son insists one of the songs is called “A Tiffany Christmas,” but I’m not so sure. I suspect something about “epiphany” but the phrase is so common Google doesn’t help.

Next post in the Mixing series. This one's about controlling volume / level / loudness, and gets into what I hope are helpful conceptual tutorials of various tools: www.thecatmansion.net/blog/the-fir...

New blog post in my series on mixing fundamentals, this time on hearing and listening and how to get better at both of them.

Recently, my wife, @annuin.bsky.social and I started a store selling cat furniture and some nice jewelry for humans because so many cat accessories are just... kinda lame. We're running a Black Friday sale. Use code BFCM20OFF at tinytigersupply.com — I hope you find something you love!

Happy Halloween! Today is release day. Give “Your Ghost” a listen on Bandcamp (link below) or watch the lyric video here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=k-XH...

I have a new musical project called Veil of Shadows. It's kind of crunchy goth rock in the same vein as The Sisters of Mercy. My debut single releases on Halloween. I'd really appreciate if you checked it out. veilofshadows.bandcamp.com/album/your-g...

Electronic musicians: a while ago, I made a bunch of instrument definitions for the Sequential Cirklon 2 MIDI sequencer and loaded them to GitHub. I've started turning those into instrument definitions for the Squarp Hapax as well, and pushed the first commit live today. github.com/jeffburchett

Well, Apple got my computer working again, so that’s exciting. The Cat Mansion was only down for a day.

So, Apple thinks the hard drive and/or motherboard has gone bad in my Mac Studio. Which is the device that runs my… commercial music studio.

I've been using Apple computers for 20+ years. Throughout that time, I've also had a handful of Windows machines. The Windows machines had frequent hiccups, which were generally easy to resolve. Today, for the first time, one of my Macs has failed, but the failure is spectacular and absolute.

it's kind of amazing that literally every basic chat program today is less functional than AIM was 20 years ago *and* spies on you

It was an accident, but I made a pretty coffee today.

Rick Rubin and Trent Reznor both occupy a special place in my musical universe. I listened to this episode of Tetragrammaton this morning and absolutely loved it.
