Added a center bay to my Ikea-last-east-rack-hack. I was about to pull the trigger on a $6000 desk when I realized I could DIY it for less than $20.

Oh, and I was only joking. I wasn’t about to buy a $6000 desk-not in this economy! 😅

Reading this absolute masterpiece again. I’m only a few pages in but have a stupid grin on my face because the Steinbeck has *already* completely immersed me in the Salinas Valley.

I think the only book I’ve read that has moved me as deeply is Brothers Karamazov.

Every audio engineer should make it a serious priority to see orchestral music in an excellent room. It’s like recalibrating your ears to real music - no PA or processing involved. Even if you’re working on electronic music, the tonal and dynamic balance is better when it reflects acoustic music.

Degrees of the Scale:
I wrote this up for my 11 yo daughter who is starting to write music. This concept goes pretty deep (it’s the specific way that jazz musicians communicate) and it can unlock a TON of musical ideas.
