Hi Everyone! Just wanted to share the news that I have relaunched my Skool community for 2026 with new tiers, classroom content and live calls! This follows a pilot programme last year with some of you from this community, in which you helped me refine what I wanted my community to be, and kindly shared testimonials of your experience working with me. I'm really excited to see where this goes next and wanted to drop a post to thank all of you, especially my volunteers and @Alex Pfeffer for giving me the tools and confidence to actually give this a try - especially at the end of last year when I was starting to have doubts about pushing on with this new phase of the community! It's just another confirmation to me that the Audio Artist community is awesome and so unique in the support it provides - it's a pleasure to be part of it and to be in all of your corners as you do awesome things on your journeys!

Hi everyone I have recently heard that a video game that used an AI cover and won game of the year has had the award stripped from them due to the use of AI art for a game cover. Do you think that moving forward we will need to find alternate artwork for Album covers and youtube videos to be safe? Or is it ok to still use AI?

Just a quick heads-up! This Wednesday, January 14, Frank is hosting another live session. This time on "Enhancing Counterpoint with Interval Magic." He’ll show how to use intervals in a smart, musical way, especially when working with counterpoint. Think of it as creating musical conversations. If you’re curious about intervallic writing and want to add a bit of interval magic to your own musical voice, this session is for you. 🕠 When: Wednesday, Jan 14, 5:30 PM CET 🎟 Cost: Totally free 👉 Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/BM_-TtAwTBadGZhvlJD5JA And if you’d like to go even deeper, check out the "Circle of Interval Magicians" here on Skool. 👉 Learn more here

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year! Just wondering what some of your favourite realistic-sounding Piano VSTs are? My go-to in trailer tracks is the Felt Piano from Spitfire's Olafur Arnalds Toolkit, but I need something a little less soft for a project I'm working on. I've been using Addictive Keys from XLN Audio for years in personal projects, but I'm not sure it quite has the realism I want/need for this professional project. Though interested if anyone disagrees! Let me know your thoughts! I'm hoping not to break the bank on another piano, but I'd love to have something that sounds super realistic to slot into my wider instrument collection (Nucleus, Metropolis Ark, Damage 2, Gravity etc) Thanks all!
