Can you recommend any good sources of information about synthesizers and their use in music, either as tools for creating sound design or as musical elements themselves? I suspect most of it will be found on YouTube. Thanks in advance!

After years of struggling with a lack of space, we’re finally moving to a new apartment! 🥳 The best part: my studio will have an actual wall separating it from my husband’s home office! But now, I’ve got some questions and concerns: 🟡 Marble floors & acoustics – How bad are they for sound? Would a large rug covering the entire studio floor be enough, or should I add click-together engineered wood flooring on top? 🟡 Studio layout – Would you position monitors facing the kitchen or the bathroom? (Got a bit of a layout dilemma here.) 🟡 Extra soundproofing – I’m thinking about adding an extra door in the corridor for better isolation (see pink/yellow lines in the picture). Worth it? 🟡 Neighbors above & below – Should I invest in soundproofing panels for the ceiling to keep the peace? Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance for your advice and ideas! /Migova ❤

Hey guys, this post is a bit more spontaneous but it is getting more and more obvious after all this time working with music composers. Here are a few facts. People always complain how everything got more difficult, how this market got more and more saturated and that industry x is about to go down, etc. Yes, the internet makes lots of things possible and yes, there are only so many music composers out there and that many companies, producers and people that need music. ... and yes, things sometimes seem so overcrowded that it seems, all of this doesn't make any sense anymore. Here is the kicker. Just a tiny percentage of the people out there are willing to put in the work. Also when I say, "willing to put in the work" it doesn't mean writing as perfect music as possible. It is just a few simple things you need to be aware of: 1. Forget your bloated website and start setting up a demo reel targeting your key audience 2. Sell without selling, meaning, think long-term relationships instead of trying to make as much money as quick as possible. 3. Your music is worth nothing when your subject line and your email is not working. 4. Investing just 10-15 mins daily in (correct) networking is worth more than contacting 3-4 people and that's it for the month. 5. Regular content that can be created in masses in just an hour at the beginning of the month. Just wanted to point this out again. If you need help with this, my Audio Artist Rise Program is currently open with a seven day free trial. You can test it, participate the live calls, ask questions: https://www.skool.com/audio-artist-rise/about The sad truth? Almost everyone joining the Audio Artist Academy answered the questions for goals and struggles related to a problem finding paid projects. I also sent the news of the free trial out to 3000 people ... it resulted in three people signing up, one person sent questions, noone showed up in the live calls.

@Alex Pfeffer My sincerest best wishes to this man, always ready to help us and who has created this wonderful community! Happy Birthday Alex! 🎉🎉🎉
