Yooo I’m sure you all have seen the post by @Gilde Flores for how to submit for PTN’s first official review! Make sure to review his post if you haven’t already. Just wanted to say I am extremely excited to hear what everyone in this group is cookin up. Excited to learn, grow, get some pointers on how to improve, and to win those briefs! I know this group is going to bring nothing but 🔥! Can’t wait!

Great research report (attached) from Landr about how musicians are using AI. A few highlights: - 87% of artists now use AI somewhere in their workflow. - 29% of respondents are using song generators at some stage in their workflow, especially to create song parts like vocals and instruments. - 40% are interested in trying them 
 out, particularly for song parts or ideas rather than complete tracks. AI as a collaborator is the avenue to watch and learn IMO...

Howdy everybody! As musicians artists and workers I know we all must have an inherent passion and love for our craft but I feel like sometimes most certainly in the music grind you can feel so behind or just not cut out for it, whether ability or just headspace! recently it’s a real struggle sometimes it can even feel daunting to open up the DAW! Whether it’s the stress of life or the worries of not delivering a solid musical product. Sometimes it can just feel overwhelming. I wanted to come here though to chat with all you awesome people to ask, how do you guys handle yourself when the work gets too much, or the worries outweigh the flow! How do you guys step away and re center yourself when it’s becoming a bit of a mental storm? And remember we can all do this together, it’s ok to struggle, and no one is alone! ❤️ : )

We are opening submissions for our upcoming PTN Live Listening Session, and we pushed it one week to give everyone time to get through the holidays, get back into their flow, and breathe a little before we meet. This session is focused on music for visual media, so please read this before you send anything in. (Submission Info Below) We are looking to listen to cues/tracks that feel purpose-driven, structured, and built with a visual/picture in mind. Think arcs, scenes, Ads, trailers, moments, and pacing. Music that could live under a story. Your cue does not need to be perfect; it just needs intention. If it feels “almost ready” or you want clarity on whether it truly lands for film, TV, trailers, or branded media, this room is for you. Before you submit, ask yourself: • Does this cue move, or can it work in visual media/support Visuals? • Does it have a good structure, or is this something I need help with? • Can you hear it under a scene? • Does it have a Sting? What is a Sting? • Is the mix in a place where someone could judge the idea, or is it even "ready"? If ANY of this FITS, or you can use this help... send it. SUBMIT Via Email HERE - 👉🏼 listenlive@paintthenoise.com-- CUTOFF at 7 pm on TUESDAY - (12/09 ) We will go through the submissions and feature as many cues as we can within the session window. Wednesday night, 12/10, we listen. Bring your best.
