If you have new music you want to share to get some exposure, post it below! If you want feedback or have a specific conversation about the song, you can do a dedicated post. But if you just want to share something you've release to help get streams, post it below (and make sure you stream other peoples music too!)

In the Spring of 1978,I bought a Gibson RD Artist. The unique thing about it is at the time a company named Norlin owned both Gibson and Moog so they had Moog do some advanced electronics to include active EQ, compressor, expander and preamp circuitry. We are approaching 50 years together. I liked to experiment with electronics going way back and hacked on this one to add additional phase options and other unnecessary features. Through all the hacking and the natural aging process, the poor thing doesn’t play consistently due to end-of-life of the capacitors. Anyway I dove in today and have compiled a parts list on Digikey and will be restoring the electronics over the next few weeks. Here’s some before photos! Wish me luck!

Hi Gang, I had posted this tip about a year ago in the older community platform; thought I'd re-post here in the new one so it's not lost. (And as I clearly state in the doc, ** under no circumstances should this or any other app be used to bypass digital protection schemes for monetary purposes, or to avoid paying music creators and distributors their fair share! Besides being illegal, it’s bad karma. ** ) -------- As part of my MP 101 coursework, I was looking for reference tracks for "Panic". I found some good suggestions here in the community, but when I went to import them from Apple Music into Logic Pro, I ran into a stumbling block: the files are protected (m4p) and thus can't be easily imported. Long story short, I figured out how to use the free BlackHole "virtual wire" app to work around this limitation. Now I can easily find and import reference tracks without wasting nearly as much valuable time. :) I put together this cheat sheet which documents how to do it. I hope you find it useful! Cheers, Steve

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season before I shut it down. I'll be out of town till the 28th and won't have access to a computer so if you have something urgent, you can reach out to support@mastering.com ...You can send me a DM and I'll check them first chance I get ... probably not before the 28th ... but I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I sincerely wish the best for all of you and look forward to working with you in 2026 (wow ... it'll be 50 years since graduation HS ... crap, I'm old) Let's have a great break, and make the New Year the best one ever!!! See ya around the virtual campus.

Anyone remember the original Christmas song that @Jake Kodweis used in a Fix-the-Mix session a couple of years ago? “A Little Bit of Christmas” was funny, clever, and (naturally) extremely well-produced. Jake posted a link for the finished mix by popular demand, but I can no longer find it. Anyone still have this little holiday gem to share? @Caleb Loveless? @Dane Holmes? @Nick Allegro? Cheers, all! Happy Holidays!
