If you had to describe your current mood as a song title, what would it be? 🎧

I would be really interested in how you guys normally compose a new Track. Do you normally Play all the parts in with the MIDI Keyboard or are you more of a „putting the notes in“ kind of person :D ? If you are playing all the parts in , how do you keep track of the Chord progression (making sure the notes fit into the current chord) ? I normally put the notes in with the mouse but really am trying to get better at the keyboard , as I think this would be a good boost to my productivity if I could play the parts in efficiently.

Hey everyone, for ages I am looking for a solution to compensate hearing loss. My hearing loss in my right ear is pretty severe and I always had the idea of coming up with a plugin solution to compensate the hearing loss - at least in the DAW. I never found a good solution and never had time to develop something similar but now HEARS Perfection has been released. When you open the plugin you can start a hearing test and based on the results, it creates a frequency compensation curve for you. It obviously does not replace a full blown scientifically done hearing test but it gets sort of close. If you are interested, I attached the video here. If you are a subscriber of the Plugin Alliance subscription, you get it for free.

Just wanted to share something that I have built today. I can now control CC01 by tracking my hand with my webcam.

Hey guys, the replay of our Trailer Music Percussion Challenge Event is online. I hope you guys enjoy. The video is a review session of an epic percussion challenge in the Audio Artist Academy, where participants submitted 8-bar percussion loops. The host goes through each submission, providing detailed feedback on naming conventions, arrangement techniques, and sound selection for trailer and video game music. Key takeaways: - File Naming Matters: Always include your name in submissions to avoid missing out on opportunities. - Trailer Percussion Tips: Epic percussion should be powerful, driving, and stress-inducing, with consistent grooves and layering for impact. - Common Mistakes: Many entries lacked consistent groove energy, used orchestral percussion that lacked punch, or didn’t fully commit to trailer-style impact. - Winning Entry Insights: The top submission stood out due to its high tempo, nerve-wracking intensity, and strong groove foundation, making it ideal for trailer music. The session also discusses tempo’s role in impact, how layering percussion samples properly creates more epic energy, and why working backward in trailer music composition helps maintain intensity. The video ends with a Q&A and closing remarks. Would you love to participate in sessions like this on a weekly basis? Feel free to check out my Audio Artist Rise Program
