Hi folks. Looks like NI are in financial trouble. Wonder what that’s going to mean for all of us Kontakt and Isotope users. ???

I believe this might have been mentioned in this community before, so apologies if I’m repeating a topic. I’m really curious about real‑world experiences using Notion or n8n to automate audio production workflows. Lately, I’ve been exploring ways to go beyond what standard DAW macros or batch exports can offer. I’m particularly interested in practical setups where automation handles things like exporting and delivering stems or masters, sending files straight to clients or cloud platforms, or triggering automatic conversions, naming, and archiving after a bounce. I’m also looking into how Notion could integrate with n8n to streamline project and revision tracking... imagine a project automatically updating its status in Notion the moment a new mix or master is uploaded. Beyond these, I’ve seen people use automation and AI tools such as ClickUp for workflow approvals, Zapier to link DAWs or cloud storage with client delivery, and even custom Python or Node scripts for repetitive tasks like consolidating sessions or generating streaming‑ready masters. There’s also growing interest in AI‑driven sample library management such as tagging, classifying, and organizing large SFX or music collections automatically. If anyone here has real, hands‑on experiences where these tools (or similar) have genuinely saved time or reduced repetitive work in mixing, mastering, or music production pipelines, I’d love to hear about it. Thanks in advance! .

Hey guys, 😱 So just a little bit of a rant here and warning to you that even when you REALLY know ChatGPT and set rules with it, and it assures you it will stick to those rules...it won't. It is designed to lie to you and I've had it admit this to me many times. But today I've just hit a frustration level where I just wanted to drop a warning to you all. 👀 Previously, I've figured out how it will lie about things it can do...and worked around it pretty well. i.e. Creating certain file types or templates, or workflows, and I have sniffed out the BS and not had it waste too much of my time. 👉🏻 This caused me to create rules with it where it promised me that if I told it not to lie, it would stop the lie and tell me the truth. ⚡️ Flash forward to the last few days where I caught it again lying to me about analyzing audio files and assuring me it was doing analysis despite me questioning it and telling it I didn't believe it was. It continued to lie. Today it just wasted another 2hrs of my time and this time real money because of it lying. ‼️ ⚠️ So just be warned that even when you have caught it, called it out, had it promise it will be truthful from now on, etc, etc...it will NOT. Full Stop. Hopefully this can save some of you misery and wall-punching fury! For your amusement and education, some receipts. 🧠 AND, the final attachment - written by ChatGPT itself to document and call out its disturbing behavior (I thought that was pretty funny)

I have a question that I know is not easy to answer, but if anyone has any advice, I would be grateful. Namely, I am interested in how you would generally approach mixing a "hybrid" track (not in the form of a trailer) that consists of different types of pads, atmospheric instruments, hybrid vocals and possibly some synthesizer serving as a low end (in fact, there are almost no standard sampled instruments like pianos, guitars, strings, brass, etc.). I know that the question is unusual and I know that it is impossible to answer specifically and in detail, but as I said... I will be grateful for any advice and tips, or a good video tutorial.

Just see they are offering huge discounts on all their libraries. @Alex Pfeffer uses them quite recurrently, as I've seen so far. The flagship collection is specially appealing! https://www.audioimperia.com/anniversary/
