An AI productivity setup for creatives who don't want to touch generative AI. Install Claude Code inside VS Code and let it handle the busywork around your work, research, admin, files, writing, so more of your time goes back into the thing you actually love doing. The web chat version of Claude or ChatGPT compresses your conversation, loses the thread, and forces you to start over. Running Claude Code locally inside VS Code fixes that. It keeps a real workspace, remembers what you're working on, and can read and write files on your own machine. In this video I walk you through the exact setup step by step, then show you a live example: I point Claude at my website and it pulls a clean markdown biography into the workspace on its own. At the end, a first look at Nova, my Networked Operations and Voice Assistant, which is built inside the same environment I just showed you.

Just wanted to drop this little update screenshot. If you are interested on what I can all take care of, zoom in to see the stuff at the left sidebar.

Hey everyone, Need your help picking the next ComposerOS video. The one I keep coming back to is a track visualizer build. The point: take a finished cue, turn it into something you can actually post on YouTube, without losing a weekend inside After Effects. Most composers I know have a hard drive full of music nobody ever hears. This is the fix. But I'd rather hear from you before I commit to it. Two questions: 1. Would a track visualizer video be useful to you? If yes, anything specific you'd want it to cover. 2. If something else in ComposerOS is higher on your list, tell me what. Whatever gets the most pull this week is what I record. Cheerio, Alex

I've been building something behind the scenes for a while now, and it's ready for you to get your hands on. ADD: New video added: Find companies and let your agent create personalized email for EACH contact. What took days or even weeks, can now be done in minutes! ComposerOS is a course that teaches you how to use AI agents to run your music business. Not chatbots. Not prompts. Actual agents that go out and do work for you: Find clients, write outreach emails, build websites, create content, organize your files, and more. This is the same system I use every day to run GrowBaze, Audio Artist Rise, and this community. I just made it accessible for composers who have zero technical background. It will save you tons of hours during your work week, leaving more time to writing music. What's inside: - Full installation guides for Claude Code and Google Antigravity (the AI powered IDE from Google) - How to set up your personal AI workspace so Claude knows who you are and what you do - The 3 layer architecture that makes agents reliable instead of chaotic - Hands on skill building so you can see real results from day one - Standalone scenario modules for client finding, cold outreach, LinkedIn automation, content creation, and more What early access means: The foundation module is ready now. Scenario modules will be added as I build them. You get everything at the early access price, including all future updates. Once the course is complete, the price goes to $297. Early access price: $97 You can grab it right now from the classroom here in Audio Artist Academy. No external links, no complicated checkout. It's right here. If you have questions, drop them below. I'll answer everything.

I was planning on doing some social media shorts where I post videos and add my own written music to the video and been messing around with Grok video generation but the videos are limited to 5 seconds, even with the paid X.com $8 subscription. Does anyone know if getting the higher tier subscription (SuperGrok I think it's called) raises the duration of videos? I tried to make a longer scene, basically telling Grok to use the last frame from a video for the first frame in the next video generation and to make it a seamless and smooth transition, and then stitching together the 5 second videos into a longer one (with ffmpeg command line tool... lol I'm old school) ... but this method isn't ideal because the video stutters every 5 seconds. I don't know if it's a limitation of the tool I'm using (ffmpeg) and need to get an actual video editor or if it's a limitation of trying to glue videos together in this manner. Any way to fix this? Are there other video generation AI that can create longer videos? I'm guessing I have to pay...is there any free ones or are the free ones also limited to 5 seconds? I like Grok because I use it daily to research things, and the image/video realism looks fantastic. I get it that these things are still new and in active development, but the 5 second limitation is a real vibe killer and so far my attempts to work around it have failed. If I gotta pay I might just have to, but it would be nice if there is a free tier that I can mess around with first, but it's not necessary. Anyone know any good ones or what would you recommend/use?
