The Sound Study
Man, am I torn by this… Below is a song I “wrote”… I didn’t actually write any of the lyrics, or music, I went in, told this AI to write me a song about the Singularity, make it in the style of progressive metal, ambient, electronic music. I tweaked it as I went along with different prompts, but below is the result…
For reference, The Singularity in the context I’m talking about is the merging of man and machine, but it also can mean the point where an AI we create surpasses our intelligence.
I’m sure I’ll get into this further somewhere because I have WAY too many conflicting thoughts about this all.. Might be worth getting a bunch of my musician and geek friends together to do a podcast about this.. I don’t know, but man, this makes my head explode in good and bad ways…..
Give it a listen if you are so inclined, it’s very “Evanescence” like to my ears, but read the lyrics as well…. Love to know your thoughts…

I think enough has been said by much better musician’s and people in the industry about Eddie Van Halen, so I’ll leave it at saying he was someone that will go down as a true pioneer and game changer in the history of guitar playing. Here’s a really great interview he did a few years ...
The post Goodbye to a true pioneer appeared first on The Sound Study.
When I took my Audio Engineering program a few years back we spent a substantial amount of time on digital recording. One part dealt with the shape of the wave form and how, because it was basically created by taking a sample numerous times a second. Instead of being a smooth rounded shape it would ...

OK so if you’ve been playing the home game I left your cords dangling at the end of that last post on ports. Time to grab your cable and stick it into something!! You’re thinking about sex again aren’t you? Ugh you people.. Audio interfaces people!!!! Lets talk dirty about those. So what is an ...

Eew I can sense the excitement in the air, we’re talking about ports, where you stick stuff in and magical things happen. You’re excited right? Right? Be honest, after that intro your mind went to the gutter… Perv 😉 COMPUTER ports my friend, that is where we’re at today. How you connect your audio interface ...

It’s kinda funny that I’ve focused on audio talk and remixes but never get into what I actually make a living at and how it relates to audio. So as you may or may not know I’ve worked in IT for 20 something years. I love technology in all it’s various forms and in particular ...

It’s been a while since I posted a remix, I had some free time this weekend so I thought I would remix a song and throw it up here 🙂 I picked another genre I am unfamiliar with because expanding horizons is always a good thing. In this case it’s a “folk” song, but there ...
The post Everybody Knows By Christina Holmes Remix appeared first on The Sound Study.
One of the things I love about mixing is the exposure to different types of music I normally don’t listen to. Take this remix, it’s a pop song, not generally speaking my thing. I start assembling it by adjusting each instrument part and it’s individual sound one by one to what I think it should ...
The post Chase K – Long Long Way Down Remix appeared first on The Sound Study.
Kind of jumping all over the place here in terms of the process, but rather than starting with recording I thought I would start by mixing a track. The track I chose was a nice little acoustic number called Long Long Way Down by ChaseK. The Gear I thought I should really try to use ...
The post Trying Out The Presonus Ecosystem Part Two – Mixing appeared first on The Sound Study.
So years ago when I started getting interested in mixing I was looking for a DAW that was easy to learn but had the features I thought I would need as I became more proficient and learned more about the process. I ended up going with a DAW called Mixcraft which honestly, I still love ...
