It’s not unusual for lawmakers in any country to try to do the right thing only to fall pry to unintended consequences due to a poorly written law. This could be a hastily written amendment to a bill that is destined to pass, or just a bill that was either poorly conceived or not thought through. This is what just happened in Uruguay and Spotify has made the decision to […]

I’ve had so many great guests over the 10 years and nearly 500 episodes of my Inner Circle Podcast. I always enjoy revisiting them, as I hope you do as well.   One of the best is from back in 2016 with hit mixer Josh Gudwin. Josh has mixed huge hits for Justin Bieber, Bad Bunny, and Dua Lipa, among many others, and has won 12 Grammy’s for his work. He’s […]

Fraudulent plays hurt everyone involved in streaming, but now Spotify is taking a small step towards thwarting the problem. The company has stated that it will charge 10 Euros for each song that receives 90% of its streams in a fraudulent manner. This seems like a small tap on the wrist instead of a massive hammer blow, but at least it’s heading in the right direction. The policy is designed […]

It wasn’t that long ago that record labels where fighting over artists who had their 15 minutes (more like seconds) of fame on TikTok. Large deals were handed out in hopes that the next wave of talent had arrived. The problem was that almost none of those deals ever worked out, as the viral music star of the time couldn’t sustain success beyond one song. As every artist, band, label […]

I’m pleased to announced that my new Musician’s Ai Handbook is now available in both print and ebook versions. This comprehensive guide (already #1 on Amazon – thank you everyone!) shows musicians, artists, songwriters, producers, and anyone in the music business how to use artificial intelligence as a highly creative tool to generate new ideas, polish their productions, and help to promote their music. The book is packed with useful […]

Tell me if you can figure this one out. YouTube made several announcements this week about incorporating Ai on its platform, but the announcements seem to be at odds with one another. The first one indicated that it would crack down on any Ai deep-fake clones that are uploaded, and the second said that it’s going to be offering Ai-generated deep-fake clones of popular artists with its new Dream Track […]

On my latest podcast episode: Audio engineer and archivist Bill Smith talks about the preparation normally required before a tape can be transferred, his favorite type of clients, the thing about archiving that most people don’t realize, a surprising format that he gets calls to restore, and much more.
