Case in point

In April of 2023, a mysterious track titled “heart on my sleeve” appeared online: a duet seemingly between Drake and The Weeknd, except neither star had anything to do with it.  The song was generated by an anonymous producer using artificial intelligence to clone the artists’ voices, ...

Hope this happens in Australia and other countries.
Do agree AI is a great tool for ideas but increasing the loss of income for creative- no way

GREAT MICROPHONE FOR SALE
Now that I'm not recording vocals anymore, I'm selling my go to vocal mike - my MILAB VIP50.
I first saw/heard this microphone in James Morrison's studio and ordered mine from Sweden the next week.
Quality make, with a dead flat frequency response (to 19 kHz) and polarity options, etc make this the perfect studio mike for vocals or instruments.
Only ever in clean studio, it is supplied in its case, with Rycote USM shockmount.
Its frequency response chart can be seen attached as well.
Current as new second hand prices seem to be around AUD$4,000- 4,500. I'm offering it first to my network here for AUD$2,000 plus postage before I go to normal sales sites.
You can read up more on this mike in the following articles.

Please DM if interested.

This fascinates me . The detail and time put in (including the chamber set up itself).

Hoping to read the results of their research

Joshua Bodon is sick of hearing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” More specifically, he’s sick of hearing one 25-second clip of the song repeated more than 550 times.

Hey all
Here is a great little chart to give a guide to the LUFS level you should be around so your track doesn't get all its dynamics sqashed/flattened by the services compression. (Which is why a lot of mastering engineers suggest 2 masters if doing CD/vynl release as well as streaming
