A little tongue-in-cheek "stem education" on April 1.

If you know you know.

Start-up aiSTEM has launched what it claims is the ultimate stem separation software. The plugin, known simply as StemSplit Pro , uses proprietary AI algorithms to isolate instruments, vocals, or any audio element with unmatched precision—by being applied to every single track in your DAW.

His work on Eraserhead inspired me to pursue a sound-for-picture career path. Probably my favorite filmmaker. RIP.

Director-writer David Lynch, who radicalized American film with with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and network television with “Twin Peaks,” has died. He was 78. https://bit.ly/40is3yQ

My IMDB page, under construction. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3665046/?ref_=fn_all_nme_1

Not including all of my many ADR gigs as I don't want to be known strictly as an ADR guy. Unfortunately many earlier PBS docs I mixed are not on IMDB :(.

The Music Never Stops. But it pauses and bows its head sometimes. RIP Phil Lesh. Thanks for the good sounds and good times.

This article addresses two of my pet peeves, chiefly the new and growing trend by audio newbies of calling tracks "stems", and the unfortunate marketing of sound absorbing products to people who think they're buying "soundproofing". But it doesn't address what I find the most baffling and long-lived audio misnomers - calling a re-edit and reconstruction of a fully mixed song with other audio and calling it a "remix". This misnomer has been around for decades, but I've never heard anyone in the industry call it out.

The audio industry has its own words, in fact we’ve got as much jargon and acronyms as an episode of Line of Duty. Many of them matter, here are five we need to stop confusing… now.
