Tri Repetae is 30 years old this year. That's like music from the 50s when we were listening to all those great songs in the 80s. Except it's not; it still sounds like the future.

"Man shakes fist at sky" could very well be the most important parable for all of us. Understand what you can actually control. Let go of the rest because holding onto it is a futile self-burn from the inside.

It's cool that if a company uses Google for email, you can use autocomplete in your personal GMail to find out someone's work email address. Just start guessing
[email protected]
and once you get a name and photo in the popup, you've found them! I let Google know and they told me it was not a bug. :/

Listening to your favorite music with your studio setup, with the audio routed through Blackhole or similar and monitored through your DAW (Ableton Live shown), you can see how your metering tools look with the best music going through them. Perhaps this is one way to get better mixes?
