There are so many ways that AI is now being used almost every day in music production and creation. From reducing noise to separating stems to fixing dialog to even creating whole songs, chances are you’re using it more often then you think. That said, it’s now time to be aware that some of the […]

On this week’s episode, indie plugin developers who want to launch a genuinely new synthesis tool will recognize their own blind spots in Evan Mezeske’s story.

New Music Gear Monday: PSP BBDelay Analog Ambience Processor Plugin

Bobby Owsinski — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 10:03:00 +0000

There’s a reason so many mixers still reach for an old bucket brigade delay pedal instead of a pristine digital one. The repeats drift a little, the top end softens, and every echo feels slightly different from the one before. Like with many early effects, that imperfection is exactly what makes a track feel alive. […]

Into Space Music? Then You’ll Want The Extraterrestrial Guitar Thing

Bobby Owsinski — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 10:03:00 +0000

Yeah, I scratched my head too . . . but you can’t take your eyes off it. The Extraterrestrial Guitar Thing came from the mind of Swedish designer and experimental instrument builder Love Hultén, and it’s really more of synthesizer rather than guitar. There are no strings, but you have a touch sensitive neck, and […]

New Music Gear Monday: KIT Plugins BB Chamber D Reverb Plugin

Bobby Owsinski — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Every producer chasing a great reverb sound eventually runs into the same problem. Algorithmic reverbs can get close, but nothing quite matches the sound of a real chamber. The trouble is that almost none of us have access to one. That’s part of why Nashville’s Blackbird Studio has become such a destination for engineers, and […]

Studio Etiquette When Your Session Ends That Will Be Appreciated

Bobby Owsinski — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:03:00 +0000

I’ve covered studio etiquette rules here in the past, but they were primarily for when a session was in progress. When the session, or your part in it, is completed, the etiquette doesn’t stop though, as this excerpt from The Studio Musician’s Handbook (written with ace studio bass player Paul ILL) illustrates. It’s perfectly natural […]
