This is a friendly reminder that I'm open for instrumental music commissions. If you're a content creator, or someone looking for custom music, let me know! For examples, check out my YouTube channel, especially the "Live Performances" and various "Magic" playlists. youtube.com/@redwolfaudi...

Sitting at School of Rock and listening to the bands rehearse never gets old.

Audio Engineers: What's your favorite use for a dynamic EQ?

Audio engineers: Additive or subtractive EQ? What's your general approach?

"My Heart", now available on Bandcamp... redwolfaudio.bandcamp.com/track/my-heart

I get so weird about promoting my music, but I'll promote the hell out of other people's. I'm just bad at that, but trying to get better. redwolfaudio.bandcamp.com youtube.com/@redwolfaudi...

If you like rock: redwolfaudio.bandcamp.com If you like classical: www.youtube.com/@RedWolfAudi...

So I'm kind of musically all over the place. I write everything from classical to hard rock. I've played jazz. I've played gospel. I was in musicals and show choirs. Any of my musical friends out there in the same boat?

I've reached the age where I'm not sure if I'm sore from the gym or from "sleeping wrong". Like, how the hell do you SLEEP WRONG?!?!

I missed Bandcamp Friday, but I do HAVE a Bandcamp, so if you're interested in a small artist making 90s and 2000s hard rock, look no further than: redwolfaudio.bandcamp.com

I talk a lot of dumb shit online, but I also occasionally do this... youtu.be/W43WwXxky9M?...

I joined a band.

So my kid is a really talented drummer. He's got a great ear and solid timing. I just need to figure out how to get him to PRACTICE. Open to ideas!

Another downside of automating social media posts is that it's really hard to respond to comments across all the platforms. I'm really sorry if I don't see your replies! I appreciate you!

The downside of automating social media posts is, if you make a typo, it's spread all over the internet.

Question for engineers and computer nerds (of which I am one): Do you unplug your equipment when there's lightning in your area, or am I just going overboard and being paranoid?

This past Monday, the community showed up to Omaha Public School's board meeting in protest of shock gloves being deployed by SROs in schools. On Tuesday the superintendent issued a statement that those gloves would not be allowed to be used. This is what happens when we show up. Keep showing up.

Let me be completely clear: While AI "music" is soundwaves organized in a way that it emulates actual music, it is not art. And those who prompt AI systems to generate said "music" are not artists.

Shooting for positive LUFS. (If you get this joke, you are a true audio nerd.)

I've decided to make my posts a potent combination of nerdy and unhinged. Good luck, everybody.

I've been seeing more posts from producers that are supportive of small creators using whatever gear they have available and it makes me very happy.

His name is Fritz and he's a fucking gentleman.

So we went and got ourselves one of these...

Took a couple of days off to hang out with my son before he heads back to school. Best use of PTO days ever.

Back to school means it's tough to get into the studio. Waiting for the dust to settle so I can get back in there.

Just a reminder that I occasionally release music... redwolfaudio.bandcamp.com/track/dont-go

The more audio engineering I do, the less I adjust EQ when just listening to music. I want to hear songs the way the mixing and mastering engineers intended.

To my fellow musicians/artists/producers: Do you have a love/hate relationship with social media? I'm out here loving engagement but hating click-bait. (And yes, I get the irony of me posting this.)

Ozomatli's Embrace the Chaos is just hitting right now. Damn...

I'm looking for recommendations on some of the best recordings you've ever heard. Genre doesn't matter. Hit me.

Ozomatli's "Timido", aside from just being an incredible song, is one of my absolute favorite recordings. Everything is pristine and crystal clear. Listen on good speakers or headphones. It never disappoints.

A question I've been wrestling with lately, and I'm interested in your thoughts: Is there a place in society for AI? I'll always be completely against it for the arts, but is there a positive use for it?

When it rains, it pours. I have two rocks projects, some EDM writing, mixing, and mastering, and songs to write. Now I need more time...

It's School of Rock time again with my son. I'm listening to a band rehearse Funkytown. The kids are all right.

It's social media night! I'm stuck at 179 followers over on Thr3ads, so if you're over there, please hit me with a follow!

I understand they use proprietary file formats, but it would be really cool if I could explore effects chains from REAPER and import them into Cantabile.

I've gone from zero projects to like 6 in just a few weeks. When it rains, man...

I wonder if my opinions on AI will bring out the tech bros.

So streaming has been really tough to do lately. The studio has a LOT going on right now that I can't stream, which is both really cool and not at all at the same time. I've been collecting some ideas for videos, though.

I think a lot about the intersection of music and politics. All music, especially modern American popular music, is political, whether the artist intends it or not.

I feel like being "politically neutral" as a musician is a super privileged position to take, especially right now. A lot of artists don't have the luxury, and those of us who do owe it to them to take a stand.

I started playing Minecraft with my kid again and now I'm going to have to quit my job because it's all I want to do now.

I have an almost-finished song that I really need someone to tell me to release.

As I dig into Cantabile, I think I'm going to do some videos on it. I feel like it's a relatively unknown gem for live and stream performance.

To my fellow musicians: Have any of you used Cantabile for live performance before? I just installed it and am kind of in love with it.

I've got 30 minutes to say something interesting and I'm drawing a blank.
