OBSIDIAN from InnerMost47 is a free and open-source AI-powered jam partner for macOS and Windows (VST3 plugin). If you’ve read any of my posts on artificial intelligence, you’ll know I approach it with caution. I don’t think AI is inherently bad, and I know we aren’t at the stage of being replaced by robot musicians. However, I believe AI, in some cases, is on the verge of reducing the need for creative thought, and that’s a dangerous path to go down. The counter-argument often references musical snobbery as a reason to fear the advent of AI, and that’s probably true…

Jelly Roll is a man who wears his big heart on his sleeve. The country superstar took time out on Thursday night (June 5) to thank tour mate Post Malone for taking him out on this summer’s Big Ass stadium tour. Following the pair’s Wednesday night show at New York’s Citi Field, Jelly posted a long, loving tribute to Posty and praising the rapper-turned-country-crooner for inspiring him every night. “Dear Austin, I say this on stage in some way every night, but man, being on this tour with you has been unreal. I have never had more fun in my…

50 Cent rushed to Instagram Thursday (June 5) after speculation swirled that his ex, Daphne Joy, may be the anonymous “Jane Doe” who testified against Sean “Diddy” Combs in his ongoing federal criminal trial. The rapper-turned-mogul posted a photo holding his son with Joy, captioned simply: “WTF!” The timing of the post—just hours after Jane took the stand—sent social media into overdrive. Many interpreted it as a reaction to the possibility that Joy was the woman describing disturbing allegations against Diddy. On Thursday (June 5), the woman identified in court only as “Jane” became the third alleged victim to testify…

Plughugger has introduced a new collection of deep and hypnotic techno sounds for the Pigments software synthesizer from Arturia.

Artist Media Studio just released their CPT-100 Mastering Compressor for free. Before we dive into the details, please note that this plugin is only compatible with VST2 plugin hosts on Windows. If you use macOS or Linux, feel free to raise your fists and shout at the clouds. If you need a free mastering compressor, you can also check out the much-loved Fircomp 2 by Jon V Audio or the legendary Kotelnikov by Tokyo Dawn Labs. However, I digress; the CPT-100 is intended to be a relatively transparent and easy-to-use plugin, inspired by hardware units that employ typical FET-style compression.…
