It’s been a great series and I would highly suggest it and will have the links down below to his Playlist on this and his products.
But of course, I HAD to steal the idea for a podcast.Should you REALLY put your music in Stock Libraries and MicroSync Sites? Well, here are some reasons why you should (n't)(Warning #:1 Snarkiness Level 10!)(Warning #2: Contains potential AI Robots that could take over at any moment!)

Music

What DAW (or Digital Audio Workstation) would you choose if you had to switch DAWS?

Not what DAW is BEST! What would your transition be? From Logic to Studio One? From FL to Logic? From Ableton to Pro Tools? (That would be weird)

EP104. 

In this episode we talk to Steven Melin of Video Game Music Alliance, who composes music exclusively for video games on all levels including independent, Steam, and console gaming.

Did you know that the average yearly salary for FREELANCE Video Game Music Composers and Sound Designers is $80,000 per year? (Source: https://www.gamesoundcon.com/post/game-audio-industry-survey-2023)

I think it's time we take this more seriously as a music income.

EP102. Surprising First Quarter Stock Numbers | BMI New Site | Deposit Photos

Today I try and bring you some solace and relief to that sinking feeling that AI is going to replace or displace you in the world of music.

We talk about why to stop listening to the media and doomsayers, how AI can actually help us in our music, why Stock music is certainly the low hanging fruit, why Sync may not be as affected, what I am doing to protect some of my compositions from AI use, the importance of skill and education, and then hear from our AI expert, Chad GiPiT.
