Someone made a site that tracks what people are talking about at public city council meetings across the US. The only thing discussed more than data centers? Pickleball courts.

THE INTERNET IS DEAD! I made a plugin that lets your computer sing to you. I used it to make this song. You can try it yourself, it's opensource and free: songaday.studio/plugins bid on the 1/1: songaday.world/6501

Most audio in the world was never recorded on separate tracks. @themoko breaks down source separation on @Dell's #ReshapingWorkflows with @LoganatDell, starting with how we pull vocals, instruments, or a single speaker out of a finished mix.

Dialogue RT isolates dialogue from a live feed in 11 ms end to end — measured model input to isolated output. That's not noise suppression. It's two stems: dialogue, and everything else. On NVIDIA DGX Spark and Blackwell architecture GPUs. audioshake.ai/post/isolating…

Four days at IBC, hundreds of conversations. The question we heard most: ā€œCan it run on the feed, not the file?ā€ Answer: yes. Live, less than 11 milliseconds. Another great year in the books.

"Music is more durable than more strictly cognitive tasks like coding." Why? The core of music lives in live performance, learning an instrument, and the artist-fan connection. The stuff that's hardest to automate is exactly the stuff we value most. Great clip from @trapital šŸ‘‡

CEO @themoko on the distinction that keeps coming up: @AudioShakeAI isn't generative AI — and why that matters more for media + entertainment workflows in 2026 than it did even a year ago.

"I'm going to Disney World" is almost synonymous with winning the @SuperBowl. @ESPN wanted the original Phil Simms clip for their 2026 ad — but the music was baked in. We pulled his voice from the mix. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=w1l3z-tm…

Loved the story. Though I have to say it threw a wrinkle into my plan to one day retire as a lampshade.

To all my art/music/scene-building interested friends, this @themoko piece on generative AI and music is what so many of us have been talking about. You have to read this one. A snip below,
I got tired of constantly hearing that generative music is the next Napster, so I wrote something with exactly that title for legendary @RuncieDan and @TrapitalMedia trapital.co/2024/03/08/is-ge…

If we made a mixtape of our projects in 2023, I have to say it would sound pretty good 🪩@WeAreDeLaSoul, @Sia, @NinaSimoneMusic, @SZA – and that’s just our work with the music industry. Take a look at our 2023 highlights and hopes for 2024: audioshake.ai/post/2023-reca…
