Rather than get too meticulous about the SPI points as far as SoundGym, I want to really have mnemonics kick in to where I get to a place where I feel like I’m nailing the frequencies and compression mostly so I can improve and release music or at best my mixes have less issues so I can be more consistent when releasing music.

Yeah. I decided to dedicate the first few weeks of the year to getting as well-organised as I can, which basically means going through all the material on the computer. At the moment I'm dealing with samples, loops and one hits. It's a herculean task, but I think it will save me a lot of time in the future.

Hi Dylan :) Best wishes! I hope all is well! Maybe this year I'll decide to put my productions on Spotify... even if I realize that I'm far from making them sound the way I'd like!

But you know, in Italy they say: those who are satisfied enjoy it! 😀
Maybe the translation is not very correct :(

Some great ideas here! Nicely done.

@Heather Prescott: agreed. SPI is a bit rubbish. Real-world skills are much more important.
@Anthony Zambonini: it's a great time to get all your musical ducks in a row. I'm doing a similar thing at the moment with songs that I didn't finish in 2024.
@Vittorio Di Rocco: Hey friend! I have a lot of issues with Spotify and what they have done to the musical landscape, especially around oversaturation and artist remuneration. Never mind, there's nothing I can do about it. As long as we keep enjoying it, it's all good... just like your Italian saying!
@Jason Stanley: great idea and worthy goal to have. I'd say that it counts as a resolution. I might even do that too... ha!

Best wishes everyone!

@ Diylan... You are completely right! Spotify has become crap... and that's a real shame. The problem is that there aren't many other possible alternatives. There are a lot of discontents about it and they are all justified. But as you say, what can we do? Kind regards, see you soon :)
