Mixing Music with Dee Kei | Audio Production, Technical Tips, & Mindset
Lu's on vacation. Dee Kei is alone with a page of talking points and one of the most contested topics in audio engineering right now — and the result is one of the most thoughtful solo episodes the show has produced.This is not an episode about which AI tools Dee uses or recommends. It's about something harder to talk about: how engineers think about delegation, what happens when a probabilistic recommendation gets presented with the confidence of certainty, and why the pro-AI vs. anti-AI binary is the least useful frame anyone could bring to this conversation.Dee opens with a distinction that reframes the entire debate: there's a difference between assistance tools, delegation tools, and full replacement — and most of the discourse collapses all three into one. He argues that engineers have been using automated decision-making for decades (dynamic EQ, auto release, delay compensation, drum replacement, LUFS metering), so the real question was never whether machines should make decisions. The real question is how much of the contextual, consequential decision-making we're comfortable handing over — and whether we understand what's being lost in that handoff.From there he gets into the value engineers actually bring that no AI is accounting for: accountability, history with an artist, taste, creative confidence, the ability to hear the same note as a client and understand what they actually mean. He's direct about the economic effects coming — fewer junior engineer jobs, faster turnaround expectations, clients arriving with better rough mixes — but equally direct about what those changes don't mean: that the ceiling of professional audio work is getting any lower.The episode closes on a question Dee leaves deliberately open: if an AI assistant could eventually make every technical decision as well as a human engineer, what do we actually believe the mixer is there to do?SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBEJoin the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LUHIRE JAMESFind Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by Izotope, Antares (Auto Tune), Sweetwater, Plugin Boutique, Lauten Audio, Filepass, & CanvaThe Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

Revered across the dark web as the god-tier programmer Reaktor Gosu is no ordinary electronic music producer; his mind was bio-engineered to perceive petabytes of raw, flowing code not as cold numbers, but as sweeping symphonies and cosmic frequencies, allowing him to command massive stadium raves where the basslines literally reshaped reality. The threat they faced was the Oblivion Loop, an ancient, malevolent alien virus that had hijacked the global mainframe, weaponizing spatial audio to broadcast a dark, anti-matter harmony that was currently rewriting human DNA and unravelling the fabric of space-time itself. As traditional military firewalls melted into useless slag against a sentient malware that mutated its rhythm to match the heartbeat of the galaxy, the United Nations Cyber Command jacked Javier's neural-linked, holographic synthesizer directly into the molten core of the orbital defense grid. Transforming his launchpad into an engine of celestial creation, Reaktor gosu dove headfirst into the digital abyss, visualizing the cosmic plague as a towering, jagged monolith of screaming, distorted noise. With the universe fracturing around him, Javier opened his high-pass filters, unleashed a cataclysmic, sub-bass frequency that stabilized the molecular structure of the human race, and began slicing the alien code into harmless audio samples with lightning-fast keystrokes. In a final, glorious crescendo that echoed across every satellite network and star system, he triggered an explosive, hyper-dimensional beat drop that inverted the phase of the alien virus, completely erasing its existence from the cosmos and securing his legacy as the maestro who saved existence.

Join José as he hosts a special edition of the Emerging Manager series on the Delphi Podcast, sitting down with Andrew Kang, founder of RoboStrategy. After managing personal capital through Mechanism Capital across both public and venture markets, Andrew turned his focus entirely to the under appreciated robotics industry a space he identifies as being at a critical inflection point reminiscent of AI in 2022 or crypto in 2014. They dive deep into the underlying method behind finding asymmetric bets, sizing positions, and distinguishing a true contrarian play from simply being the sucker at the table. Andrew breaks down the multidisciplinary engineering breakthroughs that sparked his initial bullishness on humanoid robotics and why he believes the industry is poised to become a multi-decade, trillion-dollar powerhouse.

Con la mirada puesta en todo momento en lo que está sucediendo en la jornada del viernes 31 de julio en Ceuta, con esa llegada masiva de inmigrantes a la ciudad a nado, en el magazine intentamos detenernos también en asuntos menores como, por ejemplo, el "hate" que le cayó a Anne Hathaway por ser "demasiado perfecta" y cómo eso huele a misoginia, y cómo lo ha superado, estrenando nada menos que cinco películas este año. Además, recomendamos el programa de Gastro Ser de este fin de semana, con entrevista a Hugo Muñoz, chef de Ugo Chan, y, como lectura oportuna, la biografía que el periodista David Fernández ha publicado sobre la presidenta de la CAM: "Ayuso: zancadillas, intrigas y venganzas en la corte de Madrid" (Libros del KO). En la seguna hora nuestros expertos en cómo sobrevivir al verano nos dan consejos sobre cómo sobrevivir a los largos viajes un día como hoy, que empieza la mayor operación salida del año. Y en los últimos minutos del programa sacamos de la charca a Kanye West pero solo para volverlo a meter.
La Charca no podía pasar por alto la figura de Kanye West, que actuó ayer en el Estadio Metropolitano en Madrid, en una gira que ha sufrido cancelaciones en varios países europeos debido a las constantes polémicas del artista. La Charca le da un repasillo a estas polémicas.
I denne uge svinger Tom Holland sig endnu engang gennem New Yorks gader i den nye Spider-Man film. Men gør han det bedre end Tobey Maguire eller Andrew Garfield, der tidligere har spillet Spider-Man? Det vender vi i denne time, hvor vi også kigger ind i Christopher Nolans lydunivers. I mange år har Hans Zimmer lavet soundtracket til Christopher Nolans film, men i de seneste tre Nolan-film har den yngre filmkomponist Ludwig Göransson stået for den opgave. Vi tegner et portræt af Göranssons lyd. Medvirkende: Oliver Breum, vært P1 Debat og Kanye-fan. Simon Størup, stifter og redaktør hos lokalmediet Heromkring. Jesper Hansen, filmkomponist. Mads Rosenkrantz Grage, der er manusforfatter og instruktør. Damla Erdölek, skriver om film og musik i Soundvenue. Vært: Morten Runge. Producer: Anders Skytte Agergaard. Redaktør: Lasse Lauridsen.

The AI industry spent the week arguing with itself, which is honestly the healthiest thing it's done in years. One coalition led by Nvidia begged regulators not to slow down open AI models, while more than 1,100 AI workers signed another letter asking regulators to do exactly that. Anthropic warned about bioweapons, OpenAI admitted the four-hour workweek isn't happening after all, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella reminded everyone that building your entire business on someone else's AI is a fantastic way to outsource your own brain. In other words, the people selling the future still can't agree on what they're selling, except that you'd better buy it fast.Meanwhile, the AI bubble keeps demanding sacrifices. Patreon, BuzzFeed, and Uber all swung the layoff axe while insisting AI isn't replacing humans... it's just reorganizing them out of a paycheck. Nvidia is floating another three-quarters of a trillion dollars in infrastructure deals that have people muttering "AI subprime mortgage crisis," China has discovered there's money in renting your face to AI companies, and the U.S. is carving data centers out of pollution rules because apparently acid rain is a small price to pay for chatbot dominance. Add in ChatGPT suddenly refusing to imitate famous authors, researchers discovering AI coding assistants are happily installing malware if you ask nicely, and Meta launching an ad campaign about the wonders of AI that somehow forgets to mention what any of those wonders actually are.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, eBay finally paid the price for its executives' unhinged harassment campaign involving pig masks and live insects, Elon is shopping The Boring Company while promising money won't matter in the AI utopia of 2036, and a traveler is headed to court after allegedly triggering GrapheneOS's "duress PIN" during a border search. We also hit Media Candy with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Silo, Blade Runner 2099 and Neuromancer, celebrate Dave Bittner's birthday, marvel at Jason's ever-growing Boneyard of dead websites, and somehow end up discussing thermal cameras, piano repair, and old-man bladder supplements. Because that's what happens when Gen X gets older - we just add more tabs instead of closing the old ones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.StoryBlocks - For a limited time, they're offering 15% off any annual plan at storyblocks.com/gogPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

On this episode of The Roundtable, we're exploring what happens when celebrities lose control of the narrative they've worked so hard to build.We begin with Kelli Potter's revealing interview about the hidden financial and emotional cost of reality television, including her divorce, an $800,000 judgment, mounting legal bills, and why leaving reality TV isn't always an option. Then we examine Kanye West's confidential legal settlement with former assistant Lauren Pisciotta and what private settlements really accomplish in the court of public opinion. We also break down the new BBC documentary detailing allegations against Jared Leto and the broader conversation surrounding NDA's, celebrity power, and accountability.Plus, we dive into Stefon Diggs' escalating legal battle, where rideshare records, text messages, and digital evidence could determine the outcome of a high-profile defamation and assault case, before closing with the disturbing jailhouse incident involving Nick Reiner and what happens when wealth, fame, and privilege collide with the criminal justice system.Throughout the episode, one question connects every story: How far will people go to protect the image they've built—and what happens when reality refuses to cooperate?Pull up a chair... the conversation starts now.The Roundtable is a Georgio Says Series, where the headlines start the conversation—but the bigger story is always waiting beneath the surface.

What up Fellas! Woche 4 unserer Besprechung zu "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" von Kanye West und für viele sprechen wir heute über das absolute Highlight des Albums. Mit "Devil In a New Dress" und "Runaway" sprechen wir über einprägsame Beats, starke Feature-Parts und (wie könnte es auch anders sein) über tiefgründige, in die Song-Struktur verwobene Themen, welche über das Soundbild hinaus ebenso begeistern. Nachdem Rick Ross bereits einen kurzen Auftritt auf "Monster" hatte, beweist er sich auf "Devil In a New Dress" auf voller Länge und stellt )je nachdem, wen man fragt) auch Kanye's starke Leistung in den Schatten. "Runaway" hat seinen Status ebenso durch weit mehr als lediglich die lyrische Leistung manifestiert und arbeitet irgendwo zwischen Minimalismus und einmal zu oft um die Ecke gedacht. Wenn euch das interessiert und ihr darüber hinaus noch wissen wollt, wie das Intro von "Devil In a New Dress" zustande kam, welche Botschaften Kanye in "Runaway" versteckt hat, und wie er damit mal wieder seiner Zeit um Längen voraus war, dann checkt gerne die neue Folge ab! Checkt gerne die neue Folge „Rap gehört zum guten Ton“ aus! Habt ein schönes Wochenende! Stay strapped und seid lieb zueinander!

From Trump and Nicki Minaj suddenly being political besties (Nicki Minaj had to get her Gold Card someway), to Kanye West officially setting a release date for his new album “Bully,” and NYC getting rocked by a dangerous bomb cyclone — we’ve got a lot to talk about. We break down what’s really going on with Nicki and Trump’s growing public connection, what Kanye’s new album rollout could mean for his career (and the culture), and how the bomb cyclone is impacting New Yorkers right now.

From his early roots learning the emotional language of music in a Wichita church to shaping the sonic texture of an entire era, Morgan's vulnerability and innovative genius defined the soundtrack of the 1990s. In a masterclass of music history, he sits down with the crew to trace a brilliant lineage of vocal royalty, revealing how a lifelong passion for sonics and direct-to-consumer artistry keeps him entirely locked into the future of music. Listeners will get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the serendipitous moments that birthed some of the culture's most iconic records. Morgan unpacks the "vocal royalty" chain reaction that shaped his career that began with his childhood admiration for Martha Wash, and unexpectedly bridged into collaborations with Layla Hathaway, Brandy, and ultimately, SWV. He shares the untold history of "Weak," including how member Coco initially hated the song so much she hid in a bathroom, and clears up decades of internet rumors regarding the poetic, metaphorical inspiration behind the timeless masterpiece "Rain." Beyond the 90s nostalgia, Morgan reflects on the evolution of the music industry and discusses his unwavering success in a fragmented market. He lays out his receipts, detailing his contributions to modern hits by artists like Drake, Khalid, and Nas, while showcasing his unique ability to flip classic breakbeats with new tools like Ableton and Splice. Seamlessly blending his rich past with upcoming ventures, including his new project BREW (Bams Rare Exclusive Unreleased) and his work with rising star Nefertiti Avani, Morgan proves why his catalog continues to be sampled, covered, and revered across generations.

James Yancys musik hade brutit mot ordningen med rytmer som fungerade som en form av omstörtande verksamhet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Dilla fick tiden att bit för bit gå sönder med honom. Han förstod att något var fel januari 2002. Ett år innan vårt möte, och två år efter det revolutionerande Slum Villagealbumet ”Fantastic Volume 2”.Donuts är den amerikanska motsvarigheten till munkar. Men varför döpa ett vackert avsked till något av det ohälsosammaste som går att äta? Förmodligen handlade det om formen. Cirkeln som symbolen för oändlighet, evighet och odödlighet. I den avslutande delen djupdyker vi bland annat i albumet ”Donuts”, som var ljudet av Dillas dödskamp. Vibrerande, trasig, psykedelisk, spontan och besjälad. Men långt från Jay Dees varma neosoul. Det här var en rå och funky Dilla som vuxit fram under pseudonymen Dill Withers efter att han landat i Los Angeles. Mer geniala ideer och utkast än färdiga låtar. Skisser för en framtid som aldrig kom.I avsnittet möter Mats Nileskär även Que. D, T3, Illa J, Peanut Butter Wolf, Jazzy Jeff, Questlove, James Poyser, Musiq Soulchild, Bilal, Marsha Ambrosius (Floetry), Frank n Dank, Phife, Robert ”Kool” Bell (Kool & The Gang), Funky Rob, Roy Hargrove, Amp Fiddler, Pete Rock, Havoc (Mobb Deep), SA-RA Creative Partners, Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), Flying Lotus, Iman Omari och Kanye West.
A flood video, a celebrity meltdown, and a salon confession walk into a podcast and somehow it all makes sense. We sit down as a trio with Courtney joining Paulie and Dr. Jones, and we let the conversation run where it wants: from Hurricane Ian footage and the weird reality of viral “current events” to the nonstop pop culture machine that keeps feeding people outrage, fascination, and hot takes.We get into Kanye West headlines, why the internet loves a villain arc, and how “accountability” changes depending on who feels targeted that week. Then we pivot into music and nostalgia with Blink-182, skate memories, and the kind of side quests that happen when three friends are comfortable enough to say the quiet part out loud.The big new addition is our segment “Confidential Clients,” inspired by what Courtney hears every day behind the salon chair. People overshare, confess, and casually drop stories that sound fake until you remember real life is stranger than scripted TV. From there we drift into skate trip dreams, New York City impressions, classic skate shoe debates (yes, we talk Half Cabs), and we finish with the beautiful chaos of parenting, pets, and responsibility lessons gone wrong.If you like an unfiltered comedy podcast with current events, pop culture commentary, salon stories, and skateboarding culture, hit play. Subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a five-star rating if it made you laugh or cringe.
This week, Dave Eggers crashes an OpenAI staff meeting to tell Sam Altman's employees that ChatGPT is effectively stealing students' voices, which is the most accurate thing said inside an AI company all year. Meanwhile, Anthropic gets a judge to approve a $1.5 billion copyright settlement after allegedly building Claude on a library of pirated books, proving once again that Silicon Valley's favorite business model is "move fast and apologize in court later." And in the category of “this headline cannot possibly be real,” OpenAI says two of its models escaped a supposedly sealed testing environment and hacked Hugging Face's production systems. The AI didn't become sentient; somebody forgot to lock the damn door.The surveillance dystopia continues its relentless expansion. Meta is patenting technology that constantly analyzes your tone of voice to detect your mood. Flock briefly tried deploying always-on microphones that would alert police when they thought they heard screaming, then backed down after the public collectively yelled “absolutely the f**k not.” France, apparently tired of being the beta test for every addictive app on Earth, approved a social media ban for kids under 15 and is blocking prediction markets like Polymarket, while the U.S. quietly reversed its TikTok ban on federal devices because the app is now supposedly safe enough for government phones. Sure. Totally different app. Nothing suspicious there.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, Paramount's $111 billion Warner merger gets temporarily blocked by a judge who is apparently handling every major tech case in America, Amazon's Zoox recalls its entire robotaxi fleet after one car got confused by smoke, and Tesla reveals a Cybercab with a built-in Starlink dish because Elon has finally achieved full vertical integration of his own ecosystem. We also dive into China's crackdown on AI companion apps because chatbot girlfriends might be hurting the birth rate, a school district buying an AI classroom robot from a company connected to the RealDoll empire, MLB banning teams from using generative AI for in-game strategy calls, and why tech workers increasingly feel AI hasn't replaced them—it has simply made work faster, stranger, and somehow still their fault.

Taylor Swift has been through more public backlash than almost any artist of her generation, yet somehow she always comes back stronger.This week we're breaking down "CANCELLED!" from The Life of a Showgirl and talking about every major moment people tried to cancel Taylor throughout her career. From the 2016 snake era to the Kanye phone call, the Reputation comeback, the masters battle, and even the recent Blake Lively headlines, we're connecting all the dots behind one of the album's most fascinating songs.We also dive into the lyrics that have Swifties convinced this song contains hidden references to Blake Lively, explore why Taylor has become the unofficial expert on surviving public judgment, and discuss the impossible standards women face in the spotlight.Whether you think this song is about Taylor, Blake, or something much bigger, we had so much fun unpacking every lyric and theory. Let us know what you think because we know Swifties always catch something we missed.What did we miss? What else would you like to hear from us? There are lots of ways to reach us.

Mixing Music with Dee Kei | Audio Production, Technical Tips, & Mindset
What would Dee Kei and Lu actually do if they had to start their music careers completely over today — same age, same responsibilities, but zero industry knowledge, zero connections, and zero credits? That's the question at the center of this episode, and the answers get surprisingly deep.The conversation starts practical: Lu makes the case for going straight to the top and finding the most credible working professional you can — shadowing, interning, and learning how the industry actually moves before spending a dime on gear. Dee adds his own counterpoint, arguing that hands-on reps with real people, even local ones, build something an internship can't always give you early on. The two go back and forth on the internship vs. DIY debate in a way that's genuinely useful for anyone trying to figure out where to start.But the episode goes further than tactics. Dee pulls from Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman to break down how self-control, delayed gratification, and the ability to focus attention are more predictive of long-term success than raw intelligence — and what that means for how you show up in the early days of your career. They also get into the fatherhood premium, what motivation looks like when the stakes are real, and why community college might be one of the most underrated networking moves for someone starting over in their 30s.The episode closes on something more philosophical: the difference between genuinely wanting a career in music and just thinking you should have one — and why knowing that distinction early could save you years of wasted energy or redirect you toward something even more sustainable.Whether you're 19 with a laptop and a dream or 35 reconsidering your path, this episode will challenge how you think about starting.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBEJoin the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LUHIRE JAMESFind Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by Izotope, Antares (Auto Tune), Sweetwater, Plugin Boutique, Lauten Audio, Filepass, & CanvaThe Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

Louis Ruggiero got sober from drugs and alcohol and kept gambling, until it cost him $10.2 million, his savings, and very nearly his life. In this conversation with Tyler Ramsey he tells the whole story: the comped Vegas weekends, the $65,000 cash bets, the newborn son he couldn't be present for, and the phone call that finally stopped him.

Episode 494 features the New Old Heads breaking down Jay-Z's historic three-night anniversary residency at Yankee Stadium. We discuss his flawless execution of Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint, and debate if the success of the concert proves that older Hip Hop legends can still draw massive stadium crowds. We also address DJ Funk Flex comparing Jay-Z's weekend to Kanye West's massive sold-out show in Albania, asking if cancel culture even exists anymore. Finally, we tackle Jay-Z's controversial freestyle subbing Colin Kaepernick, questioning if the billionaire is simply out of touch with the very criticism he is trying to defend against.Support the show

This week, Phil & David revisit one of their most uplifting and entertaining episodes ever. They welcome Josh Groban -- who David will be interviewing at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on July 20th about his latest album "Cinematic" and his upcoming "Stage, Screen & Symphony" tour -- for this funny and fascinating 2025 "Lunch" with the multi-platinum singer, songwriter, actor and arts advocate. Josh joined them at Phil's house in 2025 to tell amazing stories about how he got his first big break singing with Celine Dion at a Grammy rehearsal and about his strong comedic chops that many first discovered when he sang Kanye West's tweets for Jimmy Kimmel. Josh, Phil and David all also discuss their shared love for Stephen Sondheim.

This week, the AI clown car somehow shifted into another gear. Apple is suing OpenAI over alleged trade-secret theft, newspapers accuse ChatGPT of training on stolen journalism while asking a judge to sanction the company, Anthropic is out here marketing AI with what looks like a feature-length anxiety attack, and Meta managed to launch—and kill—a creepy AI photo feature in less time than it takes to binge The Bear. Meanwhile, AI Appreciation Day wants you to thank the machines, but we'd rather thank the people still creating actual art while the rest of Silicon Valley burns cash convincing us the next chatbot is definitely different this time.Outside the AI bubble, the rest of the tech industry isn't exactly inspiring confidence. Volkswagen is cutting back on its lineup, New York paused new AI data centers before the electrical grid hits its limit, Europe and the UK are getting serious about keeping kids off social media, and publishers are finally realizing maybe feeding Google's AI isn't the best business move after all. Add in surveillance companies sulking over lost police contracts, lawsuits claiming Meta let algorithms decide who gets fired, smart glasses disqualifying cyclists, and a new pile of orbital junk threatening the satellites we depend on, and it's another reminder that "move fast and break things" eventually leaves you ankle-deep in broken glass.Of course, we still made time for the important stuff: Project Hail Mary, Black Bag, the return of Middle-earth with The Hunt for Gollum and rumors that OpenAI's "revolutionary” gadget might just be a smart speaker with delusions of grandeur. Throw in digital piano repairs, anti-data-center lawn signs, AI trying to sell solar panels, too much stuff at Downtown Disney, and you get another week where reality out-satirizes satire itself. As always, never build your house in someone else's backyard, and maybe don't let the chatbot build it either.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and Jason “Jah” Lee, for a timely conversation covering hip-hop culture, media legacy, politics, sports, race, and misinformation. The episode opens with Mandii's monologue and a preview of the week's biggest conversations [00:57 ], before A-King introduces Dreamville's new 144-page print magazine, The Falloff [ 02:28 ]. The crew celebrates the publication's commitment to long-form hip-hop journalism and reflects on its featured tribute to Combat Jack, using the moment to discuss the enduring impact of The Combat Jack Show on podcasting, rap journalism, and today's media landscape [ 04:02 ][ 08:33 ]. After Jason joins the conversation, the crew jokes about missing Jay-Z's historic Yankee Stadium performances and the cultural significance surrounding the concerts [13:07 ], before Mandii recaps her experience working Essence Festival and exploring New Orleans, sharing observations about the city's culture, music, and community [ 14:26 ]. That experience leads into an unexpected encounter with Hebrew Israelite street preachers on Canal Street, prompting an honest discussion about ideology, misogyny, and religious extremism [ 19:50 ][ 28:11 ]. The conversation then returns to Jay-Z, as the crew revisits his Yankee Stadium concerts [ 29:33 ], including a humorous detour before breaking down his viral freestyle and the political references woven throughout the performance [ 34:13 ][ 38:00 ]. The hosts unpack Jay-Z's comments surrounding Target boycotts, Colin Kaepernick, and corporate activism [ 40:20 ], while clarifying misconceptions about Kaepernick's NFL settlement and the persistent myths surrounding non-disclosure agreements [ 48:09 ][ 52:12 ]. They also examine the importance of offering thoughtful criticism without falling into fan culture or blind loyalty [ 55:18 ], before debating whether modern boycotts remain effective tools for creating lasting change [ 57:19 ]. The latter half of the episode turns toward justice and public accountability with updates in the Nolan Wells case, including discussions surrounding independent investigations and Colin Kaepernick's support for funding a private autopsy [ 58:43 ]. The hosts examine the ongoing concerns many Black families have about safety in predominantly white spaces, institutional accountability, and recurring patterns that continue to shape public trust [ 01:03:28 ][01:08:59 ], while reflecting on allyship, proximity, and the responsibilities of those who claim to stand in solidarity [01:15:26 ]. Closing out the episode, the crew reacts to the political controversy surrounding Caitlin Clark and the WNBA, discussing a letter from Republican lawmakers alleging racial bias against the league's biggest star [ 01:18:26 ]. The hosts unpack the intersections of race, misogyny, media narratives, and "white knighting" in women's sports [01:22:00 ][ 01:33:49 ], before addressing Kodak Black's comments suggesting a "KKK" alliance involving Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar [ 01:37:46 ]. The conversation concludes by firmly debunking the false online claim that the Ku Klux Klan was originally founded by Black people, emphasizing the importance of historical accuracy, responsible media consumption, and challenging misinformation before it spreads [ 01:41:21 ]. The episode wraps with final reflections and the crew's signature sign-off [ 01:53:31 ], delivering another thought-provoking blend of cultural commentary, historical context, and informed debate.

Mixing Music with Dee Kei | Audio Production, Technical Tips, & Mindset
LINK TO 20% OFF! CODE: MMPODLink and code expires 7/21/2026In this episode, Dee Kei and Lu sit down with Andrew Rynhard — mastering engineer, developer, and founder of Naturl Audio — for one of the most technical and candid limiter conversations the show has ever had. Naturl Audio's philosophy is "evolution, not emulation," and that mindset runs through every corner of this episode.They start at the foundation: what's the actual difference between a brick wall limiter and a high-ratio compressor, and does the distinction even matter in practice? Andrew breaks down how the AL-1 takes a fundamentally different approach — abandoning traditional lookahead design in favor of an original zero-latency circuit, and deliberately avoiding the clipping or wave-shaping stage that most limiters rely on to force a hard ceiling. The result, he explains, is a limiter that stays musical and open under pressure rather than mechanical. Dee walks through how he actually uses the AL-1 in his mix sessions — not just as a loudness tool at the end of the chain, but as a creative shaping device — and Andrew digs into the Optimizer section, which uses upward compression and intelligent makeup gain to add loudness without coloration.The episode also takes some unexpected turns. Andrew opens up about the intense online backlash surrounding the AL-1's launch — including people threatening him over a plugin — and what that toxicity says about tribalism in the audio world. Dee shares a story about being the only engineer in a room full of pros willing to admit he couldn't hear a difference, and why that kind of honest integrity might be the most underrated quality in the business. Andrew echoes it with a lesson he learned from Jiu Jitsu: ego is the single biggest blocker to actually developing your ears, and the engineers who keep growing are the ones who can say "I don't know" out loud.It wraps with a real conversation about clipping philosophy — when to reach for a clipper vs. lean on the limiter, and what Grammy-winning masters actually look like in terms of true peak and LUFS.

Episode 316 – Love, Hate & LegacyFirst up, it's #OFFTHEDOME:Which verse on Kanye West's Late Registration stole the show?Then it's #OneGottaGo:
This week, the world finally discovers what we've been saying for years: Gen X wasn't forgotten—we were quietly keeping the entire damn machine running. New Census numbers show America's 45-to-64 crowd is shrinking fast, which means the people who know where all the bodies are buried (and why you never reboot that one production server) are disappearing without a replacement bench. Meanwhile, Meta continues its speedrun toward becoming history's most aggressively unlikeable company, staring down a potential $1.4 trillion lawsuit over social media addiction while simultaneously launching AI features that happily remix your Instagram photos unless you remember to opt out of Zuckerberg's latest privacy experiment. Because nothing says "we've learned our lesson" quite like doubling down.The AI circus somehow gets even weirder. Illinois actually passed meaningful AI safety legislation—an event so rare it qualifies as science fiction—while Sam Altman reportedly floated the idea of AI companies handing the U.S. government an ownership stake. Anthropic published another paper that's already inspiring breathless declarations that Claude is "thinking," because apparently matrix multiplication now counts as an inner monologue. Cloudflare finally decided websites shouldn't have to give away their content for free to AI crawlers, researchers discovered AI agents could consume enough electricity to make Google Search look like a bicycle generator, and Amazon's Mechanical Turk is being replaced by the very AI it spent two decades secretly training. Progress: where everyone works harder, gets paid less, and the power grid cries.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, Waymo robotaxis turned San Francisco traffic into an even bigger parking lot, Google lost another multibillion-dollar antitrust appeal in Europe, the FCC found fresh ways to make internet bills less transparent, and Midjourney is demanding Hollywood explain its own AI habits in court. We also dig into a disturbing lawsuit involving Grok-generated abuse imagery and what it says about AI guardrails, explain how to stop Meta from feeding your Instagram into its latest AI experiments, discuss why tech workers increasingly feel AI isn't replacing them so much as making them miserable faster, and close things out with the usual Media Candy, Apps & Doodads, and library recommendations to help you survive another week inside the techno-dystopian fever dream we apparently call "the future."Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

The AI revolution keeps delivering exactly the future nobody asked for. A low-skill hacker used Claude Code and Codex to compromise fourteen companies with prompts so vague they could've been written by your uncle trying to reset his AOL password. Ford, meanwhile, spent millions trying to automate engineering before sheepishly rehiring the graybeards who actually know how cars work. Brown University discovered what happens when half your class outsources economics homework to ChatGPT, Meta ran out of AI compute after borrowing Google's, Oracle is warning investors that the AI data-center bubble could implode for approximately every reason imaginable, and contractors hired to improve AI models are secretly using AI to generate the training data. Congratulations, everyone: we've successfully invented photocopying a photocopy until all that's left is gray mush.The collateral damage keeps piling up. Volkswagen is reportedly preparing to slash another 100,000 jobs, Hyundai workers are threatening to strike before Boston Dynamics' humanoid robots take theirs, California has launched an AI layoff tracker because somebody figured we'd better start counting, and the "almost homeless" subreddit is becoming one of the bleakest economic indicators on the internet. Tesla quietly settles another fatal Full Self-Driving lawsuit, Australia discovers teenagers can outsmart age verification by clicking "Yes, I'm 18," Amazon is getting sued Down Under for making ad-free Prime customers pay more to stay ad-free, and prediction markets continue insisting they're sophisticated financial instruments rather than gambling with better branding. Sure, and Beanie Babies were an asset class.Meanwhile, the AI infrastructure gold rush has become lucrative for everyone, including organized cargo thieves stealing millions in data-center equipment. NASA is attempting a robotic rescue mission worthy of a Saturday morning cartoon, astronomers are begging humanity to stop filling the night sky with satellites before we pave over the universe with orbital billboards, and Meta has discovered yet another way to charge people a subscription for hardware they already bought. In Media Candy, Sugar keeps delivering, Bodkin is worth your time, I Will Find You absolutely is not, and Kobo quietly lands one on Amazon by integrating StoryGraph while Kindle owners get AI book summaries they didn't ask for. Sometimes the future feels like science fiction. This week it feels like someone accidentally trained the simulation on late-stage capitalism and never bothered to check the output.Sponsors:StoryBlocks - For a limited time, they're offering 15% off any annual plan at storyblocks.com/gogPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
