  • It’s Time To Normalize Cutting Session Musicians Into Master Royalties (Points)Whew, I got quite the backlash for my post about normalizing giving points to session musicians.  Seems like an innocent enough thought experiment. My fatal flaw was using Taylor Swift as an example of the wealth disparity in the music industry. The algorithm fed it to Swifties and they had a lot to say about […]

  • Songview Gets a Major Upgrade: 38 Million Tracks, All in One PlacePictured: ASCAP CEO Elizabeth MatthewsIn a move that’s shaking up the music industry, the four major U.S. performing rights organizations—ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR—have joined forces to expand Songview, the industry’s go-to platform for public performance copyright data. Launched in 2020 by ASCAP and BMI, Songview now includes information on over 38 million musical works, offering the most comprehensive view of public performance copyright ownership and administration shares from a single source.This expansion means that for the first time, Songview will feature data from all four major PROs, providing a unified platform for music users to access detailed information on songwriters, composers, music publishers, and copyright ownership shares. The platform will begin incorporating data from GMR and SESAC, starting with the addition of all 100%-owned works represented by these organizations. Additionally, Songview will enhance the data for GMR and SESAC works that have split ownership percentages with ASCAP and/or BMI by including publisher names, addressing one of the most popular information requests from Songview users.This collaborative effort aims to provide greater transparency in music licensing, benefiting both creators and licensees. As ASCAP CEO Elizabeth Matthews stated, “We are thrilled to collaborate with BMI, GMR, and SESAC as we innovate to provide more transparency to licensees into musical ownership data for the combined repertories of the most performed music in the world.”This move is a significant step towards a more transparent and efficient music licensing system, ensuring that creators receive the compensation they deserve while licensees have the predictability they need. For those interested in exploring this expanded database, Songview is free to the public and currently accessible on the ASCAP and BMI websites. Find more information on the Songview website or check out the latest updates on the ASCAP and BMI sites.

  • Macintosh System 7 Ported To x86 With LLM HelpYou can use large language models for all sorts of things these days, from writing terrible college papers to bungling legal cases. Or, you can employ them to more interesting ends, such as porting Macintosh System 7 to the x86 architecture, like [Kelsi Davis] did.
    When Apple created the Macintosh lineup in the 1980s, it based the computer around Motorola’s 68K CPU architecture. These 16-bit/32-bit CPUs were plenty capable for the time, but the platform ultimately didn’t have the same expansive future as Intel’s illustrious x86 architecture that underpinned rival IBM-compatible machines.
    [Kelsi Davis] decided to port the Macintosh System 7 OS to run on native x86 hardware, which would be challenging enough with full access to the source code. However, she instead performed this task by analyzing and reverse engineering the System 7 binaries with the aid of Ghidra and a large language model. Soon enough, she had the classic System 7 desktop running on QEMU with a fully-functional Finder and the GUI working as expected. [Kelsi] credits the LLM with helping her achieve this feat in just three days, versus what she would expect to be a multi-year effort if working unassisted.
    Files are on GitHub for the curious. We love a good port around these parts; we particularly enjoyed these efforts to recreate Portal on the N64. If you’re doing your own advanced tinkering with Macintosh software from yesteryear, don’t hesitate to let us know.

  • Audient opens its first USA Showroom in Los Angeles, with gear demos and hands-on workshops to comeAudient has finally opened its first showroom on American soil, bringing its high quality British audio equipment straight to the people of Los Angeles, California.
    Set up in Burbank’s CenterStaging’s rehearsal studio and artist relations compound, the showroom will allow US citizens a hands-on Audient experience. Packed with the company’s full range of equipment, it will be a chance for visitors to freely experiment with everything from the ASP4816-HE mixing console to Audient Oria’s Dolby Atmos-minded immersive audio interface and monitor controller.

    Audient has also ensured that the showroom was designed to emulate a studio environment; the space is fully functional and acoustically treated to allow the public to experience gear in realistic studio conditions. Its an attention to detail that seems simple, but makes all the difference if you want a sense of how fresh tech will feel in your studio.
    The showroom will also host a slew of demonstrations and exclusive workshops to showcase each piece of gear’s full potential. There’s also plenty of Audient specialists on site to provide support and answer any specific engineering, production or technical queries.
    “Opening our own dedicated space in LA is a milestone for Audient here in the US,” Tim Jones, U.S. Market Representative for Audient, says. “As a working engineer myself, I know how hard it can be to make decisions on pro audio gear without getting some quality hands-on time with it.”
    “I’m excited to connect directly with fellow creatives and help them discover how Audient can support their workflow and elevate their sound, all within a space purpose-built for critical listening,” he concludes.
    Audient’s expansion out to the USA has been made possible thanks to the company’s partnership with Korg USA. “Our partnership with Audient has always been built on a shared belief in providing creators with tools that inspire and perform at the highest level,” Joe Castronovo, President & CEO of Korg USA, explains.
    “The opening of Audient’s first U.S. showroom represents an important step in expanding that vision, giving artists, producers, and engineers the opportunity to experience Audient’s products in a professional studio environment while benefiting from the expertise and support of both of our teams,” he adds.

  • Spotify to crackdown on AI “slop” in bid to protect artistsBack in June, Spotify announced that it was in no rush to purge AI music from its platform. However, the company’s stance has since changed; Spotify has just announced a mass crackdown on artificially generated “spammy” tracks.
    On 25 September, the streaming giant shared its plans to “strengthen AI protections” for its artists. In a bid to “aggressively protect” creatives, Spotify notes that it has already removed 75 million tracks from the platform over the last 12 months, and will continue to do so.

    In order to crack down on AI tracks, the company shares that it will be implementing a more rigid ‘impersonation policy’ to remove tracks with unauthorised AI generated voice clones. “Unauthorised use of AI to clone an artist’s voice exploits their identity, undermines their artistry, and threatens the fundamental integrity of their work,” the company explains.
    “Some artists may choose to license their voices to AI projects – and that’s their choice to make,” Spotify continues. “Our job is to do what we can to ensure that the choice stays in their hands.”
    Elsewhere, the announcement also notes that a new spam filtering system will be in place. The new filter will restrict “mass uploads, duplicates, SEO hacks, artificially short track abuse, and other forms of slop” which are often ways generative AI can exploit Spotify’s algorithm. To tackle this, the company will be introducing a new system that will “identify uploaders and tracks engaging in these tactics, tag them, and stop recommending them”.
    The new system will hopefully benefit genuine artists, as AI uploads can massively dilute Spotify’s royalty pool. “Our new music spam filter will help prevent spammers from generating royalties that could be otherwise distributed to professional artists and songwriters,” Spotify explains.

    Spotify will also introduce a new “AI disclosure” agreement, forcing artists to disclose whether AI has been used in the creation process. Developed through standards-setting organisation DDEX, the new agreement will allow users to see what aspects of a track were created with forms of AI.
    Of course, some artists might use AI tools as an aid rather than a way of generating “spammy slop”, so the new system will add some nuance to the discussion of AI in music. “This standard gives artists and rights holders a way to clearly indicate where and how AI played a role in the creation of a track, whether that’s AI-generated vocals, instrumentation, or post-production,” Spotify says. “This change is about strengthening trust across the platform. It’s not about punishing artists who use AI responsibly or down-ranking tracks for disclosing information about how they were made.”
    “Ultimately this preserves trust across the entire music ecosystem, as listeners can understand what’s behind the music they stream,” the company adds. “We see this as an important first step that will undoubtedly continue to evolve.”
    While Spotify is starting to tackle AI tracks, the streaming platform seems to be following in the footsteps of Deezer, which has been firm about its stance on AI tracks over the past year, sidelining AI tracks and making sure no AI generated content is diluting its royalty pool.

    The crackdown will remove tracks with unauthorised vocal cloning, restrict the spread of "spammy" tracks and requite artists to disclose AI use.
