The recording quality must be proper. However, there was a lack of experimenting for a while and what is more - lack of discovery. Even now most of times it's just words.

The world’s first spatial and 3D AI DAW is coming to Apple Vision ProImmersive audio DAW developer Hit’n’Mix has announced the forthcoming release of an Apple Vision Pro-dedicated version of its RipX spatial audio DAW and, to be frank, it looks bloody awesome.

The innovative Vision Pro app, created especially for the recently launched augmented reality headset, gives you a 3D DAW that you can operate with hand gestures, removing the need for a mouse or keyboard.
In RipX DAW, distance plays a crucial role in creating an immersive music-making experience. Instruments are presented in a fully editable note format – no waveforms –, distinguished by their spatial placement, allowing users to interact with different elements based on their distance. According to Hit’n’Mix, you can walk around and interact with the melody while it plays through you, just like it’s really there.

Martin DAW, Hit’n’Mix CEO and the creator of RipX DAW, says in a press release: “One of our aims in recent years has been to not only create an AI DAW that simplifies and de-clutters the music-making experience but to also innovate within the fledgling virtual music-making space.
“So, whilst we are delighted that RipX DAW is gaining recognition as the best and only AI DAW of its kind, we are excited to announce that soon, with Apple Vision Pro, RipX DAW will also offer a completely new, interactive, compositional experience, giving users much more freedom to view and create music in their chosen surroundings – all utilising our unique, note-based Rip audio format.”

The DAW will also offer integrated MIDI and audio functionality, advanced stem/instrument separation capabilities, direct customisation from AI Music Generators, and intuitive note-based editing with color-coded visuals.
You can also import background images to enhance the creative environment of the DAW, making it a more immersive, exciting music-making experience.
RipX DAW for Vision Pro has no confirmed launch date yet. Find out more at Hit’n’Mix.

“Thank you GarageBand”: PinkPantheress named Billboard’s Producer Of The YearWhen PinkPantheress arrived on the scene in 2021, it was clear she had a spark. Despite recording and mixing tracks from the comfort of her own bedroom, her dreamy approach to music quickly breached the UK top 40.
Three years on from her debut singles, Just For Me and Pain, Billboard are honouring PinkPantheress’s self-made magic, crowning her as their Producer Of The Year. The 22-year-old star is Billboard’s second-ever Producer Of The Year, following on from the first winner in 2023, Rosalía.

In light of the award announcement, PinkPantheress has attributed one thing to her success. Taking to X, she simply writes: “Love you GarageBand.”

While she hasn’t allowed many peeks behind the curtain, she has previously shared snippets of her GarageBand work in collaboration with Apple. PinkPantheress took to TikTok to explain the process behind Central Cee collaboration Nice To Meet You. The video shows her using GarageBand as well as Logic Pro.

Aged only 22, PinkPantheress has previously been named Best Female Act at the MOBOs, as well as the BBC’s Sound of 2022.
Speaking to the BBC in 2022, PinkPantheress explained why her DIY, self-produced approach allows her to flourish. “I sing more confidently when I know no-one can really hear me, “ she said. “There’s something about it being really late and dark and relaxing and silent that’s more inspiring than a busy, sunny day. Especially for my music.”
Billboard’s Editorial Director Hannah Karp says she is “thrilled to honour PinkPantheress as one of the most exciting young producers on the rise”.
“Women are still seriously under-represented among the producers making today’s top hits, so we’re grateful to our partners at Bose for helping spotlight talented artists like PinkPantheress who are producing and inspiring a new generation of women to get behind the boards, in addition to wowing fans their fans as performers on stage,” she comments.
The Billboard 2024 Producer of the Year Award will be presented at the Billboard Women in Music Awards on 6th March.
Tickets to attend currently range between $95-$285, and fans can watch the show on 7 March at 5pm PT/8pm ET at Billboard Women in Music.

Benn Jordan vs TuneCore: “23 albums nuked overnight with no warning”Benn Jordan‘s music, under his alias The Flashbulb, has been taken off streaming platforms, allegedly due to “streaming fraud” – and he is not happy.

READ MORE: Benn Jordan is done with making gear videos and reviews, cites “super toxic” community as cause 

Speaking to his audience via his Gumroad page, Jordan recounts the experience of finding his music removed from digital streaming platforms (DSPs): “Last Friday (10 February, 2024), I randomly pulled out my phone in the studio to reference one of my soundtracks for a composing collaboration. ‘Huh. My phone is bugging out,’ I complained.
“Then I noticed dozens of notifications: various listeners letting me know their feelings regarding my removal of all of my music. ‘What… the… fu?’
“And just like that, poof. I was erased from Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Deezer, YouTube Music, and virtually everywhere music is sold or streamed. I logged into TuneCore (my primary digital distributor since 2007), and without warning or any communication, they removed a total of 23 albums.”
Taking to Twitter, Jordan posted screenshots of his TuneCore artist page and a conversation with TuneCore, which claims Spotify had “identified and removed a high amount of streams” from his royalty calculation due to “evidence of abnormal streaming activity” on his releases. It also claims to have conducted “an additional internal investigation” and confirmed the evidence.

On what fucking planet is it okay to ban an artist with 1.6 million annual listeners without any communication?
Is this literally what happens when you criticize the way streaming platforms treat musicians?
You had one job, @TuneCore. pic.twitter.com/PZJYtRNXg4

“An ‘internal investigation’ has confirmed ‘evidence’ of streaming fraud on Spotify,” Jordan writes on X/Twitter.
“Therefore, The Flashbulb and my other music has been permanently removed from all platforms. 23 albums nuked overnight with no warning or communication.
“Give me a fucking break TuneCore.”

After TuneCore’s CEO, Andreea Gleeson, responded to inform him his enquiry would be handled after the weekend, Jordan responded: “I guess the guy who deletes 23 albums without warning or communication works weekends and the support staff that deals with the artist(s) and label affected doesn’t.
“Good thing my 300k monthly listeners don’t listen to music on weekends.”

Jordan has provided MusicTech with a folder of his correspondences with TuneCore, along with his streaming history across multiple platforms including Spotify. One item mentioned that the removal of his music could amount to $500,000 worth of losses.
He later said that TuneCore’s support had “finally” reached out to him and accused him of fraud, and he is now having to meet with legal counsel as a result.
Gleeson has responded to the backlash: “Thanks for the candid feedback and totally agree that we need more and deeper weekend support. This is something we are actively working on expanding.”
Jordan also tells MusicTech: “Whether this is malice related to my Spotify criticism or simply negligence, this is dystopian for reasons much larger than myself or my loss of income. While being erased from existence and gaslit is among one of the worst things that can happen to an artist, if there was one fight I was born to fight, it’s this one.
“I have millions of listeners and my music is on over 300,000 active playlists. These listeners pay a fee to listen to this music, and now it seems to be unavailable even if they downloaded it. The streaming music industry is so broken that it can no longer provide the simple transaction it spent billions of dollars trying to replace.”
The “Spotify criticism” Jordan alludes to includes a variety of video essays posted to his YouTube channel, such as How Money Laundering W/ Spotify Works, and Why Spotify Will Ultimately Fail. In his correspondence with TuneCore, he states that he has “never been involved in any type of streaming fraud. In fact, I’ve done extensive journalism to expose it.”

MusicTech has reached out to TuneCore for comment.
Jordan is offering his entire discography for download at a ‘pay what you want’ price tag. “Pay what you want. Seriously,” reads the message on Gumroad. “If you’re broke, pay the minimum and enjoy the music. If you’re generous, this will certainly help me out as I’ve just had a significant portion of my income cut off and may be entering an expensive legal battle.”
