I know quite a few of you know @Mark Lantz from various programs at Mastering.com . We found out earlier today that Mark passed away Sunday morning. We don't know the details but I'm asking you to keep Mark's wife Laura in your prayers. Last month Mark released "Always by my Side", a song he wrote and produced about and dedicated to his wife. Mark and I have had many conversations, 1 on 1 zoom calls, mentor calls, and chat messages. I have watched him progress since Sept 2023 as he started his musical journey with us. He went from not knowing anything about the DAW to becoming a great producer utilizing his natural singing ability and talent. While I am very sad that he has passed away, I know he was a man of great faith and is in the promised land today. There is so much more I can say about Mark, and will over time, but for now, I'll just post a link to his Spotify songs he released with the help of his mentors and community of friends in the program. If anyone ever tells you your music isn't important, stay away from them - there is power in music ... Mark's music, and his journey to get to where he released songs, touched many people and is an inspiration to us all. Here's a link to his Spotify page with his songs "Always by my Side" and "Into the Light", both of which hit home today for me. R.I.P. my friend ... see you in Heaven. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4qpArhT1mBq5vW0ZfK5seb?si=pfVMUPtTRYOFQ1vuJ_vCyQ

Hey everyone, just a quick update to let you know about some exciting changes happening to the group. Moving forward, there will be no free tier for this group. Everyone here is grandfathered in. Previously the tiers were: - Free - Standard (community only) - $12/m - Premium (most courses and member events) - $49/m - VIP (all courses and monthly 1:1) Now the tiers are: - $5 - Standard (community only) - $12/m - Premium (most courses and member events) - $49/m - VIP (all courses and monthly 1:1) New people will pay $5/month to access the community. This should help increase the quality of the community significantly. Anyone who previously was on the free Standard tier will remain on the Standard tier and continue to have access to this group. This only affects new people joining, who will now have to pay $5/month for Standard. I have some more exciting updates to share with you next week about a brand new member event/competition format, so look out for more info on that 👀

Doing a well needed clear-out and found this. I was introduced to Cool Edit Pro at the start of my brief stint as a broadcast assistant, back in the day. It was a brilliant, really easy to use. I continued using it as my go-to editing software after Adobe bought it in the early 2000s and changed its name to Audition, up until the beginning of this year; the CC subscription became a "want", a rather expensive one and, unfortunately, Audition is a part of it. Which audio editing software do you currently use? Or do you just use your DAW?
