Hi N/Audiofanzine,
I wanted to ask which section would be appropriate to share info about MARS, a new cross-platform multitrack recording system for musicians and audio engineers. It supports different workflows and is flexible for beginners and pros alike. The post would include technical details and a link to our early access at mars-audio.com
Thanks,
O

Grim...
I'm 57 years old. I'm also technologically savvy. I'm really fucking concerned about AI. I don't use chatbots, because I knew what the fuck they were. Every interaction with them is training them. So I've refused to show them when we are happy, when we are sad, or when we break. But god dammit. These "bands" that are so amazing and slick... and never existed. What do you think about all of this?
