Hey,
This week's best finds are the practical kind: a free British-style console EQ from PSP Audioware, an open-source true-peak limiter from ZL Audio and 294 trailer hits from BOOM Library. There's also a tape stop effect you can play in your browser before you install it.
Beyond the downloads, Apple is putting an AI assistant into Logic Pro, Spitfire's LABS has moved house and a major-label lawsuit is a good reason to check the rights on everything you upload. Then one promo habit and one way to put your studio to work.

Logic Pro 13 adds an AI assistant. Announced on October 27 as a free update for existing users, it can create tracks, open plugins and adjust mixer levels on command, and Stem Splitter can now split drums into six stems.
Why it matters: the drum split is the practical part. You can rebalance an old bounce or pull a clean snare out of your own loop without the original multitracks. MusicRadar
Get Your Music Heard
Show the before, then the after.
A "new track out now" post tells people a song exists. A short clip of how it came together gives them a reason to care. Take the drop of a finished track and pick the same 8 bars three times:
- Drums only.
- Drums plus bass.
- The full mix.
Screen-record your DAW playing each one and post them across three days. On day 3, the full version lands with the link.
Your action this week: choose one finished track, export those three bounces and record the first clip.
Your Home Studio Can Do More
Finish other people's loops. Most producers have a folder of 8-bar loops that never became songs. Turning a loop into a full arrangement is a skill you can sell.
