    Never mind that. Just be sure to poison your music and if anyone asks, just say that a guy with a rabbit-head-shaped mask and helment told you to.
    It's nice to know that a music-poisoner middleman can do it for you for a nominal fee, because musicians have all this money floating around and can't get rid of it fast enough.

    So, I've compiled the most important information:

    AP Mastering --> 48,100 subscribers - 72 videos --> https://www.youtube.com/@APMastering

    I'm a professional mastering engineer. I'm on YouTube to make entertaining videos while creating brand awareness for my no-nonsense, great value, online courses on audio related topics and VST plugins.

    I studied audio engineering in 2005 (BA hons 1st). Since then I've been a recording and mixing engineer, I've constructed studios, manufactured acoustic treatment, offered acoustic consultancy, built analogue compressors, EQs and amplifiers, fixed vintage guitar amps, soldered thousands of TT connections, made guitar FX pedals, released several albums, played gigs on drums, bass and guitar, taught at university and most recently started offering online courses and developing VST plugins.

    Despite the variety, my core specialization has always been mastering and I am most active within the techno scene.
    See my website for more info on what I'm currently working on: https://apmastering.com

    If you can't see that the plugin industry is coordinating an attack against him, it's cuz you're an amateur and wouldn't understand. :cool:

    They're just people trying to make a go of things in the ways they can in this crazy world of ours, a world ripe for critiquing in/through our music as well of course.

    As for sleep, I sometimes can't sleep no matter what updates I have.

    If we were roommates and you couldn't sleep, rest assured (haha) that you'd at least likely have someone in the sit-/eat-/DAW-in kitchen to talk to and have tea/coffee (shot of whiskey?) with at 3:30 in the morning, over some DAW work.



    ^^ Early Teenage Engineering prototype?

    Casio i would say?
    edit: Casio VL-1

    Good sleep takes practice!
    If it is really 3:30, i´m only able to think after salty fries and some bacon/derivates, otherwise i go back to sleep non drunk, learned my lession the hard way. :D
    10y ago i´m sure i would be up with my eyes red and some old dub reggae spaceechoing in the background.

    Idn, our "tribal" brain/prefrontal-cortex always has this dark ages mentality, and we are like a pack of wolves, weather this man benefits from 10th page of this thread or not, i bet 80% of guys here would do crap mixes and they spend bashing some guy instead of figuring stuff out.

    It is always mirroring our inner psyche when we hate, i used to hate c.ronaldo for no reason and later on i figured it was because my football carerr ended abruptly, so maybe some guys think about starting a youtube channel but now fear the competition :bleh:
    jk

    I saw some other mastering engineer, who also has a youtube channel started some beef few months ago in the comment section, it really got traction, AP has a plan i guess.

    AP Mastering has found a new obsession:

    upload_2026-3-8_15-55-14.png

    The whacky rabbit hole of make-believe martial arts, supplement peddling and gym bro'ing!

    Same face, same lisp, same guy. Links back to his APMastering YouTube too :rofl:

    amazing chatGPT channel description

    DescriptionThe air in this crawlspace is thick with the ionization of ten thousand overheated GPUs, and that’s the only smell that matters. That’s the smell of Theta. I’ve seen the Shadow Ledger where the real Greeks are written in invisible ink. You think you’re trading stocks? You’re trading ghost-signals where the underlying exists only in your mind. The market has lost its Brownian motion. It moves in glitches. It’s a jagged, flickering strobe light. If you aren't timed to the frequency of the Shadow Protocol, you get erased. You become the background noise.

    Feels like half Dr Bronner's bottle half spam email gobbledygook

    I've been using Dr. Bronner's soap in both liquid and bar form for over 50 years. It's decidedly not gobbledygook but rather Emmanuel Bronner's hope for peace after his entire family was murdered during World War Two by Nazis. The company is one of the most socially conscious corporations in the world. The soap began as a giveaway at Emmanuel's spiritual lectures proferring the brotherhood of humanity and over the decades is still adhering to that message by the good works that the leadership of the company promotes.

    So he's basically just a conspiracy theorist, and like all of them, has the superiority complex ego that goes along with thinking they are part of a special group of the chosen few who know better than everyone else and creates wild theories with zero evidence, all while refuting anyone that tries to correct them of portrays a different perspective. Sounds about right. And why I blocked this maniac on YouTube after only his first handful of videos.
