American Public Television, the syndicator of public TV fixtures such as “Rick Steve’s Europe” and “America’s Test Kitchen,” is looking to break into the audio space. During the organization’s annual Fall Marketplace conference in Naples, FL this week, APT announced the formation of APT Podcast Studios. The studio is currently in the research and development phase and is in negotiation for its first original podcast in the food and travel space, two genres that align with APT’s core content competencies. Beginning in 2023, the company says it will work to launch original podcasts and partner with existing ones. “As platforms and technology continue to diversify, it is important for APT to mine new talent for public media, reach new audiences and help increase the success of current podcasts,” said Cynthia Fenneman, President and CEO of APT. “We aim to establish a voice and an expertise that provides added value for audiences and our content catalog.” Public television is no stranger to podcasts, with PBS releasing some of its programs as podcasts, such as the PBS NewsHour and its documentary series PBS Frontline. But APT is looking to go beyond that by not only tapping its own shows but creating new ones – including from outside producers.
Everyone needs a hobby, right? And chances are you know at least one person on your holiday shopping list who fancies themselves a musician. Whether they’re a casual guitarist, a former piano prodigy or a bedroom producer of electronic music we’ve got some recommendations. Some of these even make a great gift for music lovers who haven’t quite made the jump yet. Perhaps getting a synthesizer tinker toy will inspire your loved one to go from a consumer to a maker. If you know someone who believes there’s music all around, if you can just train yourself to listen for it, I have the perfect gift for them. The is sort of like a microphone. But not one that you sing into. Instead, it picks up electromagnetic interference and radiation from across the entire spectrum from Hertz to Gigahertz. Soma likes to refer to it as an anti-radio since it doesn’t tune into one frequency, it tunes into all the frequencies. With the Ether your sound-loving giftee can eavesdrop on neon signs and sample the silent whine of an AC adapter. It’s literally a gateway to an invisible world of electromagnetic waves. And the particularly adventurous can even wield it as a live instrument. Buy Ether at Soma – $160 Modular synthesis has been enjoying a revival over the past few years. But getting into Eurorack can be intimidating and very expensive. So a number of companies have been working to lower the barrier to entry. If there’s someone on your list that has been itching to dip their toes in, the West Pest and East Beast from Cre8audio are an excellent starting point. They’re self-contained semi-modular synths, so they don’t need any extra gear to start experimenting. But they’re Eurorack compatible, and can be removed from their cases and mounted in a larger system if they wind up going deeper down that rabbit hole. We like the West Pest in particular because, in addition to being perhaps the most affordable Eurorack compatible semi-modular synth out there, it explores the more experimental world of west coast synthesis. As the music gear experts at Reverb note “the combination of Wavefolding with the Dynamics Controller (a take on the low-pass gate) gives the synth its bold, unique and adventurous sound.” Buy West Pest at Amazon – $250 Every music lover and music maker needs a good pair of headphones. There are so many amazing sets out there to choose from, but I remain a dedicated fan of Sony’s affordable workhorse the MDR-7506. They’ve been a studio mainstay for decades for good reason. They’re natural sounding, light and comfortable enough to wear for hours, and reasonably priced. The MDR-7506s are equally at home monitoring a podcast, mixing a club banger or just listening to some vinyl. In short, they’re a great practical gift even if you’re operating under a tight budget. Buy Sony MDR-7506 at Amazon – $100 The original Orba is a phenomenal fidget toy and an interesting MIDI controller. The Orba 2 is both those things and a sampler. Adding sampling to this little musical grapefruit greatly expands its flexibility. If you know someone who’s constantly tapping out rhythms or humming little melodies to themselves, they’ll probably love an Orba. Buy Orba 2 at Artiphon – $150 Cheap and portable synths are a dime a dozen these days. Korg really kicked off something of revolution with its Volca line. But one thing we’d yet to see until Roland launched its Aira Compact line, was a portable and affordable box dedicated to vocal effects. The E-4 Voice Tweaker combines pitch correction, a harmonizer, a vocoder, plus pitch and formant shifting, and a looper. There’s also delay, reverb and chorus effects, not to mention Roland’s signature Scatter, which it turns out is much better on vocals than drums. If there’s anyone on your list who’s been trying to turn themselves into the next Bon Iver or late ‘70s Herbie Hancock, this will at least get them part of the way there. Buy E-4 Voice Tweaker at Amazon – $200 Where to begin with the Habit? It’s a delay pedal – which almost every musician can use. But it’s so much more. It’s a looper, sort of. Chase Bliss calls it a musical sketchpad, and that can be true too. It does all of those things, plus it has a selection of unique modifiers that can chop up sounds in rhythmic ways, mimic the warble of a tape machine, or spit out what can only be described as unicorn sparkles. In short, there’s almost nothing else like it out there. If there’s a guitarist or a synth player on your list with a taste for the esoteric (and you don’t mind splurging), they’ll probably love the strange collection of sounds that Habit puts at their feet. Buy Chase Bliss Habit at Reverb – $399 The 1010Music Nanoboxes are probably the smallest full-featured hardware synths out there. But the Lemon Drop also has the distinction of being one of the only dedicated granular synths on the market. If your giftee is into ambient music or oddball textures they will almost certainly love the Lemon Drop. It has a robust granular sound engine (meaning it chops up sound files into tiny bits and spits them back out) with up to 16 granulators per voice and four voice polyphony. Plus it doubles as an effects processor for live audio with an expressive X/Y pad mode for changing parameters. And it can easily fit in a jacket pocket. Buy Lemon Drop at 1010 Music – $399 The Mavis is the cheapest way to give someone the gift of a real-deal Moog synthesizer. It’s a $350, pseudo-DIY, semi-modular, monophonic synth and, in a rarity for the company, it’s fully Eurorack compatible. It’s capable of getting that classic Moog sound with thick square and saw waves shaped by resonant lowpass filter. Its 24-point patchbay is an impressive collection of utility and sound-shaping tools that is not only great for learning the art of synthesis but also expanding the potential of a larger modular setup. Lastly, the Mavis is the first time Moog has dipped its toes into the rival world of West Coast synthesis by including a wavefolder. It’s a great gift whether it’s someone’s first synth of fiftieth. Buy Moog Mavis at Amazon – $349 Part of the fun of holiday shopping is finding fun weird things that you know someone would appreciate, but are so impractical they’d never buy it themselves. That’s basically the Rainger FX Minibar in a nutshell. It’s a distortion pedal, and also an endless supply of different distortion pedals. See, on its own it doesn’t do anything. The “Liquid Analyzer” part of the name comes from the fact that there’s a tiny container on top that you need to fill to complete the circuit. And, the sound will change based on what you put in there. Water will have an obviously different effect than say, beer, or soda, or – if you’re metal enough – blood. The folks at Reverb love it because “the Minibar is easy to incorporate into musicians’ small pedalboards… meaning folks can experiment without too much of a space commitment.” Buy Rainger FX Minibar at Reverb – $149 I firmly believe that every guitarist should have an amp sim in their arsenal. They’re handy for quietly practicing late at night, recording direct to a DAW, or building a lightweight live rig that connects to a venue’s PA. Universal Audio’s are among the best amp sims I’ve ever used. They’re not cheap at $400, but if there’s a person on your list you want to splurge on, these are a worthy consideration. While all three of the models are excellent, and my personal favorite seems to change from week to week, it’s probably the that has spent the most time on my board. The Ruby is an emulation of the classic Vox AC30 which has been used by everyone from the Beatles, to U2, to REM, to Queen. Reverb’s experts love that it “delivers choirboy cleans, complex overdrive, and classic vibrato to mimic a classic British tube amp.” Plus you can tweak the Ruby’s sound by turning on popular mods or switching in different speaker emulations. Buy Ruby at Reverb – $399 The Century Collection is another splurge, but it’s the gift that keeps on giving. For $400 your giftee will receive every sample pack, virtual instrument and effect plugin that Puremagnetik makes for the next 100 years. On day one they’ll get access to around 100 sample packs covering everything from vintage synth pads, to circuit bent toys, to early digital drum machines. But perhaps even more interesting are the 39 VST plugins that range from lo-fi keys to absolutely out of this world effects. The creative delays and strange micro loopers are highlights and perfect for the person who’s into more ambient and experimental music. Then there’s , an “advanced sound design workstation” that’s updated on a monthly basis with new features and effects. Even if someone manages to outlive the length of their Century Collection membership, they’ll probably never be able to fully explore it all. Buy Century Collection at Puremagnetik – $399 Anyone who practices some sort of creative art – be it music, painting or writing – hits a block at some point. There’s tons of advice out there on how to overcome these hurdles, but one of the most famous is easily the Oblique Strategies deck. Developed by Peter Schmidt and Brian Eno in 1975, each card contains an action or a way of thinking designed to shake up your approach to a thorny creative problem. “Use an unacceptable colour,” “Make a sudden, destructive unpredictable action; incorporate” and “Emphasize the flaws,” are the sorts of vague instructions you can expect. And how someone interprets the prompts will produce different results for each person. If you’re shopping for anyone with a creative streak, they’ll find a use for this deck. Buy Oblique Strategies at Eno Shop – $60 If you’re gift shopping for a music producer I can almost guarantee you they’re fans of J Dilla. He was a singular force in hip-hop, and has even had his MPC displayed at the Smithsonian. Dilla Time by Dan Charnas chronicles not just the life of Dilla (James DeWitt Yancey), but his legacy and the history of rhythm in America. In addition, there are graphics that help illustrate the concepts behind Dilla’s unique beats and what made him so special. It’s part biography, part history lesson and part practical music production guide. Buy Dilla Time at Amazon – $22 If there’s an aspiring songwriter on your list, consider picking them up a copy of How to Write One Song. Written by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, this tome breaks down the process from beginning to end and encourages readers to start small; don’t try to become a “songwriter” just try to write a song. But this isn’t a rote how-to book, that sort of thing is only so helpful when it comes to mastering an artistic craft. It’s about building creativity into your everyday life. And just like any other skill, being creative requires practice. Buy How to Write One Song at Amazon – $19 A turntable is almost a necessity for any music lover or music maker. For one, it’s a way to listen to the artists they love. Whether that’s for pure enjoyment or for inspiration. And while there are plenty who think that vinyl just “sounds better,” I think the real reason it beats out streaming from Spotify: It’s tangible. There’s nothing quite like physically holding a piece of music, placing the needle in a groove and looking at the large cover art, or reading the liner notes. It connects a person to the art more and forces them to be a more active participant in its consumption. Now, the AT-LP120XUSB is not the highest-end turntable in the world. And it might not even be the best bang for your gift-giving dollar. But it is excellent sounding and reasonably priced. And the USB port makes it easy for any aspiring music producers to sample straight to their DAW. Maybe, just maybe, it will inspire a life-long love of crate digging.

Recently, Netflix dropped new seasons of two of their biggest original shows—The Crown and Dead to Me. And while those two were dominating the site's list of most-watched series, there's now a totally-new show that has taken the crown (sorry, we had to): 1899. This German drama is part period piece, part mystery and part science fiction, and this blend of genres has clearly intrigued lots of Netflix subscribers.

Gaelynn Lea is one of the most original musicians and songwriters working today. She also happens, by chance, to be a wheelchair user. Incredibly prolific, she has released three solo albums, as well as six collaborations with various groups in the past decade. Hailing from northern Minnesota, she has developed a unique fiddle style by playing the violin like a cello. Her latest project is providing the score for the Broadway production of Macbeth, starring Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga. What was your first recording experience? In 2011, I recorded an EP [Imperfecta] with Alan Sparhawk [Tape Op#31] from the band Low. He lives in my town of Duluth, and we had started playing some music together for a live film score. We liked playing together, so we decided to form a band called The Murder of Crows – it was mostly instrumental. He would loop my music with a [Electro-Harmonix] Memory Man looping pedal, and I would play harmonies to what I was hearing. That is how I got started looping in the first place. We recorded that EP in my living room; and was the first recording I ever made. That was fun and low key, because we were just jamming and he edited out parts that didn’t work. It was all very experimental and atmospheric. Alan has tons of experience and knows what he is doing, so I felt at ease. Then, in 2013, I recorded another album [Hand by Hand] in an actual studio with a group I was in called Snöbarn. That was a full band project and a little more intense, but I was mostly just doing backup parts. The recording that sticks out to me was in 2015 when I recorded my first solo album [2015’s All the Roads that Lead Us Home]. For that one I rented out the Sacred Heart Music Center; a church turned recording studio that has beautiful acoustics. I was super nervous, so I hired this one engineer, Jake Larson, who I still work with. We got all of the album done in one afternoon, because it was live looping. But I was nervous when we were starting. I called my counselor and said, “I think I might be having a heart attack.” She said, “You might just be really nervous. Why don’t you go finish the session, and if you still feel this way afterwards then you should go to the hospital.” [laughs] Wow, a “showbiz first” psychologist! Yeah! But I didn’t die. When I first started doing recordings, I felt this pressure to get everything right. “Everything has to be perfect.” Because the recordings were live looping, I felt a lot of pressure. But, over time, I have begun to see recording as a sound sculpture that can be built throughout the process. That is a much more relaxing and fun way to think of it. But at the beginning, I didn’t have that perspective. Since it was a solo album, it was the first time I felt like, “Oh, no. I’m making an ‘album,’” and I got myself all worked up. Ever since that album, recording has been a lot more fun. You tracked the entire album in one afternoon? Yep. I played each song three times; I sang two of them and live-looped at the same time. It’s pretty raw, but it’s a cool album. It does have that special vibe because it was all done live and has a different feel than a multitracked record with tons of different musicians playing. It’s not broken up into pieces at all. After we recorded, I’d listen to the tracks and tell him when to fade in and fade out – “Start at second :24 and end at 3:21” or whatever – because that’s all we could do with the mixing since it’s all live and not multitracked. It only took three or four hours, but I had practiced a lot beforehand to get better with the looping pedal. I had a weekly, two-hour live gig at a pizza shop – Bulldog Pizza & Grill – for 12 months. No one was really listening at the pizza parlor; it was kind of background music. It was good practice. I even ended up doing my record release there. How did you start looping yourself and playing solo? Alan was the one who previously had always done all of the looping for me. He is so generous. About a year after we started working together, he came in with a looping pedal and an amp and said, “These are for you. You should figure out how to do this yourself so that you can play by yourself someday.” I didn’t think I ever would play by myself, but then I got hooked on looping. It was an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man with Hazarai pedal. That’s about the only gear information I can give you during this interview! [laughs] I can’t record anything on it, so at the end of every song everything is gone. I have to hold the button down the entire time I’m using it in order for it to work. But I can do reverse play on it, and octaves. The amp I use is the Fishman Loudbox Mini. I love that little guy. It works really well with violins, and it has two inputs so it can be used as a PA when I do small gigs at schools. I’ve got a good pickup on my violin, an LR Baggs. I started out with a stick-on pickup, and then I also tried taping a lapel mic to the violin. Then I tried a drum mic that attaches with a built-in suction pad. But violins have a lot of high frequencies, so they feedback very easily. The LR Baggs is built into the bridge of the violin and is really sensitive, so I don’t have to crank it up too much. I’ve tried distortion pedals, but violins are pretty finicky. Every time you play a song, it’s 100 percent from scratch? Yes. I love that it is so organic. I have to be in the moment. It’s like a Zen practice, where nothing is saved and it all disappears at the end. What role does fear play in performance? Nelson Muligo, from the Malawi Mouse Boys, once told me, “Playing in front of a bunch of white people onstage is not something to be afraid of. Going days without being able to feed my family, that is what’s scary.” For that band, the concept of “stage fright” was a non-factor. That is so helpful to hear that perspective. I did an album in Minneapolis, and the engineer there [Zachary Hollander at The Pearl Recording Studio] had been recording forever and said, “You’re building something. That’s all. It’s a snapshot of the moment and where you are. It doesn’t have to be anything more than that.” He also told me, “Comping vocals isn’t a sin.” [laughs] I didn’t even know that I could comp vocals, at all. I said, “Wait, you can do that?” And he said, “Yes. Everyone does it.” That took a lot of pressure off to get the perfect take. Live performance is a little different. There’s a quote I read a long time ago that said, “Pursuing your passion is always going to mean living on the edge of fear.” Success leads you to another opportunity that’s just as daunting as the previous one. You have to become okay with being afraid. I can have a show that doesn’t go well, and someone can still come up afterwards and say, “I really needed to hear that today.” It isn’t really about you. It’s about the music connecting with the audience. So, taking yourself out of the equation to some extent is a good way to get over the fear. At the end of the day, people can hate your album and you can be booed offstage, and it really doesn’t change the value of who you are as a person. It’s hard to remember that in the age of social media. The main thing is to always make it about the audience. I try to channel the energy out towards the crowd. Just shove it out through my chest and towards them. Experimenting with energy onstage – especially sending it out to people – is a fun way to get out of my own head and be in the present moment. You taught music for many years. How has that informed your recordings and performances? I had this one lady who was in her sixties, and she was learning fiddle for the first time. She told me once how she’d had a really bad day, so she sat on her back porch for three hours and played fiddle. Then she felt better. Music is equally as valuable, even if it’s not for performance purposes. Almost all of my students are still playing. That makes me so happy that they are still going without me, and that playing music remains a part of their life. Minnesota seems often unheralded, musically. In the 1980s, The Replacements and Hüsker Dü were seen as guiding lights. Prince was so gifted; it’s often overlooked that he was a Minnesotan. It’s almost like he was from outer space. [laughs] Yeah, it seems that way sometimes! The Duluth scene is very separate from Minneapolis. They are only about two hours apart from each other. But it’s really cold up here and there’s this huge lake. It’s very beautiful, but there’s this very intense weather. I do think it changes the music and makes it a bit sadder and more rugged. But there’s always an underpinning of hope. It’s a cool music scene, and there’s a lot of music here. The Homegrown Music Festival is in its 24th year. It started out as birthday party for a friend, Scott Lunt, who I only met long afterwards. It’s now turned into a thing where there are 200 bands, and they have to be connected to the Duluth music scene to play. There are no outside bands. People are supportive of each other here. The festival takes place all over the city at local venues over an eight-day period, and there are no corporate sponsors: no Doritos stage. Since then, Minneapolis has discovered us, and bridges are being built. Musically, we are so proud of Bob Dylan. I don’t know if Bob Dylan cares much about Duluth [laughter], but Duluth is very enthusiastic about his being from here. I’m glad I found the scene after moving back home after I got sick at college. I’m sure I wouldn’t still be playing music now if there hadn’t have been such a welcoming music scene. I’ve heard you wished you’d had a chance to meet the late Vic Chesnutt. I played Vic’s first West Coast show in 1990. Within 30-seconds I realized I would never be as good as him. [laughs] That’s awesome. I invited Vic to play a show in Fresno, and I ended up having to lift him from the audience and onto a stage that was more than 6 feet high. Almost every small recording studio and nightclub is inaccessible – in basements, upstairs without elevators, and in narrow spaces. I know you’ve said, “If a venue doesn’t have a ramp, I’m playing on the floor.” Artists are still expected to be lifted onstage. It’s so backward, because we’ve had the ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] since 1990. Vic lived through a much more difficult era than us, because when he started the ADA had just passed. Even in New York City, a major club wasn’t accessible for me. I had called and checked everything with them in advance before I agreed to perform. Then I got there, and the toilet was too low and wasn’t accessible, and they had a portable ramp that was too steep to be safe to use. That was a sad moment for me, because I thought maybe it was just the Midwest. I expected much more from a big city like New York. I submitted Vic Chesnutt for a Lifetime Achievement award for next year’s Grammy Awards. No physically-disabled pop artist has ever been given the award. We need allies like you to keep writing and talking about this. Beyond venue accessibility, a huge issue is software visibility. If you are low-vision or blind, most recording and music software programs are terrible for screen readers. A software engineer could be coding in accessibility for software, but that need is being ignored. Different disabled people have different problems with the industry, because we have different needs depending on our disability. But we share this vision of “disability culture,” which is framing disability as a form of diversity that can be celebrated. But to celebrate disability, you have to first include it! And that means buildings and organizations have to be accessible. Companies need an on-staff disability coordinator, not just a diversity officer. We can advise them. But it’s not a good model, because it means disabled people are expected to work for free! [laughs] Assuming that we don’t need to be paid and that this should all be a charity model is not what we want to convey. The bar is so low to create inclusion for the disabled. Our organization, RAMPD [Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities], wants people to realize that disability is actually a form of identity that influences our art and makes it valuable because of the unique perspective we have. Just as it’s important to hear from artists of color or a trans artist, our music is formed by our identity, and we are a valuable part of the population. For instance, the reason I play violin like a cello is because of my body type. I wouldn’t do that randomly. I sing a little higher pitched because I’m small. A person’s unique perspective can resonate with anyone – not just people who are disabled – especially anyone who has ever experienced marginalization. People will come up to me at shows and say that a certain song spoke to them. They might have very different identities, but still, they could identify to the sense of impermanence. Music by disabled people is valuable and should be included not because people are afraid that they’re being jerks if they don’t, but because they want to include it because the music is exciting! As the legendary activist and author, Judith Heumann [featured in the documentary, Crip Camp] says, “Disability is a normal part of life.” The current estimate is one in four people live with a disability. With my own sister, Jane – who has Down syndrome, and is now completely non-ambulatory – I always felt that she did not lack ability, she just had different abilities than other people, ones that are unique. Disability is a diversity in the way you reside in your body and mind. There is nothing inherently negative about it. I get a lot of the, “How do you have such a positive attitude?” questions. Those always bother me. It’s not a positive attitude that allows me to succeed. A lot of it is that I’ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of support. That support should be there for everyone. It’s frustrating that people still don’t see disability as a natural part of the human experience. If we could take away the stigma and celebrate disability culture rather than see it as a liability, burden, or downfall of some sort, we could all be happier. People, as they age, could then see that using a wheelchair or walker allows them to continue to do the things that they love rather than resisting it. It’s okay to admit you’re disabled. Disability impacts a lot more people than people like me who were born with it. One reason I do so much performing is that I want younger people to see somebody like me. I know from personal experience how weird and alienating it is to grow up without any representation. I guess I knew about Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, but that is not my disability experience. As a little kid, seeing someone in a wheelchair would have been extremely impactful.

Here’s why you can trust us. “Travel through time with Sigil-based modulation, archaic spatial audio technologies, random fluctuations in the temporal field and a bonus secret parameter” Though there’s endless amounts of fun to be had in the world of software-based audio manipulation, it’s perhaps not overly controversial of us to confess that sometimes, certain plugin designs can leave us feeling a little creatively uninspired. That makes it all the more refreshing when we come across developers applying the same level of artistry and imagination to their software that musicians and producers do to their music. Freakshow Industries is one of those developers, devising brilliantly strange plugins that are truly unlike anything else we’ve seen before. Their latest creation, Pocket Dimension, is billed as an “XY-style granular time portal”, and that’s about the most straightforward description you’ll get from Freakshow Industries, who like to shroud the real functions of their software in cryptic riddles straight out of a twisted sci-fi horror movie. According to their website, the plugin was the result of a “doomed expedition to find the Lost Relic of Carcosa, said to bend our earthly dimension in unholy ways.” “The Relic found us first, presenting as an infernal contraption that would become our tragic undoing,” the description continues. “The device let us touch the maddening beyond and thus we were consumed into its crimson abyss.” As far as we can tell from a brief mess-around, Pocket Dimension is a granular effect that freezes, replays and manipulates incoming grains of sound to create complex textures from incoming source audio. There’s three bafflingly-named parameters (Void, Dose and Secret) which can be controlled in unison through the XY grid, or modulated using the plugin’s “sigil-based” modulation section. That’s all we’ll say, as much of the joy of Freakshow’s plugins comes from not quite knowing exactly what they’re doing. The plugin is available for Mac and PC in VST, VST3, AU and AAX formats. It’s $30, but as is the case with all of Freakshow Industries’ software, you can choose to pay less than that, or choose to ‘steal’ the plugin. This means you’re able to download it for free, but you won’t be able to upgrade and may not receive support. However, we suggest you drop the cash, if you can – they deserve it.

I’m always on the hunt for fantastic web apps that allow students and creatives to flourish without having to buy software or install anything. That being said, they normally come with a hefty monthly subscription. Take, for example, Soundtrap. I absolutely love this service, and in my personal opinion, it’s one of the best web-based tools for audio production to date.
Today, I want to introduce you to a free-to-use alternative that’s primarily focused on kids and students. Chrome Music Lab is a suite of educational tools that lets you learn musical theory without it being overly boring or saturated in technical detail. It’s a sandbox for expression, and it’s owned by Google. It’s also a part of the company’s Chrome Experiments which often get updated with new and interesting resources.
Now, I’m not about to say these are robust tools for music creation, but they are a great way to get your feet wet as someone who’s new to the idea of making and understanding music. In the mix, we have several options for getting started:
Shared Piano
Rhythm
Spectrogram
Soundwave
Arpeggios
Kandinsky
Voice Spinner
Harmonics
Piano Roll
Oscillators
Strings
Melody Maker
Chords
While these all vary in their use and sound, the main event here is the “Song Maker” where you’ll make a song by simply adding notes via clicks on the grid. You can then share it with a web link. The most interesting part, and what I suspect will be the will be intriguing for many of you is the fact that you can plug in a MIDI keyboard or microphone to speed up production and make it more comfortable.
Don’t worry though – if you don’t have either, you can simply use the keys on your keyboard as a means of emulating an actual piano roll. Pressing the arrow keys to move, you can tap enter and backspace to create or destroy notes. Tapping the space bar plays and pauses your song.
I played around with it for a while, and I’m definitely better at the shared piano (besides having no one to play with!) as I’ve taken many years of the instrument back in school. It’s amazing how you never really forget what you’ve learned, despite having to brush up quite a bit. I let my son with Song Maker for a while, and though I won’t be teaching him to play anything but the guitar at this point, it was a really fun experience for him and gave us a few laughs.

TORONTO — An earnings boost from wider margins helped push up shares of EQ Bank owner Equitable Group Inc. by more than 12 per cent Wednesday. The jump came as the bank reported record third quarter earnings of $77.6 million, up from $72.5 million for the same quarter last year. Earnings got a boost from a adjusted net interest margin of 1.94 per cent that was higher than any quarter in the bank's history and 0.13 of a percentage point higher than the last quarter. The jump was also well ahead of the bank's 2022 guidance of flat to moderate growth. “I think perhaps we were a touch cautious in projecting that to the Street until we actually saw it manifest," said Andrew Moor, chief executive, on an earnings call. The bank benefited on the margins with a strategy of being more nimble and responsive to rising interest rates, he said. "It's been a good management approach to take very little interest rate position." The bank, which last week closed a $495 million takeover of Concentra Bank, saw its share close up $5.55, or 12.24 per cent, to $50.88 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on a day that saw markets generally down. Earnings for the quarter ending Sept. 30 worked out to $2.22 per diluted share, up from $2.07 per share last year, while adjusted diluted earnings were $2.35 per share. Analysts had been expecting adjusted earnings of $2.11 per diluted share, according to financial markets data form Refinitiv. Scotiabank analyst Meny Grauman said in a note that while markdowns on Equitable's fintech investment portfolio did weight, it was more than cancelled out by margin expansion. "While that charge did indeed come in as we had expected, it was overwhelmed by very significant sequential margin expansion and elevated securitization revenue that completely took us by surprise."

What you need to launch a podcast depends on certain factors. This includes your budget, hardware, software, and hosting. In this article, we’ll show you all you need to get started with podcasting. Whether you’re looking to start podcasting as a hobby or as a career, you need the right gear and software to get you started on the right footing. Although you can start with your iPhone or a field recorder, you’ll likely record minimal success. Thankfully, the right gear doesn’t need to cost your right arm or leg. Here’s our top list of podcasting essentials to get you started.
A podcast microphone is one of the most essential gears needed to start podcasting whether you’re looking to start an audio or video podcast. And one of the best budget podcast mics out there is the MAONO USB Microphone. With a 192kHz/24bit sampling rate and 30Hz-16kHz flat frequency response, this professional condenser cardioid metal microphone produces high-res output. The MAONO USB microphone is laptop, PC, and PS4-compatible. You can even connect it to your smartphone via OTG (not supplied). It is plug-and-play and doesn’t require an extra driver software or sound card. Its double shielding USB design reduces interference producing crisp, clear audio. High-quality crispy clear audio is key to podcast success. The MAONO USB microphone ticks these boxes. $49.99 $61.99 Save 19% Podcast headphones are another essential piece of gear. They allow you to hear outside noises, poppings, echoes, and other unwanted sounds that can bleed into your audio. The OneOdio Podcast Headphones are a solid pick. Used by DJs for mixing and mastering, they have large 50-millimeter speaker unit drivers combined with neodymium magnets and produce detail-rich sound. They have soft padded ear cushions for maximum comfort and an adjustable and extendable headband for the perfect fit. They come with a 9.8 feet cord and standard-sized 3.5 and 6.35-millimeter plugs. They’re foldable and support single-side monitoring, thanks to their 90-degree swiveling ear cup design. Paired with a great microphone, the OneOdio Headphone is masterful at picking out unwanted noises. $31.99
If you want to produce professional podcasts, you’ll need an audio interface like the Pyle Professional Audio Mixer Soundboard Console. An audio interface helps to convert microphone and instrument signals. It also routes audio out from your OneOdio headphone or monitors. The Pyle Professional Audio Mixer is a solid option for podcasters. This lightweight and compact six-channel audio interface supports USB, XLR, and Bluetooth connectivity. It features several built-in controls that allow you to play/pause, skip tracks, and switch between modes. It also has a LED peak level indicator and ultra-musical three-band EQ on all channels, as well as ultra-low noise, and high headroom mixer functionality. Get the affordable Pyle Professional Audio Mixer Soundboard Console to mix and master your podcast audio professionally. $90.52 $125.99 Save 28% If you’re looking to start a video podcast, then a camera is indispensable. Again, as with other essential podcast gear, different options are available. One of the best podcast cameras we recommend is the Logitech Brio 4k Webcam. It is simple, easy to mount, and does a great job of capturing you and your guests. This webcam is compatible with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Voice, desktops, and tablets. The Logitech Brio 4k webcam supports ultra 4k HD video calling with a built-in noise-canceling mic. It has 5x HD zoom capabilities and supports three field-of-view presets. No lights, no problem. It also has an HD auto light correction feature for any-light condition as well as a privacy shade function when not recording. Improve the quality of your video podcasts with the Logitech Brio 4k webcam. It has built-in lights and a privacy shutter. $137.14 $199.99 Save 31% Cost is, by far, one of the biggest considerations when starting a podcast, especially if you plan to do it professionally. Prices of essential hardware like a PC, microphone, headphones, audio interface, camera, and lights can quickly add up. However, podcast bundles like the MAONO Caster Lite Kit contain everything you need to start podcasting at a budget-friendly price. Being the same brand, it offers superb integration and compatibility. The MAONO Caster Lite Kit is your all-in-one podcast starter kit if you’re on a shoestring budget. It supports up to two participants, four devices, and four streaming platforms per time. It features a microphone, a tripod, an XLR to 3.5-millimeter connector, an audio interface, and a windscreen muff. It comes with an operation manual to walk you through the slightly complex setup. However, you shouldn’t use the included microphone with phantom power. The MAONO Caster Lite Bundle Kit is one of the most budget-friendly options for starting a podcast. $129.99

U.S. stocks slumped Wednesday after weak earnings from Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) raised concerns that slowing output could dent corporate profits in the coming months. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was down 2%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) pushed lower by 0.7%, breaking three-day winning streaks for the indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) ticked higher by 0.01% after seesawing throughout the day. Stocks had rallied of late, posting three straight days of gains before Wednesday's selloff. After the closing bell on Tuesday, however, Microsoft posted its weakest quarterly revenue growth in five years as a strong dollar and slumping PC sales held back the tech giant’s growth. Microsoft shares closed down 7.7%, while intraday action saw the biggest drop since March 2020. Google parent Alphabet, meanwhile, posted results that missed analysts’ revenue expectations, while YouTube recorded its first decline in digital ad revenue since the company began reporting the video unit’s performance. The company's shares closed down more than 9%, its worst one-day loss since 2020. “The fact of the matter is, we are heading into, whether we want to call it a recession or not, we're heading into a softer or tighter macro environment. … You hear this from all the software vendors,” RBC Capital Markets software equity analyst Rishi Jaluria told Yahoo Finance Live on Tuesday following the quarterly earnings reports. “It was disappointing,” Morningstar senior equity analyst Ali Mogharabi told Yahoo Finance Live on Tuesday. The decline in Youtube’s digital ad revenue was due in part to the “foreign currency headwinds,” but the broader picture here is the economic downturn, he explained. “A lot of advertisers are becoming more hesitant. They're maybe holding back a little bit on their ad spending. But at the same time, even during an economic downturn, you're seeing the importance of that digital transition of that cloud migration,” Mogharabi said. After Wednesday's closing bell, Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META) also reported earnings that missed expectations, sending shares nosediving after hours. The downturn rippled across the tech sector. Meta Platforms fell 5.6% before its earnings miss, while Amazon (AMZN) dropped 4.1%. “We are effectively going into a recession,” @Jefferies’ Brent Thill says. “It is going to get harder as we go into ’23. The fact that companies like Microsoft and Google are all seeing it is just an indication of what’s to come.” pic.twitter.com/yjdW7VPlft — Yahoo Finance (@YahooFinance) October 26, 2022 While tech shares have been downbeat this year, mega-cap technology stocks still hold heavyweight over the major indexes. The five biggest tech firms — Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta Platforms (FB), Apple (AAPL), and Amazon (AMZN) — alone represent roughly a quarter of the S&P 500 index's market capitalization. Elsewhere in earnings on Wednesday, the automaker Ford (F) reported earnings that beat on the top line. Shares fell after hours, however, as Ford affirmed the bottom end of its full-year profit forecast. The market also digested earnings from Chipotle (CMG), which posted results Tuesday that slightly topped market expectations. Most of its sales numbers came from another round of menu price increases as the company navigates inflationary pressures. Spotify (SPOT), meanwhile, added more users on both its free and paid tiers than expected in the third quarter. The streaming company reported a 19% ad-revenue increase but said sales weakened due to the “challenging macro environment.” Spotify sank 13% on the day. Finally, Boeing on Wednesday became the latest company to report a third-quarter loss and revenue that missed analysts' expectations amid a “challenging environment.” Also on Wall Street’s plate was Twitter’s drama-filled acquisition deal. Elon Musk has until Friday evening to close the deal on his $44 billion acquisition or face a legal battle at Delaware Chancery Court next month. Musk posted video of himself in Twitter headquarters Wednesday. "Once Twitter deal closes on Friday (which is our expectation) and Musk sells his needed Tesla stock this 6 month painful overhang will be over and Tesla investors can finally focus on moving forward and seeing the next chapter of growth story take hold into 23 despite macro," Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives wrote on Twitter following the news on the deal.

Now investors that use the Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) online trading platform appear to be shifting their focus to more stable companies, likely as the broad market sell-off of the past year caused many investors to take a more cautious approach to where they put their remaining money.

As a part of his Oct. 7 order, Judge Dearie had directed the Justice Department and former President Donald Trump “to confer and attempt to resolve or narrow the disputes regarding claims of executive privilege and designations pursuant to the Presidential Records Act” for certain materials seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. On Oct. 20, the Justice Department filed a letter reporting that the parties had met the previous day, but had failed to resolve disputes pertaining to 11 of the documents. According to the Justice Department, of those 11 documents, nine involved disputes over the proper characterization—specifically, whether they were Presidential records or personal records—and four involved disputes about executive privilege. (The department claimed that two of the documents involved both kinds of disputes.) This afternoon, Trump asserted that the Justice Department had mischaracterized his position with regard to Documents 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, and 16, stating that he “was surprised that the Defendant did not attempt to confirm the contents of its log … to ensure the parties’ respective positions were accurately represented.” You can read the Justice Department’s filing and Trump’s filing here or below:
Beyoncé and Jay Z are officially sitting on top of the music throne these days after becoming the two artists with the most Grammy nominations in history. The superstar couple made the milestone achievement after the nominations for the 65th Grammy Awards were revealed on Tuesday, with the pair now tied with a total of 88 nods each. Though Beyoncé led the way with an impressive nine nominations for the upcoming Grammys, the 40-year-old hitmaker failed to completely overtake her spouse – who previously held the record for most nominations of all-time. Back in November 2021, Jay-Z became the most Grammy-nominated artist when the three award nods he received that year took his total up to 83. However, the 52- year-old rapper still managed to keep himself at the top alongside his wife after landing five nominations for next year’s ceremony. The latest achievement for the couple is just one of the many ways in which the superstar duo have proven themselves to be the perfectly matched music power couple.

The singer is currently tied with Quincy Jones in the second spot for most Grammy wins of all-time behind conductor Georg Solti, who holds 31 awards. If she wins just four of her nine nominations next year, then she will become the most awarded artist in the history of the Grammys. Meanwhile, Jay Z has 24 Grammys to his name after receiving his first even nomination back in 1999. He is currently tied with Kanye West as the two-most awarded rappers in Grammys history. The hitmaker’s distinctions have been given out as a result of his work as a rapper, writer and producer.
