This week, we’re talking about the subtle growth that happens over years of making music:the things we’ve quietly improved at without really noticing.From trusting our ears more, to simplifying workflows, finishing tracks more naturally, and becoming more comfortable creatively, this episode is about the small changes that shape us over time as producers and musicians.A more honest conversation about music production, creativity, and the reality of being stuck.Thanks to our Patrons who support what we do:Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen SetzepfandtLars Haur - Audionaut ProducerJonathan Goode - Audionaut ProducerThere's a new compilation out, it deserves your attention:https://music.bonkwave.org/the-four-seasons-of-bonkwave-autumn-waves-2/Join the conversation:💌 audionauticsounds@gmail.com 🐤 Twitter @Audionautic📸 Instagram: @audionauticsounds📡Discord: https://discord.gg/KJHkz3b4SSunwarper: https://sunwarper.com​​​​​​Kh3rtis: https://kh3rtis.com

This week’s episode is about want vs need.We explore the internal dialogue that shows up when we feel the urge to buy new gear, plugins, or software. Where does that desire come from? Is it curiosity, FOMO, comparison, or a genuine creative requirement?We talk about:Recognizing the difference between wanting and needingWhen a purchase actually makes senseSocial media influence and comparisonPractical ways to pause, reflect, and detach from impulsive buyingGiving yourself permission to need something without guiltA thoughtful conversation about intention, creativity, and staying connected to why we make music in the first place.Thanks to our Patrons who support what we do:Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen SetzepfandtLars Haur - Audionaut ProducerJonathan Goode - Audionaut ProducerJoin the conversation:💌 audionauticsounds@gmail.com 🐤 Twitter @Audionautic📸 Instagram: @audionauticsounds📡Discord: https://discord.gg/Sunwarper: https://sunwarper.com​​​​​​Kh3rtis: https://kh3rtis.com

Ableton Live 12.3 is here and we are breaking down everything in the new update. From Stem Separation and Splice integration to new workflow tools like Bounce Groups, Paste Bounced Audio and Device A B, we look at which features matter and how they might change your music making.This week we are joined by a guest host who is not an Ableton user, so expect real debate about whether this update pushes Live forward or simply keeps it competitive.We explore the creative additions like the updated Auto Pan Tremolo, new expressive tools for Push, the Generators pack by Iftah and improvements to MIDI sequencing and chord editing.With Live, Push and Move currently on sale, we also ask the big question. Does this update make Ableton worth the investmenthanks to our Patrons who support what we do:Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen SetzepfandtLars Haur - Audionaut ProducerJonathan Goode - Audionaut ProducerJoin the conversation:💌 audionauticsounds@gmail.com 🐤 Twitter @Audionautic📸 Instagram: @audionauticsounds📡Discord: https://discord.gg/8uEpF7JESunwarper: https://sunwarper.com​​​​​​Kh3rtis: https://kh3rtis.comTIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro02:00 - What We’re Up To10:00 - Stem Separation25:00 - Splice Integration52:00 - Bounce in Place60:00 - Auto Pan-Tremelo

This week we’re continuing our Artist Spotlight series with Sunwarper and his new album Today’s Traces: a meditative, ambient journey through memory, impermanence, and the emotional residue of everyday life.Today’s Traces captures the moments that slip between the bigger milestones, those fleeting in-between spaces that define who we are. It’s a record of warmth, stillness, and reflection.Check out Today's Traces here: https://sunwarper.bandcamp.com/album/todays-tracesThanks to our Patrons who support what we do:Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen SetzepfandtLars Haur - Audionaut ProducerJonathan Goode - Audionaut ProducerJoin the conversation:💌 audionauticsounds@gmail.com 🐤 Twitter @Audionautic📸 Instagram: @audionauticsounds📡Discord: https://discord.gg/ZPagy7j8Sunwarper: https://sunwarper.com​​​​​​Kh3rtis: https://kh3rtis.com
