My debut Album, Here I Am, is available now for free on Bandcamp!

6 tracks--3 video game covers, and 3 originals from me. The track here is Stasis, the song that convinced me that I could release this album in 2022. I hope you give it a listen!

Starting today I will no longer be checking this Twitter account. I am AC3 on Cohost, ac3productions on Instagram (though I don't post on it much), and a.c.3 on Discord.

@macodx_ Here is a post about it if you are interested https://t.co/qw7HdN2QQb

@macodx_ This is on purpose! It's so they're not beholden to Apple's NSFW policy. But you can pin the website to your phone home screen and it's basically indistinguishable from an app. That's what I do

[Alfaroh // A.C.3 - "Here I Am" OUT NOW!!! @AC3Productions]

making short songs is pretty fun--I want to do it more. I just don't really know where to put this kind of stuff, especially without a video.

[Alfaroh // A.C.3 - "Here I Am" OUT NOW!!! @AC3Productions]

I keep forgetting to post about it--this is Moving Day, a short song and video I made for the @inflorescemusic charity stream this past Saturday! It's about the fresh start you get when moving to a new place.

Please spread the word if you know any developers who are also musician:

We're looking for a C++ dev with experience of Qt to join the MuseScore team.

MS4 is only the very beginning. There's still an enormous amount of cool stuff to build! https://t.co/Tk0Rb4tMt6

This effectively makes Audio Modulation a global gameplay parameter system with an elegant solution for resolving multiple modulation sources (via mixing rules)--avoiding thrashing from multiple influencers.
So not only can you use it to volume mix, but also for gameplay control!

[Alfaroh // A.C.3 - "Here I Am" OUT NOW!!! @AC3Productions]

Ah I forgot this came out in 5.2! Lots of new workflow improvements for Audio Modulation are out now, I hope they make people's lives easier.

[Dan Reynolds @dannthr]

Hey #GameAudio folks, as of #UnrealEngine 5.2 the Audio Modulation Plugin has new BP functions!

You can now procedurally create Control Buses and Mixes; you can query Modulator values; and you can query Modulator assignments and procedurally set them. Thanks @AC3Productions

People joked about the design meetings that would happen after TOTK but after playing it all weekend my only thought relative to my work is how much I never ever ever want to have to program *anything* they did LOL

Composers/musicians using the website @AudioJungle by @envato to sell royalty free music - Envato have 'updated' - their T&C's to **now have AI train on your items that you have authored and uploaded**

You are opted in AUTOMATICALLY.

Additionally, your items will now be licensed "in perpetuity" becuase an AI cannot 'forget' what it has learned.

There is no mention of any profit share for authors from AI works derived from authors' compositions.

If you don't want your items to be trained by AI, you need to remove them from the marketplace by June 1st. There is (currently) no opt-out available.

While I appreciate AI is inevitable and some people will be embracing this, the immediacy with which @envato has gone about it while seemingly going against some of their core values is striking. I can't believe they didn't give authors a choice, and have only given 20 days notice to find an alternative.

For those who might be dependent on income from the site, it puts them in a massive quandiary, especially with the lack of time to find an alternate solution. It's frankly shameful behaviour.

I've had an author account there since 2009 - which I will now remove. It kept me afloat during my early years in the industry. I also reviewed items on the site. This policy change and sudden implementation is disgraceful, and I'm now sorry to have been associated with @audiojungle and @envato in any way.

@InvertedSilence It was awesome hanging out at GDC!

@surasshu Starting to think that Marvin Gaye's estate is deadset on killing music.

[Alfaroh // A.C.3 - "Here I Am" OUT NOW!!! @AC3Productions]

@ChrisZukoArt Thanks so much! Stasis is my favorite too (and I think it's the most popular haha). It's the main reason this album happened, I'm really proud of it.

[Alfaroh // A.C.3 - "Here I Am" OUT NOW!!! @AC3Productions]

In case you missed it: back at the end of 2022, I released my debut album! You can find it on Bandcamp for free, a it's on all major streaming platforms:

I'm very proud of it, so I hope you'll give it a listen.
