The 4 page format is really showing its limitations, I wish the author would just give up on that and start releasing longer chapters. It would obviously take longer to release but I think it would make the story flow a lot better. With 4 pages every release has to be its own substantial snapshot and it doesn't really allow for a lot of breathing room, especially in the page composition. It feels simultaneously rushed and claustrophobic while moving agonizingly slow.

It's about the twinkle in their eyes. You know music that makes you feel stuff. Atleast that's my interpretation. And yes in RL most modern commercial music producers are soulless money grabbing monsters.... doesn't mean it's always the case. Plus seeing the dialogue from the dad producer, he's into original music as in not the standard copy of a copy music (or what I would call current modern music...because imo it's garbage)

I was with everyone else hating on this girl before, but like. She has a clear purpose now. She's gonna help Koga go professional, whether or not that's actually what she wants we'll just have to wait and see. This is gonna bring in some more development for both of our leads, whether Koga actually wants to pursue a career in music and make the sacrifices that entails, and whether Aya can get over her insecurities about "sharing" Koga with the rest of the world, they'll still have to work on that if they really want to be together, and this is clearly setting that up

the people hating on hime just sound SO miserable, can't y'all see that she's interested in mitsuki's music and NOT interested in mitsuki in a romantic way?? or maybe you guys are hating on her for another reason which I really don't get

Maybe I'm cooking something here:
Father will somehow convince Mitski to sign in some producer-artist agreement (I'm not good with this stuff) and then Mitski and kouhai will get close, misunderstandings between Aya and her (A LOT) jealousy and all that and boom! Big opportunity for Mitski and there's two ways it can go. 1. She thinks of how she can't leave Aya (not happening we need angst) or 2. Mitski leaves believing Aya couldn't understand her or some shit and yep. That's how I think it would go. Either way, doom Yuri here we come!ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ. (⁠/⁠¯⁠◡⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠◡⁠)⁠/⁠¯⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Labels and producers are a pure evil, they don't care about creativity or freedom of expression, they only care about profits and milking of talents. Luckily we live in a time when someone can go self-publish and not wear this collar. Thus, FUCK him
because checks notes a fictional Japanese scout is representative for an entire class known as checks notes music industry

how classist :wooow:

I do not like the vibe from Himesaka's dad. He's like a stereotypical disinterested and casually abusive anime father. Who tells their baby daughter the thing they are interested in sucks, or ignores her? Psychos, Harry, that's who. I can see two routes: Either he's a workaholic, more interested in the shareholders than in his family. OR he's a music otaku, more interested in the Art than in his family.

If Workoholic, he might try to trick Koga into a terrible contract or something. If Otaku, he might genuinely help her make a great album.

At least I correctly spotted that her family was in the music business and would somehow get involved with Koga's music. Now the question is, will it be for the better, or worse, or kind of gray? And how will it push Koga and Aya closer?

The author is cooking.

Bad dad.
If you’re irritated by being interrupted while working lock the door or something. honestly, it shouldn’t be that hard to get back in the zone
What are you doing important production work in a room at home? Testing how it sounds in a mediocre sonic location? Even if you have studio monitors (if you’re a gamer, I recommend saving up for some quality powered studio monitors, btw. Computer speakers will never compare. 6” woofer minimum. Sub isn’t gonna do anything but shake ya ass. So if you want ya ass shaken, get a sub. Don’t know that you need to be super picky. Just spend a little.)

Don’t be so harsh with the criticism of things your kid likes!

If you’re mixing, go to the studio. If you’re just familiarising yourself with the material why don’t you even have cans on?
Why? What? Why?

Are you just seeing if a band is “good enough” to work with?
Steve Albini doesn’t even like most of the bands he worked with! HE HATED NIRVANA but we still got “In Utero“.
How many Pixies albums? Hated them.
He doesn’t know how many albums he’s worked on, because it’s his job to make a band sound good, and that’s not that hard once you have the proper gear and skills.

The man has TERRIBLE taste in music, but he gets paid, does his job, and …that’s it. He churns out great-sounding records by whoever pays him 10k.(Plus $X over a certain amount of time iirc. Could be remembering wrong)
Bad dad, potentially unprofessional producer.

Maybe he’s a producer but not an engineer? In which case he probably drops radio hits and his engineer is ProTools.
My theory about BUMP OF CHICKEN (their caps, not mine) and Alkaline Trio is too much time to muck about in the studio and too much “production” by some dude with protools. Then they got addicted and BUMP turned from a pop punk-esque indie band into disco Coldplay bullshit.
Direct to a tape (if you can afford it) or a high-quality ADC at 24/96 minimum (beyond that is only hypotheses as to it being of sonic effect) multitrack device. Tracks back into board and outboard gear. Back to tape (a half track reel ain’t gonna be so expensive that you need to put it on some digital format with no reasonable archivability. I don’t think going to metal, as Mr Albini does)

Sorry, I miss being behind a board. A LOT. I did live work, mostly. Some digital crap, micing, advice only a few people listened to (why are you using a podcasting mic for your vocals?! You’re a soft, airy soprano! Get a condenser of some kind at the least, and a properly-voiced ribbon mic if you can…)
