Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Larin MichaelsBorn and raised in the heart of Motown, Larin Michaels grew up surrounded by one of the world’s greatest music traditions. He began his musical journey at just seven years old as a drummer, laying the foundation for a lifelong career shaped by rhythm, soul, and unmistakable Detroit grit. By fifteen, Larin had expanded his musical palette to include guitar and piano, and soon formed his first rock band, The Noblemen, with longtime friend Mario Bee.

Intelligent Room Simulation: AI That Maps Your Studio’s Sonic DNA
Making a Scene Presents - Intelligent Room Simulation: AI That Maps Your Studio’s Sonic DNAWhen you’re working in a home studio that doubles as a bedroom, office, storage space, and part-time cat playground, it can feel like the whole room is fighting your mix. The low end swells in one corner, the highs disappear in another, and your mixes fall apart the second you play them anywhere else. For years, this was the single biggest problem for indie artists and engineers working outside fancy studios. You could have golden ears, killer monitors, and world-class plugins, but if your room lied to you, your mix would lie right back.
