Welcome to audio.tips

A new domain, a clearer direction and, honestly, a moment of gratitude.

After seven years as MPW, we are opening the next chapter with audio.tips. During that time, we published, tested, compared, explained and learned a lot about what people in audio actually need: practical knowledge, honest guidance and content that helps when you are stuck in the middle of a session.

So before anything else: thank you.

Thank you for reading, sharing, questioning and coming back. A platform like this does not grow through articles alone. It grows through people who care about sound.

What is audio.tips?

audio.tips is a new online magazine for sound engineers and content creators.

We write for people who record, mix, master, edit, produce, perform, design sound or create content with audio at the center of their work. Whether you are building your first home studio, working on client mixes, producing music, editing podcasts, creating video content or trying to understand your gear better, audio.tips is made to help you move with more confidence.

Our goal is simple: useful audio knowledge without unnecessary noise.

Not every question needs an overly technical answer. But in our experience, the best simple answers still come from real-world experience. That is what we want to bring into every guide, recommendation and explanation.

What is audio.tips AI?

In simple terms, the audio.tips AI Companion is a customized version of ChatGPT, available for free in the ChatGPT Store.

But it is not meant to feel like a generic chatbot.

audio.tips AI is designed specifically for audio engineers, music producers, musicians, artists, voice actors and content creators. It responds differently than standard ChatGPT because it follows a more audio-focused workflow. It understands studio situations, production questions, mix decisions, mastering preparation, plugin choices, creative blocks and the kind of technical uncertainty that often appears when you are working alone.

And let’s be honest: audio work can get lonely.

Sometimes you need a second opinion before sending a mix. Sometimes you need help understanding why a vocal feels harsh, why a master does not translate or why your workflow suddenly feels slower than it should. The audio.tips AI Companion is built for exactly those moments.

It can help you structure decisions, question your assumptions, explain technical topics, suggest workflow improvements and give feedback when no one else is in the room.

It will not replace your ears. It will not replace taste, experience or human collaboration. But it can become a useful companion when you want to think faster, stay focused and keep moving.

Try it out and accelerate your productivity.

Who is behind audio.tips?

audio.tips is built by a small team with professional experience in sound, design and technology.

Behind the platform is an independent collective of multiple experienced audio engineers, content creators, designers and developers.

That combination matters to us. Audio knowledge should not only be technically correct. It should also be easy to access, clear to navigate and enjoyable to read. We want audio.tips to feel like a well-organized studio: practical, experienced and focused on helping you make better decisions.

What comes next?

We are building.

New guides, tutorials, recommendations and deeper audio articles are on the way. Some will be beginner-friendly. Others will go further into engineering, production, mixing, mastering, studio gear and creative workflows.

Step by step, audio.tips will grow into a structured resource for people who want to improve their sound and understand audio more deeply.

Stay tuned.
