iZotope and Boris FX join forces to introduce Photon, a powerful new AI audio separation tool. I put it to the test with music stem separation, drum isolation, and dialogue restoration to see how it performs and what it offers music producers, audio engineers, and content creators.

July and August brought a mix of new opportunities, studio sessions and unexpected inspiration—from working with Reason Studios and LANDR on Reason Free to recording with Copywrite and Albany Lou, flipping the Erie Canal song, and simplifying the website for what’s next.

I put Reason Free to the test inside Ableton Live, exploring what’s included and building a complete beat using the instruments, effects, and tools in the Rack.
