In this week's episode of the 52 Cues Podcast, we're doing a live Ask Me Anything session! I answer questions about sync licensing, production, and composition!

We talk about the US Copyright Office's AI ruling, the importance of adding human elements to cues, and what genres are in demand. I also share my approach to mastering stems, how much you can expect to earn with 500 cues, and a simple stereo widening trick using sample delay.

Plus, we talk drum mic techniques, my electronic kit setup, and, of course, cats. Because every composer needs a cat.
