Any musicians here? The other day I was laying down a bass part at home, working off a laptop with Pro Tools. If you’ve ever used a DAW, you know how visually busy it gets.

I was squinting at the edit window and thought I would throw it up on the TV screen. It worked, but it felt oversized and not very usable.

Then I noticed my Apple Vision Pro sitting there and decided to try it.

Using Mac Connect took a couple minutes. Suddenly I had the entire session in front of me exactly how I wanted it. Edit window stretched wide, about twenty tracks in the mix window, plugins open, transport visible, all sitting in a clean, controlled space.
The experience completely shifted.

I added my AirPods Max and the distractions disappeared. I know that doesn’t work with everyone’s headshape or setup, but for me I just locked in.  No clutter, no noise, just a focused environment I could stay in for hours.

Working in the entertainment business, ironically it can be hard to find the time and focus to get back to the creative side. But I was a musician first, and I really need to take time to play, write, track, or just experiment.

The AVP lets me think about that creative space differently. Less about the physical setup in the studio, more about controlling the environment around you.

If you’re Canadian and know anything about the 90s alt-rock scene, I bet you know Odds. It’s incredible to experience the band in a new way. 

If they’re new to you, this show is a great way to get to know them!

What makes this performance stand out for me is how alive and locked in the band still sounds. The musicianship is top-notch, the stage banter is classic Odds, and the intimate setting puts you right inside the performance instead of watching from a distance.

A little more about Odds:
Odds helped define Canadian alternative rock in the 1990s with a run of hook loaded radio favourites including “It Falls Apart,” “Heterosexual Man,” “Someone Who’s Cool,” and “Eat My Brain.” Formed in Vancouver in 1987, the band earned multiple Juno nominations and became a staple on MuchMusic and rock radio across the country through sharp songwriting, relentless touring, and the unmistakable voice of Craig Northey.

I feel like I’m there, and I have the best seat in the house!
