  1. Two editor doors, the guided Classic Editor and the node-based Studio Workstation, opening onto one shared saved document and one renderer

    Field guide · July 17, 2026 · updated August 1, 2026

    Classic Editor or Studio Workstation: which one to open

    A practical guide to choosing between the guided Classic Editor and the frame-precise Studio Workstation, and why the choice is never permanent.

    • Classic for a fast guided result
    • Studio for frame-level control
    • One document, two doors

  2. Ordered layers, a beat-aware timeline, and keyframe curves inside the Studio Workstation

    Field guide · July 17, 2026 · updated August 1, 2026

    Inside the Studio Workstation: layers, timeline, and keyframes

    The Studio Workstation is the direct-manipulation side of Sonic Weaver, built on the same saved document and the same renderer as the guided Classic Editor.

    • Ordered layers, no fixed max
    • Beat-aware timeline & keyframes
    • One document, one renderer

  1. A small website measured three different ways: server logs counting every request, a lightweight cookieless counter seeing most visits, and a consent-gated analytics script seeing only the visitors who explicitly opted in

    Field guide · July 16, 2026

    Analytics for a small site without invasive tracking

    A decisions-first approach to small-site measurement: which questions justify collecting data at all, server logs versus client scripts, the cookieless middle ground, honest interpretation at low traffic, and the consent-gated GA4 configuration we actually run.

    • Decide first, measure second
    • Cookieless options compared honestly
    • Our GA4-behind-consent worked example

  2. A library of evergreen articles on a quarterly maintenance rota: top-traffic posts checked every quarter, the middle tier twice a year, the long tail annually, with drifted facts, rotten links, and aged screenshots flagged for repair

    Field guide · July 16, 2026

    A maintenance schedule for evergreen content

    The exact quarterly rota I use to keep a large evergreen library accurate: traffic tiers, a fifteen-minute review checklist, update vs rewrite vs prune verdicts, honest date changes, and build-time checks that catch mechanical rot between reviews.

    • Quarterly rota tiered by traffic
    • Update, rewrite, or prune: a rule for each
    • Build-time checks catch rot early

  1. A circular film strip of visualizer frames closing on itself, with the joining frame highlighted where the loop’s end state matches its beginning exactly.

    Field guide · July 16, 2026

    Seamless visual loops for streaming platforms

    How to design visual loops that survive infinite repetition on 24/7 streams: beat-grid loop lengths, whole-cycle motion, seam hunting, export settings, and bandwidth math.

    • Loop length lives on the beat grid
    • Motion must close its cycles
    • Test three loops end to end

  2. Four visualizer screens in a row, each rendering the same waveform differently: pulsing concentric rings, slow drifting haze, jagged spectrum spikes, and a single minimal line.

    Field guide · July 16, 2026

    Matching visualizer styles to music genres: a working guide

    How to translate genre conventions into visualizer decisions: reading energy profiles, four worked genre cases, layer budgets, and when platform norms override everything.

    • Read the energy profile first
    • Four genres, four languages
    • Platforms bend genre rules

  1. An AI tool being evaluated on a test bench, with real user files and probe inputs feeding in and gauges reporting quality, failure behavior, pricing risk, and export paths

    Field guide · July 15, 2026

    Evaluating AI tools before you depend on them

    A ninety-minute evaluation protocol for AI tools: score candidates on a test set built from your own work, probe failure modes on purpose, verify where processing runs, model repricing risk, and perform a real export before anything important depends on the answer.

    • Your files beat any demo reel
    • Hunt the confident wrong answer
    • Perform the export before you commit

  2. A device and a cloud with AI workloads sorted between them: image segmentation, transcription, and small language models on the device side; frontier models and video generation on the server side

    Field guide · July 14, 2026

    What local AI can actually do in mid-2026

    A vendor-free status report on on-device AI as of mid-2026: segmentation, transcription, and small language models are genuinely local now; frontier reasoning and video generation are not, and the reasons are physics, not politics.

    • Segmentation and transcription: solved locally
    • Small LLMs: useful, with a hard ceiling
    • The dividing line is memory, not model quality
