Core Update 112 | News, Awards of the Week, and More

Let’s kick off the week with some #MondayMotivation. Forget about the cold, gloomy weather outside and start your day off with a song that helps me dance away the Monday morning blues:


Do you have any tracks you’d like to nominate for next week’s #MondayMotivation? Share yours in the comments below.

Soundcore Stories #GoldenSound Edition
This week, @sean.L sits down with 5-time GRAMMY winning engineer Ignacio Molino. In this packed episode, Ignacio teaches Sean how to write a latin infused pop song and they discuss the crossover potential between different styles of music. They also have a very frank discussion about how music streaming may have a negative effect on music, due to the fact it’s becoming harder for artists, engineers, producers, and labels to make any money from the art they create.

Soundcore Frames Life Hacks
Have you checked out all the ways in which Soundcore Frames make your life 100% more awesome? We’ve already had some great suggestions in the comments and my favorites so far are:

@The_Professor
Life Hack 10 - don’t miss your flight
When sat at airport you can be watching and listening to a film while not missing the gate change or early boarding.

@Duane_Lester
Sharing is caring—Best hack is to be able to share with significant other such as your wife. With the 10 styles, I could see me wearing one style and my wife could swap out for a front frame that she likes.

Grats to the winners. Accidentally saw the answers :rofl: So I will not guess.

Grats to @TheSnarkyOne and double grats to @ndalby

I do nt think that the member of the week has to be a what have you done for me lately kinda reward. It could be from something in the past but had to wait in line for it or a number of other factors… at least that is my thoughts.

Truthfully, I will say that being married that I think my wife would like this as well. I could see families buying at least 3 to 4 lenses easily. (her a pair, me a pair, a blue tinted pair and etc).

I could see them being good when driving locally or at longer distances. One of the last trips I took the kids on vacation, I wore my L2 pros and had the GPS connected to my phone. Kids were just loud and it was easier to listen through the buds to the GPS than to have the device talk over the kids. :rofl: (so basically listen to my surroundings and still listen to other stuff as well.
