• Midjourney Omni-Reference and --exp: Showing You How They Actually Work

  Two weeks off, and Midjourney dropped two major updates: the all-new --exp parameter and the long-awaited omni-reference. In this episode of Midjourney Fast Hours, Drew and Rory conduct live experiments to break down exactly what these tools do, how to use them, and what kinds of creative control they unlock inside V7. They also cover upcoming Midjourney features teased during Office Hours — including further aesthetic upgrades, sref and moodboard plans, upscaling, quality rendering upgrades, and more ways to fine-tune your style and control.

• Midjourney V7 is (Finally) Here! Was It Worth the Wait?

  In this episode of Midjourney Fast Hours, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn react to the brand new Midjourney V7 update—and things get weird (in the best way). Draft mode? Feels illegal. Personalization? Feels personal. Voice mode? Sounds like sorcery. They throw around hot takes, half-baked theories, and the occasional “wait, what just happened?” as they pick apart V7’s weird new powers and what it means for AI creativity.Somewhere between icon design tangents and ChatGPT hacks, they stumble into deeper questions about taste, tech, and whether artists are being replaced—or just upgraded. It’s messy, curious, and maybe smarter than it sounds.▶️ What you'll learn in this video:• First impressions of Midjourney V7• How Draft Mode compares to Turbo Mode• Voice Mode and the future of AI on mobile• The impact of V7 on image quality and creative workflows• ChatGPT x Midjourney integrations for better prompts• Use cases for icon design, marketing visuals, and AI avatars👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments:What in V7 has you the most excited (or confused)?MJ:FH Ep. 36—Midjourney V7 is (Finally) Here!
