    AI - The artificial intelligence thread

    in General Banter

    I was looking for something yesterday so I asked ai. It couldn’t help me and I eventually found it myself. I decided to tell ai what I was after and it basically thanked me for letting it know. 
    So I feel like I just contributed to ai becoming all powerful all knowing eventually. Maybe I’ll be spared when the computers take over :shrug:

    yeah.. those two are kinda brittle to me. but i think it's on purpose. be up a hello sounds great to me. 

    Be up a hello sounds like a return to form. Imo best thing since ultravisitor or hello everything.

    i think he's gone back to classic form when it comes to mixing/mastering. there's a couple releases where the mixing/mastering is really aggressive and that tends to make things more brittle in my experience. i'm maybe overly sensitive to mids and upper mid frequencies so that's a thing i notice right away.. but i'm sure if i listened to those releases now they'd probably sound different. 

    techniques for mastering etc have changed somewhat in the last 5-10 years with lot's of mastering people using clippers in combination with other things to increase volume. for a while some mastering engineers were doing this by over driving the inputs of AD converters.. some converters have really nice analog front end and works well to do that. but software caught up w/the idea and you can do that in the box pretty easily.  using it for some elements in mixes is really helpful too. 

    Yeah, not all the newer tracks but like Ufab and Damogen

    The cancellation of all live commitments meant the prospect of a year's worth of itineraries, airport security, hotels and no sleep was erased, and for some time I experienced a simple happiness not familiar in my adulthood. In a way it reminded me of being a child, where one knows big and awful stuff happens on the horizon but the current moment is a blissful sanctuary. Without customary interruptions, time elapsed differently: Dostrotime

    I didn’t ever really think of it as an album tbh, always put it in the EP category (I know discogs and elsewhere has it as an album). But f-train is 50 cycles little bro (I think sp even says that in an interview?), and the rest of the tracks just seemed to be a bridge between GP and Ultravisitor, with the title track having a very Japanese poppy vibe (given the second disc is Alive In Japan?).

    tl;dr I’ve never considered dyks an album proper. Curious if anyone else felt this way too?

    I only called it an album because that's what beerwolf called it :shrug: lol. I agree with you.

    I had 10 fucking cops in my backyard last night looking for some guy who was potentially armed. I had no clue what was going on so I opened my patio door and they yelled “lock it down!”. I was like “what?” And they shouted back “get back inside and lock it down!” Most of the cops left but then 2 cops stayed behind in the rain and waited there for like an hour. Eventually they were leaving and I asked what was going on again and , after I told them I had a toddler sleeping in our back bedroom and was concerned about weapons being discharged, they said they were sending a K-9 unit and to move my kid to another room (luckily I said something… not like they would have let me know). The K-9 unit never came and I was up way too late looking out my windows. Luckily nobody was shot and nothing was damaged. Thanks a lot, pigs. 

    Didn’t you say that you live in a crazy neighborhood? You gotta move out of there.
