    Wait, what? Which 2022 were you living in?

    I said it wasn't as bad by comparison. I never said it was good. My house flooded in 2019, and partially burned down in early 2021 so I may be biased. It didn't feel like the world was coming to an end in 2022.

    Another thing is. If you spend time keeping up with the news. You're not going to ever have good years. There is always something shit going on somewhere. And good news doesn't grab attention like bad news does. If there is a slow news day, well let's get this neo-nazi on to talk about how we need to segregate people and how fascism isn't so bad.

    I Remember when there was an Ebola "outbreak" a few years back. And there were like... 6-10 known cases overall. And for a few weeks \it would keep coming up in conversation with people, and the news covered each case. And talked about the chances of it getting worse. And I was worried about it at the time along with people I knew. And in the end it was a total joke compared to Covid. And the news STILL spent way too much time covering it when they knew the chances of some major outbreak were slim to none.

    So year 2022 > past few years.

  2. Wow I totally forgot I made this thread. Man I wrote my OP post really weird. Da fuk was I thinking? I don't even agree with it. Must have posted after a few beers or something. Lol. I think I just worded it very badly and some of the statements are over-the-top and don't represent my thoughts. I think I may have been joking for some of it. I'm surprised no one trolled me.

  3. Are there any good apps or plugins that do a better job of categorizing your sample library than just using windows file explorer?

    I really like stuff like Atlas that intelligently categorizes your one shots, but what about samples that are minutes long? I want an ai explorer that will look at all of your samples and categorize them similarly. But anything better than file explorer would be nice.

  4. As far as Ai is concerned I am not worried about the current generation who are getting Ai decades into their life. I'm worried about the younger generations who will never know anything except Ai. We've seen the colossal effect just smartphones have had on Gen Z. Ai will be another beast entirely.

  5. The Unhittable Man. Read left to right. The first one kinda starts in the middle. There are 8 parts. The 9th picture is just a BS academic article I had chatGPT write to justify the weirdness of this skit. Final two is me trying to make chatGPT flesh out the 'plot armorium' thing.

    It's so absurd. It gets better as it goes. I was thinking it would be cool to use chatGPT to build a rich lore with reasoning behind it. And then ask chatGPT to generate stories based on said lore. So you would flesh the lore out, and have chatGPT keep track of all the variables of the lore, to spit out stories that follow the rules of the lore. Ai is going to allow for some absolutely absurd and contrived things.

  6. UPDATE: I have found some promising software called 'AudioStellar'. It not only does a great job of accurately chopping samples, but it will also map them by similarity, similar to Atlas, however unlike Atlas it has some very unique and fun ways of triggering/manipulating samples. BTW i am not sure if someone mentioned it to me on here or elsewhere.

    https://audiostellar.xyz/lang/en/index.html


    I would love software that could accurately:

    1. Take in many samples

    2. Cut them up accurately

    3. Then output them in a new folder as one-shots.

    The reason I want this is due to Ai plugins like Atlas that will map all your one-shots accurately by how similar they are. So if I took like EVERYTHING, all my samples, turned them into one shots, I will now be able to find samples that sound most alike. That would be a game changer as finding similar bits of audio would be a breeze. Whether it be similar drum samples, or 1 or 2 second glitch bits. Would be AMAZING for layering.

    On a side note I've already used Atlas to make some awesome monster kicks by layering 16 kicks that are very similar and creating these beast kicks.

    edit: I feel like I may have asked this already, but I can't find a thread. Not sure if I asked it here or elsewhere.

  7. Just wondering. I have been trying to collect a number of time stretching plugins so I have choice in the ways I can time stretch sounds.

  8. Text to image stuff is great, but this is what I've been waiting for. There isn't much yet, and the samples are kinda rudimentary, but you know it's coming to take our jobs and its gonna be great for electronic musicians. Just posting this as a hub for this stuff.

    The talking samples sound like they belong on The Sims.

  9. So far generation to me is only good for giving you ideas. Even that Djent thing, even if it's coherent ideas 24/7, you still have to wade thru it for usable ideas. Then you are gonna want to change it up. So it's like having a band member improv some stuff, then you come in and reply to that with your ideas. I remember listening to a number of songs and was impressed by like one 20 second stretch. But the rest was just whatever.

    I have never heard anything impressive for more than a few seconds at a time from music Ai yet. IT's because of the coherence of ideas. It'll come up with something cool, then quickly just go back to basic improv feel.

  10. This reminds me of that scene in Amadeus where Salieri plays a little nice tune when welcoming him to meet the king, then Mozart comes in, hears it and plays it and turns into into something very different and a lot better. Then he says something like "It's a funny little tune but resulted in some nice ideas". 

    Also, it's library music meant to be sampled isn't it? Or am I wrong?

    Also 50% is way too much for the contribution. Maybe like 10%. Gees.

    what a weird turn of events. 1-2 year old youtube comments discussing an Xtal sample that has been known about for how long now? I read through some of those comments, and this Steve Jeffries guy says he didn't find out that Richard sampled this until 2016. and that it took 6 years to get co-writing credit for...and then I'm guessing some royalty payment. what the hell? if he's in the music industry, or publishing (as his youtube comments indicate), then how the hell didn't he know about this? Xtal is probably one of Aphex's most well known tunes...unless I just live in a vacuum. this seems to me to be all about money, not some right vs. wrong argument.  

     

    yep

    hey did you have any success with either of these - ninjam or sonobus? I'm looking to try this remote jam thing with someone. no midi though, will be all live playing instruments - guitar, bass, drums, type thing

    We did try it and got it to work but never got to a full session. Sonobus definitely was the answer though. The issue is getting past the latency. We had 200 ms latency tho my internet is questionablle and his is as well, and we were halfway across the world. You can jam in a rudimentary way with it. rtpMidi was the answer to our midi issue.

    Sonobus will rely best on a good internet. And it was an easy setup. Just read instructions, setup, manual, etc ahead of time to make the process easier. If you guys have good internet with ok latency between each other you may  find a way to jam.

    Ninjam.  Works great, been doing it weekly for over two years. Free, open source, Reaper includes a really good client and they are maintaining the code now.

     

    For video, Zoom and similar are kind of high overhead and the latency isn't great.  Use VDOninja. Peer to peer, overhead is almost zero (depends very much on the browser you use, though - Chrome is a big resource hog, for example), can get latency in the milliseconds.

     

    The tools you would normally use for regular livestreaming are mostly garbage for time critical stuff (except OBS, obviously).  Any service that claims you can get low enough latency over the Internet for true real-time playing is lying.  You need a gap system like Ninjam uses. 

    We are gonna try Ninjam tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation.

    ATM we are looking to get low latency audio simply  so he can hear what he is doing on my end. We need it mostly so he can hear what he is doing as I am the one with the FX and plugins and all that stuff, and he is the person playing. So it may be a bit awkward, lol. Hopefully we will find a comfortable solution, ninjam may be it.

    maybe something like sonobus?

    https://sonobus.net/

    We will check this one out, and also ninjam. Seems what we may be looking for. I'm happy we don't have to go with a subscription service.

  13. So a friend and I are wanting to jam in real time. We managed to set up our midi easily to where he can play midi in my daw from across the internet, now all we need to do is figure out the best ways to setup an audio stream we both can hear, so he can hear what he is doing. We are cool with it being low quality streaming as it's more about feedback on his end, and I'll be adding FX and such in my DAW. He will be playing on keyboard and reacting to it. Basically jamming.

    We were thinking of trying to use Zoom or something, but I imagine there must be better ways to do this. We also see there are subscription model services, and we MAY end up having to use it, but we do not need to if we can find something that is either: 

    1. Free
    2. is a one time payment deal

    I mean we just need to stream low latency audio for him to be able to know what I am doing.

    I decided to piss myself off writing in English on watmm, my English is too approximate and I always end up saying bullshit that I didn't want to say, and that doesn't even reflect my thoughts, just because I'm more concerned by writing grammatically correct sentences in English that really reflect what I have to say.
     

    I speak it natively and have this issue sometimes. I'll read an old post and it's like the way i wrote it doesn't reflect what i was feeling accurately.... at all. It'll look like I was angry about something I wasn't, that kinda thing, due to the directness and whatnot. It's important to be observant of it because all the other person can do is read what it is you say and judge from it whereas you have a lot more to go off of and are having to translate it into this  writing thing with rules and conventions others can read. At the end of the day if you are tired or something it's easy to mistranslate what you are thinking.

    Not super often these days. I don't really look at them as similar in any way, even though I mainly painted digitally. This is more of a novel dice roller gadget with visual results. So it's pretty cool but it's nowhere near the enjoyment, effort and involvement of constructing something stroke by stroke. There are lots of aids and tricks in the digital painting world and I always disliked relying on those, but I'm also aware there's a world of traditional painters who think all digital art is BS.

    You could tie paintbrushes to your dog's paws and claim you're the creator of whatever happens. It's easier to feel removed from what Dall-E does as it's pretty unexpected. I'm not sure how I'd feel about a version with super specific instructions or direct brain link. It's a bit like generative music versus playing an instrument, I'm not saying one is strictly better but they are different. 

     

     

    Good point. I think it would be better to think of anything you do as yours on some level. Even if you only gave it a prompt, you gave it existence. I think we should think of Ai Art as an extension of ourselves in an abstract sense this way. Especially since I kinda understand neural networks intuitively now, it just makes sense to me. Your brain does the same think the ai does in this art. It builds in the background out of small fractal variations, presents it to other neural networks designed to judge, and your brain sifts thru it with more neural networks. Always commenting on itself and delivering meaning to this or that.

    I'll admit it's a romantic way of looking at it but that's judging from feeling for you.

    Met Sean and Rob back in 2015, very nice. Chatted outside after their gig and let me take a picture with them.

    Met Chris Clark after his gig and he asked me if I knew anywhere to find coke

    coke huh?
