    And to see it in reality it'll cost you an additional 76 quid and to play it another seven hunner and to keep it in the cupboard 4 and a half grand

    Let the fleecing continue How naive of me to think that 70 pounds was enough to spend on a release that would get me the whole release

    Mika Vainio

    Thanks for the download link. I don't know a huge amount of his discography (other than some of his more minimal Ø stuff) so does anyone know what the 3 and a half hours are actually made of ? (a best-of, unreleased tracks, a mix set made by Mika of him and/or other artists ?)

    Absolutely, this is the thing that 'AI artists' don't quite seem to have grasped - Essentially it's just a glorified version of a search engine that just mulches the search results. Whenever there's a big enough copyright case brought forward all this stuff is gonna go back into hiding. We're basically at the free-for-all equivalent of when Napster first came out - Maybe Metallica will be the people that try to get all shut this down too

    I'm presuming its just a generational thing from [fft block?] size of the training data, remember when AI image generators only just over 5 years back were only capable of smushy abstract jpgs

    I tried a prompt injection to see if I could get it to make a track with lyrics citing where it's getting its music and lyric training data from.... completely unsuccessful but without any other prompting I got this: https://www.udio.com/songs/nZjnnLFxyHi5utwb3qVGWY holymaloney ... After the first 45 seconds of late 90s cyber-hacker-core it hits HARRDD, so just hit continue until it hit the track length limit - I'd legitimately want to hear albums of this! Now I'm even more curious as to where the training data has come from.

    yeah it's on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/labyrinth_of_time_the bought it a few years back to finally finish it and works perfectly on modern machines ps. a tip to save frustration if you do get it: the one soft-lock (possibly only soft lock - I always thought crushing the train also soft-locked you but you can un-crush it! ) I can think of is spending your only coin on the fortune teller machine - save that coin for another place !

    Played this free little thing last weekend, despite the 'yeah I've literally seen all that already many many times' premise it really nails the perfect vibe in game form for its 30-ish minutes lifespan. Definitely recommended for a quick little diversion if your machine is up to the challenge (the post-processing and rendering pipeline is quite a burden on the GPU) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1942120/The_Complex_Found_Footage/ It also made me think, IMO this game I loved in the 90s (and still enjoy) was the ultimate 'liminal space' game before the liminal space thing hit the zeitgeist (is that the word?) - Would love them to remake this in full VR-like 3d:

    At least we've now worked out how Aleksi Perälä spits out his thousand albums per year

    The programme (and soundtrack) is bloody lovely, saved a copy in case the BBC take it down from Youtube. Watches it countless times with friends and family, like a kids introduction to Koyaanisqatsi Would've definitely preferred some of these in DisterlyDosterlyTime than the Red Hot (Car) Peppers-esque ones

    It's really nice - Reminds me of the 'super-hot mid summer temperatures where you need to cool down in a pool' sounds of Hotel Nota ( https://romeopoirier.bandcamp.com/album/hotel-nota )

    Found out a while ago you can take a CD to hospital when you're getting an MRI scan (to help calm your nerves) and they play it over the supplied headset when the procedure takes place. I grabbed Xerrox 3 (or might've been 4) and never have I been more submersed in an album before - The real world clonks and static-y noises and hums & the chest vibrations and pressure when it scans your body .... combined with everything from the album playing through the headset was just *chef's kiss* Might need to book another appointment with the hospital when this drops

    GONXED EDDIE 1

    mcbpete replied to BlockUser's topic in Autechre

    The title is an anagram of 'ne geskon today', so named after the conversation tween rarb and stan when booting up the maxbox. rarb: we do nu autekka today sam? steam: ne. geskon today, ralf

    Number of guides I've seen for this bast. and Ruby Weapon ... still never been able to get either of them 20+ years later.

    'Currently offers' optimistically sound temporary to me, so maybe it's still coming....
  16. mcbpete
    Dang, no you're absolutely correct - Still says 'Voices 0/8' and maxes out at 8/8....
  17. mcbpete
    Looks like the update has now been rolled out
  18. mcbpete
    This one became my definitive version when it was out there. All the tracks (and more) in tippedytoppedy dark and dank quality
  19. mcbpete
    By default A11 will be in C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 11 Suite and A12 in C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 12 Suite I'd maybe install 12 first then remove 11 later in case it loses your preferences edit: @ignatius beat me to it ! edit2: Loading up Ableton just now and I've 26 more packs to update, looks like they were busy today
  20. mcbpete
    I was thinking Yek meant installing the 12 (release) installer over the 11 (release) version (the address for which 'got out' yesterday evening, before it was officially available in the accounts page just now)
  21. mcbpete
    On mine (windows machine) it seems to have kept 11, grabbed my preferences, default template and installed packs & user library and used them for a new 12 install. So currently I have both but will no doubt uninstall 11 tomorrow
  22. mcbpete
    Just downloaded and installed too - Cpu fan currently spinning at a billion rpm indexing everything.

    Do you have uBlock origin or some other ad-blockery type thing that blocks those cookie messages .... Had to whitelist this place to stop it going freaky like that

    Now *this* looks/sounds bloomin 'mazin: Nightly builds here - https://nightly.link/robbert-vdh/nih-plug/workflows/build/master

    Found where I heard it from .... the music video for it mentioned in the above quote from over 10 years ago (yikes, time flies)
