I paid $2.99 for my 12" of I Farted back around 2014, but it looks like they get $5-$6 now.

I goot Awave Studio earlier this year and it works well for most of the stuff I've done so far. This is the list of supporte formats, I'd be ahppy to batch convert between them for you if that helps (it doesn't support any Ableton formats I can see, unfortunately)

Exactly.. Who even uses Last.fm? I don't even understand what to do there.
Back when I was working for Rovi (formerly Macrovision, before they rebranded; now they're apparently AllMedia*), for the last year they had an (unofficial) policy that we should just manually copy Last.fm data into our own database instead of actually doing real research, becuase it was the only good music recommendations and AI couldn't even come close. So we were backending out AI with human created last.fm stuff (the same way AI-driven recommendation still works, except now the whole "stealing human labor" part is fully automated now).
*but I don't really know how that went down, because when I was there Rovi had bought out Allmusic and our company, and merged them into AllRovi, but the Wikipedia article has everything completely different than the way it was explained to us. Regardless of the details, they're pretty awful companies (the one I was working for was OK before the buyout, other than massively underpaying everyone except the founders, just like any other startup).

I probably already posted this, everyone had probably already seen it years before anyway, and I'll probably post it again.

I dropped 15 bucks on a Wii balance board last night. When it shows up I'm playing a fuck of David Ledbetter's My Personal Golf Trainer.

If they can get it to sound like a tuba it could revolutionize banda as we know it.

Been rereading this, it's even more relevant now than when it was written. The comic in the previous post is a great example.

None of my gear is worth anything because I'm not going to sell it.

On Minimalism moves from the style's beginnings in psychedelic counterculture through its present-day influences on ambient jazz, doom metal, and electronic music.
Nice.
I remember in college, around '99 or 2000, I played a track by The Monks for a theory class as an example of early influence of minimalism outside of academic music. The professor wasn't having any of it, and the only comment he had beyond "I don't hear any similarity" was that the bass was out of tune and they couldn't play very well.
A year or two later I found an interview with Gary Burger where the talked quite a bit about how Steve Reich in particular was a big influence on the band at the time, and he considered their music a sort of primitive rock
It's nice to see more people making those (IMO completely obvious) connections in academic settings over the last decade or so.

I was interested in Sudomakers OPL3USB Solution which had support for DOSBOX and Adlib 2 Tracker and it was only 30$ for the unit but they stoped making them.
That sounds great, I wish they were still around.

Yeah, I'd zip up all the old stuff and stick it on an external hard drive someplace. Music is relatively small, I have almsot everything I recorded since 200 or 2001 plus a decent amount of cassettes digitized from when I was a kid, and I'm only up to around 700gb so far. That's about $50 of hard drive space these days, not bad for 20+ years of material.

I really need a USB-A to micro cable longer than 2 feet, but I'm still quarantining and if I order one by the time it shows up I'd be able to just go out and get oe at a shop again. Replaced two ancient, dodgy MOTUs with one mioXL and it's a big step up but the only way I could manage going from 16x16 to 8x12 was to use USB for everything that supports it. And of course half of those things have micro USB connectors - the most worthless connector ever conceived.
Still a huge improvement, though. RTP-MIDI is such a step up from USB for connecting to a computer. For the irst time ever I actually get decent clock timin from the DAW and don't have to mess with complicated workarounds or free-running outboard clock sources or anything. +/1 0.1bpm of jitter at 120bpm from a DAW is like magic.

(i've got a harddrive full of trash recordings because of this! but that's okay, they don't get put out and will get purged)
Those might be some of your best tracks, don't get rid of them.
Usually the person making something is the least qualified to judge how good it is and it's pretty common for people's best work to be the stuff they like the least.

No photos, but I jsut found this awesome looking AdLib compatible OPL2 Raspberry Pi shield that only costs $32.
But for another $150 (plus a Teensy) you can combine it with this:
It looks like it's more designed around the same seller's OPL3 board, but it says it works with the OPL2 also. An AdLib clone with CV inputs and a display with full GUI would be a lot of fun. It even has a multitrack sequencer with song mode!
With an OPL3 it should be on par with most of the original Yamaha 4 op FM synths (I don't think the OPL3 can do everything the chip in the TX81z did, but I might be wrong about that), but i really like that OPL2 sound.
Not dropping that much money on gear any time soon, but I'll probably get the actual OPL2 board just to have around.

That new single-sheet grid looks very, very Linnstrument-like. I assume if they were actually licensing his sensor tech it would be all over the marketing materials, though.

I haven't used any of their synths (a friend has a Neutron and it sounds great, I was saving up for a Deepmind 12 before it was released, but I stumbled on a Juno 6 for $300 less than the prerelease MSRP for the Deepmind so I didn't end up getting it), but their Boss guitar pedal knockoffs are FANTASTIC. I haven't tried any of their other pedals, I looked at some demos of their MuTron Bi-Phase clone and wasn't impressed - by all accounts the modulation sources are all digital and the side by side comparisons I listened to werent even close (for what that's worth).
The CC-300 is one of the better synth choruses I've ever used, but I don't pull it out much since I got a Boss CE-300 (thanks to THawkins for helping with that!) and modded it for line level a few years back. But I'd absolutely recommend the CC-300 for synths, even at the inflated used prices.
I had a small Xenyx mixer for a little while and it was the noisiest mixer I've ever used.
The V-Verb was one of my favorite reverbs of all time but one of the analog inputs doesn't work and I don't have any digital i/o on the interface I use now, so it's on a shelf. Maybe some day I'll find one with a broken display cheap and swap the i/o board.
If I had money to throw around I wouldn't hesitate to get a Behringer 2600 and/or 2500.
MY big complaint about their recent stff is the same complaint I have about 99% of modern music gear - PCB mounted plastic potentiometers and jacks that aren't going to work very well in 10 years, much less 50. That's where every manufacturer cuts corners now.

Trying to 100% Myhouse.wad as blind as possible. After my second run through I looked up a couple early-game hints (without spoiling too much, I looked up the water related one and I checked a WIKI after I'd spent about 15 minutes in the closet, to make sure there wasn't something I was missing) to get an idea of the logic behind the less obvious stuff. And I didn't bother playing through The Underhalls after my first playthough until I saw that mentioned somewhere.
Also I cheated once. I made the jump near the bad doggie after about half a dozen tries and then fell off before I realized I'd made it. I never managed to make it again, so I eventually I ended up noclipping up there.
It's pretty hard to resist watching some videos and poking around out of bounds just to see how all of the stuff was actually pulled off.
Definitely worth doing the first run completely lind and then using Journal.docx and the other stuff that comes with it to figure out the harder parts. And ABSOLUTELY worht playing, it might be the most impressive Doom map I've ever seen, and I missed almost all of the hype so it's not becuase of that. I just wanted to see how a single map had enough to justify a that review Youtube keeps reccommending to me being longer than most movies.

If you haven't seen or read anything abotu it yet, DON'T. Read the first post, download the Google Drive stuff, but don't even look at any of it until you've played through the .pk3 file (NOT the WAD!) in GZdoom. You'll probably see about 25% of it on your first playthrough.
