For free, you can use Reaper's stock tuner plugin to convert pitch to MIDI and use the Midi to control the cutoff of a series o bandpass filteds tuned to the overtone sequence (either a single instance of ReaEQ with multiple bands, or a separate instance per band on separate tracks if you neeed the individual harmonics completely isolated. I haven't used the pitch to MIDI feature in Reatune so I don't know how good it is, but I use ReaEQ for nothing out hum a lot and its narrow bandpass and notch filters go really narrow and work well for this kind of stuff. It might take some basic scripting to map MIDI notes to frequencies, I can't say off the top of myhead whether that's a stock feature.

Not specifically catered to electronic musicians, but I just discovered (though the painstaking process of it being one of the top 5 search results for the title) that the Tufts Digital Library has a full PDF of Everyday Tonality by Philip Tagg just sitting out there for free download: https://dl.tufts.edu/concern/pdfs/hx11xt121 I don't know what else is on there (nothing music related I could find), but I guess it's just honor system as far as downloading it if you don't already own it. Makes the archive.org lawsuit seem even worse when major universities are jsut giving the stuff away freely (at least with Archive you ahve to go through the trouble of printing the whole PDF as images and then recompiling them into a new PDF if you want a DRM-free copy from their lending service). I don' think it's a special case of the book being made freely available by the author or whatever, since Cambridge University Press still charges $26 to download the same PDF.

I'm just relieved that there isn't a new Fred movie.

I was worried this thread was about

I Shot the Devil would be a banger. IK HAKTE REAGAN

The other night I woke up and couln't get back to sleep for about an hour. While I was lying there I kept thinking about gabber versions of all the songs on the first Suicidal Tendencies album, but by when I woke up the next morning it seemed like too much effort to actually make them.

I wish they'd doubled down on being an amazing neo-krautrock project. But I wish every band ever had done that.

I've actually still have a burned disc with Windows 97 on it that I got back in the late 90s. But it was just one of about 200 things on a Malaysian warez CD ("Winboss Webmaster's Toolkit") that the computer lab tech/IT guy at my school brought back when he went on vacation over there in 98 or 99, and of course they stuck more programs on there than the actual capacity of th disk so the CAB file for Windows 97 only has the first 20 megs or so and it won't install, even if i swap in a regulat Windows 95 CAB., so I'll never know if it's the same windows 97 that finally made it to the internet a few years ago, or a different one. They were all either Windows 95 or early Windows 98 betas with some graphics changed as far as I know.

That thing would be great if it had 8 tracks instead of 6. And pan controls (although since it doesn't really seem to be designed for actualy performing a mix so much as simple summing, and it at least has soe stereo inputs, so its feature set does seen well thought out for the purose and if I had the income or it I'd probably get one). The Bam is one of the best pieces of gear I've ever owned, though, so I'm sure this thing sounds great and is well built even if it does have 1/8" jacks (1/8" jacks on anything should count as a war crime). I'd definitely take it over that Teenage Engineering thing any day. EDIT: I just looked at their site and noticed it has Mackie-style alternate output, that's more important than any of the things i would miss from a conventional mixer. Mute-to-alt-out is REALLY handy and every mixer should have it. So handy it makes me actually use Mackies pretty regularly, even though they've been cconsistently unreliable, bland sounding and awkward to work on. That alt out makes up for it.

I actually got to study in a group with this guy for a couple years in the mid 2000s, and he rips. Seems like a really nice guy, too, although back ten English wasn't one of the 3 or 4 languages he spoke and my French is garbage so we did everything through an interpreter.

Awesome! I picked up the older reissue of that Peace record in NYC years ago, but it doesn't sound nearly as god as the 2016 one the Youtube video is made from, so I don't listen to them as often as I'd like.

Plus, you know, lithium cellls don't really scale up that well since it's a lot less abundant than fossil fuel and also nonrenewable.

If it does. As far as I can tell, the last major advance that has been made in battery technology was when alkalines were developed in the 50s (EDIT: I double checked and this is actually wrong, compact alkalines came to market in 1949 but they were invented in 1901, so every major battery technology in use today is older than 100 years, other thanthat 1949 chemistry tweak that made alkaline batteries mor epractical). The lithium ion tech that electric cars use was developed over 100 years ago, before WWI, even though it wasn't brought to market in a practical form until the 70s. There have ben advances in manufacturing techniques and cost, but the underlying technology is VERY old and pretty much mature. When I was just out of college, around 2003, one of my roommates was doing a postgraduate research fellowship at MIT in this exact field. There hadn't been a significant advance in decades, and he said it was a field where you kept doing paid fellowships until you either made the one new discovery that revolutionized everything, which he said was less likely as winning the lottery, or retired. He was 40 and still doing research. About 5 years later he quit and moved to Canada. I hope we get a source of cheap graphene or something that at least lets us make them smaller, that would be the biggest advance in generations even if it wouldn't really be a new technology.

Wait, I take that back.

I just want a better MIDI router, a modest control surface like the Behringer X-Touch Compact, and some acoustic panels. Maybe a hydrasynth some day, but I've already got more than enough instruments.

The new Airwindows reverbs that have been coming out recently sound pretty excellent. I haven't had time to watch most of the videos but from what I can gather he's trying to replicate the entire Waves Abbey Road set algorithmicaly (the Waves stuff is impulse responses I think, never used it myself), by ear, as a sort of statement about the new Waves subscription model. i don't know how similar they are but so far they're really nice sounding reverbs on their own terms.

I'm not fcking around about the slurs, though, watch out.

I'm at a real moral crossroads here. I've never had a Spotify account, but I just found out about Youtube deleting all of Grant MacDonald's videos with no explanation a little while ago, and as far as I can tell a lot of his work is only available on Spotify right now. Sure, there are about 350 versions of Ram Ranch on archive.org but he has at least 1000 other songs. EDIT: I didn't see the second column in the playlist, it's actually 500 versions of Ram Ranch. So maybe 1/3 of his catalog, but the Ram Ranch cycle alone has over 700 songs so this really doesn't cut it. EDIT 2: I forgot about soundcloud, crisis averted. EDIT 3: crisis reinstated, it only has a few of his pre-Ram Ranch tracks. He's no JustinRPG but he's got a sound. (And yeah, I know he uses a lot of slurs, that just kind of comes with the territory as this stuff goes; forget it, Jake, it's Ram Ranch)

New contender: Usually when Youtube decides on its own to turn autoplay back on it's annoying, but every so often it works out.
