The Guardian has an article on OpenAI's latest accomplishment - getting Frank Sinatra to sing a song he never sang:

Do any of you develop audio plugins or applications using JUCE? I've just started getting serious about it after playing around with it for a couple years. I'm really glad there is an adequate amount of tutorials for different things, but I'm not super enthused with how they're written. What is your experience with it?

I am brand new here and, look forward to listening to and commenting on your creations. I made this over the weekend: As noted, these sounds were made with the Arturia DrumBrute analog drum synth: routings: kick - db kick signal > jdx direct drive > thru > hi cut eq db kick signal > jdx direct drive > out > mooer ShimVerb snare - db snare signal > red panda particle clap - db clap signal > joyo digital delay mix out - db mix out video: "food dye, glassware and an overhead projector" footage "drumbrute jam" footage random altered art from the internet Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 -
Genuine question! The way I see it, gain is a budget, and normalizing just makes you start the game with lots of money in the bank. I get it, you also raise the noise floor and the resolution is diminished a bit, but is that REALLY that big of a deal? Does that signal loss really matter that much? I thought that was the whole point of having much higher bit-rate effects processing was that you just had an order of magnitude less things to give a shit as long as the levels sounded right (and of course your monitoring situation was reasonably well-calibrated). Is this just a pristine audio from soup-to-nuts kind of thing? Is that what everyone is shooting for these days unless you're doing some intentionally, over-the-plate lo-fi witch-house-ecco-vape-goth-rave-seinfeld thing or whatever the kids are calling it these days? P.S. Not trying to pick on anyone here if we might have happened to have a germane discussion. This is one of those nagging "Am I just really stupid(*) or, is this that thing where everyone is afraid of asking the same thing" questions. P.P.S. Mods, feel free to merge... this was the most relevant thread I could find: https://forum.watmm.com/topic/70902-normalising-tracks * Also if I am just being stupid please explain. I will not get butthurt about being stupid, I promise.

Sorry bad english..... i have allways thought that there are more advantages in working with audio files instead of midi data. for example, it is very easy to cut the impact of a recorded ride, leaving you with only the ambient ringing tonne. also, by cutting out parts of a recording, and pitching them differently can also do wonders! and there is the good old reverse. for me, working with audio recordings inside my daw (reason7) gives me more creative control of the sounds that i'm working with. but, i dont find me being a guy of control. you can unleesh just as much chaos working with audiofiles. for example stretching (and then quickly exporting the streched sound before it has rendered and fixed all the glitches) has given me alot of chaos in my work. I also think that there are more advantages (for me) in working with "analog" equipment, or atleast -the idea and feel of analog equipment. the idea that all sound created is audio, just a signal and you just kinda play more with it when it is analog gear. just just twiddle som knobs and make up new sounds in the moment. and to make some filter follow a rythem in your head, does not mean you have to do an automation -you record it in the go. i like the playabillity of alaog. the "live" onetake, feel of recording that. problem is that i really dont own any analog gear. and i have an old casio toy synth that sounds very ugly and a SQ1 workstation, but they dont offer that much control over the sounds, -in real time, that is to say. But! i got a mashine last year, yeah -that beatthing with colours and blinky buttons and stuff. it's bacically like an mpc midi controller. But! i love pads! i play melodies so much better on pads, and my brain can like remember the scales when it is on a grid. and i can play rythems very nicely on the pads. i just love playing around with the mashine. the problem is just that if i do something live with it, it can sound nice and exiting but when i want to record something -it all comes down to automations and midi notes...... SO HERE IS WHAT I DID, it's not like revolutionary or anything, but i really got me rid of working with any midi! (: I borrowed my friends soundcard (he doesnt produce anymore, -only gets high) and i dusted off my old stationary PC. booted it up, installed reason7 on that mothafukka, and now my production setup is like a digital marrige beetween two computers (PC + MAC), two soundcards (EIE + BALANCE), two daws (REASON7+MASHINE2.0). so all i do on the mashine software on the mac computer is spit out through the balance soundcard and into the eie soundcard and into the pc and recorded in reason. this new way of working has done sooo much for me! and has given the playfullness of making electronic computermusic back. i am thinking to expand, you can get like very cheap midi replika synths with alot of knobs too, i think aturia makes them. buying alot of midi knob twidling stuff -will not sound like analog DUH!. -But will have the same live, playfull feel in this context. SOYUZ!

http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/02/411473508/how-well-can-you-hear-audio-quality A test trying to determine if people can really tell the difference between low quality mp3 (128kbps ), high quality mp3 (320 kbps) and lossless audio (flac). I got 2/6 flac but only chose the lowest quality once. This was through my logitech 2.1 computer setup. Not the best listening station in my house.

Universal Music Group is attempting to launch a new audio format to appeal to audiophiles: http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/04/high-fidelity-pure-audio In short: 24-bit 96KHz audio on Blu-Ray discs - aka Super Audio CD for this generation. They still think physical formats will sell in this digital age.
