If people here are seriously asking for evidence-based proof that acid can destroy people, then they are not very old or have survived partying / rave scenes. The term "acid casualty" exists for a reason. I've known a f

You do realize crypto is part of the same speculative bubble? And before the strawmen start piling up - that doesn't mean all crypto is forever useless, but right now crypto it is absolutely over-invested in relative to liquidity.

The more I read about this subject, the only thing that becomes reinforced is that nobody really knows what the hell is going on with the markets. The inflation / deflation debate has been raging on for years now, and it's still

Probably the most brilliant contributor to the art of sound design is a guy called Walter Murch. He's somewhat of a polymath in film, as he not only designed the sound for The Godather trilogy and Apocalypse Now, but he also edited th

You don't happen to have a hi-hat decay slider for an MPC60 lying around? Can't find a replacement for the life of me, and I've taken to sad attempts like this when the opportunity arises :D

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think the snark is a little deserved for Ive. It all got a bit sanctimonious there at the end of Apple, didn't it? Huge talent though and I hope the guy can do something cool again.

I think you've misinterpreted them. The discussion is about the 'intention' of somebody mentioning privilidge, not the social merit of the act itself. If one mentions it in a genuine way that is contextual to the discussion,

You've just interpreted everything I said in the most absolutist and uncharitable way - then steamrolled over it with your own hyperbolic ideas.
