A lot of negativity in these threads. I say ~cudas~ kudos to the author for getting this far! The only similar project I'm aware of is Futhark, and that's haskell-y syntax - great for some people, but to the general class of C&#x2

I just tested against a prompt about using PVDF vs Piezo pickups on a hammered dulcimer, running the same conversation in parallel on 3.5. 3.5 gave more-or-less the output quality you'd expect. This blew it out of the water. I particul

Honestly, while I agree there's a massive price discrepancy, I don't know that I even see Behringer as the "lower end" option anymore. The lowest end is a laptop and pirated VSTs. Behringer pedals? Yeah, those are becaus

Doing a bit of research, it looks like a majority - ~60% across studies - prefer the better quality in double blind tests at 128. At 256/320 it drops off dramatically, yes. I know I personally have sought out better copies of some song

Related: Human sensitivity to "unwanted" noise is impressive. There's a lot of professionally released music out there where the noise floor is high enough to be annoying. Similarly our reaction to lossy codecs not quite pres

I think some of the lock in is because MIDI (1.0, at least) just isn't good enough. I have an Ableton Push (Obviously locked to Ableton ... (mostly, there is 3rd party BitWig support)), Osmose (weird MPE+ standard), and a lot of pedals

A fee, be it $5 or $1 doubling each year, doesn't work well for a variety of reasons. 1. Big players can afford protection even when a product isn't profitable - Disney may lock things up to claim a catalog even if most, independe

I've been going down the rabbit hole of using all physically modeled synths instead of sample based VSTs so that I can fully take advantage of MPE controls instead of trying to get samples to be expressive though arcane incantations of

> You reviewed three DAWs. There's definitely more than 3 reviewed there? Sure, a lot of them still say [TODO] on getting a review, but then I don't want to review something I don't have a significant amount of 1-on-1 time

If you have the money I'd recommend a monome Norns or Teleype. You also may look into 100r Orca and Midinous both of which run fine on Windows and abstract out the pain of developing an Windows

I am a musician that mainly plays guitar and synths. I have a large eurorack, have tried nearly every MPE compatible synth & controller, and have a massive pedal board. I am also an embedded software engineer and have made audio plugins

This post is overtly transphobic. Even if it contains some relevant context, I feel that promoting it is deeply unethical.

I suspect this is the case, but IMHO the practice should be illegal. If you accept returns for the purpose of price reduction you should just do the price reduction directly, both for the sake of the environmental cost and as a matter of tr

OP here. This is phrased beautifully and at least partially reflects my own views. I especially like how you said "It doesn't feel like I "made" the things I did, but that I "found" them". This is a big pa

I'd be fine with it being used to train models. The music world is already extremely derivative and trendy. In western music anyway, we have 12 notes to go around and often only use a subset per song. Additionally, much of a song'

OP here. This was a big struggle in writing this. Things changed so quickly that it's hard to keep up with what's possible.

Odd, I'm also a Comp Eng grad and my experience was exactly the same - including the cross campus bit. I went to University of Nebraska - Lincoln. There was still definitely a fair amount of real cheating though. Especially during the
