Industry plants? Music as an artform VS capitalism / Real VS Fake

Interesting video essay with a thesis that, while centered around Hip Hop, basically applies to the music industry and media as a whole:

Re: Urban Legends (Deephouse?)

Some nice elements that could potentially be turned into a nice deep house tune if tastefully arranged. 👍

Re: United Plugins Randomachine - Free for 3 days

Looking forward to trying it out. I was a bit confused because on the UnitedPlugins site it says it is by Soundevice Digital, but I got an email receipt from MeldaProduction, which I guess United Plugins is now a part of Melda, but the plugins are not on the Melda site. Interesting, they are indeed...

Re: United Plugins Randomachine - Free for 3 days

Can you explain why you regret installing it? Maybe. Most important, I don't see master volume which is needed in my opinion. I don't really like the sound of the effects. Grainy and cheap sounding. Ambience is the worst for me. There should be oversampling option in the right click. I don't see on...

Re: Acapellas for Dub, Dubtechno and House

Free? Get a 14 day trial of loopcloud and use the 100 points they provide and get as many as you can? No idea if they still offer a few free ones as well that cost no points, you may search for them all. Maybe splice offers a similar deal? Idk. Anything else would be illegal as it would be taking fr...

Even better is how it records anything you play via midi without you ever hitting the record button. 🤯

Re: Apple M2 Studio stupidly powerful, M3 will be ridiculous

I heard they may go straight to M4 and possibly announce it at WWDC. Reason? Credible leakers showed a pic of an M4 without any die interconnects. They may ditch the efficiency cores that are not needed on the desktop version and use the extra real estate for more power in the Mac Studio M4. Hopefu...

So they did what some of us wish reason did. Put all their instruments on a standalone hardware unit.

Re: Has it ever been shared why they focused on just the rack vs. the full DAW?

Haven't tried this but, can you not run reason standalone at the same time as live, synced via Ableton link? That way you get the reason sequencer and live just like you did with rewire. Then the bounce menu to import the audio into live and keep rocking with it. 🤔 Should work, no?

Re: Apple M2 Studio stupidly powerful, M3 will be ridiculous

Reason ONLY utilizes performance cores on Mac. Maybe it use the same story on windows?
Reaper does utilize all cores.

This in case you didn't know. Keep on testing.

Re: Apple M2 Studio stupidly powerful, M3 will be ridiculous

He is not wrong, chi individual, because the issue is the number and type of cores available. Whereas before the pro chips were add good as the max sans the GPU, they used to be the winning chip for audio and a Mac mini would be sufficient for most audio tasks. But apple changed strategy and slowly ...

Re: STREAMDECK USERS? Sharing is caring.

Happy to help with any questions! Hey Selig, Watched your stream. It was a very long time ago and I wonder if you've settled on a workflow that fits your needs? How much has it changed since? I'm still pretty new to it, and at the moment feel they the best use for this device is to launch apps and ...

Re: STREAMDECK USERS? Sharing is caring.

Additionally, there is a perpetual license as well which costs I think 49. But I'm not interested in paying for any of it cause i don't want my phone screen on all day. Would be different if I had an old phone or a tablet. But even then the 6 buttons would be enough as an extra set of buttons to the...

Re: STREAMDECK USERS? Sharing is caring.

for that matter, the stream deck mobile app gives you 6 buttons and I think unlimited profiles/pages all for free, so... Hmmm... there's a free trial, but subsequently, you pay at least $25 annually for Elgato Mobile, at least on Android. Touch Portal is about half that price once for a perpetual l...

Re: STREAMDECK USERS? Sharing is caring.

Thanks. Don't have a tablet though. And the free version is pretty limited (you are limited to a grid of 4×2 (2×4) and you can create only one extra page extra to extend your buttons.) I also don't like the idea of having my phone screen on all day every day which is why I'm looking into the stream...

Re: STREAMDECK USERS? Sharing is caring.

I use a Stream Deck+ (the one with knobs) to control Cubase and a bit of Live. it’s awesome for hotkeys/shortcuts, and lets you stack multiples into simple macros—for example, I can have Stream Deck rename, enter the name, and trigger a track color Max 4 Live device in Ableton, with one button. it’...

Re: STREAMDECK USERS? Sharing is caring.

I'm thinking of getting one, but not sure which one to get. Be sure to look at Touch Portal as well. You can have a lot more buttons, and also sliders. Runs on a tablet, but most people have one.
