So something here is terrible music stuff:

I just made sure my wife wasn't coming upstairs for 40 mins because I wanted to listen to Foxtrot but didn't want anyone to know.

So pick any of:
1) the Genesis album Foxtrot
2) the fact that I was craving it
3) because the intro to the album is so good
4) criiiiiinge lyrics
5) the condition of the $1 record I haven't listened to in 12+ years
6) does the lyric "a flower?" even show up on this album?

Anyways I've bought 2 poo poo guitars in the last month thanks to the last thread: A green First Act ME-505 and a blue 3/4 scale Beaver Creek Acoustic. Both are fun to ham-fist so, mission accomplished I guess.

From the latest sonicstate podcast I present this dumb poo poo:


trueno.com posted:

Trueno (from the Spanish for thunder) is a 3 oscillator analogue synthesiser in a USB stick. With the same oscillator circuits found in modular monstrosities and its wild, aggressive filter; Trueno does not compromise on sound quality.

Powerful features such as a built in 24 bit ADC, instant preset recall and automation control allow it to integrate easilyinto your music production process or performance. By swapping the front panel for full PC/Mac control from a VST/AUplugin or standalone application, we can offer Trueno at a price that can’t be touched by anything with comparable features.

Now you can add the raw, powerful analogue sounds you’ve been craving for the same price as a plugin.

We can’t wait to hear what you’re going to do with it!

Pondex posted:

So it's basically a DAW-plugin, but somehow different because you put in in the usb-port?

Well there's actual analogue circuitry in the usb stick. Presumably it oscilates, might filter, and converts to digital.

But it's needs a VST to talk to it. They say the VST is no easier on CPU cycles than good analogue simulation (U-He DIVA, etc)


NonzeroCircle posted:

I genuinely wonder how many will be fooled by this. It'll either sell thousands or like, three.

Every time someone puts a comment on youtube about how analogue circuitry is better than digital approximation of same (based on youtube audio), that is their target audience.

I mean it sounds real good. In their canned demos. Still stupid.

None, the bottom should be entirely made of surgical grade stainless steel polished to micron consistency for maximum contact with the ground, improving earth shaking and therefore overall tone.

No copper. Still polished. Make sure your chassis ground is the one true ground to eliminate distortions caused by the incoming power.

It's the Shawn Lane paradox, they can play like motherfuckers but their music is so hard to stomach.

The Franz Liszt paradox

There was a handful of violin composers who did the same thing: "this song features the highest note and lowest note on the violin, the longest note is a hemi-semi-demi-quaver and also has a note that technically cannot be played on a violin but I'm just that good."

Since I'm not a US resident, can you dumb it down for me? Does that mean Henry J. and his jolly crew of yes-men dotards can gently caress off for parts unknown?

It means the courts are protecting them from being broken up by lenders.

It currently means the board is given a chance to try to right the ship (generally by restructuring their credit) but it also means a judge can say gently caress it and auction off their assets THQ style and pay off their creditors with whatever money they can scrape up.

CEO exit packages are low on the list of payees, I think.

IANAL of course.

My guess wasn't far off.

It's really annoying trying to find details right now. Although it's "funny" when every news story is word for word identical.

Pitchfork is saying that Henry will transition out as a required part of their creditor agreement, everywhere else just thinks you need to know that Chuck Berry and Slash were big fans.

I get how people can hate on Kmac, but he's one of the best things this thread has exposed me to.

My current stupid music obsession is newspapers doing in-depth analysis of "This is America" video.

I think no one is picking up on it being a subtle skewering of trap and rap culture's contribution to gun violence, and no one has mentioned that America is talking about gun violence again, but no one was killed this time. yay music as social device!

So here's some personal Stupid Music poo poo:

https://soundcloud.com/nik-fortuin-153625460/dont-give-up-the-fight

1) The guitar is a $60 first act I only bought because of the previous iteration of this thread
2) The frets are completely hosed so there isn't any point in re-stringing it
3) I realized after the fact that I've taken bits of "The Silence Must Be Heard" by Enigma, "Stairway to Heaven" , and the guitar solo from "Nautical Disaster" and re-worked them

but actually what is stupid is I'm still trying to find a vocal style I like, and the bridge of the song is some low growly thing I did. My throat now feels like I've been gargling chainsaws and I don't even like the final effect

anyways, do people still put tracks up for commentary? or is there a thread for that now.?
