Steve is above any sort of grift, payola, or underhanded corpo dollars. That is, until I approach him with a new software suite that will quadruple his chart output. And all it will cost him... is a lock of his precious hair. Which will definitely not be used for witchcraft and/or voodoo purposes.

There's some music and retro tech adjacent youtubes that I've been enjoying and because I need to share, here's a few: Look Mum No Computer There's so much stuff in Sam's channel, I don't even know where to start. Restoration/salvage of a church organ including turning the whole thing into a midi device? Seemingly endless euro-rack designs, vintage synths, home built synths from the 60's and 70's? How about a life performance using a few imacs running rebirth using a physical midi console he wired up to match the rebirth UI? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjYQwW9hMoI This Museum Is Not Obsolete There's a ton of other stuff he's done with his vintage electronics museum, test gear, a working vintage telephone switch, just .. a lot of interesting tech. Alex Ball Not so much for tear downs but some lovingly made historical videos about a ton of vintage gear, and incredibly good songs and interesting demos of the hardware. Land of the Rising Sound - A Roland Retrospective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcbpRMZIQ8g&t=21s Last but not least, the algorithm appears to have me figured and started showing me Foleytronics Fx Repair They're a repair shop, and most (well all) of their videos are demos of various items, but some of them are amazing and amusing songs/videos. Matthew McConaughey Playing Kevin’s Arp Axxe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HkQrUJEP30 Hey Dave, Your Arp Odyssey is Done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiOzrCakLMc (the *look* @ 8min just kills me IDK) Hey Jared, We Got The Beans Off Your Juno-106 But The Fire Sauce Is Really Stuck On There https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbdtbxbVgNU Anyone got any retro tech/music channels they want to share?

I really enjoy this guy. Watching his slow progression from "I found some old telephone switches. Wonder what I can do with them." to "I have built a fully working telephone exchange with multiple lines and phones that can call each other." has been such a blast. His series of buying old synth kits from the 60s-80s and then fixing them up and making music with them is great too.

Inept posted:Yeah I'd say affiliate links have poisoned just about every review site. It's like video game reviews where nothing gets less than a 6/10. Affiliate links aren't great, but i think the incentives they create are much less toxic than straight-up sponsorships. Yeah, rtings still does the 6 - 10 scale, but at least with self-bought review units and affiliate links as their main source of income, they don't have to risk permanently losing access or a source of revenue for being too negative about a product. And they still get paid when discouraging users from buying bad products—as long as they successfully guide them to better products instead. They just want their readers to buy something. This isn't true neutrality, but it's a lot closer than most other outlets get. Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Apr 18, 2024 |

I like the Drumeo shows where they get a drummer to listen to a song they haven't heard and create the drums for it. It's really impressive. Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers fuckin killed it, dude is a character too.

His vids are so quick I kind wish he'd actually spend a bit more time on explaining things instead of boiling down to the super quick 3 minutes, which I know is specifically what he tries to do. I think GN, while they may still have some sponsorship/affiliates, are really trying to nurture their own funding model to enable them to be unbiased, or probably more accurately, not be accused of being biased. I really enjoy the Technology Connections guy. He really goes down the rabbit hole on some subjects. Beve Stuscemi posted:Gamers Nexus Steve is actually John Romero aging in reverse

That channel also has the first ever recorded interview with a member of Sleep Token, the drummer ( goes by “II” ) guested and played through some of his tracks and blew everyone’s mind.

My other fave was the guy from Megadeth playing to Mr. Brightside. Pure energy. If more YouTube channels were like Drumeo, YouTube would be good.

He’s such a good sport. The hosts all being in awe as he just slipped right into the song and started adding great fills on the fly. Agreed YouTube needs more stuff like Drumeo. I’m a big fan of Davie504 as someone who has played a bass at one time long ago (but was never very good)

I like Davie sometimes; but 3/4 of videos being extremely dank injokes is alienating. Great player though. Drumeo is so professional compared to most channels. Paul Davids is a similar level of slick, focussed on guitars however.

I mean yeah that's what I do right now. walk over to the print shop and have stuff printed rather than struggle with a printer. It's so much easier to do nowadays because the shop has a telegram account so you just send the file to them and they'll take care of it, rather than having to futz around with a USB stick

repiv posted:steve nexus is going after edvard waterblock Maybe this is just because the only two GN videos I’ve seen have been reading someone for filth, but if he’s going to go with the “uninterrupted  with no pauses” style of delivery, he desperately needs better writing and editing. When the video can be reduced to…
…It shouldn’t take six minutes a bullet to cover it. I wish he’d invest more time in editing down the writing, doing more takes, and editing down the video, because holding folks accountable is valuable in this space, but this format is only reducing the addressable audience.

it does make it harder for other people to chop it up and slap it on their own videos to "react" to, though. sort of a self defence against the worst people on youtube misrepresenting things and stealing content while calling it anything but doesn't mean it couldn't be less dry and spread out, though
