I bet there was a moment where you thought about doing it though......(as would I have done)

Yes, to which I'll add - keep making that half-broken Pd patch, keep collecting field recordings of your washing machine, keep producing dance music that inflicts foot injuries, keep doing exactly what you're doing as it's a hell of a lot better than what a lot of people are doing with their time.

UK proposes letting tech firms use copyrighted work to train AI Consultation suggests opt-out scheme for creatives who donโ€™t want their work used by Google, OpenAI and others

Broadly speaking this is going in the right direction.

But, this should absolutely be "opt-in" only!

It sends a huge signal to third parties that they can effectively do anything they want with your work, because you didn't say no, and then get away with it.

I understand the stance from many to say "no AI at all" but I don't believe that's practical or achievable.

This seems to be a good start and a pathway forward, I encourage you to read it.

If you don't agree let's talk, this is a complex topic, I'm open to ideas and willing to change my mind.

I don't know what Jeremy calls his series of VCV patches that he posts pretty much every day, but I call them bangers :)

Inside it's basically lots of instances of Sync Vereor and Ruina (both free) going in to an EQ, all with tons of parameter modulation all tied back to the modwheel all "tuned" differently to create the raspiness.

This isn't even half of the macro setup lol

It's PluginGuru Unify, been using it for years now. It's a wrapper/host for other plugins, but with lots of useful features on top.

You can run it as a plugin, but I tend to use it more in standalone mode because it cuts out a lot of DAW crap doing patch design and lets you to play more.

Even if you don't have Bitwig or the Grid, your man here knows his stuff and you can learn a thing or two, great vid.

(and if you're jealous of the Grid there's always plugdata ๐Ÿ˜€)

Also big shout out to Astrobear, he on here yet?

I have it, it's ok, drivers used to be a bit unstable but have improved. It does help but can take a bit of tweaking to avoid it doing weird things, like all automated stuff.

If you wanted some alternatives, ARC by IK does a good job, but you can get a long way with REW and a cheap measurement mic.

I'm obviously preaching to the converted then๐Ÿ˜

If you haven't already check out the Modal Filter in MSF. Load some audio in to the 4 Structures to "sample" the harmonic relationships, it's so good.

Personally, I think MSoundFactory trumps MXXX, but only if you're in interested in synthesis more. You get MXXX *INSIDE* MSF, you just can't route external signals in to it, so you get aaallll the FX to play with, on top of some incredible synthesis stuff, all on the same platform.

Love the Melda stuff! If you can invest a little time and get past the interface, they're hugely powerful and flexible

If you're spending money on a VST synth workstation, and if you time it right, picking up MSoundFactory for around 100 bucks is insanely good value for money - you get all the FX!

Yeah that's a fair take, sorry I was just going on what you said about length. Video on here only launched a short time ago so I'm sure it'll get better over time, and don't let it put you off posting - that last render is tasty!

I wouldn't put myself in that "plugin maker" group just yet, but I'm interested in what you're cooking up.
