In your opinion (ignoring lack of Ableton support), is CLAP the way to go for plugin devs?

WHAT

Tony’s voice in The Shining is just vocal fry

How are you liking polymaths??? I have so much modulation already that I couldn’t justify getting it

Mathses???????????

supposedly it’s just a balloon????? did we learn nothing from Roswell almost a century ago????? COME ON

congress out here believing in aliens before trans rights

also, expect another 2 track EP featuring these tracks soon… some 172 bpm bizness

so hard in fact that the two tracks I’m trying to complete I started ~2020… and their working titles have been “Control” and “Acceptance”. i hadn’t consciously connected the two… but now they are entangled - two sides of the same coin. anyways, i thought this train of thought may be interesting

just gleaned a really cool insight from a koan sound video about finishing projects which really resonated with me. deciding when art is finished is an intentional act of acceptance and a decision to relinquish control. and that’s why it’s so hard for me

Gaining the reference down to my track’s LUFs, and then having two minimeters open (one for my track, one for reference), and looking at relative mid/side waveforms for different bands (0-300hz, 300hz-3khz, 3khz-20kHz) really unlocked something for me

For the first time in my 10+ years of making music, I finally had a mix session where I was referencing one of my favorite songs and it was actually PRODUCTIVE and did not want me to rage quit

barbarian, weapons, talk to me, bring her back, and to some extent (imho), skinamarink

besides Smiley

i saw weapons again last night, the YouTuber to horror director pipeline is real; there hasn’t been a miss yet

check it outtttttt and catch her on tour!

i saw a cybertruck with a realty company ad wrap today

The Connections today makes me want to launch myself into the sun

Bruh there is a serious Snuggie reference in the latest Alien Earth episode

Trillionaire using a Blue microphone despite them not being a brand for over a literal century

what even is this show????? Aliens attempting communicating with a “chosen” person?? Is this seriously trying to pain aliens as empathetic and sentient creatures crying for help from one specific person?

alien earth episode 4: robot protag can “hear” alien communication above 20 kHz. No other robot can (??? Despite it being a SOUND). Humans ask her to make the sound, so she does. Despite it being above 20 kHz, the humans can hear it. Why didn’t they just record it with a mic and pitch it down?

more than ever right now making raw art from the heart without any major commercial incentive is an incredibly important thing to be doing. do NOT be silenced by your own fear or doubts

laughing maniacally at Roblox crashing and burning

the long walk? more like the first phase of the hunter exam

Ah yes, camouflage, the pattern famously associated with drum and bass and “urban, industrial” (…?)

plus a bonus “disturbed child draws monster” trope

Alien : Earth asks the important question, what if 70% of the characters were Newt.

this is absolutely killing me, I’m watching it right now lmao
