If you're wondering why Elon sold his own company to himself at a loss, the puzzle isn't exactly complex:

A. xAI is a "public-benefit-corporation" w/ very limited liability

B. Fidelity invested billions into xAI's Series C after not receiving payments on Elon's debt when buying Twitter

Fuck yeah 😎

Man that's a tough question but I think μ-ziq - Hasty Boom Alert kind of has both halftime and doubletime feel at the same time? I'm having a hard time remembering a specific one but surely a bunch of IDM ran like this.

My weakness with doing sound design for presets and sample packs is that I'll hyperfocus and do shit like spend 2 hours trying to exactly replicate the bass synth from BoC - Roygbiv instead of being productive and churning out 4-6 patches in that time

I miss the time when you could easily judge a man by the contents of his shared Soulseek library.

why does the amen break sound like that

From this morning

Clean it when I get scared about how dirty it's gotten, and then end up replacing a bunch of shit every spring because I didn't clean it enough

Found this video series while searching

I know some basic stuff like 2:1 ratios creating square like harmonics, feedback creating saw like harmonics, etc. Otherwise I'm just using oscilloscope and spectrum views to try and get close to existing snare/rim samples. Help me on my quest for the perfect synthetic snare 🤠

Getting realistic sounding snares and rims on the Digitone II using a combination of the FM and the Comb- filter. Mostly experimenting to find the right ratios for harmonics, but I was wondering, do any of you sound design nerds know a resource for FM ratio settings that mimic real instruments?

The airport Jamba Juice radio just transitioned from Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone into Sister Nancy - Bam Bam. Didn't know that Jamba Juice had access to CIA mind reading tech (or my Spotify profile).

Inside of me there are two wolves, etc.

Yeah I've done just about every life hack imaginable, my actual belief is that the energy demands of modern work life are just incredibly unnatural.

On day 72 of a caffeine break. I mistakenly thought that after 15-30 days I'd have as much energy as I usually did on caffeine days. The assumption was that I had a tolerance and was just managing dependency. That was wrong, my baseline energy is dogshit (or society is just built around caffeine)

Ah this explains why I'm getting so many followers after having done nothing

I really liked Jonas Ceika's video on Cyberpunk aesthetics, if you're looking for inspiration.

I've been using Chroma 100% wet on drum breaks or my drum bus to create rhythmic dub chord stab type sounds, then running them through autopan/filter and dub delay

1000% tru

Most modern cyberpunk I've seen is too much cyber and not enough punk

Be careful, I did this and years later was pissed because my tastes changed and I got rid of so much good shit 😂

Ooh, @hankgreen.bsky.social effectively articulates the frustration I have with Twitter and Threads downranking anything that would take a user off their site.

Bluesky and Mastodon don’t do that and I’m so happy they don’t.

Look, a link! 😱😉 youtu.be/D4ghgVq9z4M

If someone can find me one of those old jackets 🧐

Good to see the moronic discourse from Twitter is already happening here

Stalker 2 has quickly become one of my favorite games of all time. The atmosphere of bleak hopelessness, psychological horrors, and reality breaking events is perfect. The mystery and tensions between factions and shadowy government orgs is great too. Really good inspiration for writing new tracks.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
