  • It can also be used to improve your skills as an artist. For example, there’s a music theory plugin called Scaler 2 which uses AI. You can run recordings through Scaler and it will spit out the chords and key the songs are in. I’ve been using it to learn music theory. I’m not sure if any of y’all have tried learning music theory in a formal setting but a lot of teachers are incredibly pretentious, especially if you tell them you’re a guitarist or want to make electronic dance music. You could technically use it to write entire songs but those would be boring and lifeless.


  • If Trump was president, then the mainstream narrative would be that the genocide in Gaza was simply because of Trump and Bibi’s leadership.

    The media didn’t care about Israel sniping people during the Great March of Return. When Trump bombed Syria, they bent over backwards to say that was the moment he really became President. It’s possible more liberals would care about the genocide if he was in office but the media would likely still back Israel bc that’s what the US natsec ghouls want.

    Nothing specifically is being taken away but a lot of the gear companies like Akai, Moog, Avid (maker of Pro Tools) have been bought out by venture capitalist firms. Akai is actually good example of this. One of their flag ship devices is the MPC line, which has barely been updated since 2017 (the updates they have done recently don’t really amount to much, just extra memory and RAM with a giant price jump to match.) They also use worse parts in some of their newer models so things like buttons and drum pads are more likely to fail in comparison to the older ones. They also allegedly don’t sound as good as the older ones but you can kinda fix that in a DAW or through external processing if you know what you’re doing.

    I might be exaggerating a bunch since Behringer is still around and making cheap stuff is their MO but I feel like what’s gonna happen is a lot of brands will stop selling their budget lines or make their budget lines way shittier. there’s also a good chance a lot of the more innovative/weirder equipment gets discontinued as these VC owned brands focus on the more popular stuff that sells better.

    in terms of what I got, I got a crazy deal on a Korg Monologue, which is a pretty cool analog synth that Aphex Twin helped design. I also picked up an Arturia Microfreak which is still getting cool free software updates 3 or 4 years after it originally came out and a Roland SP-404 mk2 sampler and I picked up an old 2012 macbook pro that somehow still runs all the music programs I want after I swapped out the hard drive for a solid state.
