  1. Anytime someone says anything about draining a swamp, it should be responded to with "So we can build luxury accommodations for pedophiles where the swamp once lay?"
  2. That's kind of what I do with this Sunflower pedal, but its got presets and midi control so no I'm dialing in 4-5 sounds I like in presets and recalling it with a button press live, which of those presets that button activates depends on the song. The midi investment really sucks a homeless dick, but at least its one and done and then you have a lot of ability to manage complexity live.
  3. Yeah, believers are gonna believe no matter what, non believers aren’t going to believe until real physical evidence is provided. Wake me up when there is physical evidence of aliens.
  4. Switches, too!
  5. Ttremolo Tuesday. Flower Pedals Sunflower deluxe is just a sublime stereo trem. Does all the tremolo things you could want, and at low depth/rate it basically becomes a lush dimension chorus.
  6. I read that as "He's a porn star in Kentucky" and I'm trying to figure out which would be less surprising.
  7. I think this brings up what I think is going to happen. We are one Chernobyl incident at the hands of AI away from people sobering up pretty quickly. That’s when people will get real about how AI can be used in a responsible fashion to drive the next boom. Until then, it’s gonna be a lot of drive to push organizational RPMs past the red line without consideration of consequence.
  8. I sold a Roland keyboard to a guy trying something like that on reverb. It had sat a long time and I had dropped price quite a bit while still allowing offers. He kept sending lowball offers, texting me about how he needed it for his church and would use it in service to the Lord. I got sick of it, refused an offer of 50%, took off the ability to make offers, raised the price 20% and quit responding to his pious yet dumb ass when he kept trying to message me about why I raised the price and removed the ability to make offers, I thought we were negotiating, etc… A week later, a reverb user with a female first name but same last name and shipping address bought the keyboard for my +20% price (which was still a reasonable price given how much I had previously reduced it). The Lord works in mysterious ways…
  9. Duane Allman. Solely wrote exactly one song for the Allman Brothers. I wonder what other songs and sounds would have emerged from him over a longer career?
  10. To me, the biggest issue is that the people calling the shots have no clue how to differentiate between different types of engineering work let alone the risk levels associated with them. I see Claude being great at exploring code, great at authoring code, great at carrying out experiments cheaply, which means... it's gonna excel at greenfield feature development. But writing greenfield code has always been the easy part. That code and the infrastructure it relies on still needs to be owned and operated and Claude is not helping in that area. It's making the existing bottlenecks tighter bottlenecks.
  11. https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16dd04 First, you should locate yourself on the chart. What stage are you in your AI-assisted coding journey? Stage 1: Zero or Near-Zero AI: maybe code completions, sometimes ask Chat questions Stage 2: Coding agent in IDE, permissions turned on. A narrow coding agent in a sidebar asks your permission to run tools. Stage 3: Agent in IDE, YOLO mode: Trust goes up. You turn off permissions, agent gets wider. Stage 4: In IDE, wide agent: Your agent gradually grows to fill the screen. Code is just for diffs. Stage 5: CLI, single agent. YOLO. Diffs scroll by. You may or may not look at them. Stage 6: CLI, multi-agent, YOLO. You regularly use 3 to 5 parallel instances. You are very fast. Stage 7: 10+ agents, hand-managed. You are starting to push the limits of hand-management. Stage 8: Building your own orchestrator. You are on the frontier, automating your workflow. If you’re not at least Stage 7, or maybe Stage 6 and very brave, then you will not be able to use Gas Town. You aren’t ready yet. Gas Town is an industrialized coding factory manned by superintelligent robot chimps, and when they feel like it, they can wreck your shit in an instant. They will wreck the other chimps, the workstations, the customers. They’ll rip your face off if you aren’t already an experienced chimp-wrangler. So no. If you have any doubt whatsoever, then you can’t use it. Working effectively in Gas Town involves committing to vibe coding. Work becomes fluid, an uncountable substance that you sling around freely, like slopping shiny fish into wooden barrels at the docks. Most work gets done; some work gets lost. Fish fall out of the barrel. Some escape back to sea, or get stepped on. More fish will come. The focus is throughput: creation and correction at the speed of thought.
  12. We need you to upgrade the database server. Ok, put it in my queue. We need you to upgrade the kubernetes cluster. Ok, put it in my queue. We need you to setup the infrastructure and deploy the app to a new data center. Ok, put in my queue. We notice your queue is backing up, you really should be using Claude to help you parallelize more. Did you get the memo that all engineers are required to work on at least 3 features simultaneously with the help of Claude? I got it. It’s not applicable to the work I do. Not all engineering work is equivalent or able to be parallelized. Would you ask a demolitions expert to defuse 3 bombs simultaneously with the help of AI? Haha, you are funny. Seriously, look at this LinkedIn post. A guy I went to business school with vibe coded a micro blogging platform in a week! How much data is in their database and how many concurrent users do they support at peak hours? Well… none, it hasn’t been released yet. Well, maybe these aren’t even remotely the same fucking things, then. <Uncomfortable silence> Will you at least read this LinkedIn post? Ok, put it in my queue.
  13. I mean, you don't even have to rethink your deeply held religious beliefs, you just have to re-evaluate which people behind the pulpit you want to believe are speaking on behalf of your God.
  14. We’re not telling you it’s a virus, but it’s a virus.
  15. Nice pivot from it will take your job to it will be your most loyal companion. Agreed, fuuuuuck you.

    Could go in a few threads, but seems like it should be of interest here. Bandcamp limits the use of AI on its platform. Today we are fortifying our mission by articulating our policy on generative AI, so that musicians can keep making music, and so that fans have confidence that the music they find on Bandcamp was created by humans. Our guidelines for generative AI in music and audio are as follows: Music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp. Any use of AI tools to impersonate other artists or styles is strictly prohibited in accordance with our existing policies prohibiting impersonation and intellectual property infringement. If you encounter music or audio that appears to be made entirely or with heavy reliance on generative AI, please use our reporting tools to flag the content for review by our team. We reserve the right to remove any music on suspicion of being AI-generated. https://blog.bandcamp.com/2026/01/13/keeping-bandcamp-human/
  17. Legitimate curiosity here. Is AI generated kiddie pr0n illegal? I mean, I think it should be, but it seems like we are on a frontier without precedent? I remember when the CANSPAM act was enacted. It wasn't illegal to spam people without giving them the ability to unsubscribe from email marketing lists before that.

    Not DAW agnostic, but I know you can use Flex Time in Logic to move nudge notes in an audio track around. Might ask ChatGPT if there is something in Reaper akin to Flex Time in Logic Pro X? https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/flex-time-and-pitch-overview-lgcp15968647/mac Which I am going to use as an opportunity to endorse ChatGPT or Gemini for these types of questions, often it can yield good results or at least a meaningful direction.

    For anyone getting into this, I would highly recommend picking up this book. Am sure all the info it contains can be found for free, but I like having the Bible by the bedside so to speak.
  21. Goredho replied to Lurch's topic in Music
    It will be that for me. Any resources/entry points for getting up to speed with it? Or just RTFM?
  22. Goredho replied to Lurch's topic in Music
    Anyone here work with Ableton Live much/any? I'm about to go down that rabbit hole when I get my music making space put back together.
  23. I’ll take it at a discount after the inevitable headstock repair 😜
