Hey kids! I added another bass line in case your speakers can't reproduce a sub-bass well, and added strings, too!
Also turned up the guitar. 🤘😎🎸
And the bass.
And the vocals b/c the bass and guitar are louder plus I added #strings. 🎻
How's your weekend going?

One day, one day...
... there'll be a DAW with a GUI that includes people with impaired eyesight like me.
But that is no current DAW.
(Background: I am not partially blind but I have bad enough eyes that I qualify for NHS vouchers.)


Turns out the PO-20 accepts a 3.3V signal for sync. Recording and jamming with 1 hand was probably more difficult than making this work.
Next step: Audio sync and theming support.

So far I’ve been recording and producing my own music and now I’m working with a friend to mix and produce their music.
The style is similar but it’s so different working with others when you don’t have complete creative control.
I want to build experience and confidence in my #musicProduction and #Mixing and it’s interesting to see how to work when the final vision and recording execution isn’t in my control.
I’m just not used to having to ask “is THIS the tone you’re after?”

#Mixing. About to add a #guitar track to an electronic music song b/c I hear it in my head. #musicproduction
🎶I hear riffs in my head so I play them🎶
Hello sports fans & welcome to a holiday weekend! #memorialday
I've sent #UE5 off to build HLODs minus the ones for the ocean. Its challenge is to finish before Tuesday.
In the meantime, I've listened to the cra... er... wonderful #music I had mixed earlier and posted, well before I had this setup and could, you know, hear.
One is begging for a lead.
Several wish the vocals were audible.
And then there are the wtf was I thinking ones we all love.
I've got the #musicproduction in me. 🎶
Another of my early releases in this new cycle of music making which I am still quite proud of. Hope you enjoy this Saturday night.

B - Miserable Parasite
Exporting stems from #Maschine+ to #LogicPro on the #iPad!
Still learning how to use Logic this way as the touch interface requires a bit of a different workflow, but it’s a fun way to work.

First beta of my > 4 tracks < "auto distribution" website is running.
Wild stuff and while working on this I noticed I need to improve my music. Its so far off from what I have in mind usually but I only recognise that long time after. During the process I´m totally in love with this stuff. Like with a ex girlfriend that you have no idea off how you got together with (that never happened :D ).

I'm about to put all this text into actual toots, for easier reading so please be patient and/or mute as needed. <3
I don't know why I didn't do it that way to begin with. But I found this image in an artist Discord discussion that someone else posted, so that's why the image is not big or high-quality, and also I don't want to take credit for someone else's words (unlike AI). 😉

Those last 9 toots were taken from the original image I posted, where the text was too small to see. Thanks for your patience. 🙏
If you've read this far, congratulations! :pensive_party_blob:
Please check out my latest single. It was created 100% by a real human person (me) based on a little piece of my soul. The artwork is also made by my talented human friends. 10/10

We cannot even say they are "dumb"--there is not "they!" The model is narrowly capable of doing one thing--derivative outputs based on the unethical, nonconsensual, inhuman processing of billions of data points, including artwork.
#AIArt #AIMusic #AI #Art #IndieArt #IndieMusic #MusicProduction #Creativity #IndiePop #ArtPop
9/
The AIs, on the other hand, process pictures completely on the pixel level, with no added layers of understanding or emotion or nuance. They ingest art in a distinctly inhuman way--can you recall every pixel of the images you are referencing? Do you have any hope of replicating their details in seconds after a mere glance? No, artists do not use source images in the same way as AI, and why would we want to?
#AIArt #AIMusic #AI #Art #MusicProduction #Creativity #IndieArt #IndieMusic #ArtPop

This malleable and subjective interpretation of images is one of the reasons that artists generally cannot replicate images exactly, and most do not want to. Generally speaking, artistic communities value originality, creativity, invention, and subversion of expectation.
#AIArt #AIMusic #AI #Art #MusicProduction #Creativity #IndieArt #IndieMusic #ArtPop
6/
A human will view the image of another artist in a thousand different ways on any given day based on their mood, focus, beliefs, and lived human experience. They will understand parts of an image differently according to recent insights. Even the most familiar pictures, ones we have known for years, will unfold new depths as we develop our skills and acumen.

Given the same prompt and seed number, you can generate the exact same image as someone else, ...you can even reverse engineer the prompt if you have the image and seed number. Their "learning," unlike yours, is frozen in a particular state and unable to evolve.
Humans are never trapped in such a state. We are always advancing our world view and filtering through lenses of emotion and mood unique to conscious beings, which an AI is not.

"AI doesn't steal art it simply combines images in the same way that humans do. If you reference artists then AI should be ablt to do it as well."
Steven's Response: This argument contains two false premises. First, doing something the way humans do is not an argument to allow the behavior, humans can learn to do all sorts of illegal or unethical things. Second, this argument creates a false equivalence between machine learning and human learning. (cont.) #AIArt #AIMusic #AI #MusicProduction

This post says it better than I can. Sorry, I can't fit all the text into the Alt Text box, so I will also try to break it up into a series of toots. Thanks for your patience, or just mute me if this is not Your Thang.

The argument that "humans also reference/train on others' art in order to make their own, AI just does it faster and more efficiently" is not accurate, since AI is NOT processing that art and filtering it through its own subjective framework (the soul as defined above) to create a new work to express that individual's particular ideas and emotions.
#AIArt #AIMusic #AIGeneratedArt #AI #MusicProduction #Music #Creativity #Musician #Art #ArtPop #IndieArt #IndieMusic

AI has no framework to know if what it's creating is GOOD, or even accurate, b/c it has no preferences regarding taste or accuracy--which are so subjective when it comes to creativity.
#AIArt #AIMusic #AIGeneratedArt #AI #MusicProduction #Music #Creativity #Musician #Art #ArtPop #IndieArt #IndieMusic
Can AI make aesthetically-pleasing shit? Of course! Based on the output of thousands of human artists over hundreds of years.
But when you ask it to make something entirely new, even based on very specific directions, or even just the random roulette of gibberish commands, it STILL has to rely on and copy human artists.
#AIArt #AIMusic #AIGeneratedArt #AI #MusicProduction #Music #Creativity #Musician #Art #ArtPop #IndieArt #IndieMusic
By "soul" I mean your mind, will, emotions, experiences, taste, and preferences--everything that makes you who you are.
Also, making good art and recognizing good art requires having good taste, and I'm not sure that's something you can teach to AI.
#AIArt #AIMusic #AIGeneratedArt #AI #MusicProduction #Music #Creativity #Musician #Art #ArtPop #IndieArt #IndieMusic
Creating art is taking a little piece of your soul and putting it into a tangible form that others can experience, which is why AI-generated art misses the point.

Oily and Lad Reflections
There's something magical about standalone devices and daws where you can plonk some music down and vibe away from a computer that I find really endearing. I love my Polyend Tracker for that reason, among other things.
If you're wondering if this is a long winded prelude to saying I'm tempted to get the new Ableton Push 3, well
MAYBE
I recently deactivated my music only account here feeling it was too redundant, so if I ever make any posts about my #musicproduction or #newmusic it will be here.
That said, I still feel a little...ashamed at my current progress and music. It feels very amateurish atm, and I hope to improve, despite how hard that is.

Very cool music making tool, #midinous
Quite orcaesque but maybe more accessible.
Lots of euclidean sounding patterns coming out of it. There are some excellent examples is the latter half of the video.
I remastered my acoustic cover of She Used to Be Mine by Sarah Bareilles. The original had too much percussive force on the strings.
I softened those transients but then, underneath, the guitar needed remixing to fill out the tone. I did that and rebalanced it with the vocal, which needed new attention to sit right in the mix.
More work than I expected after just softening those percussive guitar transients. #guitar #music #musicproduction https://on.soundcloud.com/N9BuWBx65Xjw2pJr8
1/2 With #bitwig as an alternative to fantastic #opensource apps like #ardour or #zrythm and popular technologies such as #pipewire and #wayland, #linux is already an attractive option for computer-based #musicproduction. This is also recognised by many #plugin #vendors, as you can see from the impressive collection listed at https://linuxdaw.org.
Singing takes of this song, and I can't decide if the line should be "Grab a to-go coffee," or "Grab a cup of coffee," (I've been singing both) so ofc on at least one take I get tongue-tangled and sing "Grab a fuckin' coffee" 😂
I can't brain today; I have The Dumb.

Hi friends,
I've just released my new album As You Fall by #PhonoInput. It's a mixed bag of #ProgTronica #SpaceSynth #Ambient and #CinematicMusic Feel free to take it for a spin! It'll be available on a bunch of streaming platforms in the next few days. Bandcamp gets the priority and complete track lists, because people who follow me there are actually tangibly fans and care about the people behind the music, that's YOU! 🖤 Shout out to my new followers there, I appreciate it. Thank you very much!

Most, if not all of my music releases are cheaper than a wide selection of Starbucks drinks, imagine telling Starbucks to shove it whilst supporting an independent artist! 😉👍
And, if you feel like it, maybe give this toot a boost? No pressure! Thanks! ☺️

Help me build this new generative patch in Bitwig. We start from scratch and this time, we use the sampler.

I counted and there are about 1 billion free samples from MusicRadar (SampleRadar). Did you know?
Free music samples: download loops, hits and multis from SampleRadar

Lol can't believe this worked right away. I was going to build a 3.3V -> 9V voltage shifter but looks like the Microbrute takes the 3.3V gate signal just fine.
Just for fun I also plugged the GBA to the PWM and it also works there!
Tempted to write a small program that sequences up to 4 gate signals, but feels too niche for anyone other than me haha.

#Ableton is releasing a new Push with stand-alone mode and upgradeable hardware. Looks a bit half-baked compared to e.g. Maschine+ but looks interesting. I'm not entirely convinced about the DAWless DAW concept but who knows?

Preparing the release of a new EP, which is basically one 20 minute track consisting of 7 parts.
Sigh. I can't believe it's 2023 and there is still no standard for gapless playback of audio files. 😠
The way I see it, I have 2 choices:
1) chop up the track and hope players don't introduce gaps between the parts
2) leave it one big track and force people to listen through in one sitting
I don't like either solution. 🙄 Or maybe there is something I haven't thought of?

Good article about the oncoming menace of low-quality AI Generative Music, what it means for indie artists and streaming platform users:
"Today, the world’s most powerful corporations are aggressively investing in the idea that generators are going to fundamentally change our collective relationship with media."

I've seen some musicians on here struggle recently with the "why bother" of it all ... and I hope this video can help. I am not currently having this specific problem but I have definitely had it in the past. If this is you right now, maybe this helps you go ahead and do that release (whether it be music, art, written word, etc.)

I hope i get no hate for this. I dont want to replace synths or effects, i just like to use them as inspiration for Instruments in Bitwig. Today its about OBJEKT by Reason

I really want to finish this up today, but I need to go do other things (like EAT FOOD). If you're confused and curious as to WTH is going on, just click on this post and scroll up to read the whole saga. I'm telling the backstory/inspiration behind this track.
The backstory is a mundane drama, but the song is a fantasy-tinged #ArtPop track about slowly realizing I was in a relationship with a #narcissist. Let me know what you think! #MusicProduction #NewMusic 56/
But I digress. Again. Sorry.
