Yes, Brandi has got a lovely vibrato!

Yeah the sibilance is right. I believe it has to do with the large coil which sound has to move when using a dynamic.

Yeah that would work well if I were precise enough to know when to automate the click in and out. If I'm playing free-tempo, I won't really know when that click should begin.

I've never tried this! That sounds like pure vibes.

I'd imagine nostalgia is a big factor.

But otherwise, low-pass-filtered stuff generally sounds less exciting. You can read about pink noise and Brownian noise, for example, which more closely resemble natural phenomena like wind or rain from inside a shelter. Pink noise is white noise which decreases 3dB in volume each octave; Brownian noise, -6dB/oct. It were as if you put such a low-pass filter on white noise. So music that shares a similar frequency profile is relaxing.

Reverb can be used for lots of purposes. As you say, it simulates reverberations a physical space.

Short, natural-sounding reverb can be used to blend tracks together. If two instruments need to sound like they were recorded in the same room, do it virtually.

As others have written, longer, natural reverbs can create a perception of size. You can make a vocalist sound like sang in a concert hall or a church or a bar.

Sometimes reverb may be used to impart tone, evoke a vintage. A spring reverb has different cultural associations than a Lexicon. Some reverbs' modal resonances highlight certain frequencies.

Long reverbs can be used to increase sustain of an instrument. Every ambient guitarist in the world is familiar with this.

What reverb means in a piece is for the artist and listener to interpret.

Are you talking about something like Soothe or SplitEQ? There are certain spectral effects that can remove the tonal characteristics from a sound, leaving only the nontonal aspects. E.g. on a piano, you'd only hear the unpitched, percussive hammer and key sounds.

Here's a FOSS alternative for Soothe. https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2024/03/03/nih-plug-spectral-compressor/

The better way to thwart republicans: take away their memes.

Who is the artist behind this work?

Suno CEO doesn't even know what tuning an 808 means.

I hear people are doing such dishonest things as flooding the ICE Tip Form with false leads.

The fools. Hope they've got a VPN, or whatever it is they need to stay anonymous and untraceable.

Based on my experience, there shouldn't be any difference between distributing a long song vs. a short one. You may not have come across them in the wild because algorithms, like radio, tend to favor 3-4 min songs.

Pretty neat IMO (though I'm not a Bitwig user). They really seem to be upping the ante as an Ableton alternative.

Stuff like this makes me think this may one day become classic, historical gear.

Still amazes me to this day that they were able to render such a faraway horse in 128-bit...

I think there was a ROM hack that solved this floating-point error. If I can find it, will post link.

I appreciate it. I always thought Deezer was just a streaming platform like Spotify.

Also, dang, surprised so many downvotes for my original comment lol.

I work part time as an audio producer. Converting MP3 to FLAC is like trying to upscale an image: you can use all the fancy algos to repair loss, but it's still lossy.

This doesn't sound like what I'm asking for. I'm not interested in paying Deezer for music I already own.

Alright, I can see you'd rather not have a conversation. Peace.

Hey no need to downvote, just trying to have a conversation, not a fight.

I'm telling you they don't have the same stances: one is leftist, the other is far-right. One is anti-fascist, the other is willing to partner with neo-fascists so long as it benefits their self-interest (case in point, Jan 6 insurrection).

Anarchists, like communists, want society to evolve beyond statism because they both see the state as fatally flawed at best and an oppressor at worst. An anarchist is someone who doesn't need a cop to make them do the right thing. It's not so much that anarchism is for deregulation and weak government as it for a society where all power is with all the people. In practice, instead of relying hierarchies, such as government as we know it, anarchists use politics like consensus decision-making to form community agreements. Anarchism, in this way, is a development of direct democracy.

Perhaps your judgment against anarchism has to do with encounters with anarcho-egoism and anarcho-capitalism? These two ideologies are incompatible with classical anarchism, which is based on mutual aid. Or maybe you've encountered anarcho-primitivism, which I'd agree is perhaps as conservative as it gets lol.

In the interest of vulnerability, I mostly align with anarcho-syndicalism or anarcho-socialism with some hints of post-anarchism to form my theory and practice for how to develop a mutual society that doesn't require the state.

Have a nice day!

Anarchists are not libertarians, at least not insofar as Americans understand libertarianism. The so-called Libertarian US party is right-libertarian. Anarchists are left-libertarian. Little-L libertarianism in this case refers to the opposite of authoritarianism.

But not all punks are anarchists anyway.

Neoliberalism however is an economic policy based on the renewal of classical liberalism and free market capitalism. It is a conservative ideology, shared by many Republicans and Democrats alike. Republicanism is based on classical liberalism.
