Beat DAT
YouTube video by Calvo Bianco

Out of all the tracks I made this was the hardest.
To get everything to fit rythmically/sonically, and to form a story (with sub stories!) took around 100 samples and to get to that number I had to audition roughly 3000 (!).

Track is coming along slowly, but surely. Laid out all the key changes and chord progressions. Put notes in many of them. :)
It's likely going to be a bit longer than Beat DAT. Which means the number of samples will be a bit higher than the 90 or so I did for Beat DAT.

Does anyone know what the source of the dialogue sample is at the beginning of "Bang On!" by Propellerheads? It sounds like it must be from a movie or TV, starting with "Banks and banks of humming machinery…"

There's a decent Theremin-like sound in the #Roland sound library called 'Theremax'. Has a bit of a weird volume envelope when chaining notes (which you would almost always do with a patch like this), but that's easily addressed.

Sundays from 19.30 GMT I'll be going live on Twitch.
It'll mostly be making ideas from scratch, rehearsing, jamming out with the ability to be able to chat and ask questions about my process etc.
So if you're around this Sunday, come say hi ☺️

It’s that time of the year when I wonder what time even is. 😜😂
a woman in a fur coat is asking what year is this ?
Alt: Agent Cooper after spending decades outside of time, and who altered the timeline to save Laura Palmer asking: what year is this? Like that even makes sense now.

Some folks say not to revisit old material, but the thing is: you learn and improve a lot over time.
It's fine to go back and brush up old stuff. Typically not that hard/big of an effort if your project/files are at least structured well.

One of the reasons I keep saying devs need ethics classes is because devs choose to make their software/docs accessible *to AI* before making it accessible for humans.
The same devs who absolutely rushed to optimize their processes for working with AI, but never bothered to do the same for humans.
The same devs who absolutely rushed to optimize their processes for working with AI, but never bothered to do the same for humans.
Similarly, I have noticed that AI gen code is rarely accessible. Why? A few reasons
The user needs request accessible code in the prompt for the LLM to usually consider it.
AND even if they do this, the LLM often either gets it wrong or is extremely verbose

Think about refactoring.
Refactoring code is taking code, and changing *only* how it pieces together. It does the same thing, but it now does it with such as more reuseable parts, less hardcoding, etc.
It does the same thing as before, but it is now more maintainable. Easier to modify later.

Taking it a bit slow since it's holiday/vacation time, but I've gathered quite a few useful samples, both from my sample CD library as well as classic radio plays. :)
Musically speaking, I'll go with a dual themed/motif based approach, since it's sort of like a soundtrack/film score.

One of the traits of ADHD is that I can hear time differences in something that's perfectly timed.
I was puzzled by this at first, but once I knew my brain hits the delete button at random, it makes a lot of sense.
