So last week @darya5711.bsky.social and I built this new thing to replace what OJ and then Bitfellas used to provide:
news.scene.org
Thinking about creating a Bluesky / Mastodon feeds for it as well, but not 100% sure they're really necessary.

Uhm—hell no!
As an em dash devotee, the fact that its use is now seen as a fingerprint of LLM-generated text bothers me to no end.
The em dash is the most human of punctuation marks. So why do so many think its presence in a sentence means it was written by ChatGPT?

I started deleting the folder. On a spinning HDD. 3 hours ago. Using Linux.

DAW software rant:
Got a new PC, have to migrate my software licenses. Would love to keep a backup image of the old one. For loading projects in a VM. Here's what prevents me from being professional about it:
Hardware bound registration schemes like iLok, UA etc.

Overlooked #AcidHouse tracks, #90s edition. The 1st one's an easy choice for me.
It was my go-to test pattern during the development of @audiorealism.bsky.social Bass Line. For hopefully obvious reasons.
Resonate in peace, Armando <3

Thread: Tracks and versions that deserve more plays. #80s #Acid #House edition. Possibly overlooked. Potentially under appreciated. Maybe ignored cause a more popular (cough worse) version stole the show. Or just the flipside of a hit.

People ask me where they can buy the track below. I'm at odds about that. Because, as a whole, it's a work about the passage of time. And feel like removing the visuals would compromise the integrity of the experience.
What are your thoughts about that?

Desperately looking for a review/er who understands the originals. Who compares individual outs vs sum. The drive. The wacky timing. If 909 snare and clap flange, cause they share the same noise source...
What the facepalm.
