Incredible interview...if you need to be reminded that convenience isn't all it's cracked up to be, this one's for you!
“…the answer to so many of the issues that are raised isn’t just switching to a new streaming app. The point is to encourage people to be more active participants in local music communities and DIY cultural production, and to support independent music media, buy music directly from artists, and […]

Our New Hampshire state house has been taken over by a calculating group called the "Free Staters," who are MAGA-style libertarians who moved here in droves to gain elected office and tear down our government.

Here's the latest: apparently, the chairperson of our state Education Committee is […]

"I don't recall signing up for emails" is such a load of crap answer in the "why are you unsubscribing" questionnaire.

I don't recall it because it didn't happen, jackhole.

Holy schneikies (sp.?), it 👆 worked! If I record an instrument w/ no click, let Melodyne create a tempo map, and then use that tempo map to drive my drum machines and synths, shit sounds ALIVE!

So in the video below, the tempo changes are created by […]

It’s time I crank up the search for new work to 11, because wow I really need it.

Bottom line: you bring me aboard your web publishing or software team because there are many fires vying for your attention and I figure out which ones to put out first.

#linuxaudio question:

I want to create a tempo map for an entire song that's based on audio. Example: I play an entire arrangement, start to finish, on the guitar. The software/DAW then creates a full tempo map that's based on the actual onsets detected, and includes speed-ups, slow-downs, etc […]

I don't know how I knew IMMEDIATELY what this acronym stands for, b/c I've never seen it before, but I did.

Do you know what it means? CW your comment in case multiple people want to participate.

I'm in the middle of recording this big-ass synth album, and all I want to do is play guitar.

Can anyone tell me WTF is wrong with me? :picardfacepalm:

I can't help myself sometimes and do sometimes talk about politics on the Fedi. But I respect this viewpoint immensely, always us the #uspol hashtag when it's remotely relevant, and never change the spelling of anyone's name. Seems […]

I'm re-reading The Confederacy of Dunces at the moment. It just hit me that Trump is a weirdly similar character to Ignatius J. Reilly. The middle initial is the least of it.

If you know, you know. And you'll never un-hear it.

This speech by economist Jeffrey Sachs to the UN Security Council today seems really important. I wish this was what major news organizations were covering instead of the Maduro trial.
