Music about which one could justifiably say, "That's not music." Saxophone (tortured). Cornputer (despised). I read a lot and walk around cities.

There's a lot of ChatGPT in the ensuing thread. It's like there's no other way to access thought

I mean, it would be so cool to be amazed that you can type some words and get something that reminds you of recorded music in a very short period of time. It's surprising and weird! But then context steps in.

It's also kinda funny that the app inserts "neon lights" and "whispers" into lyrics so often that platforms are flagging songs with those words in them.

This probably reads as dinosaur talk to the converts, but, as I've said elsewhere about all these kinds of things, playing an instrument in a group is, at minimum, fun. Fussing with prompts at a black box that would happily burn Jupiter for a country song is, at maximum, sad.

Right now, a bunch of people are paying Suno for the privilege of training and beta testing it until it either dies or goes fully "enterprise" pricing.

It's possible that this all fizzles out once people have made 6000 songs that no one wants to listen to. And at some point, the cost to use it this way will be staggering. Probably some piece of this gets folded into a tool that sees general adoption in a more traditional workflow.

That one is definitely a meh then huh kinda read. Gravity's Rainbow is more of a holy shit / fuck off kinda read. Mason & Dixon is a this guy's good / I'm tired kinda read. Inherent Vice is a not another sucky one / actually I like it kinda read. Etc.

There was a will, there is now a way.

* If you use git and have conflicts with presets, move your personal presets to the presets/user folder, which is ignored by git.

Git users can update by pulling the latest changes*. Non-git users can just download the code again. No need to redo any init / plugin installation. Just make sure not to overwrite any presets you have stored.

And, uh, remember that donations are REALLY appreciated!!! 🤑🤑🤑

E1 k in the mod pod is now bipolar (this was a bug - it was always supposed to be bipolar). If you have any presets that use this (again, just in the mod pod), then you may want to tweak the levels a little bit.
