i have once again gotten myself into a corner wrt to music where i know too much, but practice too little. dangerous territory.

@hankgreen.bsky.social Hank, are you familiar with the "internet of bugs" critiques of your coverage of AI on your channel and on SciShow? I feel like you might benefit from seeing it. He makes a compelling case that you have been susceptible to AI industry propaganda a little bit lately.

I don't love LLMs but I don't like the framing of LLMs as "word predictor machines." it's not un-true, but it's not unlike saying "computers are just 1s and 0s" as if that gives you any insight into computers. it's a thought that makes you understand the risks and problems with LLMs even less

i am once again tormented by the question of whether what i want to make is "art" or "journalism"

the uncritical, spineless and mindless enthusiasm for the most depraved and harmful behavior websites like linkedin are cultivating will no doubt be the downfall of many a "visionary", that really just needed someone to tell them to go fuck themselves to get them back on a better path.

its kind of impossible to be honest about your reaction to things without coming across as a massive asshole in the age of slop. getting across to people why distributing vibecoded free open source audio plugins is bad in the long run is really, really difficult.

for sure! I still prefer keeping things performative though even if you're not literally performing. export breaks that flow. but depends what you're after. I was thinking more in comparison to what we had then. this was essentially anukari in a nutshell a decade ago :) youtu.be/Nn37fKmUsBQ?...

the t1k_ultraphaser is a spectral phaser and then some with a dumb name, designed to make dumb bass sounds even dumber. get extra dumb today with my bitwig 1 knob fx racks: tildesounds.gumroad.com/l/t1k #bitwig

thats just davinci resolve

Our Sonic Landscape is the first game audio conference I'm organizing (along with Rachel and Em) in Vancouver. is this VanCity's first game audio con? possibly! lots of my #gameaudio community out there in the city that I know don't have tickets yet. hope I see you there. www.oursoniclandscape.com

It's been requested that i break down a recent patch, here it is for members/patrons. Potential buzzwords include "ultracomb" "gigaphaser" "cybercomb" "quantum flanger" or "turbo-reese". It also involves some spectral (tm) processing of course: youtu.be/1QngKMXWMSM www.patreon.com/posts/ultrac...

theres really no point in tweeting about "attacking iran"= "bad" to you because im preaching to the choir here, but man i hope that message will also get through to some people to whom that wasnt obvious already

ive not been watching much venus theory lately but this video got my attention ngl www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaY2...

t1k_transient sharpen tightens up your drums using an overengineered mix of time and frequency domain processing. its a bit like a transient shaper, just moreso. get it here: tildesounds.gumroad.com/l/t1k #bitwig

still not convinced deadmau5 and au5 arent the same guy tbh

there should me more electronic arrangements of jazz standards tbh

quite possibly the most batshit insane drop i have ever made so far

what if the comb was ultra but also spectral????

more evil ultracomb synthesis experiments

gonna stream for a bit www.twitch.tv/tildesounds www.youtube.com/@TildeSounds

of course the music theory feed is filling up with astrology crap. i shouldve seen this coming.

im making a second attempt at assembling a music theory feed: bsky.app/profile/tild...

i feel like the major second should be renamed to "perfect second" the minor second can stay minor tho

im gonna try making a mixtape of various old songs that aren't really up to par with my current sound design/mixing standards but are still worthwhile songs. my incompetence as a producer is really not their fault so i want to treat them with some respect

it feels like it hasnt properly rained in years

if you really think about it writing about music is a lot more like writing about architecture than like dancing about architecture. and then if you think even harder you will come to realize that to learn architecture, you will be made to read quite a lot.

t1k_spectral chaos is a rack for adding spectral chaos to any sound really. you have ears, you know what i mean. if you want to mess things up in a spectral way, this does that: tildesounds.gumroad.com/l/t1k #bitwig

t1k_phat is an overengineered rack for making things loud, using a curated mix of multiband & broadband dynamics, filtering, saturation, limiting & phase dispersion. use with care. if you crank the knob all the way itll probably be too much. make bass go loud. tildesounds.gumroad.com/l/t1k #bitwig

A thread of all the free stuff i shared on gumroad:

i really resent the microphone, all sound should originate inside of the computer where i can shape it as i please

you should come to this i will be attending this because its weirdly close to where i live
