Broadly speaking this is going in the right direction. But, this should absolutely be "opt-in" only! It sends a huge signal to third parties that they can effectively do anything they want with your work, because you didn't say no, and then get away with it. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Hello 😎 Stay tuned for some news in the next days. #uheplugins #staytuned #bluesky

I understand the stance from many to say "no AI at all" but I don't believe that's practical or achievable. This seems to be a good start and a pathway forward, I encourage you to read it. If you don't agree let's talk, this is a complex topic, I'm open to ideas and willing to change my mind.

I don't know what Jeremy calls his series of VCV patches that he posts pretty much every day, but I call them bangers :)

Does anybody want to make a #vcvrack patch with me? I have done this several times in the past with people. Usually we just go back and forth adding things like voices or fx and changing the patch until we think its done.

"Ensure every child and young person across the UK has access to free music making." Couldn't agree more, it's so much more than just the next generation of "The Industry", it's about giving kids the freedom to express themselves, to learn to be comfortable with who they are and a rounded education

Bitwig 5.3 announced, has a feature called "master record". I need to check it out to see exactly how it works, but from the description it feels like it could have been a really good retrospective recording tool, but isn't, and I'm not sure what use it is. Any ideas? www.bitwig.com/whats-new/

Suddenly this place is poppin, that’s great to see.
