    How much raw humanity does your music need?

    But it IS about the technology and that's why I said this: Now that technology is essentially powerful enough to longer be an obstacle to creativity the artist can choose just about any path.

    A Different Perspective on Narcissists?

    Having a positive self-image is healthy. NPD is a distorted sense of self and can be malignant when combined with sociopathic tendencies that prevent a person of having empathy for others.

    How much raw humanity does your music need?

    I use at least a gallon of humanity per song. 🪣 I don't miss the days of tape punch-ins, drummers that speed up, singers off pitch, or tape flutter and hiss. I also don't miss drum machines with 3 levels of dynamics, abuse of overquantized midi to the point that sequencers touted 'humanize...

    Do some lyrics just sound good separately from their meaning?

    I think we're on the same page. That's why I said this: "I'm a believer in creative license and often that's needed to cross the finish line."

    Do some lyrics just sound good separately from their meaning?

    I appreciate trying to conform to established structure and norms. But... I'm a believer in creative license and often that's needed to cross the finish line. Know the rules so you know when to break them. For example: "Collins was playing around with a drum machine, and the lyric...

    Request for a New Forum: Virtual Vocalists

    I had asked about VI singers here and was referred to a thread on VI-C. But I think it's just as appropriate on this forum. I bought Synth V Pro 2 and a couple of voice packs to use for temp (or not?) tracks for my songwriting. I see there a few new voice packs out and others got some...

    Anyone concerned about getting ripped-off by AI companies?

    I think the idea that both 'parties can agree regulating AI' is negated by the current agenda of those in power, and it's not just the politicians. Who benefits from lack of regulations, and who do they want doing their bidding? While the tech bros and other oligarchs drain every dollar out of...

    When is a song ready to record?

    That's exactly my thinking too. If the studio is free you get to gain experience in a recording studio without the pressure of watching the money-clock. Because I do my recording alone and at home it's super easy to hit the record button and I find it's valuable to listen and refine projects...
