So, what are you using? I’ve been using zeus, but my channel got closed and I need a back up until it opens back up because I’m using my friends node. I haven’t been able to zap for a few days, so thanks for that information. I won’t be going to Phoenix for now.

In some ways you already have some of this built-in DAWs. So it's just a step away (and nothing really shocking).

What would be helpful tool, based on resynthesys? "Create new tracks from this voice track, one of them just a double of the original and the rest in 3 part harmony". "Ok nice, now let me automate where the voices should be in narrow harmony and where more spread out".

You can do this today with copying the track and tuning it to a different notes, and it works somewhat ok if youk know what you're doing. But the resynthesys would make it more natural sounding.

On the same note, once you can train a voice model on a specific voice (already available for some time), you could have a wave editor that transcribes the audio (already available - isotope rx does this very badly) and you could easily edit what's being said. I'm pretty sure this exists in several prototypes.

Very useful for podcasters even for film industry (the visual version of it already exists). And also of course very scary.

it does seem like pheonix is the best of the bunch, and im certainly leaning that way especially if you say you havent had any channels close.

Prediction

We are going to reach more than 1 million pending transactions, what is happening will mark a before and after.

A few of us said it months ago, watch out with ordinals, the pandora's box has been uncovered, at the time I said that we had to wait 3 months to see what happened, it has been 5 months, and here you have it.

Many say that the mempool is fine, free market, protection against spam and blah blah blah, I say it is an attack on bitcoin to make it unusable for ordinary people.

Mmmh, I do not think a paid app is a good solution here. I could imagine some apps or relays would have in it ads (of course nobody wants them).

Or they just rely on earning enough on running a paid relay 🤔

This is not really clear to me.

I'm looking forward new AI based tools for sound and music production. The fun quirky ones and also the professional powerful time/grind savers. Not seeing anything all that great at this point though.

The restoration and cleanup tools are the obvious targets. As the noise reduction and re-synthesys are what the all latest AI development is based on. So maybe the next Izotope RX will be really a step forward and not just a meh improvement unless you need some niche thing the added.

What exites me is the possibilities in automatic sample instruments creation. You could play every key of the piano in all expressions you like. Hours of material, a lot of details, a lot of mistakes, some noise etc. Nowadays, that means a ton of postproduction time even when you use templates. AI could just grind through all this, assign everything to the right keys and velocities, expressions... in a matter of minutes. And then make changes if needed.

It doesn't have to stop there. The missing notes could be resynthetized, portamentos generated (for violins for example).

And the next stage could be if you just feed it any record, even with more than one instrument and you'd just ask it to create the instruments out of it.

This could allow for some new AI powered samplers that would use much more complex structures than it would be practical to use if human needs to provide the content for it.

In the end this has the possibility to give the music creators and sound pros much more fun productivity and less of dumb grind time.

nice! that´s not too bad at all! lovely pocket money for a free coffee or so..

Was listening to #[1]​ and #[2]​ talk about highlighter, and that inspired me to design an interface to view highlights by favorited users and by individual users. Rough version at the moment (just brainstorming), may change a lot.

Haha, there are many ways to justify the need for a purchase of anything 😅 But as for the substance of the matter, listening to music, as an experience and trip to another dimension, requires concentration unless you want to degrade the music to just some "background noise". It's not enough to just hear, you need to listen. Focused listening to music is definitely a ritual and vinyl is certainly a good medium for this. Physical appearance of the album and its cover, in general, gives it another context that I like. After all, music is also a physical matter, a sound, vibration. Consuming music as a supplementary “consumer product” is a waste of time. And as for the vinyl specifically, I had to give up the vinyl at the moment, because of another small baby on board, little destroyer of things at home 🤦‍♂️
