Yes, but a bit too humorous. I like DM2 because the focus is on Lau Ka Yeung/Jackie Chan's directing briliantness and the fights hit harder

I forgot to mention the English voice dubbing 😆

Lost Music Generator From the 90s

Microsoft Music Producer which was hidden with Microsoft Visual InterDev 1997
She tries to make a Synth pop song which actually didn't come out too bad

If you mix your own instruments sounds loud enough in the music, you no longer hear the sounds that the music generator has produced. Well done though. Still sounds outdated. 😋

We're going to need a blue checkmark or something to indicate which artists and creations are real. As it is I am rapidly losing interest in discovering "new" music or art or even shoops because they are likely to be fake and stolen.

At least Youtube is cracking down. No more monetization on Ai slop.
However as Rick stated, time will tell with Spotify as they seem to be
using Ai as well to create music to fill playlists.

Good thing I don't use Spotify.

[boredjedi]

Same. Never have.

It's a crappy software anyways. Doesn't look nice, you get more ads then you do music, and songs can get removed for no reason at times (cough cough LITERALLY EVERY LAZYTOWN SONG THAT USED TO BE ON THE PLATFORM)

Went to CEX and donated some XBOX 360 games and Blurays I don't want. Made $22. Not bad! What really grinds my gears is that I would've made more if they accepted DVDs. Apparently they don't take DVDs anymore. But cashconverters do..

so I bought LittleBigPlanet for PS3 (I've been very excited to play this game) and Oreos.

on Monday I will go to cashconverters and make up for missed money

Pretty good video describing the behind scenes of recording bands

I found this part quite interesting at 42:39 - 44:19
Talks about singers and the microphone. Particularly females singers.
He talks about Linda Ronstadt (43:09) and Emmylou Harris. How there aren't
any mics than can pick up their full sound.

Microphones have a lot of limitations. With all the technique they haven't found a way to imitate the the membrane of the middle ear, which vibrates in response to sound waves (tympanic membrane) including the construction behind it.

This is what Glyn Johns looked like back in the Beatle days

4:20 and 4:40. There's other snippets of him in the video.

Who?

[boredjedi]

A guy and people like him who craft the sound of the songs we all love but don't get the credit they deserve.

He knows a lot of the old recording technique, he should write a book. If anyone cares.

Funny you should say that. He did write a book. Rick Beato brought it up in that interview.
