I recently discovered this wonderful compressor by Jon Ville, and I thought I'd share. It's pay-what-you-want, including $0, so basically free, and it sounds great. Especially the look-ahead and program-dependent release really sound fantastic and super transparent. Highly recommend!

I personally feel that goes against what this community should be about but I'd like feedback, especially on wording.

I don't feel generative "ai" audio is fitting here but a eurorack/modular/generative sequencer type thing would be welcome.

Given a recent post I believe the general community agrees but I need help with wording.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Edit: not the focus, but I do think stem splitting models are fine, but I would interested in discussion about that too.

In the past when I had Windows I was making beats in FL Studio and sometimes mix in Reaper. I didn't have advanced skills but I knew how to use these tools. For right now I'm Linux Mint user and I'm looking for something open-source. I think that good choice for me will be some kind of tracker because I want to sample. What you use and can you recommend? I also need good learning resources for this tool, because as I said I'm amateur.

Hello,

Once upon a time, I was a musician. I took my classical guitar degree 10 years ago. I studied a little of music composition and experimented with computer music. But today, I don't do music anymore. Every time I try to do music, I spend the time looking for synthesizers, creating setups, and so on, and it ends I never play. So, I'm looking for some device that gives me an out-of-the-box experience with synths, effects, and loops. I would especially like to:

• loop audio input
• play with external or integrated keyboard
• apply effects
• use synth and samples
• programming the sounds and synths

Thanks!

Terry Riley's "In C" is one of the most influential pieces of music of the last century...but you'll never hear it the same way twice.

sorry for the spotify link, https://www.vox.com/unexplainable links directly to open.spotify 🤷

here is the direct link from antennaPod ☞ Media file: https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chrt.fm/track/524GE/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/VMP9080670968.mp3?updated=1759871113

Also, what happens when you use a fairly hard isolating filter cutoff as opposed to one that lets some smaller % of whatever's cutoff? Are there issues or risks associated with stuff like that and hearing?

As many of you have already noticed, I have taken my music off Spotify entirely... for the time being. The reason is their new updated terms and conditions which in short format says they can take all of our content that we put out there, and use it for any reason, purpose, altered or not... and not pay us a single dime for it! As if the tiny fraction of a pittance they already are paying us for streams wasn't enough (or little depending on how you look at it). As Josh Raines and Krystle Delgado so eloquently explains it (clips in this video), it is a total disaster for the creators. So therefore I took a long weighted choice to remove my music from Spotify for now - if they change the conditions, I may of course put it back up again.

Likewise with AI contend - which is something I just cannot abide. AI is fine for long boring Teams meeting summaries and help with programming, searching etc, but when it's taking over and flooding the domain of us hard working musicians and graphical artists among others, it's simply not acceptable! I create all my work by hand – brick by brick, note for note – always! There are no shortcuts here, everything is played manually and recorded painstakingly, just as with all the helpers I have doing guitars, sax, vocals and other instruments.

The only tiny AI help I use, is when I sometimes want to do a remix or a cover of a great song and have to separate the vocals or other instruments so I can do my own backing tracks. And for that I use lalal.ai since I don't have access to the original recordings and probably never will anyway. That, and the starting point when I do mastering after mixdown using Izotope's Ozone plugin, but I always end up dialing all those parameters way down and change just about everything anyway.

So on all my channels you will now see the logo I created, showing that this is an AI-free zone and that you can truly rely on the fact that you are listening to someone's hard work and that your money actually goes to someone who hopefully deserves those little pennies.

For those wanting to brand their own work, feel free to copy and use the logos if you feel like it:

I super badly want to have an extended version of it that has that creaking entirely removed but all the other sound relatively intact.

I want to low pass filter out above a certain range and export that recording into an mp4 that literally doesnt have that part's information available rather than simply being calculated against but still present and audible if you remove the filter

Hard to describe but you know how people used to be advised to redact documents in their word processors and all it did was overlay black so it couldnt be read but the text was still there and machine-readable. I edit:DONTwant to do that. I suppose you would have to actually print or take a screenshot of picture of that document to actually practically "remove" the black text that lays beneath the black redaction bars

It could probably technically be done by taking that exported filtered original and screenrecording the playback and then it just records what is audible because the unwanted part is actually audially nowhere and theres no digital data of it preserved in the sound that gets recorded just like what a human would hear

Edit/ when I last tried it, i filtered out above a certain range (probably like > 500-750 hz somewhere like that) and when I exported it out of the app and imported into a new app and reduced the pitch a bunch, I swear I could hear the part I filtered out but it was just lower so it became audible again. It was as if oncethe pitch was reduced, it couldnt still be filtered out

Yes, it is a commercial and I am not sorry

Where can i hear stuff like that elsewhere and probably longer form?

I feel like it uses one of those parametric eq curves or at least one that curves down the treble quite a bit perhaps

Its funny cuz its making me think of when the spell was cast, it comes out of the wand in a similar even, parametric output

Tonverk 1.0.1 is now available to download. This update delivers a number of improvements and fixes.

We’re also nearly there with the next OS, which will address the MIDI timing jitter (causing sync issues) and Auto Sampler latency, alongside further refinements. We’re aiming to release this in October.

After squashing these initial bugs, we look forward to sharing some of the exciting new things that Tonverk has up its sleeve. So stay tuned!

Thought I'd share this here in case anyone else could use the help too.

This is the first mastered track on my album releasing later this year. Let me know your thoughts!
