Juliet Turner is an amazing Irish singer-songwriter. I co-wrote and produced her new record, now on Bandcamp. julietturner.bandcamp.com/album/home-f....

I also made a web app as an antidote to the soulless horror of Spotify: julietturner.music - a modern day liner notes experience.

Enjoy ♥️♥️♥️

Truly bonkers new (not AI) mixing tool from Tim Exile. I've been using his algorithmic music creation tool a bunch and this looks just as neato.

Mixing is a skill and it pays to learn how to do it yourself, but it can also be useful to hear how your music sounds mixed in different ways.

Finalist is a new way to mix your music with simple controls. It can be as straight forward as picking a preset, with lots of ways to tweak it as well. Also, you own it. Infinite mixes, no subscriptions, no credits.

Not AI. @timexile.com goes from helping you create bonkers ideas with Scapeshift to helping you finish them with Finalist.

"Like having The Great Gonzo as your mixing and mastering engineer." Here's our review/guide:

Tim Exile's Finalist mixes and masters creatively, colorfully - with no AI - CDM Create Digital Music

What if you could drop in a bunch of stems and let a plug-in mix and master for you, subtly or to extremes, with no "AI" involved? That's the latest idea from Tim Exile, and it's produces such quick, ...

Seems to be the mark of modern technology. It gets worse as it gets better. Is that a marker of techno feudalism? It usually gets worse once it’s identified its serfs. Maybe that’s actually what product market fit is. Lord-Serf Fit.

Tim Exile @timexile.com · 5d

It’s so funny how quickly and decisively it went this way. Not funny, cool actually.

Also I miss early genAI when it really was a broken mess of properly weirdo shit. Far too way out to claim cultural appropriation / infringement. It was something truly new.

In my most optimistic imagination this leads to a super-smooth, ring-free foreververb.

Tim Exile @timexile.com · 5d

It's an idea I've had for ages but never floated to the top of my list to build. Potential problems I imagine are uneven distributions of energy when cross-fading grains leading to unpredictable RT60 times.

Tim Exile @timexile.com · 5d

Reverb nerds - has anyone ever made a reverb with granular diffuser delays? Basically getting around the ringing problem with diffusers that change length by random amounts at regular (or irregular?) intervals.

My new resolution is to scarper from conversations I'm not into as snappily as podcasters take a break. Will probably just go and watch some adverts while I do too. Palette cleanser.

For any guys on here who’ve lost their dad, go read BT (Brian Transeau) ‘s exquisite eulogy to his recently passed dad on Insta. What an inspiration that man is.

TIL the default font in gmail 'Sans Serif' literally doesn't exist in google docs. Is this on purpose to catch out sneaky template pasters?

Tim Exile @timexile.com · 8d

This is the way. Go to the ends of the earth to make your own distribution channels. So much more magic to be made that way.

Echolox haunts your RAM @echolox.com · 8d

I'm just a drop in the bucket but I just told my distributor to remove all my music from Spotify.

If any of my 24 monthly listeners happen to read this I'm happy to send Bandcamp download codes.

Music will continue to be released on Bandcamp or my upcoming video game.

Still, I’ve seen what small positive contributions can do. I want everyone to have that feeling that comes with making an impact, no matter how small. I also want people to know what it feels like when a community has their back.

Thanks for this thread! Particularly the message about positive action. I see people who’ve been so mad for so long, it’s hard to think in terms of pushing in the opposite direction. I’ve definitely been there!
