Those are rookie numbers. Install Linux and pump those numbers up.

Beethoven would have loved DAWs and synthesizers. He would have vomited at the thought of a machine plying HIS trade autonomously.

With all of the tools you described the entire creative process is still done by a human musician. Sequencers have to be programmed. VSTs are just instruments and they DAWs have simply replaced expensive studio equipment so poors like me can produce a decent sounding track.

I don’t want to see generated images or AI coded video games either.

Fuck the music industry, but fuck AI made music even more. The goddamn robot is supposed to take my factory job and leave me with the time to write songs not the other way around

The fact is, with the world we live in being like it is, why the fuck not smoke? For the chance to live a little further into the distopian hellscape of our impending future? Some reward that is for denying myself something I enjoy.

I’ll give him a listen. I enjoy hearing different points of view.

They are usually pretty pro-personal security though. I like cash. Nothing more anonymous than that.

That’s an interesting take. Strikes me as a bit nihilistic, but I’m sure this is the most surface of explanations lacking the depth of concept to really get the idea across. I can’t say it jives with me, but I have heard less reasonable notions.

Your downvotes are uncharacteristic of the usual vibe on Lemmy. Google maps and your bank must have made accounts.

I’d be surprised if the Tesla would even let you run on 10 psi. I bet it’d throw an error message and brick the accelerator.

How does one not believe in free will? Asking seriously.

Damn

I like Mint so far after about 2 months. Ubuntu was seriously lacking.

Interesting. I can imagine this crowd making a big deal of it. The biggest hurdle for many of us to switch is the user base we have to turn to for help. There’s a lot of dissenting opinions and gatekeeping to muddle through. I’m liking Mint so far though. Thank you for the straightforward answer.

Noob here. What do you mean Linux isn’t the OS?

I know jack and shit about Linux, but my laptop running Mint has happily taken every computer job, except for recording music, from my win10 desktop. I have opened the terminal exactly 0 times. There’s a flatpack for everything I have desired so far. oS geekness is not needed to run Linux. As I get used to the available music software I will have no further need of ms windows.

Tag it with care. Tag it with Krylon.

Retail therapy

So as someone who tried Ubuntu first because it seemed like the easiest place to start, don’t. First off, I never could get Ardour to run right on it. Try Linux Mint. I switched this weekend and everything seems to work better and there appears to be a lot more available software when you aren’t stuck with Snaps.

They might change your meaning for the word pony in a way you aren’t prepared for.
