  1. Maybe, I just don't see the slam dunk path to that from where we are. Technology at the turn of the century didn't really hurt the labels. The net effect of Napster was Spotify, and the labels still have a very comfortable seat at the table in the streaming era.
  2. I don't understand your last sentence. I don't see how AI will do anything to labels and streaming platforms. They simply own the marketing and distribution channels and get paid regardless of how songs are produced for consumption. It's the people that make a living in how songs are produced for consumption (like the dude in the video) that will be having their slice of the pie taken away. But I guess in a very Thanos-esque worldview (which seems to be prevalent among AI proponents) you could view any labor as an inefficient way to conduct a market. That type of worldview is what birthed words like "Bourgeoisie" and "Proletariat".
  3. Berkeley educated music professional demos Sumo Studio and admits he cannot compete with it in terms of time or value, laments the loss of value in skills attained over a lifetime. Sucks to be him, I guess.
  4. The most important commodity is a following. Fuck the meek, its the influencers that shall inherit the earth.
  5. UBI is so fucking hand wavy. We have an answer to all your concerns, society: <obi-wan>Universal Basic Income</obi-wan>. I want to know: How are you going to get buy in from everyone who thinks communism and socialism are the root of all evil? How would this work in practice and be anything other than trickle down economics 2.0? Are people going to be happy with basic income needs being met but no fucking life's purpose provided by a career calling?
  6. Rep for Cletus in Possum Dick.
  7. So where is the ankle snuff film?
  8. Well now it’s justifiable homicide.
  9. When I die, I want my friends and family to bury me at sea in an armada of these fucking things.
  10. Ignore him? Motherfucker, you just put out the bat signal for a whole legion of Surly degenerates. Even the day after that wild, wacky game, I’ll take a gram and a shot, por favor.
  11. I think Sark has prolapsed.
  12. New baritone today. Very cool vibe, superb sounds, but it’s gonna need a good setup after I get home.
  13. Michael Taaffe:: We friggin’ won, so let’s put a smile on our face. We’re dancing… Arch:
  14. Dude, Arch and the OL were neck and neck in a homeless vagrant dick sucking contest tonight but the OL managed to get a couple more money shots to their faces to pull out the victory. #winning
  15. I do, we don’t win without that defense and they had to play the equivalent of 2 games tonight.
  16. You mother fucker
  17. Stop them here and put Collin Simmons in at QB.
  18. No offense, but I kinda wish you were Olivia Dean up in here.
  19. So I got a chance to mess with it a bit in what is a typical live scenario for me: Boss RC-10R looper to loop the harmony/backing track elements and provide drums/rhythm Looped rhythm guitar using a Tonex one in lieu of an amp Looped guitar detuned an octave to serve as bass Lead guitar using a Tonex one + pedals Vocals with a Shure SM57 It objectively sounds very good. Exceptional if you consider the price. I was impressed with the clarity/articulation that lets you hear all of those different elements well as a mix. I already owned a Roland Cube Street EX that is more than twice the price, and this sounds light years better. Listening to them side by side, the Roland sounds like the cheap Chinese piece of shit. What it lacks is bottom end, which you just aren't going to get with 8" speakers. Its fine for the scope of gigging I'd do with this, but if you are wanting people to feel the bass thumping, this isn't the right gear. It does have a line out, so I am going to see how that sounds with my PA's subwoofer. Anyway, I think this little thing is a killer small gig rig that would work well for a singer/songwriter type, vocalist/accompaniment duo or one man band type thing like I tend to do. Or if you just want a small thing to render modelled guitar amp sounds. It probably has enough preamp for an acoustic guitar, but if you want to play electric, you are going to want something like the Tonex to provide amp/cab sounds through this. Attaching a clip so you can hear what this sounds like with all those elements going through it. This was just recorded using an iphone, so, if it sucks, that's why. cm-bp60d.m4a Edit: Build quality seems solid, but no idea how it holds up to being lugged around and bumped. They cut corners somewhere in this thing, but its not in the sound/features.
  20. Its hard to have faith in the faithless. And I am not talking about spirituality or religion here, I'm talking about a party devoid of any leadership that instills confidence or hope let alone a passion to act. Whatever you think of MAGA, its given people something to believe in and to be a part of, and that is seductive even if completely misguided. A couple democratic politicians have a pulse, but the party as a whole? They are the hollow men, the stuffed men, crouched together, headpieces filled with straw...
