Well, this experiment of posting a blog entry nearly every day for the past two months has been fairly satisfying. I just posted my 60th blog entry. Towards the end of these posts (and maybe even a little earlier than that), I definitely found myself "going through the motions&
Today, I decided to check out Moises AI Studio to see what all of the fuss has been about. There's definitely something here. It seems they want to be at the forefront of AI music generation, AI mixing & mastering, AI voice generation and replacement, AI lyric writing,

Lossless audio is rolling out to Spotify Premium users. Apparently they are using the FLAC lossless audio format instead of developing their own audio codec. The bit depth and sampling rates are 24-bit and 44.1 kHz, respectively. Why on earth didn't they release this feature before? From
Seemingly out of nowhere, Elektron has released Tonverk, a "polyphonic multisampler and audio processor." What a beauty! This will undoubtedly be a classic. More details can be found on Elektron's Tonverk page. Tonverk | Versatile Polyphonic Multisampler & Audio Processor | ElektronThis is Tonverk, a versatile polyphonic multisampler
Excellent visual programming environment in the browser. It’s most similar to MSP and Pure Data. NoiseCraftNoiseCraft is an open source, visual programming language and platform for sound synthesis and music making, with the goal of creating a community for the open exchange of musical ideas. The design is loosely
I came across this pretty unbelievable (yet insightful) post on X today. It noted how poorly LLMs can tell time on analog clocks. If it turned out to be true that LLMs are this bad at simply telling the time, then surely our predictions of fast-approaching AGI might be a
On the topic of fungi/mushrooms, this is wild!
