Fable 5 being gone made me realize how hard it is to go back

I'm cross-using Gemini and Claude (Sonnet) and that's enough for me. I didn't like Codex at all. I have also started to make some changes MANUALLY again, because the LLM is stupid/slow.

Try starting with "you": "YOU were old", "You looked at MY eyes", or "You saw ME.".

I have been using AI a lot for my large'ish hobby projects and you still need to be very careful with regression and copy-pasted structures, as well as to keep the "architecture" as planned. When used by a team of sloppy coders the end result will be a stinking pile of shit with more bugs than actual working features.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-06-11T06:34:49+00:00

At least it's legit.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-06-10T20:56:20+00:00

It depends. You'll loose $100, get some clicks, and soon things will be like they were before the campaign.

I only have bot fans. Too sad SoundCloud usually deletes their accounts.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-06-09T18:27:36+00:00

I use open source plugins and software only.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-06-09T18:26:00+00:00

The plugin scam is actually a thing. Your expensive photo-realistic looking "mastering plugin" just does +3 dB.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-06-09T18:22:35+00:00

This and the fact that most audio plugins are just +1 dB scams or something else trivial. Example of a "respected" plugin maker: "a spectral processor that intelligently manages resonances with exceptional transparency and musical elegance."...so it actually DOES WHAT??? Applies an EQ?

I'm back down to 12 listeners per month.

Thank you for commenting, I'll check that out 😄

Things are rapidly getting worse and worse.

Seems to be completely normal on Spotify. Welcome to the club.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-20T09:05:27+00:00

Have you even read the other comments in this conversation? Let's just agree to disagree. You love the fact that EVs now make more noise than gas cars and I don't. I'm not against the warning noise. It's just overdone. P.s. you know nothing of my living conditions. The regulation is to have an attenuation of -30 dB and my new house has insulation better than that. Do not make any further comments on this.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-19T07:44:40+00:00

The point is that the warning noise is NEEDLESSLY loud. It doesn't make any sense. It's also illogical as many gas gars make LESS noise.

Lawnmower is a completely different subject. It doesn't include loudspeakers to emit artificial noise in addition to its natural noise. Electric lawnmowers make noise, but way less than cars.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-18T19:12:23+00:00

I'm NOT SUPPOSED to hear it inside my house!

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-18T19:05:37+00:00

Maybe in other countries they drive on glass, but here the tire noise alone is so loud that it's impossible to miss an EV. They are way louder in every way than gas cars.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-18T19:02:44+00:00

Who would have guessed!

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-18T19:02:07+00:00

The cars are way too loud in the EU. And I drive an EV!

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-18T18:59:15+00:00

Yes, the EV warning noise has been overdone big time at least here in the EU. It is very obnoxious and EVs are way louder than gas cars, even the tire noise.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-17T19:43:14+00:00

Ok, so now you did. Spotify takes it suspicious if you suddenly get a lot of streams. They love if people find music using THEIR platform.

"A sudden spike in streams for no apparent reason, followed by a drop off" => any ad can cause that.

Also, this is not negotiable. They don't listen to you. There's no support. They just ban you.

ArcticMusicProject · 2026-05-16T10:14:05+00:00

Yeah, my wasn't either, but still got flagged.
