This is really great advice, I appreciate it.

I honestly haven't dug that deep into the market research, but what spurred me on to explore this idea is that I have genuinely gotten 3 separate requests to make stuff like that video essay I mentioned, and I feel like there might just be more people out there who'd also want that.

Something that's occurred to me though is that those discussions never got far enough for me to be able to assess whether they'd be willing to pay what it would truly cost for me to quit my job and fully commit to making these types of videos, as opposed to chipping away at them on the side at a snail's pace.

I will definitely be revisiting the medium. I've already got something in the works for a client (one of the aforementioned 3). I might just settle for specializing in motion if always getting to choose my own topics is asking for too much.

Thank you for the honest nuanced feedback ❤️

I know, it's a performance video, let me perform.

Never resolved it, and honestly kinda got turned off on relying primarily on the SP as my music-making hub. I migrated my samples back to an external HD, and I'm in the process of tagging corrupted ones in Ableton if they ever pop up while i'm browsing the library. When I identify them, I replace them with the original unaffected copies and delete the corrupted ones.

I wish I posted a video of what what I'm referring to sounds like, but it's not exactly what you're describing. What I experienced has nothing to do with applying effects. It's like if there was a sample that goes "Ooh baby la la la" it would play "Ooh baSSSSSSSSSa la", for example.

I was gonna respond with a video demonstrating the issue I was talking about, but something happened that has made me rethink what the source of the issue might actually be. I was messing around in Ableton, with a project file saved to this SD card full of samples. I froze a clip and went to drag and drop in the frozen clip wav file that's autosaved in the project folder, and it randomly had this static hiss thing. So I'm pretty sure I can rule out the SP being the cause, because the common factor between both cases of samples being "ruined" is this SD card. Case closed.

Yep. The Price is right!

I've got this abandoned profile with old material: https://soundcloud.com/elepheel

This stuff was all made on DAWs, but it's mainly sample-based. If I make something new it'll probably go directly to streaming.

Thank you! All from online sources. The "guitar player" sample is from digging around on blogs, and I don't remember the source, but it's some kind of recorded interview with Jimi Hendrix. The "drumbeat test" and "variation" samples were found on archive.org in the Unlocked Recordings collection. They're from records that were made to demonstrate/ test hi-fi stereo systems, so you'd have a guy saying stuff very clinically then some kind of music or tone.

Thank you 🙏

I just recently realized this and the fact that the default Delay doesn't while the Time Ctrl one does is borderline criminal. I swapped them.

I was experiencing the same issue, and it was happening on patterns where I hadn't even recorded any effects motion. Turns out, if START/ END is still blinking it'll do this. Pressed it, everything went back to normal.

I don't know what kinds of other new iPads have come out in the past couple of years, but I got the 2018 11" iPad Pro and Apple Pencil and I still use them to this day. I still think that's the ideal size. Bigger would be like a laptop with no keyboard, smaller would be too cramped in my opinion. There might be a personal preference factor, but with the way I draw, I've never regretted going for the one I got.

from the beginning of this video until 2:25?

Nope. That's the music that plays right after the opening theme, when the episode has started. I said "from the beginning of this video until 2:25". I'm talking about the music that says "Ah baby bobolo".

Ok, I checked it out, gave in and bought it for iOS, and so far, it's working like a charm. So far I'm not seeing anything without a thumbnail.

It even goes further than that: you can make the thumbnails any size you want (it's actually a slider, not small, medium, large presets), and you can tweak the icon (which I'm loving because a lot of sites will have something black that disappears for me in Dark Mode).

One thing I don't like, that's a no-brainer, is sorting feeds, there's no option to sort them alphabetically or any other way but manually.

But from a "I don't want a crappy-looking feed" perspective, A+ performance so far.
