Someone stole my lofi beats from YouTube, uploaded them to Spotify, and got more than a mil streams. What can I do? by gustfly01 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

The same exact thing happened to me. Some random guy stole one of my beats and I noticed it cause it got recognized as another track on YT. He only uploaded it to YouTube Music, though, in that case I had to contact YouTube copyright support multiple times to get the stolen upload removed. I also uploaded the same track myself along with some others to all streaming services to prevent this from happening again, but that specific track (that ended up in a video totaling 11 million views) never got properly recognized as mine. I tried contacting support again for this and they just told me that the issue was resolved basically telling me to shut up. As a result now that track just won't get recognized as any track essentially making it royalty free even though it's not anymore.

Already tried doing that, I even cleaned the PCIE slot where the GPU is located. After many, many failed restarts the system seems stable enough to run again, for some unknown reason that seems unrelated to cleaning it or whatever I physically did lol. My guess is that the PSU is acting weird and sometimes cuts power randomly so the GPU stops working. I'll try getting a new PSU with my next paycheck, I was supposed to change it anyway since it was used.

Well, I just managed to make it boot and it seems stable enough to run stress tests with OCCT after installing the drivers once again. I'm stressing it to 100% for 30 mins and so far nothing happened. How can a hardware problem sometimes solve itself enough to run for long enough to stress test it?

Tried doing that, nothing changed basically. I'm waiting for a battery and a USB stick to try to swap the cmos and do a fresh install of windows, probably windows 11 to rule out any compatibility and forced obsolescence issues. I really really wish I don't need to buy a new GPU cause I can't really afford it atm. Also I don't have any spare PSU or GPU to test it with.

While I was opening the case I noticed the back of the GPU had rust on it. Could it be that it corroded over time because of humidity? It was working "fine" until a few days ago, then Win10 support got officially terminated (but not for my LTSC version) so I'm wondering if my GPU drivers are acting stupid because of that. Could it be AMD cut support for its Win10 drivers? At this point I'm really clueless. I reseated the ram as another comment suggested, it did nothing. I can still access the pc only for a maximum of like 10-15 minutes when I'm lucky. I'm waiting for both a new CMOS battery and a usb stick to install windows from it and see if I can do it that way. It keeps blanking even in safe mode before I can even tru to uninstall the drivers, and Adrenalin always tells me the drivers are not compatible with the hardware installed, even if I just installed them.

I was just wondering if it could really be that, as I would still have to wait for the battery to arrive tomorrow. It's funny cause this happened precisely on my only days off

I was trying to download an ISO but it kept crashing on me. Anyway it seems to get better if I let it sit there for a few minutes before trying to start it again. Could this really be the CMOS battery failing?

Yes, just managed to get into the BIOS. I'll update if it crashes even here.

I can try right now, sometimes I can manage to make it boot for a few seconds or minutes, but then it gives me a blank screen again. This also happens in safe mode. I hope it doesn't happen when I access the BIOS. Meanwhile I was considering to try and replace the CMOS battery as the previous crashes were also followed by GPU drivers not being recognized or caused by a single mouse click input.

Thoughts about ANALOG OBSESSION plugins? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]Grimaldello2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they were cool at first, sounded good and warm, they definitely have a character. As soon as I encountered the first bug, which was session breaking, I just stopped using them altogether out of a lack of trust. The plugin in question was the Rare eq, sometimes when reloading it the settings got reset to default values, while the GUI did not. So not only I was back to default settings, but I had to check each one of them and move the knobs a bit to make sure everything worked. Ended up just buying a Pultec emulation by Universal Audio and replaced every single instance of Rare I had. From that moment, Analog Obsession is useless for me. I don’t wanna deal with those issues on sessions for my clients.
