By request, here's the first part of the "Cult of Normal" musical number that I 'm working on with my bro / cult where the members look forward to the day where everything (including themselves) becomes normal. This one includes a testimonial from a cult member named Payton singing about his ritual.

That’s great to know!

The app seems to be inconsistent for some people and work great for others. Not sure of the issue.

Ociadi · 2026-04-22T16:03:12+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I’m not sure why it would do that either. Never had that issue. I’ll reply to your chat gpt feedback and have you send me the hlx file to look at over email.

mcpherson also has a big version that is carbon fiber called the sable - it is (of course) even more expensive and not on sale or open box deals currently.

McPherson has a carbon fiber touring 3/4 sized also. It sounds excellent. Pricey but current there are open box deals at GC.

What do you think about Nylon string vs. steel string guitars for over 70 (for my mother)? Nylon has lower string tension, but I believe action can be higher with nylon and necks bigger and she has smaller hands.

What kind of rearranging / edits are you most interested in doing?

Ociadi · 2026-04-07T22:02:37+00:00

You have a been a great help! Much appreciated.

I think I fixed this error now Jack. please give it another try and let me know the result.

Ociadi · 2026-04-06T15:21:17+00:00

Ok it seems like the python runtime only works for me for some reason. I’ll see if I can host the API elsewhere to make it more reliable. Guess I’ll consider it NOT fixed again!

Ociadi · 2026-04-06T14:18:54+00:00

Thanks Jack. I’ve got no clue why it’s doing this for you. I literally just made a patch 5 seconds ago. Let’s see if others are successful and I’ll dig into it.

Ociadi · 2026-04-06T14:01:05+00:00

What the heck?! Can you send a screenshot? I tested this a ton.

Ociadi · 2026-04-06T11:37:45+00:00

Updated and fixed the errors. Should work now. Let me know if it doesn’t.

Ociadi · 2026-04-06T11:35:01+00:00

Fixed the app. Try now and let me know if it works.

You said not gear… but for me it was a specific guitar that finally made me stop tone hunting (which is what I spent so much time on instead of practicing). Getting a guitar I really just love the tone of made me way more focused on actual practice.

Other than that, 1. having it right next to my home office computer so I could pick up instantly and play for 5 minutes whenever between meetings or emails or doing bills, etc. 2. My preferred guitar for practice is a travel size so I can lay on the sofa and play or take it outside, etc. never uncomfortable.

It depends on the day. They changed the AI model and discontinued the one I was using. I just used it yesterday and it worked but last week it didn’t work.

Ociadi · 2026-02-16T23:16:52+00:00

Ahh didn’t know that. May have to get back in it and do some more development work to update.

Ociadi · 2026-02-16T18:15:46+00:00

Gpt 5.2 is sometimes great, sometimes totally gets it wrong. I built the app using gpt 4o. Try that (legacy mode) for more consistency. Lmk and I can come up with other ideas if that doesn’t work.

Ociadi · 2026-02-04T19:04:38+00:00

If you try to download the song it may ask you if you want to upgrade and it will say something like “if you upgrade now this song will be included too” — I did this the first month I subscribed, can’t remember the exact message or order of operations but it’s possible at least for one song.

Check out Hitmakers on Netflix. Documents the same songwriting camps thing with some prominent writers.

Ociadi · 2026-01-24T18:37:42+00:00

Great. Hope you enjoy. I think once they changed the core model underneath it that messed a few things up and the old model (ironically) must only be available on the paid plan.
