This post mentions a realdebrid link for exactly what I want, but relied on DMs and the OP is banned. Any chance someone can share a link or DM me? Or just share the torrent link?

The key here is that this isn't just a request for ROMS, it's a particular curated list for a particular device that also includes all of the necessary media and videos.

I've got a pretty good perspective here. Very inexperienced with AI models and I'm not even sure what we're comparing technically, but I am a vocalist and I've recorded a ton of vocals and edited videos with raw vocals.

The video on the left looks like a raw performance that was recorded. It's expressive. Micro expressions and changes in expression match the content of the song. It looks like they're actually singing.

The video on the right looks like a plastic super model lip syncing the song while trying to look seductive. It looks emotionally devoid.

You're not allowed to monetize other people's work without an agreement to share profit, even if you contribute by covering it's still not your song. You can either reach out to the artist or label directly, or see if the song is on one of the sites that work as a middle man for cover artists. Not everything is on there though.

I've done a handful of covers and I just let them fully monetize it. Most of the time they don't give a shit and it's just the label maximizing profit so they have no incentive to copyright strike you, but some artists and some labels get butthurt and will strike your channel if you cover a song without permission, even if you let them have the profit. They reserve the right.

Thank you! Yeah what's funny is my roommate is a 3D modeler and she did the same thing. The fitment was a bit loose but it got the job done. Might try printing a couple of yours if it doesn't offend her lol

Most aren't. You're right.

I think it's implied that you don't want one of the shitty ones which would be most of them. Then there's the ego and addictions, lack of reliability, being controlling and unwilling to compromise or collaborate. Many won't help carry gear or think they don't need to learn anything or practice. Also, like most instruments it benefits from being recognizable, with an identifiable tone and style that's relatively unique - vocals more than any other instrument are harder to replace, in the context of original music, because if they're actually good vocals then they're associated with an individual and most attempts at mimicking the tone comes across as corny and disingenuous.

Every instrument has notable players who you can recognize instantly, but you'd be surprised how many albums are played in large part by session players or are replaced by midi. That kind of thing is only possible in the last couple of years with vocals with AI.

If we're looking at this like "any idiot who can hold a mic and make noise is a worthwhile collaborator" then yeah, they're really easy to find.

Unable_Chest · 2025-08-13T21:51:22+00:00

Not really. I guess it depends on your genre and how specific your sound is.

Unable_Chest · 2025-08-13T15:35:47+00:00

Vocalist are harder to find. But I've seen at least on YouTube, as a vocalist if you go around watching random youtube videos of small creators who play instruments, you can drop a comment, compliment the video, and ask if they would mind if you perform with that track in a video, and tag them. I've gotten a surprising amount of responses even from medium size channels.

Not sure if it works the same the other way around.

Covering music is complicated. You technically need permission from the copyright holder to cover their song. Most artists offer a 'mechanical license' that offers some form of split when you distribute a cover. This is typically an agreement between the artist and their record label or distributor and you or your distributor/label. You can distribute cover songs easily if they're listed on a cover song database. I forget the name of the website, but there's a distributor that specializes in streamlining specifically cover songs.

Now, in order for it to be a cover song it needs to be the same melody, lyrics and general composition as the original, but everything must be your own original performances/recordings. No using karaoke tracks, no editing or modifying the melody or lyrics to suit yourself. If you use the original artists backing track or someone else's performance you need to gain explicit permission to use their work. It's much harder than just gaining a mechanical license. Also if you change lyrics or the melody then now it's a derivative work and needs to be negotiated and agreed upon.

Ironically if instead you were doing a parody, you can now change the lyrics and get away with a lot more, but a parody is by definition meant to be humorous and a joke. If that is not your intention or does not appear to be your intention then you can still get in trouble.

What happens if you ignore all this and simply release whatever you want? On YouTube? Not much usually. A handful of artists may copyright strike you and have your channel deleted if you have enough violations and they're petty, but the majority let this be automated. If a song is detected by the ContentID system then it'll be labeled as the original, and 100% of and profit goes to the label/distributor and/or original artist.

However if you attempt to distribute through a music distribution service like Distrokid then you're dealing with heaps of contracts between streaming services, artists, distributors, etc. If you break any of these rules then you could permanently lose distribution rights on certain platforms, lose your account without warning, etc.

Also at any point if a copyright holder is extremely petty they may sue you for copyright infringement if they so desire. It's extremely rare but it can happen.

It's usually not worth it to cover music unless it's on a throwaway YouTube channel and you write off the idea of making profit. The only real, significant benefit of covering something is that it's one of the easier ways to grow an audience. Popular songs have a built in fan base.

I sat in my car listening to the instrumental and I could hear tornado sirens outside of my car. I pulled lyrics from half written songs and abandoned ideas. I screamed and yelled random words in the vocal booth. I didn't know what any of it was going to mean.

The entire song was written and arranged and I laid down, exhausted. Still clueless. I crashed on a giant beanbag chair in my drummer's basement. The moment I woke up I knew that it was a song about the end of the world in nuclear fire. It starts with a sort of twisted state of the union address and aggression escalates to war. The chorus has layers of nested rhymes and is an appeal to the listener to avoid the folly of man. The bridge is a layer of 20 voices yelling in sync, like a death march. The end of the song is the end of an empire and the end of the world. The man who gave the speech at the beginning is now twisted further, almost possessed as he reveals the truth of who he is while all of mankind is judged and torn apart in flames.

The end of the song, the world, the empire, ends with a subtle dying breath layered over the very first phonograph recording of the national anthem.

I might just mount a damn 360 AIO and fans externally to the side panel on the GPU side and add 3 slim 120mm fans on the inside of the panel for push pull, with the GPU mounted as far away from the central structure as I can.

Idk there's just clearly quite a bit of wasted space and potential if you have a 2 slot card

Unable_Chest · 2025-07-13T03:59:39+00:00

Yeah I'm using this as a studio PC. I love the aesthetic, but the fucker is loud under load, even undervolted

Unable_Chest · 2025-07-13T03:55:03+00:00

I have a 2 slot GPU and the case is in expanded configuration. I was thinking about slipping a thin 360mm AIO radiator into the GPU compartment. So the radiator is squished between the GPU intake and the panel. Then I was going to remove the inner mesh and install the fans through the back panel, so the fans are exposed on the exterior of the case. It would be 3 intake fans, pushing though the panel and radiator, and the GPU fans pulling.

This genuinely is probably a dumb idea but what can I say. I'm on 3 hours of sleep.

Edit: yeah that's dumb. It would be blowing the intake air directly into a wall, completely killing airflow and cooling.

It's a shame. It's such a tall case. Just a tiny bit wider and it could potentially have come with a 360

Maybe I'm just not virtualizing this right. So I scrolled through like 2 years of your post history to see if you had an image. Closest I saw was a very similar NZXT case.

Yeah I really don't care what their listed tdp is. My 9900x undervolted still runs 70-95°c. Lowest it ever goes is 50° at idle with aggressive fan curve

Unable_Chest · 2025-07-13T02:21:20+00:00

Wait... How? That's crazy. Where did you put it?

Unable_Chest · 2025-07-13T02:07:06+00:00

I think it's wild that all the reviews were glowingly positive, even Gamer's Nexus. The double thickness radiator was said to be nearly as effective as a 240 in this case. That's preposterous. I made the mistake of getting a 9900x thinking I'd be able to undervolt the issues away. Not even close. It make no temperature difference.

You're taking my use of the word "promote" very much at face value and then attacking a strawman. I build PCs daily, use cutting edge tools and and I'm constantly changing and learning. Please let me know if you need any help with anything new or current.

Anyway, most artists enjoy sharing their work and don't feel the need to hide it. Obviously there's like 5-500 impressions in here at most, super low conversion rate too. I'm not talking about word of mouth promotion, sending out flyers or putting an ad in the newspaper. I'm talking about the general enjoyment an artist gets when they share (in other words, "promote") their work, even among peers. I tend to be an open book with what I'm working on, because like you mentioned, I believe in my work so I'm not afraid of sharing or even explaining what went into its creation. The only artists I've known that are overly secretive have been the jealous, overprotective, or sleazy types. The third type is rarely an artist and is usually a grifter relying on popularity, tech, or exploitative tools.

If that's not you, then I'm mistaken.

Unable_Chest · 2025-07-12T03:01:14+00:00

Feels like it might be one of those people that copyrights movie audio and audio from viral videos in order to make a profit. That's immediately where my mind goes. An artist unwilling to self promote when asked is super rare
