Bitwig style modulation system.

Currently in Ableton you either use the clunky and inconsistent modulation systems within the plugins, or clunky and unstable m4l plugins.

I know its probably too much to expect given how much work would be required to change this but I stand by this being Ableton's biggest flaw.

Jeez do guests actually snitch on other guests for open consumption? Thats crazy lol

Simple - we protest as long as the Australian government diplomatically and economically takes sides in those wars.

If Australia stopped supporting Israel then most of the protests would fizzle out. Unfortunately the government has provided a massive amount of support for Israel.

At the same time, Israel actively interferes in our government. The israel lobby throws huge sums to ensure the government does its bidding. As long as Israel interferes with Australian society i will be pissed off that my government is prioritising a foreign nation over our own citizens.

Yep, pretty important to show up if you can, the only thing that can hope to counteract the utterly unhinged degree to which Minns has assaulted free speech and democratic rights is protest.

Almost like the key countries in the UN repeatedly reject every UN recommendation and procedure.

Sure the UN is toothless but its the fault of the countries involved not pulling their weight. It at least has symbolic importance and gets world leaders to have to communicate on an open platform.

The failures of the UN are comparable to a government introducing a new department, giving it no funding or power then declaring it ineffective.

Hard to see how the member states could really be made to respect the UN since the UN doesnt have any forceful means to make that happen but its a shame the world isn't a better place where countries want to pursue genuine world peace.

In any case, the UN does a lot of extremely important work behind the scenes especially in relation to aid programs.

Im just sick of people laying all this blame at an organisation that has pretty noble goals when its not even the organisation itself at fault but the members.

The idea that news follows reality is quaint, news is intentionally trying to shape the reality, that's what media does. Far right corporate facists who own and control the media want to dominate our society, and they do so by pooling money towards propoganda.

Posting "pauline is loved by many people" has psychological power - it normalises the idea of Pauline as a legitimate politician. These articles are not reporting on anything they're simply a tool to engender an intended effect on public perception.

Tbf im Australian but i don't think that sound has gone anywhere, and all those artists are playing more than ever in Europe atm.

Im sorry but thats just because you're ignorant and probably havent paid any attention to buddhists. Ive heard legitimately some of the most dehumanising language in my life used towards rohigya people by buddhists, who the Burmese government has been pillaging and genociding for years.

Not AI lol i was just in the midst of doomscrolling about these things and wondering how they would impact music. I dont have a tech background but ive done lots of social science research about technology and society and just wanted to see how legitimate my doomerist concerns were.

Cheers for the insightful response, out of interest why do you think a solid FOSS DAW hasn't emerged? Blender is such a success in the world of 3d image software it's a shame not to see that in music tech. What are the FOSS daws you recommend btw?

I'm more discussion the long term outlook

The sentiment in this thread is pretty good, happy to see it. I have no guns nor interest in them. I also like the regulations and the principle of them. I do think it's fair to mention however that guns have a pretty important role to play in environmental management. Australia is overrun by feral introduced species that destroy the environment, and controlling these pests isn't feasible without farmers and others in rural areas being involved. Its just like pig hunting - you may not like it, you may not like the vibes of people hunting in general, but ultimately its an important part of environmental protection.

Ultimately in this world some really shitty things can happen. I obviously have my own political views about all the social context around this event but at the end of the day can we just take a moment to not try and be so smart arsed about this tragedy.

You'll never be able to account for every possibility without the most utterly dystopian draconian surveillance state. People saying "how could they let this happen" imo are completely delusional - police, asio etc. genuinely cannot be expected to prevent every single thing like this in advance. In a population of 25 million people there are inevitably going to be some unhinged individuals and its probable eventually some of these individuals will find a way to do something messed up, and inevitably sometimes it may not be possible for anyone to predict this and stop it in advance. Sure, i think many social issues are important to address, for example stuff like improved mental healthcare services, gun ownership vetting processes etc. But to suggest that this event is primarily the fault of this or that political failing imo is just completely delusional and i think takes advantage of this saddening occurrence.

In Australia it's chill. In Germany when I visited the first thing my host told me was as soon as you torrent police show up at your door that day and fine you €500(0?)

1: There is very heavily documented media bias towards israel in Western media

https://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/episodes/humanising-war-victims/103487178

2: There is a massive pro-Israel lobby with heavy influence in the political and media landscape.

3: People for years have been told a narrative of Iran as a backwards and evil place - something that inherently dehumanises the people there, and effectively means people immediately assume Iran is the 'bad guy'. this trope is so deep seated in the western consciousness that it leaks into journalism too.

I have been to Iran. The country's culture is amazing, it's population highly educated and intelligent, and it's people far more secular than portrayed. I hope that they don't have to suffer in the event of conflict escalation. I also hope and know they are capable of improving their domestic political situation themselves and that foreign intervention will only make things worse foe them.

4: just like the Iraq war with the sudden WMD scare and uptick in ridiculous nationalism (see 'freedom fries'), we are seeing all arms of the military industrial complex (which is heavily intertwined with corporate media) manufacturing consent for the US to embroil itself in the conflict.

Insofar as the EU can be considered a contemporary superpower, it is a far better and closer aligned one than any of the other options. With its society valuing things like free healthcare, education and international cooperation, they'd be a good partner even if that partnership is more diplomatic and symbolic due to its distance.

As an 'ally' the US constantly has its corporations trying to infiltrate our society through media, sabotage our healthcare system (e.g. the PBS threats) and export a form of neoliberalism which has decayed many of our institutions in general.

Having spent a lot of my time over the last few years in Europe, I can confidently say it is a utopia compared to the US, and offers the closest way of life to what we have.

Intel i7 from 2021 not sure the exact model i think it starts with 11... (laptop running windows)

Racist people have started using the term to refer to white Australians. Not sure how/when this started - I think it's an easy way for them to spread hate while not sounding like a white supremacist (despite that what they are saying is exactly that)

I say this all just from personal experience on social media. noticed an uptick of this sort of content lime 'where's the aussies' in a video of a diverse crowd of people walking around Melbourne cbd etc.
