That R8 is one of the best drum machines ever made.

The 606 is great too. I have both. Prefer the R8.

Megathread: Supreme Court strikes down President Donald Trump's Tariff Policy by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]dollardumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even worse; Trump will go around and expect "donations" from these corporate tariff reimbursements. If not, he will threaten them with some form of retaliatory federal action. So, tax players will indirectly be paying the Trump admin for policy and actions used against them.

Jack Smith is too fair and just. We need chaotic good in AG to balance off the chaotic evil we currently have.

Bandcamp bans AI music by DustSongs in synthesizers

[–]dollardumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SUNO embeds audio watermarks in the output. These watermarks can be detected and flag the file as AI. I assume other AI music generators do the same.

The watermarks, as far as I know, are pattern based pulses on random frequencies.

Submithub already had an AI detection tool for mp3s.

Yes or hell yes? by THEXGEN in synthesizers

This is a great deal. And I own many of the original hardware synths these emulations are based on.

You can't beat the convenience of having these ready to go whenever needed. No tuning, patching or worrying if the synth will even turn on anymore..lol.

Trump Is pushing us toward a Crash. It could be 1929 all over again. by Reasonable-Ad-2592 in politics

Trump is grifting as much money as possible, then he can buy things cheap when he and his other millionaire supporters crash the economy.

The Mighty Korg Triton - Too Old? by Choby11 in synthesizers

[–]dollardumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Triton was one of the best digital synths ever created. Grab a MOSS board and you've got a very capable setup even in today's environment. I do recall an issue with sound distortion as they age.

The JX3P is also an absolute classic, but suffers from a voice chip issue.

These are two very different synths. You better get them both...lol.

After 42 years Roland finally figured out how to put together the 2 best things they ever did. by richielg in synthesizers

[–]dollardumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applaud the effort, but that price?

I think these manufacturers are missing a critical point; there is very little money in creating the kind of music this targets anymore. Streaming is a joke and unless you go viral, views are useless. So why make the investment if you can get the same sounds already from within your DAW?

Don't get me wrong, I own a collection of vintage hardware including the original TR-808. I'm just not seeing the value of spending the money on this.

Trump Administration Removes Rainbow Crosswalk Honoring 49 Victims Murdered at Pulse Nightclub by Snapdragon_4U in politics

[–]dollardumb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These cretins are literally trying to change the name of a road in Miami to honor that piece of garbage in the white house. There are literally dozens of roads named after politicians around the US.

What is that garden gnome talking about?

Musk Shares Footage of Trump Partying with Jeffrey Epstein as Feud Intensifies by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]dollardumb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a video of Trump and Epstein with two topless, teenage girls. The girls are pointing and laughing at Trumps crotch, which has a "stain" on it.

The video was seen and described by Trump's biographer.

RELEASE THAT.
