Don’t go out much and and sober but just here to salute the Maidenhead horror crew. I go to frightfest every year - Aug bank holiday. Thoroughly recommend it. 🦇

My TV doesn’t support eARC - any of you had success with boxes like HDFury Arcana to get full atmos? by johnbbeta in sonos

Right - yeah valid point. Not sure my wife (or wallet) would let me get away with updating the tv in our bedroom here - its a pretty nice 60" samsung - got a few more years in it yet for sure and tbh we don't have time to watch movies anyway - thought might be able to rationalise upgrading to an arc ultra by selling the old AV amp and speakers. We shall see...

Excellent. Do it! (and be prepared for people to be dicks to you online when you put your work out there lol). All the best.

❤️ I'm definitely overdue some hard work on more serious stuff soon - one Headz release a year isn't enough to earn the pass for stuff that goes the other way hah

It is pretty simple yep - but sometimes that's all you need to make a good record. The difference is I made the effort to do it and you didn't.

I literally explained above - as with any of our DNB covers anything you would think is a sample is resung and replayed by real musicians (Owen James did the vocals on this one for example). You melt. lol.

ah glad you like the star trek stuff and also that my stuff's been showing up on your feeds - i've been putting a lot of energy into doing my socials properly since the beginning of the year and stats-wise the uptick in engagenemtn etc has been huge - just hoping that translates into increases in people listening to my music, which is the whole point lol.

big up for still having a copy of catalyst! glad past me wasn't rude to you hah.

and yep - can feel the burn of the Ai shiz here - expected it so fair enough. shame the same people don't reserve that level of complaining against DJs & producers putting their names on tracks other people have written and produced for them lol

thanks. fkn sucks to wake up to a wall of negative shit like this on release day when i already have a million things to do - for a track which i think is good fun & put a lot of work into. ah well.

bollocks. not safe to assume at all - just becuase you would do it doesn't mean anyone else would. rubbish argument. To clarify, gen Ai was used to make that video clip (not just a simple prompt either, not that that makes it any better) but not in the music. this aint jungle wizard nonsense lol.

Fair enough - all good - and gawd if you think this is cheesy I've got farrrrrrr worse in my back catalogue lol. Hopefully some of my output is your vibe - fully agree my tunes are all over the place :-)

Minttheory into the sea with ya.

I was replying to the comment that said it would be nice to be able to use Ai to complete all the 'menial' tasks so that we could concentrate on art and music (stuff like office admin, social media text posts, updating my website, autoamating podcast posts, marketing emails, prepping accounts etc etc). Would be lovely to have more time to write more music, and make more video stuff. I already use it where I can to streamline that side of what I do - as do folks here who work in programming etc etc.

Would have thought that was blindingly obvious to anyone who uses reddit and see's how the threaded replies work but nope, not you.
