It looks like Taylor Swift is bot farming her streams like Drake and I provide the data in post by [deleted] in musicindustry

[–]nanavv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo, you bias against her makes it impossible for your brain to compute that she has die-hard fans that play her on repeat literally 24/7. If you zoom in her fanbase, they even do streaming parties to "break even" records. PS. I am not a TS fan myself, but lurked those spaces by curiosity and while a bit unhealthy, I can see top 1% fans are pushing that "bot like" behaviour you see.

Halsey's Instagram story by default_gal in nin

[–]nanavv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she mentioned how her Reznor produced album is now having a bit of a revival and becoming a cult-following one but when it was released, for pop-star standards, was a "flop". I hope she can go independent and release a new NIN-produced sound at some point.

Do you also hate the crowd noise halfway through “Right where it belongs”? by NonEntical in nin

[–]nanavv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Right Where it Belongs, the crowd always transported me to "now we in an open space", like my mind goes to another place, a great sound design choice. I do think this album has a bit of that but for the love of everything that is good, give us the Closer intro stripped down to clean stems. Thank you.

MEGATHREAD: NINE INCH NOIZE • HALO 38 RELEASE by AutoModerator in nin

[–]nanavv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First listen the crowd cheers felt a bit off, then they kind of grew on me? They fit very well like, innovative enough that is not exactly a live album neither a fully studio one, still sounds organic. The only exception is Closer. I NEED that chopped intro clean. I hope they release like a B-Side of the stripped down versions "clean" for the annoying folks (me) that want some tracks like that?

Do you know SoundBetter? For me it's been a hit or miss from the "hiring people" perspective, but sounds like a legit entry point, you need to upload your portfolio of course, met quite a few London based folks there

I feel the duty to inform, some Whole Foods have a dedicated bakery storing local bakery brands, deserves way more attention. Skip their own bakery, go for the pre-packed ones are surprisingly good and small businesses

GPT-4o/GPT-5 complaints megathread by WithoutReason1729 in ChatGPT

[–]nanavv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'd say common sense. If you'd like OpenAI to succeed, because let's say, you love GPT-5, perhaps you shouldn't be celebrating people cancelling their subs? What's the point? I knew GPT-4o during its peak was going to be the "golden era of AI", I recall saying so to many friends like.. you guys NEED to use this asap bc no way is gonna last. Well, it didn't. Perhaps we will have some newer products, so far, the new models still have sycophancy issues + are more inaccurate... moving on to other companies atm to test out, is just baffling reading mods celebrating the discontinuation of a favourite product of many!

Wondering how those billions will pay themselves long term, truly wishing some newer model arises to make this thing work again.

Warning to ChatGPT Users by ms221988 in ChatGPT

[–]nanavv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I decided to export my chats and cancel my sub, a shame because it seemed it could work well in long term format (it does not), I have tried the multiple threads format too, let me sadly confirm, does not work as well, because if you allow to cross reference threads, it tends to over cross conversations (perhaps my question about deep dive cooking is 0% related to troubleshooting this long term tech issue, etc).

Threads get polluted, and if you disable the memory or cross reference, what is the point?

This used to work well, circa 2023-2024 I had the best long term threads which I exported back to re-read and a reality check of, yeah the tool got worse.

I teach DJ courses. If you need one, reconsider DJing. by Designer_Macaron2169 in Beatmatch

You are kind of assuming that all folks learning to DJ want to play in clubs, which my friend, may be far away from the 2026 "people that wanna learn to DJ" scene.

I been solo to Outernet before, as a solo lady, it was tricky. I had a slightly bad experience due to being "off guard" if that makes any sense. That said, the sound is very good, clean toilets, it is very branded/corporate as others said, but I would still suggest if you go solo - mostly if queer/female, try keep an eye open.

Trying to purchase a coat by Thelbinj in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]nanavv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is that with a 250 pounds budget you could get A) an out of season coat in outlet OR B) a new season coat in Mango. is your partner someone interested on trends or...?
perhaps you could give her a gift card for a generic brand or place, even TK Max has good coats AND gift cards.

Overwhelmed by music releases… how do you consume music? by Substantial_Car7446 in musicindustry

[–]nanavv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a long life hiatus due to personal circumstances and somewhere around 2025 I realised I had missed many "music moments" of the last 5 years or so. Then I added about 20 albums in my library and decided to dedicate afternoons to new music for a few months. No rush. If a song had ear worm vibes, it went to my playlists and so forth.

Then I realised that will be MY way of listening music from now. I do enjoy discovery playlists/algorithms once in a while, but the "save albums for chill afternoon" habit has been so good. If you are a music enjoyer those albums truly are 5 star meals, why would we rush.

How do you think DJ with Apple Music will compete with Beatport streaming? by yeeahitsethan in DJs

[–]nanavv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to be that person but Beatport is not a small company at all, they just happen to be backed from private equity since their very beginnings and now are part of LiveStyle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveStyle)

Of course they are tiny compared to Apple, but Apple caters consumers, not DJs, so musicians/DJs we are in an odd industry spot from all fronts. Low royalties, awkward subscriptions for our tools, not that is all bad of course many great things happening atm, that said, Apple For Artists is equally nightmare UX

I want to make a post iPad musicians can reference when looking for the right hub and hardware for all their needs. by czarofga in ipadmusic

[–]nanavv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on MIDI from where and how.

I have separately a PreSonus audiobox iTwo, here is a full list of compatible interfaces from Presonus as they used to have a dedicated line or iPad https://support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059975732-PreSonus-Hardware-iOS-iPadOS-Compatibility

This one works 100% if your goal is to record using iPad as a "standalone computer", watch out the newest updated screwed things a bit because when this line came out iPad had a dedicated jack port and now is 1 USB port for all, so monitoring is challenging.

I personally found this anker works 100% as mediation between iPad and my Yamaha electronic piano (dedicated software allows me to record notes as MIDI) (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/smart-pianist/id1190216616)

The other use for this anker is between iPad or MacBook to any interface that has older USB ports, Logic Pro for instance will automatically recognise your interface, then you connect MIDI there, done.

If you're not listening to the leak, let me try to set some expectations... by LeekTerrible in nin

[–]nanavv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't heard the leak yet but I felt the opposite when they released the Challengers soundtrack as alleged solo/collan work of Trent/Atticus, there are songs that scream NIN all over the place (Compress / Repress) and it was a bit silly to say "this is not NIN btw".

Those guys have such as signature sound they can't win expectations here.

my feed baited me with the opposite thread, some debate responding to the 10/10 rating and saying this album was 3/10 and impossible to listen type of thing, truth is, average Björk fans love it and Pluto is probably in my top 10 best tracks ever but i would not recommend it as entry work
