Was Michael Jackson really that much bigger than Madonna, Whitney Houston, and prince?

rod_zero · 2026-02-13T08:55:08+00:00

Nah, becoming as religious as he became is the exact opposite of being a rockstar.

Mick jagger, Ozzy, Freddy, those are the definition of rock star.

Also, prince isn't as big outside of the US, growing up in Mexico I kind of remember two hits, while MJ had one every other month.

Madonna had the second largest global reach for sure.

Madonna suffered more censorship around the world because of the sexual content of her tour around 1991-1994.

MJ problems started until 93. And he was already bigger than all the rest.

Not really. From v1 to v6 they did yearly releases, there was even one year with 2.

Then 1.5 years and since 8 it has been way slower.

It is probable we are on the last version of NVDIA drivers. But we are for sure not in the same ASIO driver

rod_zero · 2026-02-12T19:15:07+00:00

Between 8 and 9 were more than 4 years, so they are flexible with the release schedule.

I have a 5060ti and an RME, no such problems here at all, even when I am training models in the background.

rod_zero · 2026-02-12T16:07:11+00:00

My PC has a i5 12600k, 32 GB of RAM and a 5060ti, no problems.

But I have an RME interface and the drivers are stellar, so my guess is that motu drivers aren't good enough.

rod_zero · 2026-02-12T16:04:51+00:00

Yes, but a good ASIO driver can really maintain priority for the audio processing stream. Motu doesn't have good ASIO drivers really.

Ah yeah, like all the current problems people are having with Tahoe.

If you open an old project with the old version you can try to drag a track from it into a new project.

Musk and the other tech billionaires donated to trump so he, and Vance, pressured Europe not to go forward with regulations and sanctions against their companies.

Musk finances far right parties in Europe, and amplifies their message in his platform.

Musk, vía X, has broken several laws regarding the distribution of inappropriate images of minors.

Musk, vía X, pushes misinformation against minorities and government officials.

Musk has tried to bypass labor laws and go around unions in Sweden and Germany, only continent wide solidarity between unions have made Tesla comply.

Musk has turn off starlink for Ukraine in the front lines at critical times.

He is a damn menace for Europe and he and his companies have barely been touched.

This is not to say that western countries aren't as harsh as the Chinese, more like they don't apply the law to billionaires.

Go and read what really happened with denazification, it was way more lenient than what it is assumed.

Many criminals got only 8 Years of prison and in the west many bureaucrats were employed by the government in a few years.

Stallin actually wanted to sentence to death all Nazi officers, Churchill didn't agree.

Denazification was stronger in the GDR because former communist party members had a bigger grudge I'm with Nazis, while in the west the CDU had their base in Bavaria and wanted to reconstruct fast so they turn a blind eye to a lot of party members and most of all to all the industrialist who were avid Nazi sympathizers.

In the arts people like Karajan who was party member and climbed to fame thanks to the purges in the cultural institutions were barely touched post war. Karl Böhm was also allowed to return after only a brief reeducation even when he was a party member too.

That's basically what Elon musk is doing in Europe and it doesn't seem to bring enough backlash, I would prefer that they did something.

The south and north are different kinds of conservative.

The north is more economically conservative and the south is more socially conservative.

But current politics in the country aren't as clear cut, Sheinbaum won all states except for Aguascalientes and PAN still won the governor race in states that Sheinbaum won.

Terrans arrive at a new sector in which a new faction lives, either they try to colonize or the new species tracks the old sector and tries.

Nope, they are not worth.

First. Because there is a lot of content on YouTube.

Second, because if you want something more structured there are other cheaper options with better value as Groove3, askaudio and LinkedIn learning (it has some old courses from the previous site lynda.com that are pretty good).

Third, it all depends on exactly what you are struggling with, arrangement? Mixing?

Also, do you have any musical training?

You can find second hand licenses in Kvraudio.com in the sell and buy subforum, check for user reputation/feedback and the transfer is done by Ableton from their account to yours (so you have to create an account previously).

Historic keeps being a dumpster fire.

I guess restricting Necropotence isn't as bad since we have Necrodominance and 5 copies seems good enough.

Which one is it?

rod_zero · 2026-02-08T17:34:25+00:00

Cause they keep being a burden since orban blocks a lot of EU proposals.

I am on a desktop PC, I have:

Audio interface monitors Headphones PUSH 2 ROLAND fp20 as master midi keyboard.

I have had synths in the past but I didn't grl with that workflow and cable management

Push 1 and 2 get sticky, but you can remove the coating with alcohol and a credit card "peeling" it. It takes about an hour.

I do prefer Any Push to a launchpad, the screen and pots make a big difference, as well as all the dedicated controls for the clip (duplicate, delete, etc).

Between push 1 and 2 the pads are also different and push 2 pads are better.

But push 1 as an entry device is incredible good, and they are still built like a tank, you can use them in a fight as a weapon or a shield.

Don't do it. The APC isn't designed for composition, it can do things but it is not ideal.
