My mother always scolded my dog whenever he came to knock (scratch) on my door to wake me up. I’ve been wondering for a while why she stopped doing that. I just realized it’s because now he only comes to wake me up when she isn’t home. ;-;

album drop!! track #5, AGen, was the most compelling for me. behind that was track #7, THE END OF THE END. i felt ambivalent about most of the other tracks, but i kept coming back to those two and i believe they were taken in promising directions :O

notably, so much went right during AGen:

those bit-crushed ambient pad chords with their initial upward glide and soft attack. they truly carried the harmonic movement of the song and their presence outlined a lot of important sections within the song (especially their absence during 0:23 + 0:35 + 1:19, which tended to serve the purpose of emphasizing the progressions of sampled breaks and other instruments as they led into new territory)... i really appreciated the entire section of 2:11 and how it followed through to 2:38, very appropriate for this progression. the sections/progressions where the entire arrangement gets pitched down/up (1:19 through 1:31, 2:13 through 2:20, 3:07 through 3:21) were emphasized very nicely thanks to these pads

other notable features... those subtle mid-range triangle-ish leads peeking through very briefly, most easily heard at 0:36 and 0:39 when most of the instruments retreat and leave the sampled breaks alone. the thin quiet plucks were also very well-appreciated and were finally melodically consistent with the key signature and scale and harmony, in contrast to a lot of the other songs where there wasn't very much relation between any of the melodies. the crunchy garbage-noise bits were also used tastefully for the most part too

and how could i forget, the breaks themselves!! they were genuinely really good, and appear to be the most intricately designed element of these songs, especially here during the progressions through each new section. they evolve a lot with all the cutting-and-splicing and pitch-gliding while being low-passed at different times, and each little change feels relevant and functional even despite it very clearly being the same drumloop being recycled

overall, a very enjoyable song :>

for the second-favorite, THE END OF THE END:

not as enjoyable melodically, but really this song is saved almost exclusively by its maj7(?) rave pad chords and by its intro and outro. i love the texture of that pad so so much, and it once again carried whatever square-wave melodies were used over them without complaining, mostly complementing each other without many problems with harmony

oh!! the sparkly chimes! those were also really sweet additions in my opinion, they fit so well with the pads <3

otherwise, most compliments i would give are similar to my comments on drumbreak samples and progressions found in track #5

...

and that's pretty much all i have to say, i wish i could've had more to say but i treasured my time listening to what you made anyway <3 good luck, emoticon friend

Why thank you for enjoying my album fellow person on the internet!! :‎D

Anyways time to give some background on those two songs that you said that were your favorites!

Track 5: AGen - I'll admit it, I honestly didn't really like this song that much while producing it compared to the other songs, and I even considered dropping it from the album entirely. But I needed to make enough songs to put on the album for it be considered as one, so I continued producing it. I don't know if it's just me, but I found some parts of the song kind of overwhelming even for myself (especially in the part where the drum starts producing more extreme stutters and in the pitched down part when the string instrument kicked in). But looking at this review of the song (and just some general self-reflection) made me realize that I might have a small self-doubting problem. Most of the time when I'm producing a song, I keep on having doubts about the song, and how it doesn't really "sound right". But in spite of that I am able to make stuff that people do indeed enjoy, and when I see that there are people out there who really do enjoy my stuff, that feeling of having my songs not be "good enough" gets washed away.

Track 7: THE END OF AN END - The highest BPM song I have made (second highest if you account for my first ever song lol). I personally enjoyed making this song the most, and I think it was the pad sample that I used, very groovy, very awesome. Most of the song (like ~65%) was based off of that one pad sample, and I can see why I did base most of the song off of it! Along with the square wave + triangle wave combo I used too. And this is the first time that I have ever made a song in that key before, and I think it turned out surprisingly amazing!!

Also 8/9 of the songs used an nes sound emulating vst in them in some way. And your favorite song (AGen) being the only one that didn't use it at all!
Behrauder
I just had an idea for a very cringe thread (but it's surprisingly high quality), maybe I can have the title for the most cringe thread in history, or at least the most cringe in the last 3 years. Unfortunately, I need a very specific opportunity for this. If I remember by then, the thread could be released in April or later. If it happens, it will be in my top 5 best threads I've ever created, I think.

I don't know, it depends on the type of question. For this particular question about the Wii, I don't think it really matters where I search it.

I usually search on Google when I want to see images or find a website based on a specific image. I also use it to search in an incognito tab "[Anime name] + MAL", then copy the URL that I find and paste it into a regular tab to add the anime to my plan to watch.

Oh, I also use Google to find some information on Reddit. I discovered that if you add "Reddit" at the end of a Google search, it's much easier to find what you want, lol.

I think the only research context in which LLMs are REALLY irreplaceable is when you need to describe something to figure out its name. For example: What's the name of that anime with a generic protagonist who...

I get asking question that require more interpretation like describing a anime, I do that myself too, but just looking for information or something, I would much rather google something and then join a wikipedia link that having that same information be processed through a AI that may hallucinate, also when googling you have like 10 results and with chatgpt you're forced into the one that the AI decided it was the most appropiate, and I like having the freedom of choice

I guess I don't get why you made the switch to full AI whenever it just feels like a inferior version of google for those purpouses

I get asking question that require more interpretation like describing a anime, I do that myself too, but just looking for information or something, I would much rather google something and then join a wikipedia link that having that same information be processed through a AI that may hallucinate, also when googling you have like 10 results and with chatgpt you're forced into the one that the AI decided it was the most appropiate, and I like having the freedom of choice

I guess I don't get why you made the switch to full AI whenever it just feels like a inferior version of google for those purpouses
I use it so often that I was pretty sure it wouldn't give a wrong answer in this context. The search tool wouldn't Google it, find the correct answer, and then give the wrong answer. I don't think I need 10 sources to confirm the date the Wii was released (which isn't even important information to me), but ChatGPT searches multiple sources in less than 1 second and gives me a concise and quick answer (although Google is just as quick). In short, in this context, it really doesn't matter how the research is done, and I just asked ChatGPT out of habit.

Probably around 80% of the people here are younger than it.
quick question do you use chatgpt more than google or why the fuck did you ask chatgpt that
I don't know, it depends on the type of question. For this particular question about the Wii, I don't think it really matters where I search it.

I usually search on Google when I want to see images or find a website based on a specific image. I also use it to search in an incognito tab "[Anime name] + MAL", then copy the URL that I find and paste it into a regular tab to add the anime to my plan to watch.

it's not about choosing sources, it's not about the number of them either, it's about the way chatgpt processes that information and how inprecise the wording generated may be, it's the translation process that is the problem. Today I used chatgpt to study to have them explain something to me and it did give a very missleading explanation. Something that doesn't happen if you just google it

Yes, that's why it depends on the context. With experience, you kind of know what to ask it and what is better to Google.

Asking it when the Wii was invented (especially with search mode on) is basically as reliable as asking it the result of 1 + 1; you simply doubt it will get that wrong. Now, to use it for studying, I would be very cautious (but it still depends on the context).

Also, making prompts that avoid confirmation bias is always essential.
