fuck this in its hairy asshole

Tell you what, that programmer had a lot of time on his hands.
This might be useful for people who do the music for chewing gum commercials.

Do you guys ever just tell someone they suck? You fuckin suck! try that part again, and suck less this time.

It is an interesting engineering challenge though. I wish the technology had been developed at some place like ccrma or the MIT media lab. Then instead of a plugin optimized for improving chewing gum commercials(and probably set up in such a way as to be a huge pain in the ass to use it for anything interesting) you would have a paper detailing the technique, and an easier path towards using it for something the original author hadn't even thought of.

Sure, if I want them to storm out without paying.

Leave it to the Germans to develop such a diabolical device to suck the soul out of music.

[dontfeartheringo]

Like those goddamn Neumann mics! SOULLESS!

I can just imagine some kid sitting at his computer desk fucking with this for hours to fix a guitar part he could just replay and fix in 30 seconds...

I was reading this: http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2005/03/braincomputer-i.php

Its amazing where technology can lead us. But who wants to see a rock concert with 3 guys or girls sitting in chairs wearing caps on their heads?

There are positive applications for this and all audio technology, but just because we can ... should we?

[hench]

this is amazing. truly fucking amazing. would be really curious to hear how well it works with legato performing, or held notes underneath a melody, or sostenuto pedal, etc...

going to have to play with this one for a good long while when it hits the boards. seems like a great way to rewrite sample material, among other things...

I don't get it why people freak out because of tools such as this. Like every single thing in this world, you can use it for good things and bad things.
Lots of musicians aren't into the attitude of "documenting a performance", lots of bands use the studio as an instrument and they can use this tool as an instrument, they can sample choirs and tweak the hell out of them, they can alter their own parts or other people parts. It's just another way to be creative and experimental. I see nothing wrong with that. I see nothing wrong with documenting a performance as well.

I also think it's lame when someone doesn't practice and give whatever performance that can be fixed later on. I don't like this kind of art, when one doesn't care about how well he/she is going to sing, as long as it's going to be fixed later. I do like it though when one is giving out a certain performance and thinks "Ha! I can turn into completely something else!" for art's sake and not for perfection's sake.

Freaking out because of tools like that is like freaking out because of people making butchers' knives - someone might use it to kill, no?
It's all about the good use and the bad use of these tools.

Is it true they don't believe in heat?

I can use a hammer to hammer nails or to murder someone who looks at me funny. It's still a good tool to have for those that need that sort of thing.

[TRIFECTA]

HOLY SHIT FUCK!! IF YOU CANT FUCKING RECORD MUSIC AND KEEP YOUR GUITAR IN TUNE OR TUNE A GUITAR WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING RECORDING MUSIC? HOLY SHIT!! WOW!!

I HOPE THIS HAS THE SAME SHITTY SOUND ON THE RECORDING LIKE AUTO TUNER ON VOCALS DO.


FUCK THAT!!

[TRIFECTA]

I THINKS ITS AMAZING BREAKTHROUGH BUT IF YOU CANT TUNE A GUITAR YOUR A FUCKING MORON AND YOU SHOULD CUT YOUR HANDS OFF.

HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE FROZEN PB AND J SANDWICHES? HOW THE FUCK CAN SOMEONE BE SO LAZY OR INCOMPETENT TO MAKE A PB AND J OR TUNE THERE FUCKING INSTRUMENT.

[busbus]

IF YOU CANT TUNE A GUITAR

then you can't tuna fish?


Sorry, that shit was some bad REO Speedwagon inspired humor.

[FuzzBob]

This device will facilitate a lot of [genius/nefariously bad] music as will be demonstrated in upcoming albums by [Daft Punk/Cher].

[Ferrett]

Used this, And its good

IF YOU CANT TUNE A GUITAR YOUR A FUCKING MORON

let's all just read that a few times and let it soak in.

[TRIFECTA]

LET IT SOAK IN DEEP......THROUGH THE THICKNESS

I THINK IT'S an AMAZING BREAKTHROUGH, BUT IF YOU CAN'T TUNE A GUITAR YOU'Re A FUCKING MORON AND YOU SHOULD CUT YOUR HANDS OFF.

C-, You need to go back and revise apostrophes for contraction and the rules for the your/you're homophones. Also, overuse of expletives is neither big nor clever...

[omaroski]

can i tune my organ?

[price]

I totally dig this.

Sorry, but this is going to be incredibly useful to me, and it's a pretty amazing technological leap forward.

Agreed.

Melodyne is an excellent tool that the majority of my artists love.

Some singers have me abuse it, some want me to just even out the harmonies.

Direct Note Access will be another silly thing to learn and use.
I don't know how I'm going to use it.

I mean, Fuck.

How could engineers use that fucker musically?

Any ideas?
