Cost of living crisis?

What's around 10 times the cost of coffee?

I was shocked to see this in the supermarket this morning, but, apart from the huge markup, it is correct.


Harris Farm can do it for 'less', ha ha:

DAW Attestation Engine

 whoa!

https://trustnodelogic.web.app/

Ableton Live (.als) • Logic Pro (.logicx) • FL Studio (.flp) • HPS-1.0 Self-Sovereign Attestation & Integrity Check

All my Ableton Live pieces are 0% AI right now, all me. 

But I am going to do more work on some of the best Suno tracks, to make records with Elastic Stage, so this should be very interesting.

Self declared AI provenance, cryptographically sealed. 

Here is the shareable link for verification for a little piece I just did. 

Passed - - phew!! Of course? Easy to overlook things. 

I'd forgotten that Baby Audio's Smooth Operator Pro mixer, which I like a lot at the moment, is rated as AI enhanced, but this isn't considered compositional so is excluded. 

Human origination & performance; AI restricted to post-production utility tools.

Casual neglect and theft

Disgusting, greedy practices.

Compulsory super works, but why should commercial financiers profit from it, waste, diminish and otherwise ruin people's lives. 

Surely there is a better way.

Ableton Live .als file reader

For anyone with years of extensive Ableton project work, this is very helpful indeed!

/alfa/releases

Need to manage our metadata more easily. Do not need to have to open Ableton and trawl through each project separately.
