Natural silence: A challenge
The files linked here are both 24-bit/96khz wavs (for you snobs) and mp3 files (for you casuals...or people on their smartphone) that I recorded yesterday from traveling around 45 miles via mountain bike through Piedmont Wildlife Refuge in search of "natural silence". AKA the sound of nature with no human interference or pollution. Something that sounds reasonably easy to achieve until you listen to nature with mic and headphones. 😂😔
My next video should have more context regardi...

So! Existentialism project:
I'm still short about $1,500 from my minimum budget on Patreon alone (honestly this is SO MUCH better than I initially expected), so I've been looking at alternative ways to fill in the gap:
- The first was the show getting a budget from a streaming service. Think like, a popular video hosting site with the word "Premium" after it. I'm a huge fan of the budget bump, but not a huge fan of giving up creative control and hiring.
- The second bein...

I have a Rust server!

If you leave your 64bit Steam ID I can whitelist you, assuming that I even setup the whitelist plugin correctly (if not then it's public). Decay is turned off for those who don't want to spend 24 hours a day on it.
Don't have Rust? Wait! This isn't necessarily a permanent thing. Some generous members on Discord have dedicated servers that they could use to host virtually any game we like. Which begs the question: What would you wan...
Onward!
-So, that's done. 😅♀️
It's kind of weird to see such a huge project, creating so many comments and offsite links, somehow perform only half as good as the Cobalt8 review did in the first day. I'm not sure I'll ever figure out what makes YouTube's algorithm tick!
Obviously the response to the last video is both horrifying and glorious. Fortunately the unexpected comments and messages were all extraordinarily positive. Not like "oh yah other men are douchebags" messages, but l...
Deep Learning On The Yamaha Montage (9pm FRIDAY)
Doing the stream a day later this week as my Moderna booster is Thursday morning and I fully anticipate it to kick my ass for 24 hours. :)

VCV Patches from livestream
Hey all. As promised, here are the patches. None are terribly good. I feel like I operate at 20% potential when streaming lol.
2021-02-19 05:23:37 +0000 UTC View PostWeekly Stream #8: VCV Rack - Generative Edition (9:30pm ET)
I feel like I didn't make anything terribly useful in the last VCV Rack stream. This time I'm going to try to make a generative patch using free modules, then post the patch files for the "preset" tier in case they want to recreate a similar patch but don't want to follow step by step. :)
Ask any questions here and I'll get to them at the beginning of the stream!
"Where Are The Female Producers?" project notes:
For months I've been in pre-production for a video similar to the Spotify or Behringer vids, but regarding gender in the music production world. Weirdly, some of the things I initially focused on, such as the name "Gearslutz" potentially being a welcome mat for unwelcoming behavior, are actually now in the process of being tackled and changed.
Another time-eater has been interviews. The fact is that I don't know wtf I'm talking about on this subject because I haven't exper...

So clearly...obviously...I am still not up to gen-z speed regarding the Discord server. I've seen a lot of requests for mods to do things that I don't really know how to do, so I suppose it's time to ask for help.
If anyone is a Discord expert, or really just knows what's what, and is in front of the server frequently enough to be helpful with this, let me know!
I have a very long list of Steam keys I could send your way, or wouldn't even mind paying in a gift card of some sort...

10 Found-Sound Kits
Heyyooo.
So a while ago I made a few found-sound kits for the Squarp Rample module, and then made some more for my own future music needs. Now they're yours too!
