Hi Old Joad, thanks for listening and leaving both your comments. Glad you enjoyed the song and found the imagery awesome. It really was fun to make and evolve the snake(s) on the journey !

Hi Nigel Thanks for listening and for your comment! Glad you enjoyed it and thought it was cool! It was fun to make

I think it sounds great, fun, bouncy, made me think of old timey mixed with ska ha. I really enjoyed it. Well put together, great playing and singing.

Hi steve@baselines Thanks for listening and your feedback. I agree the AI are hilarious attempts and it was fun to engage with the free video programs and see the outcomes - extra legs, extra tails etc. Thanks for letting me know you love the video and the snakes journey and the ideas in this ! I needed something fun after the last song ha....

Hi equality, thanks for listening and for your comment. I appreciate the mix check for me. I didnt really feel anything lyrically for this one, just an instrumental experiment and AI video making experiment put together. Yes the video has a very AI look and is kinda goofy at times, I really enjoyed playing with the free programs. I tried to make them fit timing wise with my limited knowledge of video editing at the moment. I like interesting and odd so thanks !

Just listening to the new version, didnt hear the first one. As far as critiquing the mix, I wasn’t hearing the bass too well, I think it would sound better with the drums and bass a bit more up in the mix, and if the guitars were not so far left and right as Paul mentioned. I think the guitar intro is a little muddy and the reverb (?) is too much, sounds like a different space from the drums with it. I don’t think the guitar sounds like that anywhere else that noticeably. Good song, I like the vocals and backing vocals, and the mood of the song and the singer and guitar parts. Overall very well done, just my suggestions for a few tweaks.

Sounds great as always, some parts I wish the vocals stood out more, definite hit!

I tried to listen but got that my browser cant play this, tried another browser, was offered to download it or download programs to listen to it, so I wasnt able to listen to it without downloading something

Sounds very good !

Pretty funny hadnt seen that, but I did see the real thing. I was 18 miles from the meltdown, grabbed my young sons and left for 2 weeks, even after the president went there. Turns out they werent telling the public the truth. Microsoft is reopening it to power their stuff. The band I was in The SkaMatics (rhythm guitar and bass) played at a protest concert on City Island, Harrisburg PA called Rock Against Radiation some time after.

So I wanted to try to make a song using only Rigid Audio Cinematrix, and it is mostly that (some chopping, backwardsing, fx etc) but I did have to add a synth from Sampletank and Augmented Mallets, and the drums are Addictive Drums 2. I wanted to try making an AI video using the free ones, so I made some snake images in various free image generators and then some snake videos and a storyline evolved...The magical metallic snake has a journey from the forest and meets with a shaman in a Sedona AZ like setting, then sees the city and goes there, goes into the club and has a fun dance with a pretty woman, then leaves in the night, travels back to his home in the desert at the snake petroglyph rock. Kinds just happened. I am amused by the oddities of the AI, limbs that appear, fish that come out of the snake body, tails that come and go, so I dont mind. Not trying for an oscar. And there are many inconsistencies in the snakes appearance because I used maybe 6 different free image to video or text to video programs. Some have very long waits for a 5 second clip so I went with things as they arrived. I dont think the music necessarily represents the video story but are well enough together, as they were made independent of each other. The video program crashed and I lost it all and had to redo it. I am also not too experienced at video programs. I listened to the song way too much in all this, so if the mix is in need of something let me know. Thanks for listening/watching/discussing what I hope will be an amusing few minutes.

Yes the low end is good. Its still booming nice but not overpowering to me. I think it sounds good overall. Still reminds me of Gaudi

Thank you very much for sharing your experience and guidance! It’s the most helpful and useful thing I’ve seen

Im not familiar with Chinese outfits, my mind just went to ZZ Top. Virtuoso.

I have no idea what a dunderhead is either but I went with it cause this had me dundered. Thanks for the infos, should be fun... or at least informative.

Interesting experiment. AI is there to play with so why not. I have no idea what you did or what AI did, but the vocals were what stood out to me really as hissy, like needing deessing. Maybe just my ears, the pollen is horrible at the moment. If I heard this in a movie I wouldnt think oh this is an AI generated song, and I do expect we will be hearing more and more AI generated music placements. I am trying AI video generating and its really fun. I havent tried music yet but probably sometime will. I like the song. Thanks for sharing it.

I was reading about using ai for technical issues and this is so weird I asked duck ai and this is some of what it said… Importing MIDI or Audio Files: If you imported a MIDI or audio file that contained a large number of markers or if the file was corrupted, it could create numerous markers in your project. Automation or Scripting: If you used a script or a plugin that automatically generates markers based on certain criteria, it might have created an excessive number of them. also a corrupted project file might cause this Interesting

You’re not the only dunderhead, I got it in the humble bundle and it is confusing to know what is complete or what has uninstalled stuff in the sounds area. Takes some detective work to know. And some stuff shows installed or not installed differently between the my products list on the website and my ik product mgr. Also I have bad internet. Stopped exploring for now.

I was wondering too.

Nice rhythms, I enjoy the complexity. Sounds very good, nice mix, good playing. It has soul so I think its worth more effort.

Engaging intro. Nice mix of highs and lows that I appreciate in a mix. Good dynamics and contrasts. At times the fx got a little blurry but likely how you wanted it. Nice piece

(is only 6db at 35hz, rolloff starts at 50hz AFAICT on the scale (hard to tell on it's gui), presumably is down by 24db by the time it hits 0hz. It definitely makes a huge difference in the VSPAN display down there, and I can tell there is some difference in the feel, even though my system can't reproduce all that stuf down there. I tried a bunch of things with the sonitus eq after this to match it up to the LP64, but nothing I can do with it makes it cut out the low end unless I start way up in the 100hz+ range, which negatively affects everything. So....how does it sound now? Too much low end cut out? Not enough? Looked today but I'm not sure where this revision is ?

Good luck with the next Eq-ing. My problem is corel video studio. Ive read its crashy. I just downloaded davinci free and watching videos to learn it. I used the Microsoft one in photos to do the single image with a song thing you mention.

Yeah using the eq should have done something. And problems with vsts, no fun. Im working on a video project that wont let me add anything new, these things can be amazing or amazingly frustrating !

Clever. Kinda funky and fun. Unserious and put together well. Sounds great. I do like it!
