Wibbles Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 I took a listen to the original track ... ... absolutely dreadful. Was it made by AI? It might as well have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Sounds like most of the "modern" music on our overhead system at work. I'd rather hear anything the system plays from the previous century, all the way back to the 50s, than just about anything it plays from this one. (I don't know much about most music but I can hear the way things are mixed/etc and the sounds and the type of vocals and guess which side of the time border they came from). I'm tempted to try a remix of that so it would be so totally different that I wouldn't want to stab my brain having to hear it over and over again while doing it. Maybe mix it up with some Elven like the piece I did here (that is a <1minute section out of Behind You Lie Many Unseen): https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/behind-you-lie-many-unseen-no-really-just-the-elven-rock-section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are clearly unaware how much ungodly levels of shitty pop music were made in the 1950s (and every decade since). You have benefited from the Great Filter called 'Time'. Trust me on this - my family ran a vintage / memorabilia shop that played an endless rotation of records for this era - not the hits - just random crap. 99% of it is nightmarishly awful and all sounds the same. Like being stuck in a David Lynch movie set in an apocalyptic 60s white-suburban wasteland that might rival Pleasantville. Adding to this - AI created pop music would have been extremely easy in the 1950s and most of the 1960s, since record labels essentially just took whatever song was popular and would sign 10,000 other bands to try and recreate that same sound...over and over and over and over again. Literally 1000s of **albums** of nonsense replicas in what were maybe (maybe) 3 genres. At least today you get EDM, trap, Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggaeton, hip-hop, folk-pop, K-pop, RnB, alt-RnB, alt rock, pop-punk, indie pop, Latin Pop, Synthwave, Electro-pop, and on and on. There are times lately when the billboard 100 is almost half filled with world music. Having said that - the linked KSHMR song is terrible, even by KHSMR standards. Dude's made some decent club tracks, and is quite a good producer, but ya, this track is *****. Edited August 6 by Carl Ewing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes I am. And proud of it. I avoid listening to anything at all if I can help it, to let the stuff always in my head do it's thing instead (so much of it is lost because of the world outside). I have no choice about the overhead at work; if I could I'd disconnect all the speakers from the "music" system and leave just the pager. I doubt anything I do is any better, but...I do it anyway.

locrian Posted Monday at 03:24 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:24 PM (edited) Was anyone able to actually download the 'free' plugin? I followed all the instructions, received an email from Plugin Boutique, clicked on the Bloom KSHMR Lite image that said 100% off, was taken to the Plugin Boutique website, but the plugin is listed at $29. I thought maybe it would reduce when I checked-out, but it remained at $29. The only download link I received was for the stems. Does anyone know how to get it for free?

In that email, right below the image, it should say "Use Coupon – [THE COUPON]". I'm not going to post the coupon code here, but I'll mention that one might be able to guess it with some luck. It's a generic coupon code, same for all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awkward. Here is what it looks like in my email client: Maybe they had a bug in their code or mail text and fixed it after you received your email.

Amberwolf Posted Monday at 09:01 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:01 PM (edited) 3 hours ago, Fleer said: CouponShoupon All you have to do to get the coupon code is go to the link and sign up. You also get some free song stems of disputable use. (I'm still trying to think of something I can turn them into to submit) BTW, if you want some free Indian sounds, Black Octopus has a sampler here: https://blackoctopus-sound.com/product/free-indian-instrument-samples/ I have the full packs those are from, and were worth the tiny amount I paid for them during their deep sales (might've been a direct sale or maybe from APD, don't remember). The first one I used them in was Less Like A Whisper https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/less-like-a-whisper and have used them in a number of others since.
