Holy crap - NATIVE INSTRUMENTS ENTER PRELIMINARY INSOLVENCY!

Wow.. I’m sure he was limited in what he could say but he should have started the damage control literally the day the news broke and went public, not days later.

In a case of exceptional timing, Koda Sampler, a new potential competitor to Kontakt was announced at NAMM, sounds very promising.

There is IMHO no lack of samplers.
Kontakt has only cast its shadow over all of them.

Meanwhile, we're making sampled programs using an 18 mm wrench, a hacksaw, and elbow grease in our beloved MPC os. Long live the Stone Age.

At least you actually do things in the Stone Age. In the AI Age they tell us that THE way ti "make music" is to prompt a chat bot.

Long live the Stone Age.

Is Ave still talking about how great AI is for making music?

I saw a recent vid of his about AI (I’ve been going down the AI rabbit hole trying to understand where the world is heading lol) and holy hell what an uninspiring way to make music

Using chat GPT to tell you how to prompt a sample that would sound like Marvin and then using that prompt in some other AI music creator to then download that and put into your $3k SAMPLER to do some basic chopping and lay over drums he downloaded into his $3k SAMPLER. I **** gate modern music making

Is this what people are doing with the XL? With all the bells and whistles and people just doing basic uninspiring AI bullshit

Now I remember why I never watched that dudes channel

The whole AI slop is a fraud, and when it comes to music it's a gigantic, hummungous fraud.

It's like having a magic wand that creates content for you, so you don't have to bother about training yourself or developing any talent.

Then that content goes nowhere because nobody is interested in it. You can put it on Spotify and have some bots promoting it. Great job overall.

Seriously, maybe I'm getting old but I still don't get it

PS: any platform or channel that serves any kind of AI Free Certified content will have my attention.

I stopped watching Ave after the whole Ben Jordan thing. Dudes a clown that can be funny & make some good points at times but then he'll do some clown ass shit to mess that up. BYE!
