I wish I had the time to join in the song challenge but I don't.
My wife sings and plays bass and keys, I play piano, guitar, and a bit of drums (e-drums). We end up playing everything ourselves, for better or worse. I don't use loops because making up the various parts and recording them is my favorite part of creating music. I bought BlocsWave to use the loops as fodder for slicing in Koala but all I've ever done with the loops is to listen to the drum beats to learn and practice them. I'm certain our music would sound better if we used the loops instead of my janky beats. I don't use loops but I will use a synth preset if it fits or inspires.
I'm not interested much in mixing, though, so lots of songs are left undone for long periods of time. We have three finished but unmixed tracks lying around right now.
I have no concerns about the methods others use to create, whatever brings you joy is good, because god knows we can't be doing this for the money!
i make everything from scratch, when it comes to samoles i use just single shot drum sounds & fx’s (like hit, riser) - in half of cases i make even drums sounds by my own .. other than that fully synth sounds made by me from init preset - i just enjoy it .. sound design part of music making for me… zero chance i will ever touch AI for music making, that would be against the point why i do music .. so for me this is not dillema.. all i made is mine 🤣
I make different kinds of music. The more adventurous, less accessible stuff I make for myself tend to be sound design explorations with a lot of drones and randomization in sequences. I also enjoy making dance pop stuff, usually novelty music meant to get a laugh out of my kid. Those tend to be pretty shameless: Use AI, sample anything, use cheesy presets... that's the fun aspect of it.
I'm trying to make a song with just Amen and Blamsoft.

You need the nit comb Luke…
insert grooming joke here
“When is the music your own?”
When you refuse to share it with anyone. “My precious.”
Seriously, Pablo Picasso is widely quoted as having said that “good artists borrow, great artists steal.”
We stand on mountains of aggregated culture(s). Extending or confronting those cultures is the artists mission. Borrow, emulate, reject, ridicule, parody…
There are no rules
Or
Learn the rules and seek areas not yet well documented to assist the evolution of that art.
Ideally, the joy comes from the process and you get positive feedback from the right people and even better… the contempt of the gatekeepers.
Follow your bliss when you can and endure the torment to finish something if the muse never appears. The audience won’t ever have that experience with you.

I got a wav file off the site where the ogg file is. Can't remember how long it is though - that's what I've used anyway.
Double checked, it was the mp3 I've used too!
Nobody will notice.
I doubt anyone would really know many of my tracks come from the Amen thing anyway. To be honest, I'm not sure I could have noticed anyone posting so far having used it.
I think mine was pretty obvious — even though it was pitched down — I deliberately didn’t want to hide it.
I will have to listen to yours again later when I can, as I can’t remember any of the tracks posted jumping out at me and screaming Amen lol
Would have been a cooler video with an AI genereated thumbnail of Cook eating Schwabs breakfast. (Klaus Schwab is the guy where the "you'll own nothing and be happy" comment/meme originates from).
It's such a deep topic really, starting with ownership itself which is already a hack to own more than you can carry and defend and kinda calls for a religion (self police, you shall not steal) or actual police to make this work. The OG of ownership is posession, and if you posess more than you can carry or defend the environment takes it from you, this a natural balancing mechanism and law.
I understand both sides, I think it's a hard truth that physical products have a huge impact on the environment and calls for a winners and losers kind of society where not everybody can have access to everything, and that it's very hard to let go of stuff within the domain you love (like music production in our case). The question is if the people who are pushing dematerialization lead with a good example and implement it first..
It's one of the topics that got me interested in minimalism, digital nomadism etc.
Yes, very interesting topic isn’t it. Do look into some of the environmental costs of designing software though, as with all things, the hidden costs can often get overlooked.
Yeah there's a lot of greenwashing going on, but I still think the extremes aren't comparable. On the lowend it's much more problematic to release a private label product on amazon or dropship a product to someone in the west (both typically sourced in China) than getting your app you've developed on the computer you already own into the appstore.
In addition to the production itself, the private label product still needs a website listing and with it server space and shares many hidden costs with an app imo.
Yes some physical things need moving around. Moving all the manufacturing to a few parts of the world will come back to bite the west in the ass one day imo. But look at locally sourced and man made products, using skills almost lost to the world - can be very low in world energy use when compared to let’s say…an Apple designer making some app alterations. Some of the Apple hidden costs may be the social support staff to keep the Apple Boffin from going nuts or getting hurt feefee, the social breakdown as all the working age lads move away from such and such place just to make and deliver the Apple Boffins Latte, the dead children working in a mine in god knows where digging the materials to make the Apple Boffins array of latest tech that he needs to keep in touch with all the other Boffins and her husband who is off having an affair due to all the Apple Overtime she’s clocking in…..lol
Anyhoo…back to music discussion lol
The structure must be there for those who want to source locally, otherwise it's just too much work for a one man show and too much risk for somebody trying to switch over from a 9 to 5 working for some evil corp.
Not sure how it is now but when I was into physical products most entrepreneurs were using product search engines like Alibaba or Globalsources to even find the factories to connect with. If that's easier today and can be done remotely it's something I may get back into.
The truth is that the children in the mines aren't only mining for Apple, it's basically most computer chips that need the rare earth materials. Apple has just the most eyes on them because of their market position.
So it's also our beloved synths and hardware samplers which are often just a system on a chip + case and some knobs. I think general computing like the devices Apple makes is a lesser evil if it actually can replace many of those specialized boxes. The other best alternative is buying something on the used market that was already produced.
Too late, I'm searching for local suplliers instead of making music 😅
Yeah the structure of consumption is being biased towards all digital models. Not surprising, as while I like some digital consumption, I think there are hugh negatives. But it is too far off topic for this thread.
Just watched this and thought of this thread…
And then there’s this…
Electronic music was AI before AI. 🙂
A while back I came to view my computer music making as a partnership of sorts with software and hardware. We work together to make stuff. I like to think I’m the sentient one and that my input adds some value 🙂.
For me it’s probably the most “mine” when i start the creation process and during the process…. Choose my weapons… Start to twist and turn stuff…drop in magic with effects…. When the sequence begins….
However its a community effort… From the instrument makers to the people that help us figure out how to use them…and the musicians and noise makers who piece piece together the sounds we dig…
I assume as with most art… it’s all of ours and can never really be just mine….
Or belong to one…
It’s just us adding a lil flavor and glimpse of our creativity on canvas we all share..
Did that sound hippy enough? 🤣
When you make music everyday does it matter where you take inspiration from ? At the end of that day if it’s made you happy then wgaf? If it happens to make someone else happy then your #winning. We’re all standing on the shoulders of giants during any one part of the production process , unless your able to make your own euphonium that is 🤔🤔🤔 then your bloody incredible😆😉🥰👍
Imagine the disgust of medieval musicians when they actually started writing the notes down so anyone could play their compositions instead of having to memorise them all 😡😡😡
