Work of art. Is that a remarkably pristine 1st-gen Microsoft Natural Keyboard? (c. 1995 iirc) Cheers, Mike.

Stunning performance, but I might argue that Gershwin's unique legacy is more evident in his compositions than his (wonderful) playing. As well as this, there's: Summertime, Embraceable You, Lady Be Good, Fascinating Rhythm, Someone to Watch Over Me, They Can't Take That Away From Me, The Man I Love... and an opera or two. Cheers, Mike.

How can Spotify tell Swedish pseudo jazz easy listening from other types of pseudo jazz easy listening? Definitely. NHØP (albeit Danish) springs to mind. Cheers, Mike.

Separate mic pre for XLR 3 and 4? Hide it on the floor or velcroed to the back of your stand somewhere? Cheers, Mike.

What are your maximum dimensions? Thomann's mixer section has a nice set of filters, including total channels/mic channels/XLR out. I put 3 mic/6 total/outputs on XLR/built-in FX and got this result (assuming the link pastes successfully): https://www.thomann.de/gb/analog_mixers.html?feature-57963-first=6&feature-57963-last=8&oa=pra&feature-57964-first=3&feature-57964-last=8&feature-57969[]=XLR&feature-57984-first=1&feature-57984-last=2&gk=PAMIAM&category[]=PAMIAM&cme=true&filter=true Good luck. Cheers, Mike.

This. It sounds like it was (very intensively) trained on "sound" not "music". (You can hear that it decides to add the decay-tail of one piano chord a few milliseconds after the initial portion of another - because nothing is telling the AI "this is a note being played NOW") There is a field of natural language research that focuses on "attention" (which words in a prompt relate to other words). This is used in GPT solutions as a pre-processor before the generative part. Something similar is lacking in music AI (at least all the music AI I've heard) - there's no concept of short/medium/long-term progression: call/response phrases, tension/release, verse/chorus (or movement, whatever) structure, etc. And without it, AI music just sounds meandering and aimless. Cheers, Mike.

Going a bit wider than Beato here, but I've recently seen a few videos of "Youtube Quitting" - Adam Neely being one. I can't help feeling: if you don't want to make videos, don't make videos. You don't need to make a video about how crap it is that making videos is crap. And I always mention one example: Martin Keary (head of Muse)'s Tantacrul channel updates rarely, but with detailed, long-form videos about interesting (to me) subjects. I would much prefer to watch the kind of output that that Keary and Craig @Anderton are creating, compared to late-period Tom Scott (content creator, not saxist) popping into some infrastructure project on a weekly basis to crank out content for The Algorithm to consume. (By the way, when Tom gets his teeth into a passion project, the results are remarkable - check out his 18 minutes on *the title sequence* to an outtakes show). Cheers, Mike.

I was about to, but wrong timezone... interesting read. Cheers, Mike.

She Caught The Katy has an awesome bassline. Cheers, Mike.

That HAIM tune is great. Very Fleetwood Mac in its influences. Cheers, Mike

I was fortunate enough to visit BBC studios and meet Radiophonicist Roger Limb. My best friend at school came from an acting family, and had connections... Cheers, Mike.

Thinking about it, it's: SHAVE...A...CUT - TWO BITS Cheers, Mike.

Bluetooth pedal? But yeah, most musos have it easier than us when it comes to reading. Cheers, Mike.

I've seen "artist's tape" recommended by transcribers, music librarians etc for this purpose. Cheers, Mike.

Deleted again. I think that file host (file.io) is unhappy about something. Appreciate your efforts! Cheers, Mike

Of your generation? Cheers ,Mike.

In a hundred rehearsal rooms this evening, the following conversation will take place: - Keyboard player: "it's a 3-2 son clave" - Rest of band: "huh?" - Keyboards: "you know, like a Bo Diddley" - Rest of band: "Oh yeah, I know what you mean" Cheers, Mike.

Big fan of Joe Williams. I love his performance on "Stop Loving You". Cheers, Mike.

I love that little lick. Although there's some debate in the Phillinganes vs Omartian contingent as to who played it - discussed here Cheers, Mike.

Came here to ask: "greatest thread about a video about a video of "the greatest jazz pianist of our generation" of our generation?" Cheers, Mike.

Same here. I would similarly appreciate any insight into what's being played. Cheers, Mike. And of course now you know, it's obvious and you can't unhear it. Cheers, Mike.

Do you have another MIDI keyboard/device (even a DAW)? Check if all keys transmit MIDI. Cheers, Mike.

It's typically possible. Slide fishing line between the logo and the bodywork and work it back and forth, as if it's a "saw". Legal? Yes in UK - some manufacturers even offer debadging as a factory option. My science teacher at school had a 1st gen Golf GLi with "GTi" badge on it. Cheers, Mike.

This. If we cast the net wide enough to include Stevie, Payne and Earl Van Dyke (all worthy nominations alongside many other names in this thread), we put Emerson in something of a niche. Cheers, Mike.

Also something that has existed throughout history. I'm going to stop now, my mind is taking me to political places... Cheers, Mike.
