      Ha. Am I trippin, or am I illin? I just didn't find much to get excited about in this synth. I've got a ton of analog patches, Omnisphere has probably the best and largest collection of truly authentic analog synth patches out there. Check it out if you can. Anamorph didn't offer me anything new worth getting excited about. Lots of the same ol same ol.

But my condition acts up even when i am not doing certain tasks and stress and lack of sleep can make it worse. It makes my body move in painful and awkward ways randomly. I do have calm moments but the violent episodes come back with vengeance.

    Judging from Steve Gadd's reaction at Tee Bag, this recording is likely from the early days of the Japan tour. The classic Smokin' in the Pit was recorded at the end of this tour, and Gadd's drumming seems to have made a huge leap forward in that short period of time.

    I would respectfully disagree. To say to anyone who has an issue with it, "They are just reacting on feelings" is false. Yes maybe a large portion, but not all. Your point on copyright, I do agree, but Udio totally takes hands on instrument out of it. And before someone says what do you think "Computer Music was" Is that not a form of AI. Yes, it was. But there was a well known limit that still allowed and even pushed for human creativity with hands on instruments. With Udio, all you need to know is how to do is spell. Yep, no instruments needed! Imagine a future world where no one will need to know what a Analog Synth is or what it even looks like.

    Hi Paul, I was with Taxi for a few years, so I can throw my tuppence with in here. All of what Paul has said here is true, but misses the point in my opinion. Its not a scam, so lets just say that now. Is it value for money...depends on where you are with your writing. Taxi has managed to create a system whereby the members feel like they have achieved a win just for getting a forward passed them. I fell for this illusionary sense of achievement but after a while started to realise it wasnt amounting to a whole hill of beans. I can underpin Paul's point that the screeners dont get it right all the time. In fact, I would say that there is a real mixed bag of quality amongst the screeners. The head screener is a decent fellow and knows his stuff, but unlike Paul my experience is the head screener may agree theres nothing wrong with the track, but the deadline has gone. Some of the briefs are for a specific project and are obvious by the written criteria, some/majority seem to be just generic space fillers for libraries - these are the ones you may/may not ever get a call back from as they simply arent for any specific project (certainly nothing you cant achieve with a reelcrafter reel link and a mail to a library). There is the usual forcefield of defences used at this point online if you see posts elsewhere - your material isnt good enough (one of my tracks that was returned by Taxi which I had just been approached by a publisher for, who commissioned an album of that genre from me) - not prolific enough - well, this is true of course...the more you submit, the more chance of a forward, but thats just obvious and how prolific can you be? - Production quality is low - also true but often if you check out the forward blog you will wonder how some of them get a forward when yours was rejected. Summary...it's not just about researching and doing yourself v Taxi. The libraries are already there and if you have a showreel of a certain genre, why slog it out trying to get passed the gatekeeper Taxi, just send an email direct to the publisher. In summary its not a scam, but its probably a business model that thrives on return business, which if you were getting publishing deals left right and centre you wouldnt have time to spend with Taxi listings- so its slightly at odds with itself. Who would I recommend Taxi to - if you havent ever written to brief before and need some practice.

In fact I actually bought both vespertone and anamorph because of your playing (in parts, particularly the last ten or so patches) and another video on vespertone because, despite your negative review (respect your opinion, this isn’t a dig at all) I believe I can use (and have used) at least half a dozen or so sounds, which, for the money I paid, is defo worth it.

    The legal argument that a tool that can generate pre-existing works is therefore breaching copyright is absolutely laughable.

    AI music is very good for what it is. However, the overall sound quality is still absolute garbage tier, compared to professionally made or recorded tracks. I don't mind listening to AI music for the memes as it has some very good novelty to it. However, youtube keeps pushing to me mixes into my discovery queue that are AI music, and its very irritating, as I have to keep changing it. It'll be interesting to see how it is in 10 years. Also you describe the piano as realistic sounding, yet there are clearly artifacts present that massively distort the quality like at 15:40 that gives it almost a half organ sound. 100% you'd know that its AI made.

    Fact is, Taxi is only interested in cornpop; the kind of obvious drivel someone with poor musical taste likes. Anyone a bit edgy, a bit left of centre, anything experimental is not suitable for them and they will reject it. Better than charging $5 to keep the volume down, they should ask for auditions. Anyone middle of the road accepted, people either who are out of tune, cannot write a song/music or edgy artists would be rejected and save themselves money.
