those whistles are actually damon writing another album while being interviewed

@T.I.L.P Год назад

I'm still not over that video of him showing Zane Lowe how he wrote Clint Eastwood. Got to love his honesty.

@TheFakeyCakeMaker Год назад

Loved this. What so many muso journalists miss is that these guys are musicians, they want to talk about their music not their private lives. We want to hear it. Loved listening to Damon talk about his process and how he gets to the places he does with song writng. Very inspiring.

@kentbyron7608 Год назад

Garage band is underrated for its simplicity. But the elegant user interface is designed brilliantly with great thought put into how to keep the interface simple, and it has far more features and track count than even the Beatles had. That's a mind blower to me, and it's available free on all iPhones and iPads. The amount of creativity possible with GarageBand is up to the artist. As far as software design is concerned Garageband is a masterpiece.

@Underfist101 Год назад

@yanmetcaluire Год назад

Can't compare myself with Damon but I play Garageband for maybe 12 years and this software still gives me inspiration... A free soft and you can make a song ! Who told a Mac was expensive when you realise all the stuff you get inside to create your world !

@iawnlad Год назад

if youre in damons position, as in working with a producer when it comes to making an album, garage band is really all you need to get your ideas to come to fruition. I use logic over here and i couldnt get it to open for about a week as i couldnt log into my icloud. so during that i uses garage band and was completely surprised in its depth.

The problem in recent years is that live recordings with real performers are so, so, so heavily processed (compression, velocity, quantitation, etc) that, at the end of the pipeline, you hear that snare drum, and it sounds like if it was sampled one time and then cut and pasted to the grid.

@suites.74 Год назад

My take with AI - you can't "REPLACE" the human but you can maybe 80% "REPLICATE" the human. If we have humans to keep making original content, then we can feed these models with new information and they can do cool stuff. But if we get lazy and stop thinking and try to let computers do all the thinking, we'll go around in circles and end up dumber.
