At the suggestion of several members, I have added some requisite screening questions for newly registering members. Registrants' responses will remain private.

HS Teoh replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"See, you can one-up Compressorhead. They have robot players but human composers (and programmers); now you can start a competing band with both robot players and robot composers! ;-)

"Dang, someone beat me to it!
But I was thinking more along the lines of starting a 'band' that churns out very generic but catchy and effective songs, all while there really aren't any living, breathing members in the band or even writing the music.…"

Wesley Rogers replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"I hope you're right, but AI seems to be progressing like a California forest fire during El Niño. And just this morning someone on Reddit, who was joking, but still, said that I must have used AI to write my 572 book on timpani scoring. Like I said,…"

"Maybe I'll start an "AI band."
You mean something like this? ;-)
My standpoint remains on the side that tries to avoid any naive views out of bias and inherent hatred of the tech.
I do not have any hatred of the tech. My main motivation is…"

David Lilly replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"Perhaps in classical or contemporary pieces the AI is incapable of drawing a convincing or interesting structure. But . . . what about pop / mainstream music?
Structure in that regard is a piece of cake. I just "made" a convincing satirical pop-punk…"

Rowy replied to Dave Dexter's discussion I'm on the radio soon. Bonzer!
"I'm studying TCL/TK. I've decided to challenge the AI experts with a combination of AI and an expert system. For that purpose, I need 100 compositions in my own steady style in midi. I'm almost there. As you might have guessed, I'm getting a bit…"

Rowy replied to Dave Dexter's discussion I'm on the radio soon. Bonzer!
"It's the same in all forums. It was even like that in the old newsgroups and bulletin boards. There's always a small band of people who post regularly and keep a forum alive. That doesn't mean the rest of the members aren't interested. As for…"

HS Teoh replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"From what I've heard, AI is able to ape the style of a handful of famous composers but cannot yet at any rate recapture the spark which makes the better works from such composers immortal. Especially structurally, they seem to be all over the place.…"

John Driscoll replied to John Driscoll's discussion Andaluza (de Falla Orchestration)
"Re-upping this only because I recently uploaded another version with a ton of more volume & reverb automation--two steps in my workflow that I've really been focused on in the past few months...
I find that the volume automation in particular is…"

"explanation accepted, Dave -- I'll do a YouTube search as suggested. As for your last paragraph -- I wouldn't disagree, there! There are plenty of people on certain other forums (esp. TC) who are just the same). Of course some of us are better…"

"I hadn't forgotten. I can only post replies on my phone, which puts me off doing so in many situations. I appreciate you listening - I had my piece "Hiraeth" played on KUSC in 2021 and I got back in touch late last year with the presenter regarding…"

David replied to John Driscoll's discussion Udio AI - Short Opera Scene in the Style of Richard Strauss
"I don't really share Dave's pessimism about AI.If AI can produce the commercial stuff that humans currently do then it will inevitably happen because it's cheaper. And someone still has to programme the AI so I expect we'll be more in a world of…"

Wesley Rogers replied to HS Teoh's discussion "Standard" paper sizes for orchestral (conductor's) score?
"I use 11 x 17 for a full orchestra conductor's score. If it's a small enough group I'll use 10.5 x 14.  And if it's an even smaller group I'll use 9 x 12.
But what I won't do is use tiny staff sizes. I use big enough paper to prevent that.
Wesley"

  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
  • It seems the consensus was reaching a crescendo, so I had to dust off the Gold Codes:)
  • Anyone else having issues posting links/embeds in replies? I can't for the life of me get them to work in responding to Rowy's Halloween thread... I just get an error message each time. Seems to work ok posting a new thread?
