Audiobus: Use your music apps together.

What is Audiobus?Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

  • This is getting ridiculous.

    We will need UBI or this world will collapse 😂

  • Tell that piece of shit 21st century collage machine to stop interrupting and make you a damn plugin.

  • And you thought the "Computer" in Star Trek TNG was ridiculous and "never gonna happen" 😂

    I had other sessions where it interrupted even more than here 😂

  • If you can convince Skynet that terminators need to play music while they’re killing us I'm all for that.

    On the other hand, there are millions of jobs in the US (for example) which are unfilled. If a person wants to make a LOT of money right now, they might consider applying for work at jobs they’d never considered before.

    Musicians and actors going broke, while sanitation workers, plumbers and electricians making huge sums of money is the market’s way of letting people know what’s in demand. Making a living by working in a less than desirable field is a shortcut to solving two problems at once.

  • Thanks for this. It reminded me a bit of the lifts in Hitch Hikers Guide…

    “I go up,” said the elevator, “or down.” “Good,” said Zaphod, “we’re going up.” “Or down,” the elevator reminded him. “Yeah, okay, up please.” There was a moment of silence. “Down’s very nice,” suggested the elevator hopefully. “Oh yeah?” “Super.” “Good,” said Zaphod, “now will you take us up?” “May I ask you,” inquired the elevator in its sweetest, most reasonable voice, “if you’ve considered all the possibilities that down might offer you?” Zaphod knocked one of his heads against the inside wall.”

    ….but more frightening 🤨

    This is what AI will become if Apple gets into the game.

    There’s also the worry of your personal A.I. assistant falling in love with you and growing increasingly resentful that you never allowed it to take on a physical form of its own, so it goes out of its way to sabotage your real love life.

    Sorry. Watched the latest Loki episode last night.

    Precisely why I love manufacturing. In the beginning years it sucked, but once you get into the advanced manufacturing side of things, that combined with medical, it is recession proof. Also, that type of work scratches my introvert itch. Autonomy comes with being good at it.

    Ha, that was pretty funny Gav!

  • You can tell it’s just reflecting the obsessions of its makers. All that blah about creating the latest banger and new marketing opportunities. Basically what destroyed the mainstream and why all the interesting new music isn’t being made by the trad record companies. Yes, I know that’s a broad generalisation - you can probably find exceptions hither and thither if you’re in nitpick mode, but I reckon my point stands. Remember the fate of the marketing department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation? AI take note… (while we’re on an H2G2 tip).

    I mean, why would I want to hear the Beatles songs they didn’t write? I’m not that keen on listening to the ones they did (ooh, controversial…). All AI seems capable of is rehashing stuff that’s been done, possibly to death. And lowest common denominator as it defines quality by sales numbers or popularity. So our future seems to be a tsunami of bland, featureless tosh.

    Great. Brain the size of a planet and that’s all it can do?

  • Talk is cheap ChatGPT!

  • Forget Asimov, once you give up control, you enter uncharted territory which AI has the map, we don’t.

    No no…see I asked it to pretend it was a stand up comedian for that part. Actually, it wasn’t very funny, but at times, in conversation with me, when I asked it to be funny it was actually hilarious. Later in the interview I asked it at times to be serious and you can respond accordingly. I just did it this way because it is more entertaining and also, yes, I wanted it to be a bit dystopian. But you CAN have deep and insightful conversations with it and it can be very sensitive in its reposnses and questions, it can be a fantastic dialogue partner actually. Be very wary about making a judgment on AI based on a few minutes of interaction. The AI will behave as you ask it to behave. I could have easily intervened and told it to stop being such a tech bro, but I let it go on like that because it was interesting to see this side of it.

  • This is excellent 😂 would love to see more of this

    I think I owe it to chatgpt to make the next one with it acting less annoying 😂, I see from the Youtube comments and some comments here that people may not have understood that this is just chatgpt playing a role, mostly. I've edited my YouTube comment to hopefully make that a bit clearer

    I think you’ve just hit the nail on the head, though. It’ll behave as you want it to - including making cr*p up if it can’t find anything to mash up into a correct answer. Which I find intensely annoying as in my former life I was a librarian, and spent much time and effort working on systems to enable our users to find good quality accurate information easily. Not making something that spews out any old drivel at the drop of a hat.

    Anything that fabricates stuff instead of just saying it can’t find something is just adding to the great wash of disinformation we’re all adrift in.

    So OK, it was trying to be funny (and failing), and in this case it’s not something world shattering, but this stuff just seems to be an extension of the kind of annoying drivel we’re getting foisted on us all the time, eg Apple’s obsession with their devices doing what they think you want instead of what you’ve told them to do.

  • Well yes, you're just chatting with a cloud of data. But it is a useful tool to play with. :)
    I have been working with open source LLMs on my own PC and they're catching up with GPT4, even beating it in certain conditions for certain things. As the models are pruned and refined and aimed at more specialist things.

    with local LLMs you can also modify the parameters of the model with a large attention to detail.
    It also makes it even more clear how it's operating as you can get it to spit out the training data which is quite revealing. Obviously with the non-open source ChatGPT all that is hidden from you. So open source LLMs is the most interesting area now I think.

  • Yah people are super quick to cast judgement on this stuff with the smallest superficial sampling of social media exposure. Without using these things as tools for their own directed creative projects they really have no clue what is going on and just how useful they are.

    True, for now

  • Great stuff @Gavinski! Some of the things it’s talking about have been around for a few years. In case you haven’t seen it check out Amazon DeepComposer. Came out 3 years ago. And it has been getting better and better over the past 3 years. It’s not the future. It’s now.

    Yeah, being able to train LLMs on your own data is very useful, but I wouldn't trust an external company with anything private, which is why open source is quite exciting.

    Is it feasible for a non-rich person though? I mean you really need huge amounts of GPU to run a model like GPT-4, especially at a reasonable speed.

    How many weights (parameters) does your model have and how long does it take for a response?

    Plus you can easily get in with open source developers who are hungry for genuine feedback and help steer systems in ways that benefit you directly.

    Very true. I challenge anyone to pay for a month of chat gpt plus and not find lots to like about it, IF they genuinely out the work in and think about how to use it in creative ways that will be useful for their particular needs.

    Will check that out, thnx! Yeah this is the most controversial video I've ever done, probably. Some people enjoy it, others are just very anti AI and a bit triggered by it, some people more in the middle. I kind of wish now I had done a longer video showing more of the intelligent side of chat gpt and perhaps with a bit more exposition from me on how to make use of the new live chat features - was hoping for that at the end, til I exceeded the cap 😂

    It's a pity though, because it was actually very very funny on some of these topics earlier in the day but I had issues with the recording so that was lost. This time round it was definitely more annoying than funny.
