I made another post on this, which I'll leave as a comment here, I guess.

I usually don't enjoy lengthy lectures, but this one had some good stuff in it, like (lel) encoding images into the audio:

Already taken some advice and started building new processing chains. And I'm not in my native DAW (Ableton), so my process is already upended from the getgo. I'm in a new place physically, too.

I'm excited to get back into production. It's happening.

kleinbl00, I think you hate funk, so I'm worried you won't like a lot of stuff I make. No worries, there should still be some weird things I get up to that you might dig. Currently characterizing latency for different configurations of gear, 'cuz there will be some form of live performance. I think I'm in a trio, but that was before covid. It's mostly me, for now. Been writing new lyrics, and got some old unused stuff. Do you have any fave hardware builds, like custom? mics, amps, pedals, mixers, synths, etc.? Let's not even start to get into plug-ins again, or else more of my covid check could wind up spent on software.

Anyone can post demo reels here. Please do. Yep, during times of crisis, some may solicit demo reels from internet strangers.. But nil, PM me something, if you don't wanna post it in public domain

I absolutely love the way the slightly off-kilter horizontals in the pentagrams match the tonal shift.

I mean "duh" but it really adds to the effect for me.

Makes me wonder how many undiscovered embedded pictures there are. Quick search gives me this - I only knew about the AFX face and the Cat.

not a "duh", I hadn't noticed that! Yeah I guess that's the most obvious glissando-like bit, because it's the most gradual, and the others kinda oppose each other in frequency space while drawing the pentagram borders, one sweeping up, while the other, down, but kinda symmetric in time. I kinda wanna load it up, but my DAW is DONE :(

It's putting a black and white image into a reverse-Fourier signal added on top of the mix. Sounds like white noise, some of it, I think. What's truly weird is that we like noise in our mixes a lot of the time.

This is just worshipping satan so hard right now. Of course we use maths to do it
