The VSTi That I Would Pay $1,000 For

[toonertik]

The more I get older the more I realize old people are mostly a bunch of grumpy, grouchy and cranky winners.

Hmm.. a winner, as in winning the prize?
or whinger,
or winker.. oops, I can't spell!!!
or winer, as in one who drinks wine...
Personally>> I like all 4
But I still can not sing and would love a vocal_synth that could sing the way I would like to sing...
not like Steve wants, that can sound like so and so or si and si or whoever.
I remember having great hopes for vocaloid many years ago.. but
ROBOTS don't rule, YET!!!!!

As a child, I really thought old people with time became wise, mellow with wisdom and patience.

But nope, quite the opposite. The more I get older the more I realize old people are mostly a bunch of grumpy, grouchy and cranky winners.

And wagtunes pretty much admitted that.

This is BECAUSE you get wiser and eventually you realise that people are basically kunts! Apparently I can't spell either

As far as the old being impatient, some of us have lost patience for beating around the bush and patience for what we find to be bullshit. I'm actually much nicer in the day-to-day superficial dealings, in shops and standing online and as far as 'don't sweat the small shit' than I used to be. I'm so cool they comp me at Starbucks frequently.

Since I started writing I have only 'written' with one person, who was far better at his role (piano, ie., harmony, in those days it was all about coming up with something in real time) than I was at that time. I asked him to work with me on something in 2011 and he'd sold everything that will have made it possible to. So I 'did' him in the piano solo which is a better him than he would have brought in all likelihood.

I started as an arranger for a Beatlesy and then very Yes-influenced songwriter, writing almost not at all before I was ~24.

50 is NOT old except to young people IME

i find working with others difficult because most people require some kind of structure.
"what happens if we..." or "lets try this and see what happens..." doesn't go down well.
add to that my erratic body clock (meds induced) i find it hard to keep to any sort of timetable, again total lack of structure

that's why i like interweb collabs, just passing audio back and forth, no hurrys, no fuss, no expectations, just see where it goes

pehaps not old in the grand scheme of things, but probably too old for a tshirt with "daddy's little princess" or "mummy's little soldier" printed on the front.

he says, then realising hes sat there in a deadpool tshirt

[experimental.crow]

could you kids keep it down ...
i have to get up early , and yell at a cloud ...

It's what we tried to do every day back at the Overlook (where the lab for quite a lot of the LSD in SF was housed).
Sometimes we would determine a form. Once we spent a bunch of money (not mine o' course) in the studio with a Golden Section-derived plan.

Latter-day me, much older, working with people has been via email and I indicate what I want and where it goes in a track.

NO ONE is too old for a tshirt with "daddy's little princess". Certainly not you.

I don't know what that means.

[vurt]

i never knew my daddy

[braj]

i never knew my daddy

Hello, son. Sorry I never bought you a "daddy's little princess" t shirt.

[vurt]

that's not entirely true.
i met him when my son was born, then when my grandparents died.

Perhaps, the wisdom of years is people are bunch or assorted assholes and that is all that is to it.

Not pretty, I know, but you'll find that truth is seldom pretty.

One could argue this depends on man's entourage, but it'd be fair to assume you will meet assorted assholes in all hierarchies of society. "The higher - the worse" on quite a few occasions.

On another note, the older you become, the more difficult it gets to strip yourself of a great pleasure and privilege to tell people to go fock themselves. Especially when they repeatedly call for it.

Life is too short to shorten yourself of yet another good "fock off".

On yet another note, don't take vocals too seriously. And also, don't take yourself too seriously as a musician while you're at it.

Mozart wrote two songs named "Lick my ass" and "Lick my ass real clean". Real deal. Can't say "no shit", because, well, you know, there is shit in it, actually. Anyway, notice how it still sounds better than any of us could write in a hundred years. He's like, he almost predicted our generation of cloud musos and had a good laugh with all this.



Truth is, even his moronic, shitty canons are masterpieces in comparison to the shit you hear on the radio today. Old Wolfie was a great joker and you have to appreciate the irony.

Would you please also take notice of a considerable complication and delicacy of said musical pieces and how focused and disciplined the performing choirs are. And the applause in the end! Admit it, you'll never have this loud of applause for your shit. Well, Mozart does.





And there you have Vocaloid's Miku performing it



These choirs sound like they could easily end up in The Requiem, no? Not the libretto, no

[braj]

I want a robot singer that sounds like an old, pissed drunk Tom Waits.
