Jeff Bezos wants to interface human brains and microchips. Voice control is for newbs.

If the lace is neutral, does that mean it's not very alluring?

No

I know a few people, my mom included who as they aged suffered from macular degeneration (and other vision problems) rendering them pretty much sightless. I find it interesting that everyone is thinking about flaws and inconveniences while missing a bigger picture here. So to answer the question I hope I never have to use a voice operated DAW, but I have thought what I might do if I lost my vision and such a thing would be fantastic in that situation. Fortunately I dont have any of the signs, did just have my eyes completely tested in June and things are good...but still, you never know.

Having to use a voice operated DAW would be a huge PITA, but it would beat constantly having to wait for someone to give assistance or give up my passion entirely. Of course a lot would still be difficult but I can think of a lot of things off the top of my head that could be huge. Not things like bring up the bass or what not, for that you could have a hardware mixer with tactile enhancements. With things like selecting tracks, or creating/selecting markers or ranges, arming tracks, adding pluggins to a track, too much to list.

I think I would like to know in say another decade or so such a thing would be possible with reliable performance, I think that would be a good thing

i wasn't joking about elons neural lace.

he reckons hes ready to roll it out, and in tests it has shown positive results for example, regarding vision, more often than not, eye issues are just that, issues of the physical eye ball.
the neural lace allows for a camera for example to attach to the ocular region of the brain

ive been interested in it since he first announced it years ago, as hes hoping it will be able to bridge damaged nerves, again he states that they have had positive lab results, allowing people with spinal injuries to walk again.

we really are entering the transhuman age

it would be great, but AMD has a long ways to go, presently incurable but that seems it would work

yeah, its doesn't "cure" the issue of course.
but it bypasses the whole eye/optic nerve, basically the camera would plug straight in to the brain.
im not sure how soon it will be out there and regards its properties, i only have the press release stuff to go on.
also its not going to be cheap to begin with id guess?

but i look on it as promising, not so much for the eye issues personally, more for pain management. but the more ive read about it, once i got past all the fear mongering on youtube (believe me, some people are not happy about the whole merging with ai

) the more positive i became about the possibilities.

not just of the neural lace, but there have been several brain chip related things happening recently, and its only going to improve.
and now they making chips so small they can put hundreds on a pin head, so it wont necessarily mean invasive surgery

You can already get voice recognition software that'll control stuff for you. I own this, which was included with something else I wanted to try out:

I just think that a DAW is not quite the ideal environment.

It's already possible. In most DAWs, you can already set up macros and assign hotkeys to them, then you can use a voice recognition program to trigger those hotkeys.

If I were to suffer from poor eyesight/blindness at an old age, I guess it could be useful. For normal use however, voice is one of the most inefficient and inaccurate methods of inputting data.

I did this way back in the year 2001 with Reason 1.0 using a voice recognition based piece of software, saying "Space", every time I wanted to start and stop the playhead. It took more effort than moving the mouse cursor, and I didn't want to send myself mad either and ending up sounding like William Shatner 'Captain Kirk...

for the rest of my life.

Funny, that did cross my mind... a good film which didn't I really get in my younger years... now that I'm much older, I can appreciate and understand it more. Was on BBC's IPlayer a few months back.

Would you buy a voice-controlled DAW?
