tbc this is not snark I strongly endorse recursive sine wave torture chambers

always heartwarming to see someone discover the Mick Gordon Doom soundtrack making-of video

サイン波ひとつから、どこまで音を変化させられる？🧪

今回はセンドのフィードバックループを使って、たった1つのサイン波から実験的なサウンドを作ります。

⚠️ただし、この実験は急激な音量上昇が起こる可能性があります。スピーカー、ヘッドフォン、耳を傷めないためにも、試す前に必ず以下を守ってください。

・全センド＆マスターにLimiterを入れる
・センド量は1dBずつゆっくり動かす
・スピーカー／ヘッドフォンは最小音量にする

準備ができたら、各センドにディストーション、ディレイ、リバーブ、Erosionなどを入れ、少しずつお互いにフィードバック。
ノイズやレゾナンス、位相の変化が複雑に絡み合い、たった1つのサイン波が予想もし��いサウンドへ。つまみを少し動かすだけで、刻々と表情が変わっていきます🔥

they got Claude doing dev lemons bits

[A.J. @aj_dev_smith]

this absolutely blew me away. there's so much to talk about but:
- the singing is shaped from code. to make sure it was legible claude used a local speech -> text model to check the outputs and tweaked in a loop
- all band members actually play their instruments, frame by frame, as accurately as cartoonishly possible
- claude was literally exporting waveforms as pngs and looking at them as part of the mixing process
- there's a ton of easter eggs in the music video to find I'l l cover in another post

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

@zacknovack uh yup definitely yes

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

the fact these things always default to The 4 Chords is worse news for alignment than anything in the METR report

[Pietro Schirano @skirano]

6/6 It can also fully produce music in code.

I gave it access to Ableton via MCP and it made this track from scratch, creating each instrument with synths, along with all the parts and arrangement.

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

@JulienBlanchon @vvolhejn Way cooler indeed! Always great to see gumbel getting some love

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

I myself prefer the rich, full tones of 2024 gemini synthid

looking forward to mass audiophile psychosis but for sensing non-distortionary entropy-dependent text watermarks instead of gold plated cables

[M1 @M1Astra]

Anthropic says new Claude models will embed invisible watermarks in all generated text, everywhere Claude is offered.

The watermark is part of the text, it isn't metadata: "it will travel with the text when it's copied and pasted elsewhere, and may persist through some editing."

This starts with models launched on or after August 2, 2026, under an EU AI Act code Anthropic signed. Anthropic is still working on adding it to current models. The rollout is worldwide.

@dadabots not sure how well it will work at a 4096 waveform patch size but this is one of the more fun things to do with "just" a codec

everyone you know is vibecoding generative loopers with a b&w color scheme

[Sonic Field @sonic_field]

ORAM v0.3 is out ✿

New additions:
- loop zone variations powered by @stableaudio inpainting
- proper master recorder
- fade in / fade out
- undo / redo
- per-layer reverse playback
- nuke now actually nukes everything
- quieter, quicker, prettier FX palette
- smoother GUI

of course the cool new causal latent GAN paper is from the Musika author (+friends)

[Marco Pasini @marco_ppasini]

Meet LiveBand: a real-time AI jamming companion! 🎸

It generates live music accompaniments with zero perceived latency ⚡️

It runs locally on Macbooks, can generate any instrument (more than one at a time), is wildly robust, and is trained from scratch on a single GPU! 🧵👇

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

from a mixing standpoint I've always been blown away by how well treats wrestles a bunch of extremely harsh and peaky sounds into a listenable whole, wouldn't have the same venom if they just fed it into a "resonance suppressor"

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

feel like at least 50% of this is just letting guitars & vocals annihilate the upper midrange in ways that would terrify today's soothe-brained producers

[kenjataimu jones 🌹 @originaldaveyj]

How did they make that one Sleigh Bells album so loud

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

image folks ahead of audio as always https://t.co/hcOMQPdX3Z

[𒐪 @SHL0MS]

i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI

please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

for future discourse farming I would recommend producing from scratch and then passing through an old VAE

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

and also that you can engreeble audio by adding a lil noise

[Patrick O'Reilly @ReillyOPatrick]

I do love that CoDiCodec's ambient latent space is a greeble choir
