🔥 Bandcamp-Alternative Subvert.fm Co-Op Artist-Owned Platform
Are you looking for alternatives to Bandcamp and Spotify? This new artist-owned Bandcamp alternative is now open to the public. You get to keep 100% of your own profits! Bandcamp was sold to investors in 2023, and they take more of your money. Subert is a cooperative, and you can own a piece as a co-owner or join as an artist for free. I have been with them through alpha and beta testing, and there are fewer than 18k artists on the platform right now. 😎 Here's my page (and the promo video I made this morning): https://www.subvert.fm/les-konley

Studio One Pro 7 Missing Plugins
First time asking a question on the forum. I’m using Studio One with a custom-built PC. All of my plugins are downloaded to the same folders, but some never appear available when recording/arranging, no matter how many times I rescan. Short of uninstalling/deleting/reinstalling, any suggestions?

Hi Jamie, when I install new plugins, sometimes they want to install into folders which I haven't explicitly added to the Options > Locations > VST Plug-Ins list. Just make sure all the plugins you expect to see are actually in the directories listed there (see image), or else the scan will miss them. Just be sure to add all the directories where your plugins live.

AI.... SOooooo.... thought I might throw out a 'controversial' topic.... what do peeps think of using AI generated parts in their music? Are you having success? Inspiration? I know I have been very pleasantly surprised in a variety of ways and would love to hear your experiences. :D

I use Suno to help with arrangement to complete songs. When I upload my own music of 30- to 60-seconds and ask for arrangement ideas, what I get back is exactly my same sound palette with some ideas that I can then piece together in my DAW as a kind of map (so that I can then MAKE it for REAL). Since it's giving me back all the same sounds that are already tracks and instruments in my DAW, I can quickly create the bridge or chorus I was struggling to find based on the ideas I get back. Then I record the new parts with my own performances, and so with the help of advanced algorithmic software (inappropriately named 'AI), I can reach the finish line with my songs quicker. The music generator bends to MY will, using MY sounds, from a vision that starts in MY mind. I also use Scaler 3 to help find new chord progressions, so it's usually a combination of Suno and Scaler. It's all just software to me! But I'm not using AI to create music from scratch and then putting it out there as though I made it. I'm still doing the hard work of making the music myself, with tools that provide assistance getting it out of my head. Those who embrace AI tools as creative assistance will get ahead of those who do not.
