Crazy though isn't it. In the overall scheme of things people would ask you 'what difference does it make whether it's 18-19mm verses 16-17mm' ? Difficult one to answer that especially to someone who doesn't play bass 😂. That is until I hold up my 70 year old gnarly arthritic hands with a finger missing on my fretted hand. And why anything less than 18mm is a bit of a ball ache for me 😖

Taking a fully mixed single track and magically recreating the multitracks from that single source alone? Since when?

Didn’t a lot of people stop playing Hillsong stuff because of the corruption & kiddiefiddling?

AI at the moment is a bit like the early days of the internet. Far too many idiots were allowed to use it for fun at no, or very little, cost to them. Problem with the internet is they still have access.

Some of the richest people and companies in the world too. And the UK government wants to give them the rights to use all UK owned intellectual property to train their AIs for free. (on an opt out basis). https://www.forbes.com/sites/virginieberger/2025/02/28/how-the-uks-ai-copyright-exception-hands-creators-work-to-big-tech-for-free/

All the worst people in the world are all in on it which is a bit of a red flag for me.

Well that sounds excellent! If I ever did a gig that actually had a PA, just that and a compressor would do me fine.

It does cut costs for the businesses using AI but does that saving get passed on to the consumer? I seriously doubt it.

Quincy jones?

Yeah it's terrifyingly powerful with music! IMO we should cast it into the fires of Mount Doom 😅 A producer I work with is really into this stuff, and has used AI software to learn the voice patterns of singers he regularly works with and has a lot of content from, to the effect that he can now 'sing' into an SM57 in the mix room, and an uncannily familiar female pop vocalist generates back through the monitors. He hasn't used it on any published work but it's scarily good, and a lot easier and cheaper than hiring said vocalist. She is amazing, but the AI model does everything quicker, with plenty of variation. So far he will only use it for group backing vocals and choir parts in the mix. In much the same way that generative AI has taken over a lot of voiceover work (Artlist etc), I wonder if we'll see generative models of vocalists and session players becoming common. We could have suite of virtual session players to prompt - you could try a track with models based on Marcus Miller, Leland Sklar, Chris Wolstenholme? Not even touching generating whole pieces of 'music', or re-orchestrating songs you feed it. Cool that we could, really not sure if we should!

Normally right at the bottom of the listing there’s a report to reverb option

If it walks like a duck, squarks like a duck, etc etc... I did like the "Why" as if this was a wholly unreasonable request. It made me smile.You're spending $5000 and would like to check what you are buying.

Tom, My most common tool is a decent digital calibrated caliper. I tend to work to around 0.2mm resolution with the Prusa, but I can get down to a consistent 0.1mm if I'm a little careful. Fusion 360 is happy to work to this resolution and far higher. There's no right way to model all of this, it's a case of what works for you. I used to draw rectangles and then fillet the sketch. This destroys the constraints and makes any changes difficult, thats why I moved to filleting the body as that can be done later. However that's just me. You tend to need 0.5mm or more for walls, 0.5mm is very thin, but printable at 0.1mm. It will flex, but that's not a major issue for pickup covers. I would have thought you wanted to make the pickup cover as tight as you can. If you are looking to paint them, then by all means print as-is and do supports and very gently smooth the support surfaces. Perfectly reasonable approach. Ask if any questions. Rob

Is there a way to report scammers to Reverb? I couldn't see one.
