Tone Tips (part 2, guitar settings)
These settings are simple and I use them for both humbuckers or single with only minor variations.
On single coil guitars (including P90s) I predominantly use the neck pickup. I adjust the amp ( part 3 ) with the volume and tone on ten. Then roll back to 7 or 8 on the volume. On the Telecaster I sometimes roll the tone back to 8 if it seems at all harsh
For humbuckers I use both pickups. Tone on ten, bridge pickup on 8 or 9, neck on 6 or 7.

On My Bloody Valentine's 'only tomorrow'
[...]
https://thoughts.pivic.com/on-my-bloody-valentines-only-tomorrow
My Bloody Valentine's song 'only tomorrow' is great example of what the band could and can create.
Kevin Shields has a billion guitar pedals and ways to make effects; still, this song is basically something that a young person with a few computer-based effects could make. Shield's great knack at creating music is what separates him from the chaff.
It takes a fucking aeon of trial-and-error to come up with this fucking sound, let me tell you, in case it's not already obvious to you. To mix a simple guitar that's not particularly fuzzed with another guitar that sounds like a Big Muff pedal has been blasted through overdrive... And pairing those two elements with what seems to me to be pink and white noise, and then adding Bilinda Butcher's processed vocals...
The arrangement and full-on playing could easily have become ham-fisted but here we are: this is fucking *grace*.
From the first verses to the bridge at 01:20, to then twelve bars of overlays: softly toned-down guitar feedback and then back to the verse?
Fuck me. This is some really thought-through music that still sounds like it's made by renegades and young punks. This is some proof that the next MBV album will fucking rock the world, if it ever comes. Only Kevin Shields would know, I guess.
03:29: the start of a solo-guitar tremolo melody starts. I can't believe how more guitars are added just a bit after the four-minute mark, and the song grows even more. Is that a Leslie speaker? I don't know. I've heard this song and it's taken me to other galaxies so many times that I can now afford to chill out and just go somewhere else in my mind with this. Repetition, minimalism, and a simple wall of guitar-based music - the drums can't be ignored, because unlike most of the guitars, they and the simple one guitar that follows the verse are the only instruments that seem to contain a bit of treble.
It's all mixed very extraordinarily. If you know anything about Kevin Shields's ways around music, you know he cares about everything in how music is presented.
At the end of the day, the song is a fucking *tune*. Regardless of how well-produced, engineered, mixed, and presented a track is, if it ain't a tune, people won't like it. This is a track that one could play on one acoustic guitar and people would get off on it.

Would you mind to #elaborate further?

So you had plenty of #arguments about this, but I am wondering if you had a #conversation worded this way:
You have had many years to think about everything, so I #imagine that there is a #justification to why it was not worth it for you #personally to adjust the #tone slightly to be able to #attract more people to it?
...
@hamishcampbell (2/9)
So far I got the feeling that you have either completly rejected somewhat #traditional-funding , or maybe it didn't happen due to #tone . Many #projects closed due to lack of #funding look like a #symptom of this. As someone who would love to fully dedicate myself to the #goals that I am truly #passion ate for, but still likes to eat and at the same time has feelings of opposition to some possible #solutions , I highly #empathize with it.

Meeting-LLM: Транскрипция + ИИ-анализ совещаний в одном окне своими руками (T-One + GPT-OSS-20B)
В интернете огромное количество гайдов на тему транскрибации аудио и анализа совещаний через ИИ. Но все они описывают разрозненные решения: отдельно транскрибируй аудио, затем отправь в ChatGPT, и так далее. Я решил комплексно подойти к этому вопросу и навайбкодить веб-приложение, где все задачи решаются в одном окне, а именно: - Хранение транскрипций -Чат с ИИ по содержимому встречи -Структурированные протоколы (задачи, решения, события) -Рекомендации ИИ на базе текущей и предыдущих встреч -Интеграция с CRM в один клик (beta)

To illustrate what I'm referring to with Mozilla's Connect discussions being over-moderated:
I created a response (not my own thread) to someone else's post that read only, "Please stop the AI slop" and it was marked as spam.
My suggestion that Firefox moving to be an AI browser was the equivalent of jumping off a bridge because one's friends had jumped off a bridge was likewise marked as spam.
#Mozilla #FireFox #Moderation #Censorship #AI #Tone-Deaf #ToneDeaf
The situation with Mozilla is worse than I anticipated. Not only are they going headlong into the AI hellscape, but their moderation team at "Connect" are actively suppressing discussion about how disgusted users are with the direction they're taking.
I have attempted to comment and post recently on the topic in their official discussion forms to only have EVERY comment and post marked as spam.
Fucking pathetic.
