How Similar is Fender Studio Pro to earlier v. of Studio Pro?

[Olorin]

I can understand your pov. The internet has turned enough of my brains into tapioca, though. Research combined with repetition/rehearsal of applied concepts will always, at least for me, sink in more thoroughly than offloading these tasks to a machine.
I accept what you do is a valid use of these algorithms. Just not for me, other than the few times I asked Google AI for a couple of answers. N.B., it also offered me incorrect advice.
I really don't want to get into AI in music, though. I left one forum because the place was inundated with threads, both pro and con. I just don't want to know. If google didn't automatically stick its AI in front of me, I'd have never bothered.

Sadly it's the tedious stuff that keeps us all sane, and removing it from our lives will have a negative result as we seek to ignore any kind of journey of the soul and just want to arrive at the end point as soon as possible.

The art of looking up information as you're doing now, will be seen as tedious, as the same engine you're using for those searches can just do it to completion anyway. So the line will move further forward the more we shortcut, and we'll go from being middle man, to redundant and irrelevant.

This is why all ancient meditations embrace the normality and tedious tasks as a way of relaxing the mind. Look at how we've already taken the art of matcha tea making, where the relaxation was taking the time to slow down and prepare the tea.

It's now a sachet that you buy from the supermarket, rip open and throw in a cup pretending that it's some kind of mind 'detox'. It's really not good for our mental wellbeing, as we're forgetting the journey and promoting only the end point which in itself feels empty when you've done very little to get there.

Interesting perspective, I get it, the journey is the end point.

Just in passing, are you the same @Skijumptoes that's been papering the walls of the cubase forum for a few years.

Anyway, kindest regards.

Yeah, I was on the old S1 forums too. I'm a Cubase user but Studio Pro 8 was available for such a great price last week I had to give it a go to try the Fender amps out, and must admit been really enjoying it.

Trouble is, already found myself procrastinating and started modifying the MCU controller script to support X-Touch scribble strip colouring, and multi-page parameter mappings.

The geek in me always seems to win against the musician in me - I swear George Harrison never had this problem, probably kept his laptop at home smart guy.

Hah, that he did.

I heard he made George Martin perform all the updates and software installation on it for him.

He was basically the Hans Zimmer of his time, but not.

Good post on the process vs. the product as well.

Welcome to the forum!
Good to have you.

Good to see folk are still kickin around.

Kindest regards, take care folks.
