Massive fires. Rhodes is the epicenter.
Holy shit, and imagine being there just a day or two before they started!

In Virignia, we've had a couple days where everything looks foggy and the air quality index is awful because of the Canadian wildfires. That's how far those are reaching us.

I’ve waited a long time for this :cool:

My replacement for my nearly six year old self-built PC, which has run Ableton well for a long time but is starting to show its age. Hoping this new one will last me even longer. Can’t wait to see how much of a performance improvement there’ll be going from a four core i7 to a ten core M2.

I asked Dalle 2 to give a combination of Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Venom and this is what it gave me

You are better of making your own PC it's cheaper.

It actually isn’t in this case. I’m getting a refurb model, and that + the accessories I bought (about $2100 in total) comes out to a bit less than I would have spent on the type of new PC I wanted to get. Besides, I’m planning on taking it (and an iPad I want to pick up later) with me in a live performance setup one day.

Sounds good. My pal has just bought an ipad for music. He usually uses a pc but the i pad does indeed have lots of great music software etc. Im guessing with a mac as your main computer, integration with an ipad will be easier for transferring files and tracks/ideas etc. Ive played a few live gigs and have started to grow my hardware with a new akai controller and have some hardware synths too. One day il get a drum machine type thing.

Live is an exciting thing but just make sure your equipment is doing what you want. With your Apple products integrating it could be really good

I recognize that name. He has more uber-expensive stuff on it. This amount must be a record though haha. 65.000 euro ? Rofl.

I guess he doesn't really want to sell, but if someone somehow wants it for a huge amount of money... he will sell. Not a bad idea actually.

Jones & Stephenson. Is that perhaps, Jones from Blank and Jones? For 65 thousand euros it must be an awesome record! But opening it would decrease its value by 99.99% so who ever buys it would probably never hear it. 🙈

I would say then it would be priceless because no one would want to play it, then apart for sentimental reasons or as a show piece I see no reason to buy it.

What I find hilarious is that, for 65000 Euros, the guy wouldn't even consider giving free shipping.

Maybe we can start a game here:

What else can you buy for 65000 Euros?


1. A small apartment in my city
2. A good new car
3. Around 55555 digital copies of The First Rebirth

You think that's strange I just found out how much the SAG Afra people get paid on a daily basis and they are complaining about earning minimum wage.


Valid through 6/30/23:

  • SAG Day Rate: $1,082 / Day
  • SAG Three-Day Rate: $2,741 / 3 Day Period
  • SAG Weekly Scale: $3,756 / Week
I earn what they earn in a day that's a fortnight salary for me after tax.

What about a Grand Piano? You can make good music from that. Or some synthesizers and analogue equipment.

2) Nursery - Open a Nursery growing fruits, and vegetables and herbs and spices of various veggies, fruits and vegetables
3) Online Business similar to Air Tasker
4) Open a business for cybersecurity startup
5) An App that turns musical notes in letter from A- G and tells them what key signature, and also do one that can create sheet music by listening to the track.
6) Website or skills based course company that retains long forgotten and hard skills
7) Sell Templates on excel, word or resume templates
8) Christmas Tree Farm
9) Mango tree farm
10) Micro Greens
11) Converting leaves into Paper/Paper Bags
12) Laundromats
13 Self Storage companies
14) Real Estate
15) E-Commerce
16) Gym - Consultant
17)Photographer/Wedding/Baby
18) Plant Care
19) Restoring Furniture
20) Videographer
21) Music Label - Specifically the authentic 90's/2000 sound no digital VST tracks at all.
