What third party apps? /s

Lol I think this is the first time I’ve seen a post referring to another post on Lemmy and actually got the joke.

Piss ice is so satisfying. You get to see your stream melt the ice and steam comes off. No splashback. No flushing. Fuck yea, piss ice baby!

Interesting, I wonder why this couldn’t be accomplished with conventional techniques. I own a handful of “AI” Plugins meant to achieve similar cleanup and I feel like it always needs to be tweaked to sound right. And that’s for a guy like me without practiced mixing ears. I wonder why real studio engineers needed AI.

In my opinion having mainstream adoption is a double edged sword. It’s nice to have that larger user base, but at the same time most subreddits went to crap when they became default subs. I’ll never forget starting out my career r/personalfinance was not a default sub and I could get very insightful specific advice from people who really seemed to understand what they were talking about. Flash forward and it became a default sub. Now it’s an echo chamber and borderline circlejerk sub. It feels like a parody of what it used to be.

So far I don’t miss that or mind the smaller feel here.
