  • Session musicians are technical instrumentalists that excel at being able to play in many different styles as requested by the producer without letting their ego get in the way.

    I don’t care much for pop music, but with age I’ve reconsidered my youthful music snobbery antagonism for pop music being “unauthentic” to instead think that they excel at being entertainers with a mass appeal and that it is not necessarily a bad thing either. Not everybody has interest in seeking out auteurs. Who am I to judge how other people bring happiness into their lives.

    And I’ve realised that a lot of bands that are considered “authentic” are the day job for the band members and is that one project of many that worked out well enough to be a career.


  • Regardless of opinions, this article opinion piece is written like by an angry teenage nerd.

    I don’t understand what these angry anti FF people want that keep on having weekly rants on the topic. You are free to not use the software if you don’t like it or the company or whatever. Just move on and be happy.

    I’m getting tired of these haters any time Mozilla does literally anything and there is not a single constructive idea ever but the demand that Mozilla must operate like a benefactor for nerds that do not have to pay for anything ever.

    Damn, I almost wish Mozilla went commercial with FF to fund the development of it just because.


  • I’m in the same position. I’ve got several paid VST that I’d like to use in Reaper on Linux but haven’t gotten around trying to fiddle about when the installer fails. Not very experienced with Wine and quirks.

    Somebody told me I’d be easier off getting installer free cracked versions of the software I already paid for but idk about malware and such in pirated software nowadays. Is it possible to containerize VSTs so they have access to nothing but their instance of Wine?
