Maybe you’re right, now. The novelty is gone.
To some it’s true. To others it’s false. To me, it was hilarious at that moment in time.
I assume your attempts included the “manage watched threads” option but if not head there.
how does one really
really ignore this petty thread?
i tried twice and for the third time
i clicked everything-everything ignoring this schmuck who i have no idea or care about.
while trying to get a shark robo-vacuum cleaner to actually work onlines
this digital age is not what it was like 3 months ago
and sucks!
I have to ask, is there really a genre of music called (funeral doom)? Sorry I just have not heard of that.
Kanye West talks about oppression while he said Black slavery was a choice and supported Citrus Kool Aid.
It's neither a new format, nor really innovative when a $5 phone app has done basically the same thing (with arguably better features) with your existing music library since 2020.(skip to 3 mins)
Stem based tracks as (proper) 4 parters are not a new thing either, they were introduced in Traktor back in 2015 and you've been able to buy tracks as stems on beatport for almost as long.
The only real difference is that this device is (semi) standalone.
I just fail to see who it's aimed at beyond possibly live performers looking for backing tracks or remixing your own stuff. But 8 gigs, seriously, for a device touted for "lossless" playback .. and the upload speeds that look to rival USB 1.1, errr ....
The idea of being able to modify a commercial album as if you had the multitracks actually is legitimately cool. It reminds me of the idea behind that one Todd Rundgren album on the CD-i. That said, it’s an idea that hasn’t been done well yet. So I think this Stem Player is an idea that could be something other than hot garbage (but it’s easy and fashionable to hate on Kanye West, and I admit that having his name on the idea dampens my enthusiasm for it). If this album is a concept album that depends on the interactivity the Stem Player affords for its concept, then it makes perfect sense not to release it on conventional streaming services (which never could live up to the artistic vision of the concept). And mainstream music could use a return of the concept album, if just to mix things up a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, since it’s fashionable to hate on Kanye, I know I’ll get some ribbing for using “artistic vision” and a new Kanye West album in the same sentence. If it were anyone else doing this, it might be taken more seriously. I’m definitely not a fan of Kanye (and certainly won’t be buying this player/album), but I really don’t think it’s an awful idea on its face. It really depends on the execution and how many albums get released that take advantage of this player’s features.
