    At some point you need something like this:
    Crucial X9 Portable 4TB - external SSD hard drive, read transfer rate 1,050 MB/s, 4,096 GB, PCIe --> from €206.99

    Oh 8TB internal, great deal. I bought 2 external 4TB SSDs from Samsung, one for my film collection and one as a backup for my data and music. I hope I never have to buy anything else again and that the SSDs last as long as I live.

    I collected everything there was and in the end I deleted and archived a lot of it, these updates are always annoying for me. I always create a folder with pictures and file names and dates and sizes. At some point I got fed up and stopped downloading, only the most important and necessary, otherwise you drown in data and you don't have enough time to make music.

    Make more music is the motto. Our generation is a digital one and we have already made 2/3 of the inventions. Now comes the age of AI and improvements to individual synthesizers.

    I hear that, I still have like 500 gb when I install as this crap and delete the installation files.
    Man AI is going to kill music production I believe, it will take any skill out of it.
    Is there a way in FL to make folders? Like where you have Synths in one, Reverb in other, Multi Fx etc, all different folders.

    You also need enough storage for your recordings later though.
    I agree with you. People will buy it though, an American who makes software said: we just need to write AI on it and people will buy it like crazy. Many people believe that technology will solve their problems. They are very wrong. AI or intelligence is a term used by the marketing industry for the next big business. An intelligent person said: "Artificial stupidity", that hits the nail on the head. AS stat AI...
    Not in my opinion!

    Minified? That's usually close mics only, right? Understand that close mics with reverb on them will always sound like close mics with some reverb on them. Mic positions are even more important if you're going to use reverb.

    Yea that is true.

    Yea true, its just crazy no one has to have skill anymore for graphic arts, video production or music production either.. now anyone can do it with AI

    I agree.
    That's one thing thats good about Pro Tools, all your plugins are grouped.

    I think minified means taking the samples from 24 bit and decreasing them to 16, and repacking the library.

    String Murmuration & Small String Gestures are phrase based libraries. The included melodies were freely recorded without synced to a tempo. This means these strings won't work to fixed tempo. If you watch the video by Crow Hill, you will see what I mean.
