Adobe MAX Sneaks 2024 ProjectSuperSonic AI audio creation

This is huge and going to be a major game changer, so Adobe you had better put this into Premiere ASAP. Not only text to audio, but being able to record a scratch track for timing!

Honestly as a commercial and direct response editor I have seen less and less put into audio. I used to at least have a mixer to do an nice mix, but especially since the pandemic I have also had to do a mix (and while audio is not my thing I have become much better at it) but being able to add sound like this so quickly will certainly bring projects to another level.

InsideRadio: California Big Tech Deal ‘Jeopardizes the Suitability of Local Journalism.’

NAB: California Big Tech Deal ‘Jeopardizes The Sustainability Of Local Journalism.’

With newspapers dying left and right we need some way to pump money into local news and soon, and it can’t be something like Google’s paying for it’s add browser space as that has been ruled Monopolistic. They need to pay the news agencies for that news (to make up for the 2 Billion a year in lost add revenue) and more so to keep them viable.

Of course we also need to stop the buying up of local news and TV by conglomerates. Companies like Sinclair should not be allowed to exist!

Of course none of that will happen since politicians are literally owned by corporations.

Max Novak on Gaussian Splatting with Blender

I have been learning Blender in my spare time (ok when I can’t sleep when I am on my shifts with our newborn), and have played a little with Polycam on my iPhone, so this is pretty cool.

I could see coming up with some pretty schools spots with this.

Why does Apple sleep alarm move to watch but you can my do the same with other alarms on Apple Watch

Ok so this is something that has bugged me for sometime between the Apple Watch and the iPhone.

If you use the Apple Bedtime and Sleep settings and are wearing your Apple Watch instead of the alarm happening on your phone, your watch will vibrate. Some people hate this, but I love it, as it doesn’t disturb my wife or newborn baby.

The weird thing is there are no controls for this it just happens and you can’t say have the alarm on both your watch and the phone or even just the phone.

Even weirder to me if you set alarms on your phone they don’t alert your watch even if your phone is set to silent (when it should default to vibrating your watch).

Apple really needs to have settings for this and they should be global.

If I have on my watch and have my phone set to silent I should be able to have all alarms go off by vibrating my watch, but there are no controls for this whatsoever. And the only cross alarm that happens is in the sleep/bedtime alarm mentioned earlier.
