The snare sounds on White Pony are incredible. I remember reading that Abe Cunningham spent a lot of time experimenting with different snare sounds for each track and I love that kind of attention to detail.

My snare drum obssession is the snare on Isis’s album “Oceanic”. It’s perfect for the style: it’s boxy, and the mids and bass aren’t scooped out. The result is it sounds really full and big in the mix. I love it!

They meant the royals are the vermin 😏

Personally, I think “no gen ai music” would be well-enough understood as a rule to exclude AI generated songs but not music where AI has been used as a novel tool as part of the production process.

Alternatively, you could hold off on adding a rule like that and leave upvotes/downvotes as the method for evaluating posts with gen ai music. If this community starts to get inundated with low quality posts you could then revisit enforcing a rule?
