I've got Merch! https://lonelyrocker.myspreadshop.ca/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, Lonely Rockers! Dan here. You know my drill: I play all the guitars, all the bass, meticulously craft my drums. So, when Dreamtonics sent over their AI vocal software, Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro, my purist alarm bells went off! I'll admit, I was skeptical—even a little fearful of AI creeping into creative spaces. But in this video, I take you through my unexpected journey with this technology. From my initial apprehension to the surprising moments of laughter and creative discovery, I put this AI singer to the test in my own studio. What started as a skeptical experiment turned into something I never saw coming. Is it "real" AI that just spits out a finished product? Or is it a powerful creative tool, like a "drum machine for vocals," that demands a true producer's touch? Join me as I grapple with my traditional values, wrestle with the code, and ultimately form an unholy alliance with an AI voice. Watch to see if this purist guitarist finally succumbs to the machine!

I've got Merch! https://lonelyrocker.myspreadshop.ca/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this shocking shootout, we put the incredibly affordable Neural DSP Nano Cortex against its powerhouse sibling, the Quad Cortex, in a head-to-head battle over their Neural Amp Capture capabilities! Can a device that costs just 1/3 the price truly stand toe-to-toe with the industry leader in amp cloning? We put them both to the test by capturing my very own Wangs HD-30H amp, played through the stunning Balaguer Espada Limited. You'll see a bootup race, a capture speed showdown, and then hear a side-by-side comparison of the captured tones using riffs from our opening song. The results are truly surprising – you won't believe how close the Nano Cortex gets! If you're wondering "When is enough, enough?" when it comes to high-end digital guitar gear, this video has your answer. We'll break down who each device is really for based on these incredible findings. 🔥 Want to see my full experience with the Nano Cortex?

After 3 years of providing free video content for the Elmira Vintage Guitar Show, I was suddenly told I'm no longer welcome. This isn't a "fired from a job" story, but it's equally bizarre.

I've got Merch! https://lonelyrocker.myspreadshop.ca/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For three years, I dedicated my time and passion as the unofficial 'official' videographer for the Elmira Vintage Guitar Show, providing free video content to promote the event and our local guitar community. Just recently, after spending an entire day shooting the latest show, I received an unexpected email: I was essentially told "You're Fired!" from participating in future shows. While I wasn't an employee and never sought payment or had any exclusivity agreements, this dismissal was completely unprovoked and deeply frustrating. When I pressed for answers, I was given incredibly vague and unprofessional reasons. This all from the same organizer who often wears a top hat at the show! In this video, I share the full story of this perplexing experience and why I felt compelled to speak out. This isn't just about me; it's about the need for respect, transparency, and unity within our beloved guitar industry and creator community. Watch my full rant and share your thoughts in the comments below.
