Thunderbird Club

Agreed. And sometimes you *want* to vary the tempo by feel. Can't easily do that with a click.
It's a preference and I understand why some use them. (Pros on tour--not so much--with some even having extra instrumentation going on). Our drummer and I have talked about their use a good bit. (His son is also a good drummer.) We all kid that the drummer is the click track. It's become a joke amongst us about needing one or calling him Click. He is out with a leg wound and can't play, so I kid him that we've been using a click and sold the drums, and other such nonsense.

Ai can help with that. :laugh:
Funny you say that, when at GE we did a case study highlighting Predix, a predictive s/w platform using AI developed by GE Digital (8 years ago) and the success story was actually about how Predix identified 2% fuel savings for Australian carried Quantas if they turned off one the motors on their big twin engine wide bodies when taxiing back to the terminal after landing.......EUREKA!... not....:rollno:

Clearly the savings is to alternate each engine off/on while in flight.

To use much ai you almost need to know something of the correct answer first given some of the things they posit. I had one score a church assessment I did for a group and it didn't do the simple math correctly. I looked at it and thought that can't be right. Asked again, same answer. Finally told it that it was wrong, it was still sure it was. I pointed out how and where and it agreed. Obviously by then I could have done it myself.... How does a super computer not know how to do simple math? If I can do it, a computer surly can.

It's humorous at times. Might ask about Roto 66s and come back with a tonal profile that they are scooped, of some other clearly false statement.

totally agree, like teaching a small child not to cut corners...all this said, it cuts corners because each query takes Watts hence $$...to compare two part numbers with many characters requires a query for each character so when it looks at 2 or 3 characters (out of a 14 character part number for example) and they jive, it thinks it's done.....initially, very impressive for what you get for free until you realize it's more work to get it to work properly than to do the comparison yourself manually.....it is after all in its infancy.....

Interesting.
I've found it really useful for somethings. One key to give it a good amount of information to go on then instructions. Not necessarily in that order. I can get lost at times. But treating it like google will generally net less helpful results.
