Hear the same thing about beats, too much bass. Anyway, the point still stands, Beats is considered a fashion brand, it was used by athletes all around the world a couple years ago, now athletes are all in on apple airpods and it's been a while since I've seen someone talking about buying a beats.
yes, which is why i just but Sennheiser, because it's clear they really care about the music.

Critics add value to things by building meaning around them. There many films which I enjoy reviews and analysis of more than the work itself. If you are so ascerbic toward peanut galleries it is a bit odd that you browse hackernews.
Critics add no value. They are parasitic individuals that feed off the creations of great men. I'm not sure why you find it odd I browse a forum for creators and hackers. The parasitic people are here too. They are talkers not doers.
It’s always weird when public figures (who are not engineers) try to develop sophisticated physical products. Of course it’s going to be terrible. It’s like if Google would, I don’t know, make an action movie. Or if, say, the Dalai Lama would launch his own brand of cars. It’s not what they do .
You mean like Beats by Dre, who is also not an engineer, which was so terrible that Apple bought them for $3 Billion?
-- Not sure what alleged role she is alleging - even after reading this 10,300 word essay - my understanding was that it's supposed to be a fun toy for the musically inclined (similar to teenage engineering products) - maybe i'm wrong - but it does fulfill that role perfectly - I sat on a 6 hour flight and did nothing but make tunes with my OP-Z and Stem Player - similar to TE products - the Stem Player is one of the…
> did nothing but make tunes You mean you did nothing but create tracks of insufficient fidelity burdened with copyright issues. Mostly, I have to agree with you, but oranges are not apples, and what you've created can't be shopped or sold, and even if it could, the poor fidelity of the source tracks (whatever Stem player produces for you to use) would prevent market interest in all but lofi consumers within whatever…

That’s not what happened here. Kanye essentially worked with an engineering company that specializes in these kinds of products.

It's likely an unordered list, due to the way HN handles line spacing if you don't do double line breaks.
Actually I've now had a look and pigtailgirl seems to format all of their comments in this way, including having double dashes at the beginning and end. I guess it's a deliberate stylistic choice, but can't say I'm a fan. Almost makes me think its GPT3 or something.
This comment is so worn and beat on HN.

that's a common thing I hear, "it fulfills its purpose". Doesn't excuse the limitations and that the website doesn't give you higher quality stems It's interesting you call it a toy, the team behind it calls the next musical revolution. Your expectations were met, while the ones they set weren't.
I really enjoyed the post, I think it took me through every emotion I've ever felt as an engineer throughout my career. Also, the detail with which you went through how you reverse engineered the product was incredible. I learned a lot.
