I was doing this many times before, until of course, I lost interest.  I struggle with doing anything over long periods of time.

Which later turned into 30 minutes of trying to figure out how to convert midi to audio in Ableton 12. I remembered it as &#8220;freeze and flatten&#8221; for years and years that I&#8217;ve been dabbling in Ableton. Spent too long trying to find where they moved it. Except they REmoved it. Now it&#8217;s called Bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the modern life.  I wanna improv my guitar for a few minutes.  But it&#8217;s followed by half an hour of my life getting sucked away by technology.  Then I lose interest for months, maybe years, and I have to repeat the cycle all over again.  Not only because I may have forgotten some of the tech, but also because the tech completely changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyways.  Here&#8217;s my dog next to a tesseract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DogTesseract-771x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DogTesseract-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DogTesseract-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DogTesseract-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DogTesseract-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DogTesseract-1542x2048.jpg 1542w, https:\/\/johnnycarlos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DogTesseract-scaled.jpg 1928w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The shadow of the 3d world<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gonna try to get back into recording stuff.
