My lyrics. My original loop created in FL Studio. Turned into a full song in Suno, made for Mother's day. (My voice, but not me actually "singing" the actual song... Suno did that)
Coffee, Garden, Home - Mothers Day Edition
Love to hear any thoughts.
I am not a musician. Never have been, always wanted to be, but I just... Man I get SO frustrated, when I pick up a new instrument and I suck at it. Mostly boils down to... I just can't seem to make myself practice... no matter how much I enjoy it. Trumpet, Keyboard, Guitar, Bass guitar, Harmonica. (Harmonica is the only one I even got vaguely competent with... even sat in with a Blues band for a song or 2)
I even played around with creating electronically... all the way back in 2012, when I was bored and downloaded the free version of FL Studio. Same thing... I made a couple loops and, basically forgot about it.
I was on Facebook last week and happened across a post I made back then with a video where I used one of my FL tracks. I thought... hey... I wonder what I could do with this using AI?
So yesterday, was the first time I even heard of Suno. (Claude suggested it). I ripped my old audio off the video post, and uploaded it into Suno. I think I said something like... make this into a full length song.
And... I was absolutely AMAZED by what it made, using my old loop. I've probably spent WAY too many of the last 24 hours... playing with this.. and each step, I am blown away by what it does.
I mean in one day, I heard all of those old lost instruments, I couldn't bring myself to properly learn, being used to bring real life to a vision from a decade and a half ago.
As an avid user of tools like Claude... I have to say... get on the AI train... or get run over by it.
Bringing multiple agencies together... even when the technology might be out of reach for a smaller department, Mutual Aid pacts could make this tech available in even more use-case scenarios. Not just missing persons cases.
DFR and the 911 Gap - article on Police1.com
u/Former-Area-2746 dropped this in the comments on the Chula Vista post and it's worth its own thread. This redditor... well, lets just say, he knows this area well, Thank you sir for posting!
The core argument: DFR can only compress response time after an agency knows about an incident. The gap between when something happens and when dispatch gets actionable info -- that's where a lot of time bleeds out, and a faster drone doesn't fix it.
Is your agency working on the 911 gap, or just the drone side?
