Fell into the somewhat regular (about four times a year) three hour rabbit hole evaluating options for the audio mixer of my dreams. This time because I learned that the Poly Effects Hector exists, with 6 inputs and 8 outputs, each CV or audio, arbitrary internal patching, tons of effects, MIDI support, whatever.
Cons: some latency, development seems to have stalled, and the price of > 600 € of course.
After editing 60+ episodes of #HackingTheGrepson, I've come to learn my podcasting partner's, as well as my own, vocal style pretty well.
Besides the usual uhs, and ums, I've realized that I sniff way too much, especially after talking for a bit. I also click my tongue often when beginning my speech after listening to someone else.
WHY?! PLEASE STOP SELF! IT'S ANNOYING AND I'M TIRED OF CUTTING IT OUT!
Asking the #fediverse a #computer#audio question, the technician I took my system to explained that my system is switching to HDMI audio every time my graphics driver updates. He said that I needed to switch it back to my internal audio driver. It's hard to do this without a screen reader running at the time. I'm thinking of getting an external sound card so I can do this. Of course i also have a headset I just got recently. He did disable that setting in device manager, to try and prevent automatic switching. What do you all think?
Tried the demo for Heavier7Strings sample-based guitar VST, and it's pretty darn impressive! I'm a guitarist, but don't always have a recording setup ready to go, so this rocks a lot.
The price is a little steep (i.e. just above my impulse purchase limit), and so I'm wavering.
The chuggas and meedlies may finally win me over, though.
Somebody asks for a desktop alternative to MacWhisper for Windows (i.e. speech to text transcriber) and somebody else recommends a cloud Google service. Should we call that second person a simpleton with a cloudy mind?
I have stuff to mix! And I love that. I had a little lull in the workflow for a bit, but now I have plenty to work on.
I'd love to work on your stuff, too!
I trained in Grammy-winning studios, worked with people with more gold records than I can count, and I like to think I'm pretty darn good at what I do.
Do you need your #music mixed? Mastered? Podcast edited?
Hit ya girl up! I'm pretty great at #musicproduction and I'd love to work with you!
So, for your #audio needs, let's work together! Plus, you're supporting a #trans creative!
Let me know what you need. I'll work with your budget.
Open note to self: the non screw-in audio TRS locking cable jack is called "bayonet"*.
I tend to chew through these for whatever reason so have to remember the term when ordering replacements. I'd been calling them "Sennheiser locks" but that isn't exactly right.
I am trying to find someone in the local #music or #audio space to let me #intern for them for free (because Army is still paying me) and you'd think this would be a relatively easy sell
Great article that helped me solidify my understanding of why I might want to record at 24/96 at a minimum. 24/48 is the standard for video, but when recording artistic material I might even go 32/192. Storage/processing isn't as much of a concern these days, and even the baby audio interfaces can do that...
A collection-in-progress of online stores offering music in high quality, accessible, and permanently ownable formats. Say no to DRM'd music!! :dancekirbyheadphones:
Ancora una volta la legge di Murpy si abbatte su di me: ogni qualvolta ci si aspetta che i #problemi siano finiti, puntualmente ne spunterà un altro; e, se un #software può fallire, lo farà nel modo più #bizzarro e #inspiegabile. ☠️
La #conversione stanotte è stata fatta, ma mi trovo con diverse canzoni rilevate dal sistema sul telefono in meno rispetto a quanto preventivato… questo perché, ho controllato, e qualche centinaio di file pesa quasi zero, abbastanza da contenere soltanto la copertina e nessun flusso #audio. Molto utile come risultato di conversione, si si! 💸
E, in realtà, il lettore che ho usato fino a ieri (quello di Lineage OS) mi vedeva solo qualche centinaio di canzoni, anche dopo un riavvio di #Android, cosa che mi ha fatto fare davvero un saltin, ma ho installato Fossify Player, e lui mi conta quasi 2000 brani, che è un poco meglio. 😪
Mi sono comunque spaventata per quei file però che ho visto troppo piccoli, e ho pensato “ecco qua, si è corrotto l’HDD”, ma per fortuna no, ho controllato e i FLAC che hanno fallito la conversione si sentono normalmente da sopra il disco… quindi ha fallito o fre:ac, o il decoder FLAC, o l’encoder Opus… ma tutte queste #canzoni tutte in sequenza? 🤯
Se scopro che è colpa dei raggi cosmici mi incazzo. Poteva certamente andare peggio, mi è andata bene che i #file su disco siano a posto, ma che palle, dovrò riconvertire cosa non è andato bene… 💩
What’s the bookshelf speaker equivalent of Sony MDR-7506s or Shure SE215s? JBL 4312s with roots back to 1968? Sony SS-SC5 from 2014? Jones’ 2016 Elac Debut or earlier 2012 Pioneer BS22? Klipsch R series?
Should be:
cheap as possible while not crap
old enough that most folks know of it
given above, it should be a common reference point when comparing other models
They're small, they don't degrade over time or use, they're digital so you can bit for bit copy them if need be (preservation!), they're flippin' LOSSLESS, and they've got all the quality you could ever need
(anything over CD-quality 44KHz is pointless and apparently anything over 16bit is also pretty pointless unless you're mixing)
@consint Oh yeah, that would be cool 😉️ As I understand their response, they are currently afraid of the effort and fear that the market is too small to justify it. Personally, I think it takes some idealism and a bit of good will to offer #audio#plugins for #linux as a #windows / #macos vendor. But I find it strange when vendors do not have at least some sympathy for Linux, #opensource and the #linuxaudio community in general. Which is not to say that I think the latter applies to d16.
