Does anyone know of any good resources for approximating more (for want of a better term) analog glitch effects in code? The VHS and slitscan presets in Glitché[0] got me wondering how one might go about producing the kinds of effects/

You asserted that the douchebags with popped collars saying stupid shit are "channel[ling] black culture." You further asserted that the primary objection to "'wigger' culture" (wow) is that white people "

This isn't complicated. There's a difference between identity and affectation. When your affectation conflates "acting black" (as if that's even a thing one can do) with "acting moronic", your affectation

Indeed, the City is vast, and what people refer to as Greater Los Angeles—which includes most of the grey areas on the first map, like my hometown of Glendale, and a ton more to the east not displayed—is still more vast. Greater LA aside, t

Does "amount of pirating" refer to the number of individuals downloading? The number of torrent files? The number of kilobytes downloaded in aggregate? Last I checked, all the copyright lobby and their lawyers are interested in measuring ar

I worked at two Apple retail stores over the course of ~3 years. I did sales, worked at the Genius Bar, repaired machines and performed data transfers in the back, and delivered a shit-ton of One-to-One sessions. Though I generally enjoyed

I don't think that's a fair characterization. No one forced the hands of those backers. I hadn't heard of the project until you linked to it, but having read through the updates it's evident that Schuyler was totally forthcoming about his l

Last year I bought a 14 input, 24 bit, 44.1/48/88.2/96kHz audio interface for $100. Granted, it's not supposed to cost so little, no one cares about MSRP but it runs twice that on Amazon, more at Guitar Center, and typically no less than

"Your name is Windows. Why are you a flag?" I wonder how much they paid to listen to an expert ask that question when it was likely asked, and ignored, internally for years.

Mainstage is in the Mac App Store as well, nothing about Rewire support is consistent with MAS guidelines. Unfortunately, it appears this may be a "do as I say, not as I do" situation.

I'm not sure why the Mac App Store represents the high water mark for safety (as opposed to a secure server maintained by the people who actually developed the software or MacPorts/Fink/Homebrew) but whatever. Many popular audio plugins are
