just discovered it this year; cannot believe i went this long without knowing about it. also the web 1.5ish site and comments board brings me a lot of joy, reminds me of the spirit of the earlier web, in keeping with the free form nature of

what’s toxic about it? sincere question. it’s not about bringing down a culture as much as raising up other ones to equal prominence.

well at the very least the technique has been packaged/marketed as “torrefied wood”, and i think that’s what is being referenced here

the worst is when they make an announcement but you can't understand it because the speakers are so jacked and you watch the doors close as you're try to piece together whether you should stay or go...

i dont know, an hour, two hours late? what do you expect, push notifications when the headlining band is tuning their instruments? show up an hour or two late and at worst see a little bit more of the opening band or a little less of the ma

likewise Lonely Woman by Coleman, at least to my ears, fits in alongside more “normal” jazz, except maybe for the plastic sax tone

maybe so (they fooled me) but you were already prepped to scrutinize them. To the point others have made, we’ll soon need to be constantly prepared to assume fakery. the technology of fakery is rising the meet the “everything is fake news”

is there that much of a difference? how much? poster used the word "accent" but to my mind that includes regional variations in the language, not just the sonics.

the nice thing is that you can easily split that line up as much as makes sense, should you decide you need to access some intermediate form of the data. and you can use the variable names as a comment that explains what that chunk of trans

I never really properly learned TDD and always felt a bit bad about it. Then I discovered this side effect (or primary effect) of FP and felt like there was no real need for tests. Not sure if I'm just rationalizing but the ability to

It's a very long reverb, probably with an EQ either in the reverb effect or after to roll off all the high. Go to a guitar store with a lot of pedals or check out the Knobs videos on youtube. Find one with a long reverb time and a tone

Doesn't seem like there's any shortage of white men in any of those roles.

i strongly disagree with this. half of my posting history on here is evangelizing FRP in javascript (in my case via bacon.js). it has dramatically reduced the amount of time i spend on these and many other sorts of problems. honestly it mak

thats fair but I always found soundcloud's stream compression to be pretty bad. I think maybe it got better recently but there was a long time where it sounded like ~128kbps or less, particularly on stuff with cymbals, etc

what's an example of a trump supporters are evil? keep in mind that demonstrating that someone is uninformed, perhaps willfully, is not the same as evil.

i think what is appealing to me is the idea of playing unexpected combinations of sounds of one another. and it's the drum example in particular that really caught me. you can certainly make weird sounds with existing synths, but inter

this is awesome. this is the kind of thing that spawns entire genres of music that didn't exist before. a lot of the demos sound terrible but as the modulation and drum examples allude to, it's going to be super weird and interest

i spent 10 years building a project studio and optimizing the workflow and patch bay so that i can be recording almost any instrument within 30 seconds or so. that was a huge breakthrough and a huge commitment!

as other replies allude it's also highly genre/goal dependant. if you're trying to make your rock band sound more like led zeppelin there is a fairly fixed set of tools and instructions (albeit futile, ultimately) if you are

it feels like this is shifting a bit. for example much of the work at the whitney biennial is quite political and hardly abstract. of course it's subject to many of the same forces as always (the fashion/connection/money) but
