if you love that lo fi crunchy DAC sound (I do too), check out a VST plugin called TALSampler. It emulates a variety of classic crappy-DAC samplers and can be used to process any signal to add that grunge, with controllable jitter/dow

> Studio time used to be unbelievably expensive, so people didn't mess around. Except some of the best music from that era is from rich people who COULD mess around (Dark Side of the Moon, for example). The 80s/90s opened that

> invasion of the British Isles was a good or a bad thing Why is this an important question at all?

> money in [pornography] (and adjacent things...) is too large How can this even be true? As a wise man once said, I type big booba in google and get million result.

> I can't wait for it to happen, it's a low-cost way of producing even more music to listen to. I can't really understand this. I'm a DJ and a huge music nerd, and I spend a lot of time every week discovering new mus

The atomic bomb was very important, so it must have been done by women. But it was also bad -- so they must have been tricked into creating it! Let's now reason backward to support this obviously true conclusion.

Global-reach social networks have been good for very narrow niche interest discussion. If I have a question about Civilization 4 or roguelike game development, it's nice that I can post somewhere that's likely to be seen by a lar

If you want to build an insular community for your nerd friends, put up a MUD server. You can build silly text toys, write tiny pieces of code for stupid fun, and the best part is, normies can't even figure out your community exists o
