Sure but if you need to resort to tricks to make it work are they really the right UI element for the job? Their being 1:1 is what makes these work. If you fill your UI with 20 pixel sliders which all cover .2khz to 20khz and use shift cli

Nama is pretty good and for more traditional DAW workflows, greatly simplifies using ecasound at some cost. Would love to see ecasound start getting developed again. Edit: was comparing nama to ecasound there, not the more common graphical

I would assume the better programs implement some velocity control, turning it quickly will cause it to increment in larger steps, turning it slowly will increment single steps. This is how I have done it in the past when I have used the sc

Back in the pre-alsa days when linux used OSS you could pipe /dev/random into /dev/dsp and get noise, you could pipe anything into /dev/dsp and generally get some sort of noise. Possibly can still do this on th

Right, this is how it has always been, if you wanted to insure a postmark you HAD to go into the post office and ask, otherwise there is are no promises, even if you mail it a week in advance it might not get a postmark.

This is one of the things which helped sell me on Thinkpads with their three physical trackpad buttons and trackpoint, middle click+trackpoint gets you your scroll wheel and it is quite ergonomic.

kxstudio supports rpi, it comes with a few DAWs and a great deal more, it is probably your best bet for this stuff on pi unless you want to compile stuff yourself. https://kx.studio/

Number boxes can be log or expo or even an arbitrary list, and they can have a fine tune through holding shift or the like. They also generally allow you to just type in the number you want. They definitely are not the best solution for all

I actually assumed the link was linuxmusicians.com and I bet I am not the only one who assumed that. It is not an ad, but a store that also lists free software.

I personally prefer the good old number box but they have their problems and you actually have to read each and ever box to see what the state is, with sliders and knobs we can see the value of a great many controls at a glance.

A 20 pixel knob has considerably greater resolution than a 20 pixel slider with its max resolution of 20. I don't think I have come across a digital knob that you have to turn with the mouse since the previous century, just drag up or

I spent the last week reading a great deal about SDR and researching the current radio market, realized I really missed listening to the radio and figured I better get back to it now while there are still radio stations to listen too. Ended

Right, I covered that in my edit which I probably made as you were writing your post. It was just one of those situations where a small amount of confusion compounds until you have lost sight of reality.

It was your rather odd usage of "affecting" that caused my confusion, made me think IOPS was some new internet acronym and something which could be affected as one would affect continental to sound cultured. I would have gotten th

This submission popping back up from the second chance pool got me to do some digging for the formal description of system/360[0], this is not the APL we know today but the APL outlined in Iverson's A Programming Language[1]. [0]

>it’s Cantrill and Gregg screaming at Thumpers and affecting IOPS. For me, that is less meaningful and more random than a youtube link. I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

The reason your previous attempts at this are getting killed is because we have a way of doing these threads which you are ignoring. We have the one sanctioned thread at the beginning of the month, these threads are not a general, they are

Your edit of your original post happened after my second reply to you, hence my edit of my second reply and not my first. Using old posts as proof is against the rules, it is part of the rule I quoted, the strongest interpretation is not th

So you decided to act in bad faith to make my response look like bad faith? >Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

This misses the entire point of Stein as much as AI misses the point of Stein, reduces it to simple and literal style; it is good because I feel it is good. Stein and the minimalists she inspired (Hemingway, Bernhard, Brautigan, Beckett, et

Why did you edit your post? It had some worth, but you edited into something of no worth, limp partisan bullshit.

We are not supposed to use past posting as proof on HN, we are supposed to respond to what was said. One of those unwritten rules which most get. Do you really believe that I can't find something in all of your posting history that doe

I downvote you but I don't flag OP, despite feeling the same about both of your posts. OP is at the very least trying to understand, even if they feel it is unfair, they leave the space for difference of opinion, not being right .

Even vouching for the response to you is not enough to bring it back from the dead so I can not reply to it, so I reply to you. Fox news is no more to blame than CNN or NPR, they all just play the game and try to get on the front page. Blam

At least 90% of HN flags any submission that is remotely political. It is rare that the the cable news networks are not at least remotely political. Most of the internet is dedicated to politics and consumerism, let us have our corner.

Reading through this thread, I can't help but think that Stanley Elkin got everything right when he wrote George Mills. The blurbs and reviews of George Mills often reduce it to being about the failures of the 99%, but I think it is

He did? I just scanned through it (watched it fully the first time) and could not find it. Or are you saying he admitted that it was not forgotten and did not read the rest of my post? He sort of admits that in a sideways fashion.
