I'm pretty content with FLStudio (with various VST plugins) and Sound Forge, and Audacity when I need to work with something in a weird format. Sometimes the plugins can get crashy but I just bounce to WAV and unload the offending plug

FLStudio lets you save a new incremental version with CTRL+N, I use that as a sort of version control so I can roll back to an older version of an ideas if needed. Doesn't provide any equivalent of merging with head or branching or any

To be honest, I really like existing tools and workflows and I don't really want that to change. > Open a DAW from the year 2000 and it’s highly likely you’ll recognise the vast majority of the features — both functionally and visua

Computers have been that way since forever. It wouldn't be nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

Maybe but I don't do critical listening on club systems unless I'm checking my own mixdowns. Unless the DJ is redlining (which they shouldn't be if they're competent) the audio should come out of the mixer relatively unm

They have the same problem as nearly every other digital music store that isn't beatport.... and that is that they aren't beatport (or rather, they don't have beatport's catalog)

I'm pretty sure the 16-vs-24 thing has been proven already. 24-bit only really makes sense if you're fucking with the material. Same with 44.1khz vs higher sample rates.

I'm a DJ on mid-range monitoring hardware and I can definitely hear the difference with apple's encodes vs FLAC, at least on their older encodes. I am not 100% sure its the compression protocol (could be differences in mastering s

I don't know the mechanics, my guess is they translate the MIDI notes to the scale given to them by a tuning file Here's a pretty comprehensive-looking list of software instruments supporting microtuning: https://en.xen

Idunno, half the instrument VSTs I have seem to support some form of microtuning or alternate tunings...

I found MDMA similarly eye-opening, dealing with depression and anxiety. It was the first time I truly felt free of anxiety, like it just vanished and I could feel somewhat normal. This was many many years ago, and since then I use these ex

Is this "not corrupting the registry" really a thing that people are worried about when you're using Windows' APIs to access it?

As a photog who leans heavily on contrast and saturation, images without this touch just feel amateurish and incomplete. My edits are what separate me from the smartphone-wielding, blinded-by-computational-photography masses, and I like for

I remember that. It was a really good store, the first of its kind IIRC. Every so often I think about what happened to the games I owned on there?

While I agree, and my own business education was very much like this, it is management that is closest to shareholder primacy and the public-market monster that is mandatory, unlimited growth. It is these perverse incentives that fuel rent-

I don't want them to change their name, I want them to open-source their models. And its not about HN, it is about the larger community grumbling. Not that it will do anything but if they're going to annoy us with their disingenuo

Only openAI, they're the ones absuing the word 'open' > Are we rioting against capitalism or something? That would be nice... can we do it Fight Club style?

So pretty much, "shut up and accept it, peon" Yeahno... that's not gonna suffice. Squeaky wheel gets the oil!

Yeah, the whole 'open' part of this was them aligning themselves philosophically with open-source. But of course they throw that away when the money comes talking...

It would be really nice if it didn't shit the bed over Swing apps. Distributing a nonmodularized Java Swing app in 2023 is far more difficult than it should be.

Yeah. I worked on a lending platform that used floats (!!!), and their response when I brought this up was that as long as the result is within something like $10, it was not an issue. I brought up specific math problems that floats couldn&

Those things are cool... but I don't need them. I suspect many of us don't. I like BSD's simplicity, consistency, and its native integration with ZFS. I don't know about deterministic builds but I suspect it does that wi
