Actually, I read "Save the Cat!" last night, just for fun. And while the rockstar geniuses here on HN were enlightening us on "pathologically risk averse" studio execs, "perspective scripts", "Hollywood&#x

Hey guys, I wish you all the best with your company, but I really think you could use a native English speaker to craft your PR messages. Just for starters, any native English speaker will tell you that saying you're a "modern company" is n

Comments such as these never cease to astonish me; I'm not sure what musicians/artists have done to warrant your unremitting contempt, but it is that which oozes out of every statement you make. - "People who are creative can stil create th

Thanks, the ability to export to Ableton would be very cool. It's actually not that hard; Ableton can import midi, so as long as you set up the actual sounds yourself it's as simple as storing a .mdi file on Dropbox or Google Drive. That's

Sure, on the server side we have jetty running an HttpServlet, which currently just applies the computations straight on the request thread. Yes, you read that right! It's designed to be run on remote servers, but we haven't gotten quite th

Thanks for your advice and comments! I've always thought the app has the potential to go viral but it's really nice to hear it from someone else. Thanks also for the advice on not over-engineering and delivering a functioning if minimal pro

Sorry for treading on your toes then! :) Feel free to email us at dev@beatmaticapp.com, and we can have a chat about implementation. There's a lot of rough edges and it would be great to talk with someone who's dealing with the same issues!

It's different in that almost all audio to midi plugins only consist of onset and tempo detection. Whereas Beatmatic also features classification of the sounds, so it lays them onto tracks for you. And yes, Beatmatic can detect any two (and

First off, thanks! I've been thinking about playing around with that plugin for some time, I just haven't got around to it yet. My understanding is that there is no voice to music feature -- it's more about vocoder and harmonizer effects. I

A 10x reduction from Java->Clojure is IMHO suspicious. A ~2-3x reduction I would (just about) believe. It's possible that some of the improvement came from having solved the same problem for the third time.

What's hypocritical is that Google itself engages in "censorship" on a colossal scale, in the name of preventing spammy results (e.g. co.cc domains, not to mention Google's dealings with China). To be clear, I personally have no problem wit

As a citizen, you have virtually no power to set tax rates. Does that mean you shouldn't pay your taxes?

FYI Executive Director at GS means the same thing as VP, which sounds much more impressive than it actually is. There are literally thousands of them. To put it another way, ED is a level up from Analyst. The real cheese begins at Managin

It seems pretty logical that St. Anthony's -- in certain cases -- is preferrable to the AA model. What bothers me is that my understanding is that a large percentage of long-time alcoholics and homeless have mental health issues. These issu

This article is, sadly, typical of the anti-RIAA brigade. The modus operandi is essentially to portray small, irrelevant details ("tut, tut, no adjustment for inflation!") or imprecise or non-legalistic terminology ("It's not theft, it's co

IIRC Microsoft invested in Apple at their low point, and also agreed to continue to support their Office suite on Apple computers. I would call that a partnership.
