   The platform is really about uploading strictly annotated loops and stems to the server and have them exposed via an API. The DAW thing your looking at is really just away to preview the content. So I'm trying to see how far I can pu

   ps - all the samples/loops are royalty free. I created REAPER daw scripts in LUA to quickly create beats/loops which are machine annotated and then upload directly to the backend.

   Honestly still trying to figure out what I'm even building, but I agree, the load time is pretty bad. Also I'm using the smallest instance of Postgress Google Cloud Run offers and I've never stress-tested it before :)

   Agreed, I'm trying to work the angle where you quickly arrange loops and midi then download a bundle to import into your favorite desktop DAW.

   I agree. Although I'm using the term DAW it's really a loop arranger pulling from the server.

   Thanks for pointing that out. It's still very much a WIP. I'll fix that!

    When I moved to Vancouver from Toronto I found the homeless population striking. I'd ask people why they thought its the case. Many folks are of the mind that its pretty much the only city in Canada a person can sleep on the street 36

    Great post! I'm very enthusiastic about the WebAudioApi. I'm currently building an audio sample pipeline and enabling users to preview combinations of loops via the api! https://signalsandsorcery.org

    I think it goes way beyond toys. Here's my use case: I'm building an audio sample pipeline. And I want people to be able to preview combinations of loops and samples in the browser. Asking someone to download a native app just

    Maybe I'm old but the fact that this is running in the browser blows my mind. I'm really hoping effort keeps going towards the WebAudioApi!

    It is very easy to source at North American music festivals. Particularly EDM-ish festivals. In fact its very common for people just offer to sell it to you unprompted. (I suspect Europe is similar but I have not really attended festivals t

    Maybe a more useful contribution is to say that mushroom 'highs' are cumulative. I've been a bit of a casual nibbler for 25 yrs or so. You can always eat a little more but you can't uneat them. So that's all. The

    Hmm, I worry about the doses listed. 1.6g of potent caps will get you right fucked. If you haven't done them before and are planning on having a couple drinks and socializing etc I recommend no more than 0.5g (for at least 1.5hrs) th

    I'm intrigued, but its not 100% clear to me what this is. Is this essentially parallel to Sonic PI? What generates the actual sound? Does it control synths via MIDI or are synths/oscillators in the codebase? Thx

    Hmm, the first thing that comes to mind is DL4J https://deeplearning4j.org/ I guess DL4J is NNet focused and maybe Tribuo is a toolkit, not sure.
