You do realize you are on a tech forum? >Having a live product is a full time job even if you change a single line of a code once in a while. I have launched dozens of products and changing a single line of code once in a while is defini

The steep dive in quality of the mainstream media started with the invention of the 24-hour news cycle. Focus shifted from quality to quantity.

Are you saying that if I don't enjoy watching live video of e.g. an anthill 24/7 then I am actually not interested in unbiased media and crave drivel like CNN? That's... one way to reason I guess.

At $10K per pair in the first dev batch and the consumer version price still unknown, it's not surprising that this was not a reasonable option for Apple. It's going to be interesting to see the actual price and the specs once the

When talking about department stores people in Europe will likely mean something like Selfridges in London, not Costco or Walmart. A vast difference in service and presentation.

I am not sure if this fits your usecase - but why not just to use encrypted Notes on a Mac or iPhone (if you have an Apple device), and set a daily reminder? What does WhatsApp have that Notes doesn't?

Totally agree regarding the piano roll. Same with the sample editor. Saying that, DAWs just have different specialization. E.g. for a long time midi support in ProTools was extremely limited. Cakewalk already had an excellent piano roll in

Haven't seen any good Live UI write-ups but here is a video covering the history of its creation and evolution: https://www.youtube.com/live/aG2h9NJXYi0

I was so impressed by Bitwig since the beta. Just couldn't find anything major enough to make the switch from Live. Also, M4L is such an amazing ecosystem, I would miss it. Any features in more recent Bitwig versions that stand out?

In my experience, unnecessary processes can creep in into any org, regardless of the planning framework used. Agile or no Agile, over-planning cripples teams.

I fell in love with the Session view when I started using Live in the early 2000s. But the thing is, even the most basic production nowadays uses a ton of automation, variations, break downs, single shots, etc. Session view just doesn'

I produce music since the early 2000s and used to own a music studio. And to answer your question: not everyone, "no one in my (limited) experience" uses the Session view for composition.

I didn't mean "default" in the sense that it's the first view in a new session. It's one of the only two default views. It would be useful to me if I could open a different view on my second screen.

In case you missed it, Live 12 has take lanes now, far better for comping.

I worked in companies that are committed to Agile and companies that have a completely custom planning and development process. I don't understand your argument. What process in Agile dictates shipping subpar UI? Build, test, file bugs

This sounds like a lead/architect issue. If you can't roll out a custom UI component library, use one of several mature libraries that already handles these cases. Accumulating tens or hundreds of thousands of lines of UI tech deb

Not sure what this has to do with Agile. Companies that move fast and have complex UI almost always use React (or similar) and a UI component library that handles all these edge cases. Writing CSS for every checkbox makes no sense in Agile.

In the sense of having a simple UI? Both Dexed and FM8 are excellent FM synths, admittedly with a more cluttered UI.

The interesting thing about that is that no one in my (limited) experience uses the session view as it was intended to be used for music composition. After trying it for a bit, everyone seems to revert back to using the linear Arrangement v

Selfless people do not exist for biological and evolutionary reasons (self-preservation and such). But then... you are responding to someone who calls other people "normies".
