The one time I'm actively hoping for them to cancel a show they don't. What the fuck are they even thinking? I'd rather have another season of live action Cowboy Bebop than a season of Witcher without Henry. Watching the last three episodes of that show I'll ever watch as I type this.
It's been bugging me all day how I know that name and I just remembered. They were on this show and it's fucking awesome.
TMNT podcasts
The link goes to a video I made containing some highlights from a podcast, We Have To Stop Talking TMNT on CBB. It's funny as hell to me that someone that knows nothing about the turtles is forced to watch all the movies and a few others.
What other podcasts are out there that ya'll have found? I wanna hear them.
Had the same thing happen to me the other day. Rebooted and changed to another terminal with ctrl+alt+f2 then re-ran apt upgrade. It failed with a message saying to run some dpkg command first. It was finally able to recompile the kernel and get the nvidia drivers installed.
Weird. I was going to recommend trying [email protected] but that didn't work for me. I finally got it with https://lemmy.world/c/liveaudio but liveaudio should work as well now that I've subscribed.
Before or after getting trampled?
My bad. You're completely right. I forgot that's how I was doing it.
The only reason I saw to use the config software is that the sensitivity on the knobs needs to be modified or they just act like a toggle.
Ohh.. that looks cool. I don't have a lot of experience with MIDI controllers yet but I do have a Numark DJ MIDI turntable thing. Sometimes I use the faders on it to record automation on a track or two in Reaper.
If you're using Jack and Carla (or similar) here's what I'd do.
Open Carla or QjackCtl or something so you can see what changes on the graph when you plug it in.
For me when I plug in a new device it add a new midi_capture in the "system" list. Connect that to one of Reaper's MIDI inputs. In my example I'm connecting "midi_capture_2" to "MIDI input 2"
Then in Reaper I open the preferences (ctrl+p) then go to Audio > MIDI Devices. In the top list I set the mode for midi_capture_2 to "Enabled+Control".
Now as a test I create a new track with the plugin "ReaControlMIDI". Towards the top-right of the plugin is a button, "Show Log". Click that and then move stuff on your controller. If you see data then all you have to do is map your controls.
This is where things get tricky and I won't be able to help too much since I'm still learning the ropes myself.
ReaLearn seems to be the best way to configure random MIDI devices to do whatever you want.
https://www.helgoboss.org/projects/realearn/#getting-started
If you have ReaPack
- add the repo - https://github.com/helgoboss/reaper-packages/raw/master/index.xml
- search for "realearn" and install
Update: I decided to spend some time learning more about ReaLearn and found that there are already some mappings for the NanoKontrol2. I've also seen a few different sources say you need to use the Korg Kontrol Editor software to make a few config changes on the device. I don't have the device but I did test the software in WINE and it at least installs and opens. I've had to do this with Behringer software before and it works fine.
https://github.com/helgoboss/realearn/blob/master/doc/controllers.adoc#319-korg-nanokontrol2
This release also makes it possible to automatically activate supported control surfaces once theyâre connected to USB MIDI ports. This feature currently works with the Ableton Push 2, PreSonus FaderPort 8, PreSonus FaderPort 16, Softube Console 1, and Contour Design Shuttle controllers.
This is awesome. I've been holding back on control surfaces like this for a while.
While Ardour 7.4 introduced sections to mark a range as a chorus and paste its entire contents and automation elsewhere, Ardour 7.5 improves this feature by adding some editor commands like cutting and pasting, copying and pasting, deleting, and inserting.
Nice as well. That's something I never knew I wanted until I had it. I suppose it's time to upgrade from 6.9.
Infowars host Owen Shroyer has pleaded guilty to joining the mob of Donald Trump supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol
Infowars host Owen Shroyer has pleaded guilty to joining the mob of Donald Trump supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol.
WASHINGTON -- Infowars host Owen Shroyer, who promoted baseless claims of 2020 election fraud on the far-right internet platform, pleaded guilty on Friday to joining the mob of Donald Trump supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol.
Shroyer, who didnât enter the Capitol but led rioters in chants near the top of the building's steps, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of illegally entering a restricted area. The charge carries a maximum sentence of one year behind bars.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly scheduled a Sept. 12 sentencing hearing for the 33-year-old Shroyer, who has hosted a daily show called âThe War Room With Owen Shroyerâ for the website operated by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Shroyer stood in front of a crowd with a megaphone and yelled that Democrats are âtyrants.â
"And so today, on January 6, we declare death to tyranny! Death to tyrants!" he shouted.
Near the top of steps on the Capitolâs east side, Shroyer, whoâs from Austin, Texas, led hundreds of rioters in chants of âUSA!â and â1776!â He later said in an affidavit that he stood with Jones as Jones tried to deescalate the situation.
But, prosecutors wrote in a court filing, "Harkening to the last time Americans overthrew their government in a revolution while standing on the Capitol steps where elected representatives are certifying a Presidential Election you disagree with does not qualify as deescalation."
Hundreds of people have been charged with storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, disrupting a joint session of Congress for certifying the 2020 presidential election victory by Biden, a Democrat, over Trump, a Republican. Shroyer, who was charged in August 2021 with four misdemeanor counts, is among a few defendants who neither went inside the Capitol nor were accused of engaging in violence or destruction.
Shroyer's attorney has accused prosecutors of trampling on Shroyer's constitutional rights to âprotest, speak freely and report the news.â Defense attorney Norm Pattis said Shroyer attended Trump's âStop the Stealâ rally as a journalist who intended to cover the event for his Infowars show.
"The First Amendment permits and protects the rights of individuals to assemble and engage in demonstrations that confront and criticize the government, even when those demonstrations become rowdy or unruly," Pattis wrote.
Prosecutors said the First Amendment doesnât protect the conduct for which Shroyer was charged.
âShroyerâs claimed status as a journalist does not immunize him from criminal prosecution," prosecutors wrote.
Shroyer, who has worked at Infowars since 2016, said he went to Washington, D.C., with Jones and others who worked for the website. Jones hasn't been charged with any Jan. 6-related crimes.
An Infowars video promoting âthe big D.C. marches on the 5th and 6th of Januaryâ ended with a graphic of Shroyer and others in front of the Capitol.
A day before the Capitol insurrection, Shroyer called in to a live Infowars broadcast and internet program and said, âEverybody knows this election was stolen.â
"Are we just going to sit here and become activists for four years or are we going to actually do something about this, whatever that cause or course of cause may be?â he added, according to prosecutors.
Shroyer said in an affidavit that he accompanied Jones and his security detail to Capitol grounds on Jan. 6.
âI walked with Mr. Jones up several steps and stood near him as he addressed the crowd from a bullhorn urging them to leave the area and behave peacefully,â Shroyer said.
Phone records showed that leaders of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group were in contact with Jones and Shroyer before and during the Jan. 6 riot, according to the House committee that investigated the attack. Enrique Tarrio, who was the Proud Boys' national chairman, texted with Jones three times and Shroyer five times during the riot, and Proud Boys chapter leader Ethan Nordean exchanged 23 text messages with Shroyer in the two days before Jan. 6, the committee said.
Tarrio, Nordean and two other Proud Boys leaders were convicted in May of seditious conspiracy charges for what prosecutors said was a violent plot to stop the transfer of power from Trump to Biden after the 2020 election.
Shroyer is one of two Infowars employees arrested on Capitol riot charges. Samuel Montoya, who worked as a video editor for Jones' website, was sentenced in April to four months of home detention. Montoya entered the Capitol and captured footage of a police officer fatally shooting a rioter, Ashli Babbitt.
Also on Friday, a Colorado man who marched to the Capitol with members of the Proud Boys and was one of the first rioters to enter the building was sentenced to four years in prison for attacking police officers with a chemical spray as they tried to hold off the mob of Trump supporters.
Robert Gieswein, of Woodland Park, Colorado, was wearing a helmet, a flak jacket and goggles and was carrying a baseball bat when he stormed the Capitol. Gieswein, then 24, marched to the building from the Washington Monument with the Proud Boys but wasnât a member of the group.
Gieswein repeatedly sprayed an âaerosol irritantâ at police officers and pushed against a line of police, according to a court filing accompanying his guilty plea to assault charges.
âYou were a foot soldier in one of the most disturbing riots our nation has seen in years,â U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden told Gieswein, who gets credit for the more than two years that he already has served in custody.
Federal authorities have said Gieswein appeared to be an adherent of the Three Percenters militia movement and ran a private paramilitary training group called the Woodland Wild Dogs.
More than 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot. Over 600 of them have pleaded guilty, while over 100 others have been convicted after a trial.
Good idea. I should put some work into the sidebar and slap a bunch of resources in there.
Definitely check out Reaper just as a comparison. The license is essentially free and you pay to get rid of the nag screen. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything...ever! I used it like that for the first week until I realized how much I liked it. Reaper and Ardour together are fantastic.
My goal is to create music for video games.
Nice! There are so many good free virtual synths out there. If you have a MIDI controller/keyboard with plenty of knobs you'll have a blast. We were just talking about the best free synths the other day.....
Vital, Surge XT, Viking VK-1, Odin 2, TAL U-No 60. Synth1, Helm, Vital, dexed, Cardinal/VCVRack
I've tried most of these. They're all cool for their own reasons. I personally like the modular stuff (VCV) because you can make generative patches that change over time without really having to do anything. Just fiddle with the knobs and pretend like they're too hot to touch :D
So much depends on your workflow, hardware, and work requirements.
I personally think you should figure out those things first and then see if you can achieve that with OSS.
If the workflow of Ableton is what you need or prefer then I would say just switch now and use that. Some style of music appears easier to produce with Ableton. Clip launching, loops, that kind of live DJ type stuff.
If you're looking to stick with the Pro Tools style workflow then I think you should stick with Ardour. Their documentation used to say that if you didn't know how to do something and it wasn't in the manual then just look at the Pro Tools docs.
My background....
Back in 2008 I started off fresh. Only knowing how to use Audacity and switched to Ardour because it was too hard to get a decent mix when all you can do is destructive editing. I switched to Reaper for MIDI work two years ago but I still export from that and finish tracks off in Ardour because I prefer the mixing and mastering process in Ardour. It's just more familiar and I can get what I want faster.
Sorry if I assume you're less experienced than you are. It seems like you've got an insane amount of musical skill but you're new to the recording aspect.
If you're just getting started in audio production then I think the most important thing you can do is learn the general concepts. How you do implement these in various DAWs might be a little different but most likely you're going to be using the same concepts (compression, sends to reverbs, bussing, etc), plugins, the same hardware, and all in the same room. Basically, I don't think the software you use is the largest factor in the potential for your music. Composition > performance > sound treatment > recording quality > the other stuff.
One thing I can say for sure is that if you're going to be recording MIDI data in Ardour you'll probably not have a great time. I used to think it was fine until I tried Reaper. There probably have been some improvements to it since I've used it last and I know they added a clip launch feature to be more similar to Ableton but I just don't think that's where Ardour shines (which is tracking, mixing, and mastering).
Also, if you ever need help with Ardour you should stop by [email protected].
Funkwhale is one i just found about. Im now running that on the same machine as lemmy. if i had mine ready to show off I'd give you a link but it's empty for now.
Good to know and I was hoping that's the case. As soon as my new domain resolves I'm going to install lemmy, matrix, and funkwhale.
Are you running all of yours in containers?
Hahahah...that is pretty rad. I looked through some of the guides and saw you're limited to 100,000 a year. Hope that's enough :D.
I suppose if someone was just cranking out generative tunes that wouldn't be too hard.
How cool would it be if every podcast episode just had its own place in the fediverse with a place to chat and it all worked together somehow automatically.
Have you checked out Funkwhale yet?
That's good to know. Seems required for Distrokid but not CDBaby. Have you used BeatStars at all?
There was a comment in that article that links to an online version.
http://darwingrosse.com/ScoreBuilder/
Is that notation supposed to make sense? Like synth tab?
Have you thought about how youâre going to release it?
I've done a little research but have been putting that off so I can focus on what we have left to finish. We still have a lot of artwork to do as well. Album cover, some videos, some historical fiction writing for our websites.
We'll either use CDBaby or Distrokid but probably CDBaby. I like the idea of paying once instead of a yearly fee to keep stuff online. I don't expect to make much (or any) money on this but I'm going to invest in it and do it right just in case. I'd hate to put it out there and miss out on those fractions of pennies trickling in.
Several articles I read about releasing music suggested setting up a publishing company to retain more control of the royalties. Is that something you did?
Looking forward to their tour.

The Wrath of Becky: Directed by Matt Angel, Suzanne Coote. With Lulu Wilson, Seann William Scott, Denise Burse, Jill Larson. Two years after escaping a violent attack, a teenage girl must defend herself against a terrorist cell.
I suspect many of you have seen this one and/or the first one, Becky (2020). Curious to know all your thoughts.
It started about 5 minutes ago. AMA or give me spoilers.
Update: I rescind the AMA. I don't know what the fuck that was and would like to forget it.
Sitala 2.0 released. No longer free and they've dropped Linux support.
Anyone else use Sitala or have any experience with the new version?

Since I'm in the process of deleting my 15yo. reddit account I decided to start organizing communities I hope to see grow here. There was not already an existing community so I thought this would be the right instance for it because of its focus on music and music production.

I'd be happy to not be the only moderator (or a moderator at all).
