I got started with some YT tuts on getting it setup and have been running it for the past day. I’m starting by cloning my main Pro Tools template into Reaper and so far… holy shit.

I can honestly say that I’ve slept on this DAW and understand why it has the following and support it does. I can make it my DAW. I have the chance to work on a new project with it today so let’s see how that goes.

Satoshi is an anagram of Trumps full name.

I believe Ardour is FOSS. I know a couple Linux guys that use it religiously and seem to have good results.

This is pretty much my same preferences too. I’ll always need Pro Tools because of my mixing clients tracking in PT and wanting to keep everything there. I use Ableton for production, live looping, and experimental stuff using it together with TouchDesigner.

I think that big goofy ass hat throws the perspective off.

I tried reaper years ago when it was still in its infancy. Maybe I need to try it again.

I suggest you first think about what your sources are? What microphones? Does it match the voice? How’s the proximity? How does the room sound? Can you hear the room? Not saying this is your case and it sounds harsher than what it means, but the old saying of “shit in, shit out” is always a good place to start. Check your sources.

It also sounds like compression might be needed on the vocal to level it. That way, whether you duck the BG music to the vocal, or have just vocals alone, things are even. EQ also plays a part in where stuff fits in the whole spectrum of sound.

Keep in mind that if the dynamics and equalization is off on each individual track, it’s trickier to balance stuff out bc it’s kinda untamed.

This definitely works for electric guitar too. Especially if both tracks have different takes.

A community I can actually help with some solid info! I have a few mixing/production tricks I’ll list out future posts for.

Ah true, good point.

With a Raspberry Pi, you can use it as a microcontroller but also as a computer that can run an OS. So it’ll have things like networking, display outputs, but also have pins to connect devices to. You program a Pi with Python.

An Arduino is more a microcontroller in the classical sense. It doesn’t run an OS, but rather the program you send to it, and that’s it. It’ll run that program forever. The programming language (or library as some refer to it) is more akin to C++.

EDIT: I should note that an arduino can have peripherals and things like networking too, but you’ll need to buy “hats” as they’re called. They sit on top of the arduino, extending the pins but also giving you extra functionality.

So I would say that if you’re explicitly trying to use Python, a Pi is the way to go. That said, there are toooons of guides out there with say “10 Raspberry Pi Projects for Beginners”. Sometimes Humble Bundle has bundles with those kinds of books.

Get yourself a kit online with basic components if you don’t have them already. And maybe a breadboard. Just dive in. Don’t overthink the projects in the beginning. Just try the easy stuff till you understand enough that you can try making your own devices.

Ooo nice. Love me a good one take film. Its definitely the next one on the watchlist. Thanks for sharing!

And then on top of that, if they phase workers out without some kind of universal income, how the hell do the corporate overlords expect us to have money to fuel their greed?

Cats are painted like they’re up to no good, even 400 years ago 😂

I honestly don’t see what’s ironic about it. It’s obviously a non-profit, which usually operate with volunteers and interns. At least they’re being honest about the internship being unpaid in the title rather than leading people on.

Was not expecting that 2nd paragraph.
