x42 Digital Peak Limiter - easy and excellent!

Here's my favorite limiter plug-in!

I've made two unique pieces of music for this video:

  • "Super Sale" for the intro
  • "True Peak" for the outro (based on the exact sound we've been using to test the limiter)

There's another video coming up that's tied into this one, showing a plethora of different open-s...

Creating Seamless Loops (Audacity -vs- Ardour)

Creating Seamless Loops (Audacity -vs- Ardour)

I figured, since Audacity is suffering from the Muse Group's privacy attacks, people may want to see how to do the same things in Ardour.

And maybe they'll also see that a lot of things are done faster and better in Ardour ;)

Enjoy!

unfa live Q&A

unfa live Q&A

This was not supposed to be a live Q&A sesh, but it became one.
I wanted to test if I can stream live video from my phone while on the go.

I can! Albeit in 15 FPS 720p.
I'll see what can I do with a laptop using the phone's 4G link instead.
I may need to set up an SRT > RTMP restreamer (some crazy FFmpeg one-liner I guess)...

Offtopic: Hairy Man Screams About Linux In The Woods (EXPLICIT)

There's a nice chunk of wood close to where I live. And my community has given me ideas to make a "Luke Smith type" video.

I was pondering that idea, and one day before me and my wife went for a stroll - I thought of this.
I presented the idea to my wife, and she came up with a response to the initial question, which h...

May's livestream was amazing!

This time I've prepared a live performance of acid drum&bass live sequenced using Carla, Stochas, Surge, Geonkick, AVL Drumkits, Agordejo and Non Mixer.

I've given a 30-minute performance, and after that explained how it works, and how I made it.

Amazingly - nothing broke. Nothing crashed. Everything went smoothly just as plann...

Here's a random video of me driving and talking for almost half an hour.
