No. Definitely not. I was very surprised after doing some mixdowns on the onboard laptop soundcard on my Macbook pro that it sounded AWFUL when pushed to real speakers. Tried it on…

My good friend Dylan runs https://producerdojo.com and I design music instruments for a living. One of the most underrated reasons to go to that site is the solid and extremely sup…

If a prospective employee told me a story about how they used a note-taking app like this to optimize their school grade output I would be extremely worried for a lot of reasons an…

It's not called the Kawii?

There's a fine line between eustress (positive stress) and distress (negative stress) The magazine has a narrative it is trying to push. Anyone running a business sees this type of…

I quit a relatively high paying job at Yahoo doing system administration to follow a passion in audio Now I design synthesizers for a living. Way happier!

That may just be his process. He explains things to help himself understand it better. I would be THRILLED to have someone who wanted to explain things like I was 5, lots of people…

At some point I need to write an article about this topic. I disagree with a lot of the conclusions about that article. You aren't making a lathe for someone with no experience. An…

When you take audio out of the equation you don't need a lot of things: What makes the sound? Not needed anymore. So any ADC/DACs, DSP code, analog voice hardware, etc is not neede…

You are about to bite off a lot. I do this for a living. You have some software experience, this is good. Assuming you have embedded software experience (which is essential for wha…

This is absolutely not true for one simple reason: Subscriptions increase valuation of companies

I can't see this changing much if they water it down to a point where liability isn't an issue. If a company is weighing whether to put resources into a security update vs. roll th…

This is one of my favorite things to do, it reveals a lot about fundamental skills I never really actively think about... If I'm below average at walking, what would it look like t…

I don't think automakers ever thought drivers LIKED touch screens, it was just so much cheaper that someone saw the margins and decided to go for it. When we design synthesizers, t…

The mental model I’ve found most useful in guessing how this will affect us is the migration from assembly to a more human readable C compiler Nowadays assembly is almost never use…

I definitely have given out the sysex info to people. Post on the forum and see if someone has it accessible, if not I’ll look through my emails to find it when I have a moment

Sadly no, for a number of reasons not least of which is multiple CPUs and too much necessary documenting to do that and even if… I don’t think Focusrite would be too keen on it

If I was going to give people a trail of breadcrumbs I'd do it in a coded kazoo message

If some users don't get angry then it isn't innovative enough. Innovation naturally leads to people forced to learn things out of their comfort zone and everybody responds to that …

Roger made sure it sounded 'right' but beyond that I had a lot of control over the specifics. I shot for a much higher degree of precision than other instruments (even lots of digi…

I spent a majority of my life during that time doing everything I could to update it on a regular basis and burnt out. Sometimes you just have to let it go.

I did the whole thing from scratch. I was not trying to emulate anything in particular, I was working with what we had in the hardware to optimize. We basically pushed the chip to …

I wrote the DSI Tempest OS (including sequencer and swing) Feel free to ask questions!

How do we get in touch? That is exactly what I'm looking for, I'm sure I can contribute a lot as well as I have been in the space for quite a while. My email is pymento+HN at proto…

Some odd associations here... whimsy gives back, among other things: maggot I have never seen a whimsical maggot, nor do I think I want to
