The contents of the article are about Irregular hosting the testbed to prevent these kinds of incidents, which was “misconfigured.” Incompetence vs malice and all that. Would the n…

Hi HN, long time lurker Sam here. I run a small, bootstrapped audio software company called Musik Hack that this year started podcasting with artists and engineers in the industry.…

Music, as tracked by Billboard, cross genre, is as loud as ever. Here’s a survey of Billboard music: https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/mastering-trends?srsltid=Af... I have an Audio…

I enjoy this take. Funding something is not the same as creating it. The Medicis were not artists, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Raphael, etc were. You might not be a creator, but you …

A lot of what these AI tools do would classically be considered trying to “fix” a subpar mix, rather than just mastering. This is often not a super transparent change to the sound.…

This does work, but the sound of it isn’t super pleasing and it limits your filter design options. Checking out time domain IIR filters and methods for generating coefficients gets…

Classic biquad approach with instructions for calculating coefficients of various filter shapes: https://webaudio.github.io/Audio-EQ-Cookbook/audio-eq-cookbo... An analog modeling …

Some music: Big Star - “#1 Record” Classic rock you could swear you’ve heard before but probably haven’t cause it had no radio play in its day. Os Mutantes - “Os Mutantes” What if …

What a polarizing building! I had a professor that spent a considerable amount of time in France and he said a common joke among the building’s detractors was: “The best view in Pa…

Hi HN, I'm Sam! Long time reader here who finally left a desk job in embedded systems a few years ago to start my own company (Musik Hack) as the technical chops, with my co-founde…

Just a quick nudge back on this: people in DSP would disagree with the assertion that nobody is going over big loops and using a virtual method on each element. We often have to pr…

This seems to be a corporate version of what I’ve witnessed: large groups of people getting together in vacation rentals or studios at writing camps and breaking off into small gro…

I second this and thank you heartily for reminding me of hammerhead. These dreams are very familiar!

I agree with a lot of what you’re saying here. But there are two opposing points: if you doubt that removing aliasing would matter, then you can’t also hold that aliasing on purpos…

It does. Oversampling is the classic way to reduce that problem, but some newer techniques to mitigate hard clipping aliasing (or any transfer function aliasing) with GitHub repo e…

What? Low rated Cripps Pink and high rated Pink Lady? Isn’t it the same cultivar, just Pink Lady is trademarked?

This reminds me of https://wanderersunion.club/ which I had meant to attend but never did.

I have an old copy of this book, which you can find for about $20, and it’s excellent! https://encyclotronic.com/books/theory/synthesizer-basics-th...

Much thanks!

This is basically the reason I stopped, I psychologically cared too much about attention, but was completely uninterested in learning how to game the system for views or market it,…

Thanks for the feedback! When I get back to the project I’ll look into an index. That “feels” better than search to me, for a collection < 100 recipes.

If it helps at all, my advice is to pick one approachable dish you love to eat and learn to cook it. Do it again and again and get good at that one dish, adjusting it each time as …

Thanks! I was going for no frills so I’m glad it came out that way for you.

Shameless plug but I tried to do that at https://www.sammakesfood.com . I made videos for the recipes too, but you do not have to watch those. It was a hobby project (not monetized…
