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 two other laptops. Will never use a…
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 and consider it a major red flag. What…
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 thing quite differently. You have to…
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 don't
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. Anyone who is a potential customer for a…
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 needed. The DSP in particular is fairly…
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 what you are doing and not at all like web…
This is absolutely not true for one simple reason: Subscriptions increase valuation of companies
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 to be above the curve? ... at reading?…
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, the MAJORITY of the cost is in the UI.…
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 used because it has been abstracted (yes I…
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 differently. The best I can do is guide…
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 its limits without going heavily into…
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 protonmail dot com
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
Right, I'm saying that is incorrect. Very incorrect. Some people do buy synths as sort of an art piece but they are rare Hardware synths absolutely still do have sonic capabilities that are difficult to emulate in…
Well if it helps: I was a sys admin before I quit in a huff and decided to never work again unless I was in the audio industry. Doing that was the single defining moment of my life and the one I am most proud of. Took a…
You just presented a fact: these companies are still in business And a hypothesis: this should not be because analog/digital modeling is very close in double blind tests However your hypothesis is already false because…
Glad you are enjoying it! I have become much more interested in the business and entrepreneur side of things lately... take that as you will ;)
"Synth mastery" is not just mathematical or psychoacoustics... let's add some things: Dave was routinely pushing the envelope when it came to these boundaries but many times it was too ahead of its time. The ARTISTS…
