Jessica the VI Artist🎚️🎹🌈<p>This is to say nothing of listening for cord, progressions, and other music theory attributes. Now I’m learning to tell the difference between different waveforms envelopes and other synthesizer sound attributes. But I haven’t learned to know if drums are tuned yet. I didn’t even know drums could be tuned! No matter how much we learn, there’s always more to learn. <a href="https://kind.social/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/MusicianLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicianLife</span></a> (2/2)</p>
Jessica the VI Artist🎚️🎹🌈<p>P. S. I labeled some things on the back in braille! This is clear, dymo tape, so the cited people of the world can still see through it if they are so inclined. I’m still deciding if I want to add anything more for the main outputs and the headphone jack so I can find them amid all the other stuff really quickly. <a href="https://kind.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/blindmasto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blindmasto</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/synthesizer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>synthesizer</span></a></p>

Chris Mills<p><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/LinuxAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxAudio</span></a> journey so far. I've downgraded to Linux Mint 21 Vanessa in the hopes that a nice looking script will work to load a bunch of <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> features. This looks great, but is 3 years old, though the scripts have all been maintained within the last 3 weeks. However - Cadence is not found in the KXStudio resources and the script errors out. Sad face. One day it might all come together - for now though, I just want to make music.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG6ipmOyfw0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=cG6ipmOyfw</span><span class="invisible">0</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>When I switch to the melodic range spectrogram layer, you can see WHERE the ref mix is louder. The low end is much more powerful throughout.</p><p>But there are also some short higher pitches (xylophone, I think?) arpeggiating throughout that are much louder. It's PRETTIER, but I didn't actually like how bright they were in the ref mix.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>Reference mix is on top; our mix is on bottom. These are normalized to -1 dB peak, because I am specifically evaluating the mix. (If I just wanted to compare how they sounded and which I preferred, then it would make sense to normalize to perceived loudness, the default for <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a>-normalize.)</p><p>Our mix has more dynamic range, prob too much. That fits _my_ tastes, but it's not what the market prefers. You can see some limiting in the ref mix, but not excessive.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a></p>

My new sticker order arrived. I am trying out TheStickyBrand.com, which had a promo to get 100 of these (about 3"x2") vinyl holographic stickers for $25.

I like the way they turned out. There are some other designs I'd like to have lots of. I will order more. These are destined to be given to my audio nerd friends (and former instructors, one of whom inspired the design).

Which is available here, btw: archive.org/details/bs-meter/B
