Beady Belle FanchannelMan, from the deceptive dark patterns you know that #musescore is a ethically challenged bunch, but I wasn’t aware it was this dire

Jennifer Moore 😷I've used Audacity from time to time, so I was a little bit curious anyway, but this video from Tantacrul was really interesting on more fundamental topics too:
• change management
• technical debt
• usability
• discoverability
• defaults
and balancing the needs of newcomers against people who've got used to things working as they do now.
Respect!
(Audacity is audio editing software, simpler than e.g. Reaper or ProTools.)

Musescore could be great, if their sales team was less scammy

@sjolsen not really, cuz if @tantacrul evidenced one thing, it's that #UI & #UX can be quantified as "good" and/or "bad" and actually implement the best possible option given the workflows at hand (conversely to what @landley once said: #FLOSS can do UI & UX; [tho he also said that consistency is key and #Tantacrul certainly does not just design but also tests this designs more thoroughly than most GAFAMs do their products...])
- And I do have to give him credit for modernizing applications that indeed need some overhaul, as #Audacity did look like something from #Windows95, #macOS9 or #Amiga (and we all can agree that any application from back then that's still around regardless if #Photoshop, #Cubase or even #Sibelius had to move on and change…).
Personally I do hate the #RibbonUI because it's wasteful in terms of screen space and demands way more clicks and mouse travel in my workflows.

How We're Redesigning Audacity For The Future
@elfin I mean this is serious criticism by @tantacrul and the fact that #Sibelius is a real production app that has de-facto monopolized #notation is fucking frightening to the point that if #Tantacrul wasn't busy making #MuseScore better I'd claim notation beyond manual writing is dead.
Ferdi F. Zebua (backup)This video—published just one week but I only watched just now—was how I learned that Finale was finally discontinued last year. Wow.

I'm not a music student, I studied communications in college, but I did dabble in a little bit of music back then and I once used Finale to write down one single little, /very amateurish/ classical guitar etude in Finale that I had messed around with on my guitar for years by then at the time. The finale file might still be somewhere among my old hard drives & old PCs, might even be somewhere in my Google Drive or MS OneDrive or DropBox or something. I doubt I could convert it to MusicXML to rescue it at this time, even if I could find it again.
Anyways, loved the video. Very surreal. One hour long fair warning.
(And yes my use of em dashes in this post is intentional.)

A good refresher on everything that happened. Thought there might be people here that might be interested in that.

cxsquaredAs always, #Tantacrul's videos deliver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPyJBJTHyO0 I quite facebook quite a long time ago and now I'm doubly glad I did. If you view facebook as something that you need to continue using I highly suggest finding (or at least searching for) an alternative.
