I am aware that images aren’t loading properly right now. This is because the pictures engine crashed again and I wasn’t able to recover it this time.
Sunsetting Waveform.social - waveform.social
Hi there, I have decided to take down waveform.social. There are too many
nefarious actors trying to break it and I don’t have the time or energy to keep
fighting them off. For your information: Over the pas month I have had to: 1.
Add various DDOS prevention measures to block unwanted (repeated) signups. 2.
Delete a bunch of literal white noise uploads that filled my 4TB picture
storage… Twice. 3. Repair Lemmy (or rather pictures) after it crashed because of
full storage. I will keep waveform.social active until Friday next week so you
can pull data from here, though I expect most of it has been federated to other
servers anyway.

I got the Aiaiai TMA-2 STUDIO WIRELESS+ headphone and here's what I think - waveform.social
For a set of headphones that is so extremely visible online and offers quite a
unique feature, I couldn’t find much information on it that wasn’t hyperbolic.
So here I hope to provide a nuanced view. Note that my current set of cans and
therefore comparison are the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro. I realise this isn’t a
fair comparison as they are not only more expensive and not wireless. They are
also open back. ## Wireless Wireless low-latency headphones are awesome. Yeah
it’s noticeable to me but barely. The range is pretty much studio range. Don’t
expect to wear them into a different room but walking around your studio without
getting tangled in a long cable works very well. ## User Experience Getting set
up was easy. No installations or software packages. Just plug in an analog
signal, pair the transmitter and the headphones and go. There is volume control
on the headphones which was set really high to begin with causing a hiss due to
the high amplification. After turning the headphones down and the input signal
on, it works fine. There is no battery level indicator. Would have been a useful
addition. ## Audio Quality Now here’s the downside. They don’t sound anywhere
near as good as my current DT 1990s. I’d describe the quality as nasal and
slightly boomy. It’s really disappointing but in hindsight to be expected. ##
Keep it?
I will live with this set for about a week and use them in the
studio. I will decide whether or not to keep them after then. I suppose the big
question is: Can I live with the reduced audio quality just because they allow
me to hop onto my drum kit without switching headphones?
Selling a bunch of music gear - waveform.social
I am offloading a bunch of music gear. If you’re in Europe and are interested in
any of it, get in touch: https://www.marktplaats.nl/u/thomas-biesaart/16654962/
[https://www.marktplaats.nl/u/thomas-biesaart/16654962/] If you feel like sales
shouldn’t happen on this community, also let me know and I will probably delete
my post. We’re still looking to find a general consensus.
Nevermind, looks like this was fixed in v0.18.1 because after upgrading it works fine.
Embedding Content - waveform.social
I am working on a small web app to allow sharing audio and videos on my
instance. I read that lemmy supports embedding pages that provide opengraph
metadata. To test this I created a simple page:
https://chappio.gitlab.io/embed-demo/ [https://chappio.gitlab.io/embed-demo/]
But when I post it, no content gets embedded. My goal is to provide an
embeddable widget to my instance. What am I missing?
Reactive Audio Lights? - waveform.social
I make music for therapeutic reasons. I’ve found that immersive visualisations
and lights help with this a lot. I’ve already bought a couple of rack-mount
spectrum analysers and they are awesome. Do you know of other devices that
provide a similar visual experience? I know there are a bunch of cheap bouncing
led bars on ali express and the likes but there is a problem: They work based on
microphones. I need to be able to plug them in because I use headphones most of
the time. I know it is kind of niche but any pointers would be appreciated.
Custom HTML in themes? - waveform.social
I am looking to add video and audio clip upload functionality to the instance
over at waveform.social [https://waveform.social] since this is a music-focussed
instance. The way I am thinking about doing this is building a micro-app
(similar to pictrs but with a mini frontend) that allows my users to upload
audio and video clips and adding the required metadata to the pages to allow
embedding. I would love to add a few buttons (in nav and on the create-post)
page to link to this micro app to allow users to find it more easily. My first
thought was to create a custom theme. But from reading the docs, I can only see
mentions of css. Is there a way for me to modify the html to add these buttons?
Or do I have to fork lemmy-ui to be able to achieve this?
Can I edit the HTML of my custom theme?

Looking for UX / Graphical designer

Looking for UX / Graphical designer - waveform.social
Hi there, This site has a focus on music. Not being able to share audio clips
makes no sense. Of course you can use a third party tool to share audio clips
but I think the barrier is too big. Here’s what I want to do: I want to create a
micro application that allows people to upload audio or video clips to be able
to embed them into their posts. The design goals are: - low barrier of entry -
good viewing experience - useful on mobile Now I can easily do the technical
stuff (upload and store files, embedding, deployment) but I’ve always had a hard
time with graphical design for small apps with very few features. Would any of
you have the skills and time to contribute a design?
