This was just the break from doomscrolling I needed. Tons of heartwarming #404day videos from our friends in Japan (here in the West, of course, the day's not over...)
All that and a detailed breakdown of 5.50 and side chain compression on the SP-404MKII.

And yes, I do need to do a rundown of changes in Kdenlive, too.
OpenShot 3.5: faster, more stable, more creative open-source video editor for Mac, Windows, and Linux:

I'm not even sure what to make of ComfyUI (AI) integration, but that's there, too.

So much of what we do in music production is solitary. So for this series, I wanted to bring together what you'd want to know to play together. How to tune gear and instruments, adjust to scales/modes or tuning systems, explore pitch and harmony, and more.
It's Trans Day of Visibility everybody! We cannot even begin to stress how important our trans contributors are in pushing KDE's project forward.
Thanks 🏳️⚧️folks!
Sure enough — here’s a dev doing it before. What are the odds that what we’re looking at is basically just sophisticated plagiarism?!
Updated with various FAQ (see bottom) -- most interesting, the mechanism is "based on a Japanese Sony-derived architecture and uses an electromagnetic AC erase head." And they detail shipping & customs, too, for us:
It was arguably the moment the boombox peaked: the GF-909/GF-777 from Sharp boasted dual cassettes, radio, and massive sound. Now, Bumpboxx has decided to reboot that boom box, with a modern machine that can do everything -- CDs, tapes, radio, USB, Bluetooth connectivity, the works. It could be a holy grail across every generation burned out on soulless streaming and ready to love music all over again.
Despite everything, these folks are still getting aid into the south of Lebanon at enormous risk. I didn't focus on this in the most recent write-up, but this is a good project to follow, support, and share.
