I’m not sure what you’re up to but if you are using software to do it, perhaps a multiband compressor would be more suitable than an EQ.

No. It doesn’t work like that at all.

You might as well turn up the volume knob to gain back the lost amplitude. That will maintain the mix that you just set to your liking. Just set it as you like it.

However, if you do boost the frequencies a lot so the signal starts clipping, then it begins to make sense to adjust the faders in relation to each other until it stops clipping and still have the “shape” that you like, and then use the volume knob afterwards again.

For instance, if you like a lot of bass and turn up the bass, then it’ll likely clip. It might be better to turn everything else but the bass down and then boost the volume.

This is mostly an issue for the bass area. Our hearing is (logarithmically) less sensitive to low frequencies, so in order to turn up the bass we have to make it much louder than if we want to turn up the treble. The bass easily takes up the entire “headroom” available in the signal, resulting in clipping before it is amplified. The rule of thumb is that cutting is better than boosting.

Anyway, unless you’re compensating for a bad speaker or similar, it’s generally best to leave the EQ alone. Professionally produced music is already mastered to utilise the entire frequency spectrum in a balanced way so that it can be safely turned up without having certain frequencies dominate the output or to turn it down without losing the details.

Using an EQ post production is somewhat like salting a gourmet meal. Chances are that it’s making it worse unless you know why you’re doing it.

Obviously you can listen to music however you want, but please pay attention to what happens when you turn up the volume. It’s likely that you’ll want to use less EQ as the volume goes up.

“Don’t turn off” is the worst kind of status message.

When it eventually hangs for various reasons, you actually do need to turn off your pc for it to complete or to let it roll back in an error state.

When “just hang in there” is still present on the third day you’ll start wondering why you bought that piece of furniture and won’t mind the consequences of turning it off.

I think this is a kind of “what’s on the opposite side of the globe” picture.

Remarkably few places on land have land on the opposite side, because the Pacific ocean is very very big.

I have no idea what it is. I downloaded it the other day when trying to find a funny reply to something about playing trumpet with the ass. It didn’t quite fit there, so I am happy that you asked for it.

Looks fine. You have better screen estate, 7.5 posts while I only have 6 posts on a screen.

I think the reason why I changed from Jerboa was the data usage at the time (July last year). It’d download the entire picture instead of thumbnails. Sometimes it lagged.

The reason why I liked RiF was basically only that I had used it so much that I knew where everything was. I’ve been using Connect long enough that I’m not eager to switch at the moment.

Connect.

I like to have posts and comments as small as possible, without large pictures being downloaded before I click the post, and it must have a dark mode.

I also tried Jerboa and Voyager, and while they’re also customizable, I couldn’t get it exactly right. Maybe it’s possible now, but I can’t be bothered to keep up to date on three apps when Connect does it just fine.

I’m not sure what any of them look like by default. I basically set out to recreate the way I used RiF for Reddit, which also wasn’t the default.

I use Radiodroid. Works fine with Bluetooth, but not android auto.

I stream online radio while commuting.

It’s a great way of discovering what people in other countries listen to or what is happening in certain genres etc.

The small online stations are better than ordinary radio because they usually don’t have commercials and no need to attract large numbers of listeners so they don’t always play the most popular garbage over and over.

It’s as if removing all the commercial aspects of radio makes better radio.

It’s accessible only by helicopter. No one has ever lived there, so people only go there when it needs maintenance. It’s been automated from the “start” which was delayed due to the war.

Of course it’s brief. Lots of stuff happened, but saying that XP was the first is also wrong. Adobe Audition used to be a freeware program for Win95 called CoolEdit… in the 30+years that Adobe has owned it, they have only added VST effects…

As of today, you can make music on any kind of hardware, even obscure handheld devices from before smartphones, and they’ll perform better than the original Logic. There’s nothing technical setting Apple’s “industry standard” apart from freeware these days.

What he said is that he does the majority of his hobby on a Mac, but also installed music apps on Linux.

Apple managed to grab a good chunk of the market by making some well-functioning creative apps early on, but I’m not sure if they really have any advantage over Windows anymore.

Music production on Linux is still somewhat behind, due to limited software. People get paid for making that stuff on other platforms, so Linux developers are scarce.

Some of it is also moving to tablets and phones these days, so the kind of person to buy a Mac only for easy music production will probably just get a dongle for their iPad.

You’ll still need a pc/mac for the full studio experience. Not because of software, but because its difficult to rig an entire music studio into a touchscreen with a single usb port. I mean, sure it’s possible, but you don’t want to. Latency, multiple monitors and a shit load of controllers make it physically impossible unreliable.

On the bright side for Linux, music production is actually very low demanding, so it makes perfect sense to run an old laptop with a low spec distro and still have the same options as the state-of-the-art rig. Young starving artists will probably go that way instead of buying Mac.

How do deaf people talk in their sleep?

I bet they snoop on a lot more than just Snapchat.

No.

… in go-carts.

Eventually we will be too dumb to tell if it is smarter than us regardless of the tests that we invent.
