Comment on Pros and Cons of using Linux for music production by Narendra

Linux has Pipewire now, which is an all-in-one replacement for ALSA, JACK, and Pulseaudio. If you have it installed by default like in Fedora, the out of the box experience is painless. The low-latency it brings is just amazing. I know Linux doesn’t have the best plugin support overall, but there’s amazing free synth and plugins on Linux like LSP, Vital/Vitalium, or ZynFusion. With both Vital and ZynFusion I think you’re set 🙂

I think my minor gripe would be Ardour’s relatively inferior audio and MIDI editing to Reaper. But Reaper looks real ugly on Linux. So it’s hard to decide which to use.

I'm so stupid, I copied the wrong code. . . sinValue = (sinValue * juce::MathConstants::pi) / 4; sinValue = (sinValue 2 juce::MathConstants::pi) / 4; -__-||

I’m confused, inputR has a value range of 0 to -1 in each first half cycle, is this any different from mute?

Comment on Air Xpand 2: Review by rinkeborgia

I got the Xpand!2 product too. Admittedly, it is a very nice product, but I would recommend very much against buying it because there customer support is the worst I’ve ever experienced.
The problem arises when you have computer hardware failure. The license of the product is bound to the machine you used, and if that machine doesn’t exist anymore, for example because of a crashed hard disk, it basically comes down to the fact that you’ve lost your product, and cannot use it anymore.
In theory, in such cases you should contact the publisher (air music), and ask them to clear the activation from the stale machine at the license server side. But then you go into the hell of lousy customer support: very long response times, not answering your question but sending some general blah which doesn’t help at all, etc. Eventually they stated that they would reset the activation on their servers, but nothing changed, they didn’t do anything, and after that they didn’t respond at all.

Conclusion: nice product, awkward licensing system, and when you get problems with the licensing, very lousy customer support which results in not being able to use the product anymore.

Wildcards are useless,I tried every one but my tracks which are all set to regions and named are not named when using Wildcards,just numbered.
I tried every Wildcard like region names and tracks but my tracks were only rendered with numbers.

Comment on How to create a good website for music promotion by aliesoond

First.. the website shows that the band or musician is really serious! maybe at this time there are still many musicians who only rely on social media for promotion! even though to make a website actually doesn’t require too much money! one of its main advantages is the integration which makes it a single gateway for all band monitoring and promotion! this is one of my friend’s band website; https://www.colderra.com/ I think with a model like that is enough..
