Just giving a bit of context here:

Marianne is a french far-right sovereignist newspaper. I'm not surprised it's spreading this kind of informations as its goal is definitely to weaken Macron's government. Plus a lot of its headlines are clickbaity bullshit serving a far-right agenda.

I'm not saying it's a direct propaganda newspaper, but their interests are inline with those of Russia. It's easy to get an officer to say this or that so I wouldn't trust anything written here as it's just opinions from some french officers.

Could you please elaborate on your usecase and workflow?

There's no FOSS plugin doing all of what Thimeo offers. You can get close with a lot of processing, but not the same.

I really don't get it. 200€ for a plugin where you can get a hardware version for roughly the same price, or that can be recreated with basically any soft synth. And there are tons of 303 plugins, both paid and free.

HI, would you mind sharing some production tricks you used? I'm not against some self promotion, but please provide value to the group.

define truly lossless please. Does it mean checking if the audio has lost any high frequencies like in mp3?

I think the only way is to start a community and care/animate it. Even with several hundreds of people, instances aren't really lively. But we're responsible for this. If we offer regularly quality content, some people will come and stick around. In 2 words: provide value.

It's Dune for me. Because it's beautiful, because it's a great story, because it has exactly the kind of pace I like.

You're entirely right, I mixed things up. It's the SACEM, the french royalties collecting company which has been started this way.

It's still an interesting question to know where to draw the line about reusing other works of art.

Is taking a picture of a drawing and selling it with a filter fair? Our without filter? Is a recording of a recording where you tweak really little things fair?

Where do you draw the line?

Copyright started when French composers noticed people were using their music and they didn't get anything from it. Are you ready as a professional musician to accept people monetising your work without your knowledge, consent and without you getting anything?

What would be a good system? A system that can realistically be implemented as of today.

I'd suggest spontaneously a clean popOS, with extra kernel (I had good experiences with liquorix but also with the standard low-latency kernel).

After this, it's easy to install all you need.

I'm really happy with Manjaro. Depending on your usecase, I'd try Manjaro as the AUR repos are amazing. But Ubuntu based distributions are more widely accepted, getting more easy made packages and support

What about muse and Rosegarden and qtractor?

First of all, it's a sponsored feature from the french ministry of education so I'll drink to this.

And it makes definitely sense in a context of smartphone for video use: you film something, trim it and upload it. No need of an external editor for simple stuff. Great for teachers or anybody using the platform as a free tool and not as an ideological platform.

Pick a used camera. You'll need a standard zoom so as to be flexibel. And tthen start with 1 extra lens. Either a fast prime lens (no zoom) for portrait 50mm f1.8 or a wide angle (less than 20mm) for landscape. Learn to shoot in black and white, it will help you provide some nicer shots later on. Follow the composition rules at first. Most of the time they "just work".

Learn about light. It's what makes or brakes a picture.

Learn not to take pictures. If it just doesn't work, there's no point to take a picture except as a souvenir.

Maybe https://sepiasearch.org/ is a good way to discover content on peertube. It's a PeerTube search engine.

Nice video about retro music production. Making you oh so thankful for modern production software

Interesting read about this new selector, only supported in Safari so far

SurgeXT is the newest Version/fork of Surge. It improves it in everyway (as far as I know).

You can find out more on: https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/

Fabla2

Drumkv1

Or several instances of Drops

Thanks a lot, exactly what I was looking for

There it is: Samplecat AND SampleHive

Sononym has a linux Version. It's non-free and will cost you, but it's worth having a look at it.

I'll see if I find a free-software, I thought I saw something a while ago.

There is at least one, never used it and I can't remember its name. I'll have a search and keep you tuned.

I use it in manjaro, so far so good. My only problem is that I can't create custom output for the desktop with my RME soundcard. But I think it's an asoundrc/alsa problem, no pipewire problem.

I can use ardour/Bitwig etc. Never tried a real time recording though

That's a great news!

nice one

I'm using The Odin Project to learn to Ruby. And Youtube for the BMX

• Learn Programming. I started Ruby a while ago and I'd like to keep on learning
• and learn BMX. The basics, just for the fun

Isn't it overkill for this? I thought blender was complex for editing video.

Well you're right, they don't do directly playlists as far as I can tell. But they do an amazing job at presenting artists and music genres: https://daily.bandcamp.com/bandcamp-navigator#all-nav

I agree, we need more curated music playlists. Bandcamp themselves do an amazing job at it

Though I agree with you, there are limits to the "only us" approach: on a bigger level, there's been research showing that having constant validation from your peer group leads to less empathy and being less open towards other groups. Think about small right-ish groups, validating themselves because they only read things connecting to their ideas.

Or the FOSS-Bros overreacting about GAFAM, harassing good minded FOSS persons because they are not "pure FOSS", would happen less if they weren't always validated by their own peer group. (nothing aboout FOSS, it's just an example of community gone toxic)

So yes, on a micro/personnal level, choose the instance closest to your interest/values. On a macro level, confront your ideas to other different ideas and it will lead to more tolerance and hopefully a better world

I'll try with Squeezer, my favorite compressor, free or non free. I can just do anything compression-wise, it's nice on the eye, cross-platform and just sounds good.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing it well. It became my work ethic.

It runs native Linux vst 2 & 3 without problem. And while vst2 was a pain to work with due to the complicated licence, the vst3 standard is open, so it's not that bad. Though LV2 seems to offer more possibilities to devs.

You'll still need an external bridge for Windows vst as far as I know.

And yeah, I like Luftikus and help, but they are not my go-to plugins.

A good idea. I'm in for sure.

Nerd alert! Love it

Not yet, I use the original

So why create it at all? What's their goal with it? And if Google decides it's a new standard, how are we avoiding this?

I think that's an important point. You don't need to remember to all your contacts you're using this messenger. They can just use it with you.
