Been cleaning out my work case lately and found a bunch of stuff I used to bring to every single gig.

Extra DI boxes.

Random adapters.

A tiny mixer.

Even a notebook full of channel lists lol.

Funny thing is I haven't touched half of it in years.

Feels like my kit keeps getting smaller every season.

What is something you used to consider absolutely essential that never leaves the case anymore?

Hi! I recently moved out on my own and am learning how to cook single serving meals. I bought all my basic pots, pans, and a decent chef's knife, but I completely blanked on getting a cutting board.

I’ve been looking online (browsing places like shein and a few other retail sites) and I’m a bit overwhelmed by the options. I see stainless steel, silicone, wood, plastic, etc. Since I only cook for myself, I have no idea what to choose.

What material is best for a beginner that won't ruin my knife? Also, what size would you recommend that is practical for one person but easy to wash in a small apartment sink? Thanks in advance!

Recently Ive been playing with pulling some tracks into visuals and to be honest most ai music video generator from audio tools still just feels very hit or miss to me. A few of them actually create really cool looking scenes that stand alone, but as the song gets longer, the pacing seems to get a bit offset from the music in the process.

So I tried out Freebeat the other day after catching a few mentions of it in some music visualizer threads.

It was actually pretty interesting to mesome of the beat syncing in certain sections actually felt pretty natural, Mainly on more punchy, transition-heavy songs. Though not completely convinced of any of those workflows yet. Would like to know what other people's experiences are, and if anyone has found a way that is consistent over whole songs, not just small sections.
