Dunno how else to put this, and I can't believe after 13 years this is somehow still a thing...

But what on earth is the logic of clearing filters after clicking on literally anything? We set the BPM to be 75-90...because (shocker)... the song is between 75BPM and 90BPM. Under no circumstances do I want this to change, until I decide.

We set the key filter to Amin because... again this is a shocker... the song - is in Amin.

We filtered for Drum Loops because - drumroll - - - we are looking for Drums. Between 75BPM and 90BPM. Or Kicks, tuned to Amin. As evidenced by setting the filters to those things. lol.

Having to reset all of these things, literally every single time we click on a new pack, is excruciating. It's the most backwards, productivity-killing behaviour imaginable. Can't think of a single reason this is a thing, and can't be simply fixed with a "never clear filters, offer a Clear Filters button".

What am I missing here? This feels like lunacy.

Installed the new PowerToys, with refreshed Keyboard Manager.

Something's not right...

You used to be able to select keys from a list, no? And then remap them again using a list? Because currently the only options is "Push to start recording keys".

...what if the key is missing, and the entire point of the remap is to correct for this?

Or is there something wrong with my PS install?

I'm surprised that it's on the lower end of streams on Spotify.

This to me is easily the coolest song on the entire album, and maybe in their whole catalog. I can't believe the sonic emotions that exist in it, it feels like a rollercoaster of progressively more absurd-but-perfect sounds.

Not to go off lol, but I'm genuinely surprised.

I'm throwing this out there and it's not extremely deeply-thought out, but I think there's something to this.

Whenever we refer to "clean low end" mathematically what I think that means is that there are simple ratios happening below 120Hz.

EDM is usually at the center of this, with perfectly pocketed sub/bass relationship with kick, etc. Everything has its space down there... It's usually a sub with the fundamental above it (maybe), the kick carves space for itself momentarily, leaving it mostly simple ratios down there.

I wonder if this can be done in reverse?

Take the low end, at every sample, and attempt to "simplify" it mathematically. Derive the most fundamental and musically-coherent things going on down there, and resynthesize the low end out of simple Sine Waves, in realtime.

I wonder what that would even sound like? Just a perfectly crafted always-clean low end, in realtime...would it sound fake or amazing?

edit: I keep having to re-type this : i'm obviously aware of bx_subsynth or Waves Submarine, it's the basis of what I'm saying but not the same things. Those derive the lowest fundamental and inject a sub... I'm talking about completely replacing the low end (not injecting a sub), using as few coherent sin waves a possible

Shouldn't have to do this, but I just wanna fix the rattles. Especially the ones related to the sound system. Certain Notes like a subwoofer B literally rattle the entire door, and the back-right seat speaker.

Willing to pay to get it fixed, is this actually achievable as an aftermarket kind of repair?

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I feel like the Rate Limit Reset that CODEX just offered, is a data point to them, that lets them determine "user breaking point" usage patterns, and construct a model on how to best manipulate us. What was the user doing when they decided to use the reset? What were the stakes, and how can we use that info to corner them in the future and force them to pay for more usage.

I just... can't believe this one. This seems like the lowest-imaginable hanging fruit of a bug to squash.

Turn the car on, car does not auto-connect to the phone 50% of the time. I take my finger and touch the Connect button, and it connects.

I just kind of can't believe this is still unaddressed lol. Like, if me literally pressing Connect makes it connect ... then what is going on? Like shouldn't it be scanning for the default device repeatedly until it finds it? Isn't that the literal entire point?

How do we get them to pay attention to this? I know many other people have this long-standing issue.

LOQ 15AHP9, have owned it for 2 years

Yesterday my second M.2 died (data drive) and the Alt key stopped working, at the same time.

I'm scared to replace the keyboard, and buy a new drive, in case the motherboard is short-circuiting and will just cook the replacements after having spent a ton of money.

Anyone else have this experience?

no profit, no tracking, no ads, no analytics. just heart-warming news stories and a relaxing soundtrack.

what a memorable experience, first of all. will forever remember it fondly.

it struck me that ambient music doesn't have a "live scene" around it - live shows or gallery type events... And yet hundreds of people showed up and sat in a room respectfully and excitedly, to hear an ambient album.

as a genre it doesn't quite cater to the "live music" experience in the same way as rock/dance... but maybe the idea of what an "ambient live show" means, just needs to be redefined.

as the show last week proved, it doesn't take much - just provide a comfortable peaceful space for people to listen from, and have an excited and positive atmosphere. it really struck me how we could be doing this in our city, but with local ambient artists. it honestly wouldn't take much.

would just love to see more events dedicated to this. am haphazardly putting myself out there to help organize something, if anyone else thinks this is worthwhile!

ama!

...no matter where she goes artistically, it's always gonna be 100% interesting. as if we get to just live life and regularly get Charli XCX music.

It was called something like the "Anemonia Art Show", or something similar. 30-60min glitchy analog art videos, literally hundreds! My bookmarks got wiped and now I can't find the channel, any ideas?

Thank you!

Stumbling my way through this concept lol. Yamaha OPL3 (SoundBlaster) chip back-end, per-step parameters and modulations, a re-trigger system (that can be modulated!), and adding features/ideas in realtime as they come to me.

Determined to make OPL3 cool in 2026! It's such a misunderstood under-appreciated chip, and I just want to lean into its quirks and make something dope.

Producer/composer here, curious how y'all are approaching the sharing/promotion of your music these days? Recently made an ambient EP, and am totally lost on how to "get it out there" without being annoying / preachy and otherwise just adding noise to an already overwhelming online experience. Is it through community? Are there events/performances or is this mostly an online genre?

As a producer I have 500million streams on the songs I've done for other artists, but this is my first time being the face of it - and wow it's a totally different beast. Beyond the weekly thread, what are some ways to get to know people and share some music / listen to what everyone's creating?

LA-based, and very excited to have tickets to the Boards of Canada event on May 22nd (!!!!!!! anyone else going??). This said, my release feelings EP is influenced by the simultaneous emptyness/overwhelm that BOC have mastered, while being quite different aesthetically. Less sample-based, everything is performed by hand on a ROLI Seaboard (a keyboard with 5 axis of expression), all off-grid with no metronome, basically trying to "paint sound" and create something fragile and vapour-like. Used some quirky synths as well, like the 90s SoundBlaster (OPL3), the SNES SPC-700 chip, and an old cassette deck.

Inspired by composer Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition", it's a walk through a sonic art gallery. Would be so interested to hear any feedback, and please take a BandCamp code if you made it this far!

...am I completely alone on this? It feels that way, given that for 13 years this hasn't changed.

If I choose "Type : Drums" and "Loops", I want this filter to remain on until I clear it. It clears every time you make the slightest change in pack or browser.

Like... we're looking for Drum Loops, and switching between packs -- having to set these two filters every time seems insane to me.

Anyone else?

This feels like a niche wish, but it could also be the thing that makes music producers choose a Framework device instead of Apple.

Here's the issue :

Built-in audio on ALL PC laptops is an absolute travesty. Let's say you sit at a coffeeshop and want to work on music, or go to someone's studio to collaborate, or just be anywhere NOT connected to an interface - you are getting 100ms of latency. It's a joke.

CoreAudio on the other hand, is low-latency out of the box. No interface needed - open DAW and you are making music. No "WASPI Exclusive steals audio from all other apps" nonsense, no crackles, it_just_works as the old adage goes.

Is it possible for there to be framework snap-in module that is simply a headphone jack, tied to a mini ASIO soundcard? This feels like the true Mac killer for the audio world. Not to mention the Linux-optimized use case with PipeWire, which is an actual Mac killer.
