g ♒︎ ♪♫ @esem.name · 14/08/2026the saturated look of my devices is getting too much to handle. macOS settings and shortcuts to the rescue. a fancier filter would process more intelligently, but this is good enough iOS has the same 020
g ♒︎ ♪♫ @esem.name · 27/07/2026I don't have an issue with people being wrong on HN. But the software they release after, man. Brief list. - Don't use vibrato for wow&flutter - Fe tapes do not max out at 13kHz or 15 - Dolby is a sliding band compressor - Tape hiss is nothing like quantisation - Pre/De-emphasis is always on 020

g ♒︎ ♪♫ @esem.name · 24/06/2026Good to know there's no generative AI in this contentious "video to sound" software, as its webpage metadata says: > "Generate and sync real sound effects — ambiences, footsteps and transitions — directly on your timeline. No leaving Premiere. No generative AI. Premiered at NAB 2026." #ai 010

g ♒︎ ♪♫ @esem.name · 04/08/2025BG-Alert vs UK alerts (iOS) 1. settings are per alerting body. I like 2. can’t turn off severe threats only (amber alerts) in BG 3. UK keeps them separate. FWIW extreme (red) really means it, and severe (amber) alerts aren’t sent N times per day, so no reason to turn them off (hope I don’t jinx it) 000
g ♒︎ ♪♫ @esem.name · 25/07/2025I appreciate the Meteoalarm in Bulgaria but in my view it’s a mistake to use it for amber alerts. Alarm going off twice in the same day will just make me ignore it more easily in the future. Frankly, I’d turn it off if I could. 481
