Playing a game with a weird graphic glitch. Some NPCs don't have arms but can still swing a machete. It warns at the start that it is not compatible with my graphics card but if that is the reason then the effects are tiny & weird. Nothing big has happened.

WTF is google drive playback doing here? The waveform should look nothing like this and sounds nothing like this.

More Fluff The Annoyer. Secure cat flaps don't mean shit if you just meow enough. It's fluff war by attrition.

That'll be matchbox (which used to be called something else). My software can do same sort of thing - diffs on video edits and then move stuff around in reaper to restore sync on clips that moved.

Fluff The Annoyer! One of my neighbour's cat was so obsessed about getting in to mine that they'd block the cat flap for hours so my cat couldn't get out. We used to call them Fluff The Annoyer.

Yeah I think there is big variation in how people use different names for tape situations everywhere in the world. Here it seems duct tape is also duck tape is also masking tape. Mostly used for masking painting etc. But Gaffa tape well.. Super sticky is better..

.mov is just a container. You can stick any codecs in it. Just check mediainfo and the .mov contains AVC codec. So you have added support for that too? It didn't work before.

Rough UK eclipse timelapse without any processing yet. Low quality & sped up due to bluesky upload limit. I had to keep moving camera around a lot more than I expected so chunks missing. Will make a better version soon. #Eclipse #UK

I'm surprised how few DAWs have added spectral peaks as a feature considering the idea is ~10 years old. It makes it really easy to quickly spot annoying sounds in speech etc.

OK. I think I've got Resolve OTIO->AES31 working with SADiE now. Turns out SADiE is a lot more fussy & strict than Nuendo. Nuendo let's you just ignore timecode but SADiE won't import files if the timecode is missing or wrong. I only had the media for the VO files at the top but they appear correct.

It looks like OTIO for audio workflow is working out nicely with Davinci Resolve. Getting nice feedback. There is a frame boundary bug in Resolve that puts audio out of sync if audio starts in-between two frames. But that is quite easy to avoid if you prep the project first before exporting OTIO.
Hi John,

thanks again for the generous communication, really appreciate it — very useful

Reporting back that I did a few tests with a project I’m working on using OTIO via Vordio. My Davinci Resolve timelines contain Multicam clips, and I was sure if it would work without a bit of fiddling around in Resolve to prepare because the audio in Multicam clips is basically ‘nested' like a nested clip. It all opened very neatly in Reaper with no issues at all — each track comes across with the the nested ‘angles’ in track folders. The clips even came across with fades in place. Very satisfying indeed, super quick to do and everything comes across exactly as you’d hope. It’s a brilliant workflow solution, I’m so pleased

cheers!

Even the music venue near me installed a massive ventilation system bc covid mitigation grants were available for businesses. They went to town. Doesn't look pretty but it's now amazing for dancing with all that oxygen. Strange that schools somehow didn't get that sort of urgency and money too?

Their list of reasons makes no sense to me at all but try heart condition. Pharmacies have stopped offering novavax in UK now which is really damn stupid & annoying because it was 1/3rd price of the pfizer and moderna.

Think I found it. It looks like this autoplay setting in firefox is broken. It blocks audio for more than just autoplay ads. Switching it to allow video & audio stops it switching off audio on youtube randomly.

Schrödinger’s Cat Burglar has added a patch that gets me out of the room I was locked in due to a bug. Now the hedgehog appears saying they can hack the system for you (workaround the softlock). Nice solution. Makes it seem like part of the game.

Yeah. I stopped buying anything MOTU when they obsoleted perfectly good interfaces. My current interface is the Arturia AudioFuse Studio. Small but plenty of IO for most things. Nice feature set including bluetooth. Also class compliant so doesn't need a driver on mac. Which helps with obsolescence.

The RME digiface USB is just USB to lots of ADAT. Not sure I'm going to get it yet (it's £360) but RME are great for always supporting their products no matter how old.
