mediaphage posted:this is a macos thing specifically. it still sucks for bluetooth audio that isn’t made by apple. there are terminal commands you can try but they never work 100% of the time. i literally just gave up. it still happens and while i shouldn’t i’m still amazed that apple just lets it be like this. on macOS with original airpods by tim it still reverts into tin can mode if trying to use the mic on them. does it not on the newer ones??? i assume its still hosed.

Sagebrush posted:yes. From several pages back, but maybe for somethings in illustrator but I believe in general vector rendering is still usually done on the CPU. Like, GPU accelerated SVG rendering or font rendering is still something people actively research. In Apple land Core Animation is GPU accelerated but its basically things like zooming, stretching, scrolling, image filters, etc. Rendering a vector image with lines and curves with Core Graphics is still done on the CPU. Something about how you can achieve quality rendering and implement the Painter’s Algorithm but trying to translate that method to the GPU doesn’t work because it’s incredibly non-parallel. Of course I am not an expert so I may have misunderstood when it was explained to me. Also, I thought switching to Affinity would bring me peace, but it has its own problems. No cloud bullshit is great, but feature work feels like it’s stopped on Photo and Designer. You can find old feature request posts in the Affinity forums saying they will implement some equivalent to a feature in Illustrator “soon” and then you realize it’s from 2017 and it’s still not done. Also I’m pretty sure they don’t dog food their iPad apps. The interfaces are terrible.

Kazinsal posted:for guitar amplification though, perfectly replicating a fully analogue circuit would be some next level physics simulation poo poo. sound profiling is getting pretty close at simulating the tonal qualities of various amplifier circuits but if it were as easy as "just recreate the circuit with DSPs, bing bong so simple" then genuinely people would stop buying boutique amps. I've got a reasonable approximation of a Mark IV dialed in on my Boss Katana but it's still not quite right. it sounds *like* a boogie but it doesn't have all of the tonal qualities of a boogie. is this a thing where, if we were starting from zero without cultural memories of the way tube amp tech influences guitar sound, it wouldn't matter and we'd just use other amp technologies instead?

i don’t mind the interfaces even on the ipad tbh though i don’t use it as much as desktop. for my uses - which are strictly side hustle and some non-profit work level - i find illustrator and publisher pretty solid. with all that said photo doesn’t feel sufficiently complete to me though (i mean i get that adobe has been building in this poo poo for literally decades, but). and nothing really beats acr if i have a day of shooting to go through

Smythe posted:i see i see thank you. i am thinking of buying a bluetooth audio interface and using that instead. a little box that pairs with my things and also has a cool gain knob on it and then that plugs into the compy. hmm wouldnt that be cool. and what if had xlr in and out. or 1/4". that would be so cool. i would like that. it would be so stylish. couple pages back, but something similar happens in my car because of the lovely car radio when i’m playing something via bluetooth or usb. in my car, if a device pauses, the car sound system mutes itself. so some apps pause while maps tries to talk. this means my car mutes itself when maps is trying to give me a direction. this doesn’t happen with the apple music app, though. e: i totally quoted the wrong post but i’m not going back to figure out which one it was.

you what's fun? going back and forth between visio and omnigraffle. you spend a few years getting used to all of visio's quirks and "why the gently caress haven't they fixed this in 20 years" crap, and then you get hit with omnigraffle's nice features and own way of doing things.

Well, the entirety of guitar music would be completely different, given that guitar distortion started when young/poor/black musicians that could only afford small amps started playing larger and larger venues as guitar-based pop started coming up in the late 40s and early 50s, so they just dimed that poo poo till the speaker cones ripped. it's an interesting butterfly wing to flap, but i can't even think about how things would be different today

the one true harmonic is the 2:1 (the whole octave), that one seems common across almost all musical cultures. probably comes from the fact that many natural things which resonate at a particular frequency will also resonate to some extent at multiples of that frequency, so if you play a note and also the same note an octave higher then it sounds like you're just adding richer harmonics to the fundamental note. it's what frequencies you choose to fill up the gaps between those that can differ quite a lot across cultures, but other "simple" ratios like 3:2 and 4:3 are relatively common too
