It's a common joke in the community that I compile a fresh kernel before every livestream (not true!), and that people take bets on what's gonna crash first (I haven't seen proof yet!), but this ti...

This one took a massive amount of work and time.
Huge thanks to the generous viewer who's donation enabled me to purchase the hardware for testing!
This was supposed to be a simple video to make.
I've prepared a VirtualBox installation and downloaded the latest AV Linux ISO I found. It was an MX variant.
Unfortunately it seemed...
Qarterly Release Pact has brought us some exciting software releases!
I am also answering questions and demonstating stuff live :)
This was something different.
As always - I'm uploading the final piece of music made and the source Ardour 6 session.
The downloads are licensed under CC0. Enjoy!

Hey! It's almost 2022. I'm doing a monthly livestream on 2nd of January, in 3 days.
It's the perfect time to discover that a well-respected synthesizer plug-in has become free software!

Do you disagree?
I'd love to know your take on this.

Here's a quick cut of a video I was recording yesterday.
Only thanks to your continued support, I can deal with this kind of crap :D
Warning: harsh language!

I've recorded this video a few weeks back when I was still quite sick.
Yet - it should be a useful tutorial! Many people asked about this.
Enjoy this SICK tutorial :)
This time I've spend about 30 minutes in the beginning answering questions and just talking about technical stuff. This left us less time to make music, so the piece in the end wasn't as developed,...

Since the first part seemed to get a rather warm response, I've decided to take the time to make Part 2.
And here it is!
Will there ever be Part 3?
It entrely depends on how you'll...
There's been some technical problems at teh start, but these were quickly sorted out!
BespokeSynth is amazing and I think I'll work on creating a live performance with it sometime.
This video's main point is to demistyfy the dreaded Routing Grid.
Thre's still a bit more like Pin Connections, but that's a topic for another video (I've covered it already in videos like t...
Check out the survey!

This time it's a talking head video (with a practical demo as well, but it's not the main point).
Enjoy!
Despite all the technical challenges, we've made a beautiful piece of music!
And the music submissions were great too!
As usual, I attach the full Ardour session of the created project.

Here's a video that'll hopefully be first in a series. But that depends on the response from viewers, like you :)
I've recorded this 10 months ago back when I was doing SFX for a game made b...
As a follow up to the x42-dpl video, I've decided to test a bunch of limiter plug-ins to find out how they stack up against each other.
I make some interesting discoveries along the way...
