  Doing the Model Year 2026 Giant e-bike training and they just said "Giant SmartGateway 2.0 is AI ready!" Even though this is absolutely meaningless garbage speak. Anyways, fuck Giant Bicycles, I am a dealer telling you: don't buy them, they are just going to screw you over. It's what they do and this bullshit is the last straw for me.

  Looking to put together a kit so I can start doing live-sound for a local dance (normally two or three musicians and one vocalist, occasional larger bands that it would be good to be equipped to do, but isn't strictly necessary up front), they pay $100 for each 2 hour session so I can do partial grocery money if I start doing it once a month or so after I pay off equipment investment. Who has recommendations for off-brand DI boxes or inline pre's that are actually good (personal...

  *sigh* favorite coffee shop is playing only Christian soft-rock stuff today and I didn't notice until after I hard ordered and paid. I'm literally the only person in here, so I both feel bad asking them to change it if that's what the employees want to listen to, but also this is making me deeply uncomfortable as a non-Christian, but also as a person who actually likes good music. Anyways, might be about to get kicked out of my favorite coffee shop for being an Atheist, or maybe they...

  I've been taking a lot of recordings of bands and doing simple mixes for them recently. Nothing I could make money on, just walking up to the band at a dance and asking if I can plug into the board and send them recordings later. It's making me miss doing sound engineering for theaters (a thing I did a lot of in college), and making me wish I could do some stuff for music (unsure if live or recorded). I don't even know how one would get into that world though (short of going back to...

  Does anyone know of any non-profits (and preferably co-ops) acting as fiscal hosts for small open source projects? Most of them will only take large, established projects with lots of contributors, but I've got a small project with just a couple of regular contributors that recently lost its only way of taking donations via Open Collective. I can set something up with my personal account, but that feels bad given that others are working on it too. I know small projects with a few donatio...

  @tenacity Hi Tenacity folks! I've been working on a somewhat niche audio format and I'm looking for feedback from the sorts of projects that might implement it in the future and other audio community folks. The format is a single file that can contain the final mix of some music alongside individual instrument stems for use when DJing or doing mixing in a DAW. When a producer is making the DJ version of a track or a version meant for another artist to remix they would export usi...

  Okay, spammed* as many audio related forums and mailing lists as I could think of where I actually use their stuff or where there might be general interest about my musical stems file format for DJing and tracks meant for re-mixing. It's such a niche thing that I have received very little feedback so far, but if you can think of anyplace that might be open to providing feedback (ie. DJ applications like Mixxx or DAWs like Ardour who might want to implement the format in the future), let...
