Happy new year from a copyright lawyer.
The folks around here sure love their guns.
I recorded from a minute before midnight until about 12 after with my Zoom H5 Studio and it's included X/Y microphones on a tripod out in the back yard, while I was sitting on the back porch with a hand-cranked mechanical siren, which can be heard way off to the right in this recording. Given all the guns, the siren seems appropriate somehow.
This was recorded at an extremely conservative level, and still got turned down by 20dB when normalized because of the transients from particularly large rockets. I squished the dynamics to make it more listenable.
Mostly, a lot of gunfire from semi-automatics, with some fireworks is heard.

Incredible work. A few initial comments:
When choosing a TTS voice, it isn't apparent which language each one belongs to. So for example, I have multiple entries for the Eloquence voices and have to manually select and sample each one.
I only seem to be able to adjust the speech rate in 10 percent increments, but would prefer it to be more granular.
When connected, I often have to press the "type text" button twice to make the keyboard actually appear. I get the feeling this most often happens when I've been swiping around to other buttons which maybe makes the "type text" button scroll out of view.
When typing text, pressing Return makes the keyboard disappear. I was trying to control an app that requires me to frequently press enter (often twice in a row), and this made it kind of impossible to use it efficiently.
When typing text, it might be helpful to have a sort of quick access toolbar above the keyboard with common keys like Tab, arrows, etc. maybe even let users customise what appears in that area.
Even with heading navigation, the keys for certain common actions are quite far apart (such as Alt+Tab). Maybe some preset combinations would help.
And lastly for now: this might just be me, but I keep looking for the Tab key under navigation rather than common.
Happy no new public domain day in Canada.
Thanks a Trudeau for that.

Who doesn't like #reverb on their tracks? I sure do. But what has frustrated me for the past 2 years of using #BitwigStudio is that the stock reverb device has felt not as smooth and silky, or easy to manipulate as I'd like. The Lexicon 224 sound is something to strive for, and those clever engineers found a way to make an incredible sound with not amazing spec digital audio (12-bit with a max frequency of 10,400Hz).
I think the secret sauce is the selective bands and delay times where you can have the the reverb swell into brightness or dwell into darkness with some simple tone controls.
I have found that if you stack two Bitwig Reverb devices in an FX-3 Multiband Device on the Low and Mid bands that you can get a really sweet sound. Here is my example with some Airwindows to round it out.

Let this be a thread for people to come together and collaborate on music videos.
Are there any video artists looking to make an original music video? Any musical artists seeking a video for a track? Reply below and connect.
This is probably a non-commercial artistic experience, but I'm not the boss of you, just be sure to agree up front about parameters.
And when done, submit your video for airplay to #TIBtv here: theindiebeat.fm/the-indie-beat…

"Missing Brain Receptor May Hold the Key to Autism"
WTF, NeuroscienceNews? Missing? It says in the fucking summary that it's reduced, not missing, and why do you consistently paint it as some defective form of a normal brain? We aren't the same as you. It's not "missing" OR "reduced". It's just different from you, you assholes! You left out the phrase "relative to".
Heaven forbid people be different from each other! That might lead to...diversity! Scandalous!
