Hi! This is a test post from the NVDA remote client developed by @Bri It seems to have a few quirks, but over all it seems to work decently. The only difficulty I've had so far is that it's a bit difficult/seems to have odd trouble going between the modifiers and the common keys, making things like shift tab a bit difficult. But other than that, it's working well. Oh, and it's very weird to be able to BSI to my computer. Lol

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.

Happy mew year! Ever wanted to NVDA Remote into a computer on your iOS device? But whoops, forgot your keyboard? Or have a keyboard? Either way, NVDARC has got you covered! NVDA Remote Controller is a new app for iOS and Mac (as soon as it finishes reviewing) that allows you to control computers over the NVDA Remote protocol. It also offers an onscreen keyboard, as well as page swiping gestures and magic tap, for sending keys with the touch screen. Useful for when you have things you want to do on the computer and are away from it. Try out an early version here! testflight.apple.com/join/edg8…

Trying it now and boy am I super happy about something actually good, rather than this thing that uses the totally wrong keyboard layout and frankly was quite an abandoned project. Marvelously done for a start! Will there be any way to detect whether a list of utterances has been sent to the synth (output queueing) and therefore let each utterance run in turn (certainly important when reading with Say All)? I know VoiceOver is super horrible at this unless done right also. I've used both AVSpeech and VoiceOver and do see some utterance flow improvements here, but other than that, this is probably the best remote app I could have used other than an app delivering audio like Jump. I love that you can hear tones too! I hope in the future there can be a way to play from NVWave,, but that sounds very difficult to implement given how somewhat limited this protocol is (at least from my observations). Again, absolutely a fantastic start here and look forward to much more of this app to come!

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…
