Re: Boss GX-100 "Rec-Out/Phones"?
... As an example, I can juggle the effects on the unit touch-screen OR on my smartphone via bluetooth, and also send the ouput to the smarphone and from there into the amp in another room. ... I wouldn't think so. Latency on Bluetooth is bad. Unusably bad. If you have a Bluetooth speaker, try play...

Re: My free pianos 2.1 release, plus Estonia
Kind of is, but I think it would be appropriate if Fred (or whatever his name is) burnt with guilt for a few weeks.

Re: Hello from Arch
Welcome darth. A Linux format equivalent to VST is LV2. There are free plugins : https://lsp-plug.in/ http://x42-plugins.com/x42/ Both of those are in the Arch repos.

Re: Absent friends....?
Bit of a laugh, eh? Mixed in with misinformation and FUD. JACK doesn't add latency, and I don't think there's any way you could construe that as a joke.
That's enough from me.

Re: Absent friends....?
I would think that it's difficult to defend JACK is Hannibal Lector with an ear fetish, but I can't wait to read what you've got to say about that.

Re: Absent friends....?
It was Pipewire what done it. Pipewire collided with jeff's massive ego. The ego is interested in two things -- looking good and being right. Who is right is not as important as what is right, but once the ego gets involved it can be hard for a person to back down. Jeff had posted for years how shit...

Re: Half of Bandcamp staff laid off
A country goes broke when it defaults on its national debt. The US is nowhere near that point. You might have wondered who the national debt is owed to. It's owed to anyone with money who buys government bonds. Governments borrow money by selling bonds, and paying interest on those bonds. Bonds are ...

Re: Half of Bandcamp staff laid off
glowrak guy You seem to be describing the breakdown of society. American society is falling apart, but it's still possible to get an Amazon Prime delivery the next day. That's some pretty messed up priorities. BTW low taxes isn't going to fix this, even though low taxes appear to be your preferred ...

Re: 80% of Artists on Spotify won't get paid anything.
The disgraceful event that occured between the dot com crash and 2008 was the Enron scandal . Is it really a scandal? Or just business as usual? The two scumbags from hell that were behind it were Jeff Skilling and Kenneth Lay, who were arrested. Lay died before the trial. Skilling was found guilty,...

Re: 80% of Artists on Spotify won't get paid anything.
No, it wasn't a blip. In 2008 we saw a structural weakness in the US system. We'd seen this before in 2000 with the dot com boom and bust. Alan Greenspan (then chairman of the Federal Reserve) hid the weakness exposed by the dot com bubble in the housing market. For the true scale of the horror of 2...

Re: 80% of Artists on Spotify won't get paid anything.
glowrak guy You seem to have a short memory. Have you forgotten 2008? Total market failure. What a great system. [ slow clap ]. Do you not think if you're going to be a self-appointed advocate for 'the free market' (actually you mean the corruption and monopolies of the US) you should know some bas...

Re: 80% of Artists on Spotify won't get paid anything.
You see, that is where you're going wrong. Amazon is a monopoly, and that goes against the principles of the free market. The kleptocracy is that the government allows monopolies like Facebook, Amazon and Google to continue. ... That's absurd. ... You're quite right, it is absurd. It's also true. I...
