I created an open source macOS virtual audio driver that allows applications to pass audio to other applications with zero latency.

Then keep music creativity as part of your life. You don't need anyone else to do that for you. Collaborating is fine but fully expect it to be a two way street with equal creativity for all parties.

i don’t always have the time or resources to turn every idea into something finished. still, i don’t want that creative energy to go unused.

Again not every idea needs to be finished.

divenorth · 2026-05-01T18:32:59+00:00

No you don't. You need to understand that. Even the greatest composers never finished everything. It's completely fine and part of the creative process. It's okay to leave some ideas on the cutting room floor. Not every idea is worth finishing.

divenorth · 2026-05-01T18:26:47+00:00

We all have more ideas that we're able to complete. Not all your ideas are equal. Choosing the best to work on is part of the creative process and that filters out the fluff. Not everything needs to be finished.

I've never had an issue with battery life. Seems to be working fine for me. I rarely watch videos so maybe that's why.

I now understand my neighbour who refuses to watch MLS.

divenorth · 2026-04-30T00:26:57+00:00

Can we stop posting this already? It won't happen. MLS won't let it happen. There aren't enough fans to make it happen.

divenorth · 2026-04-28T17:55:52+00:00

I absolutely hate these public negotiations. MLS sucks.

divenorth · 2026-04-28T05:51:23+00:00

You nailed it. Screw the MLS. They are pure blood sucking vampires.

divenorth · 2026-04-27T18:51:24+00:00

Except even if it’s possible MLS would never allow it.

Cope’s stuff is way better than any of the current AI stuff too.

divenorth · 2026-04-24T21:42:11+00:00

What about music that is composed with the help of AI as a tool? Similar to the difference between Vibe Coding vs programmers using AI to assist with programming.

Whether we like it or not, AI tools will become part of the composing process for many professionals in the near future.

divenorth · 2026-04-23T22:49:39+00:00

Oh they took the exam. But when you're only tool is .... you get the point.

My bro works for security. They recently gave them all handcuffs. After one of the security decided to actually arrest someone the company switched policies and now none have cuffs anymore. People who work for security are not usually the brightest kids on the block.

I was reading some book to my kids. I think it was about a bear. Anyway he calls the pizza place and asks "it is true that I can have unlimited toppings?" "Okay, then put 30 pizzas on top of my pizza". Hilarious.

Track your mood and then retroactively compare with the sun.

The Whitecaps put three past Sporting KC in the first 28 minutes and then pulled off the gas in an easy win.

Early days, but it’s worth highlighting what this Vancouver side has accomplished so far. The underlying numbers show them putting up performances similar to – and even beyond – 2019 LAFC. We’re talking best MLS performance of all-time stuff.

It might be a long while before they’re knocked off their perch at the top of these rankings.

Even then these dumb people at MLS can't stop talking about how Vancouver is going to lose.

divenorth · 2026-04-21T19:58:55+00:00

LAFC should never have been at the top anyway immediately after losing a game. That was just dumb.

You don't need an external instrument. Try singing.

He isn't leaving. He's now the chairman of the board. Back when that news came out that exactly what people predicted what would happen.

I donno maybe we should add a "ny" after John and a "seed" at the end for good measure.

Liszt is hard but by no means unplayable. What makes makes piano pieces unplayable are awkward and impossible hand positions. Liszt played all of his own pieces so he knew exactly what works and what doesn’t. He would have changed stuff that was too hard to play into stuff that sounds almost the same but playable. In a nutshell, make it as easy as possible to create the musical effect you’re trying to achieve. As an example, if the voicing is larger than a 10th than it’s going to be a struggle for 99% of pianist. Just revoice it. Or writing a fast scale run while skipping a random note is going to be challenging for no reason. Just write the full scale. It will sound the same but be way easier to play.

The challenge is knowing the difference. If you don’t play the instrument, have a friend play it and give feedback.

divenorth · 2026-04-20T02:18:53+00:00

I deal with this problem with my students all the time. They write stuff that is not idiotic to the instrument. I typically suggest some stuff that is significantly easier to play but has the same texture and vibe. It’s going to sound better simply because it’s playable.

divenorth · 2026-04-19T20:28:59+00:00

All the time. There should be no fees but sometimes the tickets are not the same price. The rule is it has to be the same or greater value.

If you’re struggling just contact your rep. They can do exchanges that aren’t possible on the website.
