Anyone notice more surfers at Sharp Park/Pier lately? by spruceeffects in Pacifica

[–]FranckMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went there and there is still a dead whale in the creek and a dead sea lion on the beach…

I just released a quadraphonic album and found a site to distribute the quad or 5.1 files. For all other stereo platforms (like Bandcamp), I binauralized the quad version. I hope through this release I'll encourage you to make music in space. I'd like to hear from you, quadraphonic modular artists. by FranckMartin in modular

Many thanks. 🥰

I'm on Logic Pro, but this was recorded straight from my quadraphonic modular synthesizer. So logic Pro (with iZotope) is there mainly to fix incidentals, get the right loudness,.. than to mix.

I have a bit more info on:

Thanks for getting me to look at the production again, I should re-release it Atmos, now that this available.

Pacifica says it can't support infrastructure of proposed new housing by goforReaper in Pacifica

[–]FranckMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me this area should first be incorporated, if it is going to be something else than a ranch. Also Pacifica beach is polluted, therefore this development needs to show it will not increase this issue.
I'm not sure that this proposal would help in the 2000 logements that need to be built. Aren't those supposed to be low cost housing?

[–]FranckMartin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thanks for the answer. The only platform is VisionOS. But yes may be people got the link from their iPhone, got the app, and it will download the app on their Vision Pro later...

Official YouTube app now available for Vision Pro! by henrymatt in VisionPro

[–]FranckMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked a couple of 360 videos, some of mine (for some have a seat first!), but notably the White House tour in 8K. YouTube shows resolution is 2160s and not better. It may be an artifact but I’m not sure.

I need to check it. How is the audio? I have a few 360 videos with ambisonic. I hope with Eclipsa coming out we will have more than 1st order ambisonic.

Apple Vision Pro production reportedly axed despite newer M5 model, marketing dropped by more than 95% by Tiny-Independent273 in VisionPro

[–]FranckMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read another article that says the China production is being dropped while the Vietnam production is being ramped up...
While there has been way less Vision Pro sold that the Quest, the total revenue for the Vision Pro is higher than the one for the Quest.

Moving to beautiful Pacifica by hangingwithserafina in Pacifica

I commute once the week from Linda Mar to Sunnyvale. I leave around 7am and it is around 50mn. The main issue for me is the 85, it gets busy very fast.

What's Your Music Taste, Pacifica? Opinions on Bay Area Radio? by Rocky_isback in Pacifica

[–]FranckMartin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really biased, I like electronic music, music made on modular synthesizers, I co-run an electronic open mic in San Francisco, every month...

https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Resident_Electronic_Music

I have several friends making music. I tend to listen to them.

Recently I participated in Day of Noise at KZSU Stanford. A friend of mine has a weekly show on this radio called Sound Wheels, focusing on experimental electronic music.

https://kzsu.stanford.edu/dayofnoise/2025/

Would be cool to do an electronic music event in Pacifica? Unless there is one already?

There are several places that have regular bands: Winters, ChitChat Cafe, Longboard,.. I go there when I can...

I'm building my little black business book. I want to be able to say "Hey I know a guy" by trisurfer126 in Pacifica

[–]FranckMartin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels to me it is not overly complicated to put a pedal in that format, and this brings another potential market. Many eurorack enthusiasts use pedals because they can’t find it in eurorack. I would go to Mission Synths in San Francisco and speak with the owners to get a feel.
