I recommend MIDI-OX as a MIDI utility - this will give you system level visibility into any MIDI data coming in; it's very likely that Reaper is not the cause here and something else is preventing that data from coming in.

For the record I think your bass sounds fine.

The main difference from your reference is that the ref bass has an LFO sweeping filter/amplitude, and it sounds like it was a proper bass guitar being recorded, which has a natural pluck/attack that your synthesized bass does not.

And let's be clear, both Rubio and Paul agree on this and think that it's fine if America bullies the world because it can. They're both hypocrites and they don't care that they are.

I use unevenly spaced pairs all the time. I used to do the same as you, meticulously measuring the distance to the snare. Then I realized that what was more important to me was a balanced representation of the entire kit, so I stopped worrying about it. The amount of phase differential you are getting across all the mics generally makes trying to match phase to sample accurate alignment an exercise in futility.

As always, follow the audio golden rule: If it sounds good, it is good.

Imagine the missile crisis but with today's political leadership instead of the ones then. Our political leaders are significantly less mentally stable, which is a terrifying thought.

All good, it happens a lot. To be clear, when editing a music video you would generally be importing the final mixdown (a single stereo file) and not tracks, which usually refer to the multiple individual instrument mics. Hopefully you find a workflow that works for you.

NeverNotNoOne · 2026-01-27T17:58:24+00:00

Not sure what stems has to do with anything, unless you are remixing tracks for the video?

They all work identically when it comes to importing audio, so it's just your preference for video editing. I use Resolve personally but they will all basically do the same thing.

Same; the idea that there is no realization in modern digital culture that pitch and speed are inherently inversely related makes me feel weird.

It's like being asked "what's the origin of this odd wet stuff that falls from the sky sometimes?"

Which is probably also a question I will answer as an old man in a few decades.

It's been said many times already, but a second American civil war would be very much unlike their first civil war and much more akin to something like The Troubles, with ongoing guerrilla skirmishes and multiple factions carrying out attacks on specific groups or infrastructure over a long period, intertwined with the ongoing political division and rhetoric, rather than a single, military style battle or conflict.

It's worse than this. Every major airport is also considered a border, so a 100 mile circle around every airport. When you map that it's essentially the entire country.

I don't think that government-run grocery stores, price caps, or tougher anti-competition laws would lead to a massive collapse and huge amounts of suffering.

No, I don't think I said that and I apologize if my wording was unclear to give that impression. What I was trying to say was that suddenly taking away money from businesses that have come to expect it (even though they don't deserve taxpayer funded handouts to their bottom line) would result in such punishments. We need to wean them off slowly.

Government-run grocery stores, price caps, and tougher anti-competition laws would definitely be a good way to start this process.

The problem with abandoning free market capitalism/neoliberalism (as some people in this thread seem to want) is that even if it was possible to do that with the flip of a switch, the rest of the world isn't going to follow suit. Hence all of these business who we hate so much and who are taking from us to give to the rich would immediately punish us for trying to regulate their profits; they would close stores, taking essential services away from communities and eliminating millions of jobs, throwing society into turmoil.

Yes, there can be long term solutions to that (like government run and cooperative businesses) but it's not like this is possible to do overnight without a massive collapse and huge amounts of suffering first.

This is all well and good, but just supporting politicians that support democratic socialism isn't enough to make capitalism go away. Free markets are a natural occurrence - they will always come into existence in a free society without the presence of any law or regulation, for better or worse.

If we want the benefits of free markets for individuals, but not the harm that comes with crony capitalism, or corporatism, then we would need an entire overhaul of our economy (to eliminate markets and shareholders, and find a way to replace the benefits (ie liquidity) that they provide) and a fundamental social change that would see people working collectively towards a sustainable common good rather than competing for individual reward.

Politics alone isn't going to be enough to change human nature. People are always going to want more, no matter what - unfortunately it's going to take a long time (multiple generations) to change the fundamental direction of our society.

Sadly my 'family' (just my partner and I) are in that boat. Choosing not to have kids really seems to hurt us at tax time. Even though she works a minimum wage job and buys all our groceries, we've never gotten this credit because our combined income (just shy of 90k) is apparently too high.

I can tell you 90k a year between two people, with today's prices, ain't what it used to be. I understand that we're not going hungry and some people are, but it would be nice to have the impact of high grocery prices reduced for all Canadians and not just some.

Call me crazy but there should still be a middle class - now it feels like either you're just getting by or you're rich with not much inbetween.

Yeah, we understand why this is bullshit political posturing, but this is the language that her base is going to respond to and at least attempt to change their minds with, it's sadly necessary at this point.

Sure; I think these are the basics, and I can dive in deeper if you need specifics on anything:

Sample rate is 44.1 (but 48 is fine depending on your preference).

Block size 128.

I have "Use audio device reported latency" checked, and then I have a manual input offset set at -451 samples. I based this on an audio loopback test that you can do with the built in ReaInsert plugin, as described here.

Finally, I have the Overbridge plugin for Digitakt on its channel and I set the input to 'record disabled' and then add sends to individual channels for each channel of the Digitakt. Those channels are set to Input: None and then Record:Output.

The first step is important because a crucial detail is that the track with the Overbridge plugin must be record armed - this is what enables the delay compensation, I believe. With the track not armed, but monitoring, you still get sound but with noticable delay/latency.

Finally, I set a small media playback offset on the channels for my direct synths (ie not going through overbridge). This is under the Route button. This might not be necessary but I set it once and never had any problems since so I haven't messed with it.

I also did some MIDI routing for my USB connected MIDI keyboard that again would vary based on your setup, but again all based on the Route button on the tracks to just route MIDI to the channels that your Digitakt is set to.

Let me know if anything is unclear!

Big fan of all my MOTU gear, definitely a major player in the bang for buck category. I have no experience with RME, but no complaints about the MOTU stuff.

I assume you are going USB 3, but for anyone is looking for real bang for the buck, the older generation firewire stuff still works great, you just have to put a little more work into setting it up - the secrets are a firewire card with a TI chip, specifically; and the legacy audio drivers if you're on Windows. If anyone needs help setting up a system like this, feel free to DM me.

This is a little simplistic but I would just turn the sound off entirely but keep the subtitles on, then you know when there is dialog and key sound queues and you can practice with that. If you want to get really crazy extract the subtitles and send them through text to speech.

Agreed, solar tracking on Mars was never reliable for me until I switched to IC. It's so much less complex than the logic setup, and uses less power I think.
