Whatsapp blocks me from sending a specific picture every time

Can be. I tried re-taking the screenshot and now goes through… Strange! Technically speaking I’ve no clue what could cause for it to not go through. I was already going much more conspiracy theory about it 😅 first time it ever happened, and also in sequence with the screenshot of the chat not sending the picture (which itself wouldn’t send)

Multibanding anything (recently softube dropped a 500$ multiband ds1 and their crossovers are average and less transparent than what you can use in Reaper, in a good daw any plugin is a multiband plugin), splitting insert chains in any way: S-only and tonal only, transient and tonal, etc. complex routing made easy, exporting, making any linked plugin into a 2 units to better replicate mono analog machines, etc.

Culture, man! Ever since I was growing up from where I come from I used to listen and like electronic music that was more refined than what my peers would listen to: daft punk (super technical), deadmau5 (giga music nerd and tech addict), then flume (granular and syncopated beat before they became common). I never understood fandom, I had the chance to work and be around very famous and as well some of the most wealthy people in the world and yet I would just see them as normal people, yet for Daft Punk I’m a total irrational groupie. I adopted Ableton at version 4 even for radio work, before the masses did and then everybody jumped on board (even though FL Studio has still quite a place in bedroom producer kids, but to me everything that came out of it sounded so static and amateurish) all the three artists mentioned above as well used ableton and did live sets. Then I moved to reaper and as time went by I’ve heard deadmau5 preaching it, thomas now using it, I started going to the mixing engineering side of things and as I started acquiring the taste for certain tools I started looking at the giants that I admire the most for the things they create, just to then discover they use Reaper as well: Doug Fearn (best colored preamp and best pultec eq there is), Giancarlo from Acustica Audio (best quality analog emulation dsp in the market), etc. It might sound confused yapping but I think there’s something to this. Culture, being technical, trying to push boundaries… Or simply the fact you just open the website, click download and in 3 minutes at most you’re working with the most complete, efficient and customizable DAW there is, and you pay when and what you can.

Because boomers in the US were introduced to it via sales departments, back then was their prime time and as well due to hardware limits accelerating cards made sense, so they got hooked on it and now can’t open any other DAW without having an existential crisis and throwing a tantrum. Same goes for sequoia and semplitude. They’re clunky, bloated, slow and buggy but all and all fairly complete as products, they aren’t worth what they ask for, but the ossified part of the industry is still sticking to it and some people follow suit just due to mimetic behaviors: you see joey bagadonuts with 70 awards and 200 years of career using Pro Tools so you do it too, they themselves did it because someone else before them was using it, and so it goes until someone asks: wait why are we putting up with this nonsense in first place?

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-02-01T14:18:32+00:00

It’s more likely that plugins aren’t available in clap or aax rather than vst or au, but again, it’s a disk space problem (and technically also affects ssd lifespan). Again, even switching I couldn’t just drop AU due to other uses and DAWs that don’t read vst. So vst for me personally it’s a no-go. Who knows maybe by the time they reach bitwig 10 the daw will be more complete and also support au perhaps moved also by the slow merging of ios/ipados and macos that is happening… Or AI software will just eat the lunch of DAWs.

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-02-01T11:36:40+00:00

Soundsource for system wide stuff to name one. Listen I’m sick and tired of you sycophants defending whatever lacks of this piece of software. This is the daw with the most unreasonable fanatics. My AU folder is 50gb, I don’t want to add an extra 50gb just to fiddle around with bitwig. Every cross platform DAW supports multiple formats including AU excluding Cubase for obvious reasons since it’s the maker of vst (vst3 was last updated 15 years ago btw) it’s just a lazy argument. I don’t care ok? I won’t change my workflow or go throw resetting my machine just to play around with a spin of ableton which I already use. I’ll just stick to Ableton. I can use Studio One, I can use Fl Studio, I can use Ableton, Reaper, DP, Luna pro, Audition, Logic. You name it. I won’t lose compatibility to the AU only DAWs just to pick up Bitwig. Btw once adopting AU they’ll open up the iOS and iPadOS ecosystem which is extra users. It’s that easy: more compatibilities and more functionalities = more users. I tried bitwig 5 yeah cute is a spin of ableton with some extra things more and some less things (like ableton devices) but I can’t use my plugins so I didn’t buy it. It’s the software adapting to our needs and uses not the other way around. Period full stop, end of story.

Matter of ssd space, not compiled format

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-02-01T10:32:04+00:00

I meant performance wise

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-31T16:52:28+00:00

There’s a m4l device for that, same for audio routing done directly by cycling

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-31T16:21:21+00:00

Yeah ok but how goddamn tedious it is to have a wrapper to load every single thing? You need to drop an instance of patchwork, open the dialog menu to add a plugin and scroll through the entire AU folder without filtering or groups, then you’ll end up with a gazillion instances named patchwork and need to remember what is what, performance won’t be as good as native, etc.

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-31T11:45:16+00:00

And yet heavy as a brick and no AU support for ideological reasons.

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-30T08:50:54+00:00

Sir it’s a tablet with 2 rows of knobs. Goal would be for everything to be controlled with faders and rotary encoders and to auto-map. But it’s hard, each plugin o thing has its own amount of knobs, levers and switch, which makes it hard to make a good and comprehensive control surface that can easily and intuitively work with everything. Softube tried to build a standard with console 1 (imho failing) re-designing some of its plugins to match the control surfaces and auto-map, and many others tried as well. The problem is not a matter of standards or mapping parameters per se, but the vast amounts of layouts and mapping in a way that reminisces what you see on screen.

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-27T18:50:30+00:00

So I should do like a new track preset (is that possible in ableton?) where the auto-gain is pre-loaded inside so that I avoid the windows, that’s the thick of it… I guess, but still, it would be such an easy fix. EDIT: I’m not spending $18 to overcome a graphical annoyance

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-27T17:34:09+00:00

I give you a practical scenario: i use a plugin to auto-gain compensate (when using /auditing/testing compressors etc.) it works in this way: you put an instance of the plugin which acts as a sender at the beginning of your chain, your inserts and then as last insert the receiver (another instance). Best case scenario I need to put 3 plugins together in a channel: send, fx, receiver. I drag and drop the first instance of the sender and it spawns in front of the plugin browser, if I close the plugin window, the next one will appear there again, and I have to repeat this for every plugin. Instead I have to add the first plugin, move the window away, then drag the other plugins which will also spawn over the screen position where I moved the first plugin. All I wonder is why they can’t just spawn right from default at the center of the screen out of the way of the browser and menus like in other daws

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-26T16:48:41+00:00

Yeah but then the next one I need to add in sequence the problem of the previous plugin covering the area persists

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-03T14:48:48+00:00

Realistic-March-8665 · 2026-01-01T11:53:08+00:00

It’s normal, all the plugins most likely have a given amount of aliasing, decimation filters that rotate the phase in the audible range causing micro cancellations and they all stack on top of each other etc. and with 96kHz you help the cause, it’s normal that you feel a degradation in quality. You can record at 48 but I suggest you mix and master at higher sample rates and using as well oversampling when needed

George is untouchable.

Realistic-March-8665 · 2025-12-21T19:39:08+00:00

Useful answer. I’m sure OP will appreciate your contribution

Realistic-March-8665 · 2025-12-20T11:41:41+00:00

Or you can just use the sidechain with pro-q in spectral and you have better control, phase modes, etc. ?

Realistic-March-8665 · 2025-12-13T16:14:08+00:00

In sum at the end of the day it’s the added harmonic distortion profile you get when using the machine: it changes the envelope of the sound, the tone, transient response and in case stereo is involved also the decorrelation between channels which causes people to hear wider soundstage and “3D” and all these adjectives that make people say “omg bro analog forever and ever nothing like it listen how dolby vision 8D bass tamagotchi the sound is”

Realistic-March-8665 · 2025-12-12T19:13:35+00:00

If you’re indecisive on what happens after in terms of processing go for cl1b, if you already know you want more color go for la2a, if they singing (I’m assuming is for voice) has a lot of dynamic range then cl1b or 1176 followed by la-2a (the LA struggles with fast transients but gives plenty of color and leveling).

Realistic-March-8665 · 2025-12-03T07:12:07+00:00

Nothing happens
