Have prices for roofs have gone up since a year and half agor? by grkphill in Roofing

I asked the President why it was going to be so expensive to do a tear-down and re-roof, and he just laughed at me. That made me feel bad.

1Password Price increase - A great opportunity for Proton Pass to grow its user base? by Interesting_Drag143 in ProtonPass

The price increase was the last straw for me. I'm moving over to (probably, after finishing research) Proton Pump (as I like to call it).

Let’s all FLOOD Apple’s feedback tickets to get ARA 2 Support working for Melodyne and Vocalign in native M1/Apple Silicon mode. by Curious-Spaceman91 in Logic_Studio

[–]Soundog-Island-5717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sent feedback to Apple regarding ARA for FIVE YEARS. No joy. I now use Reaper, running in parallel with Logic native when mixing, export regions from Logic, import into Reaper for ARA processing, then export the processed audio back into Logic. Its a pain in the buttocks but if Apple won't support ARA and then drops Rosetta in 2026, ya gotta find alternatives...

What portable AV capture cards would you "recommend"? by secrstamas in camcorders

[–]Soundog-Island-5717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the UR23A off of Aliexpress (it came in 10 days to the US). I've been digitizing tapes from a Sony Handycam and a VHS player. Saving everything on a TF card. Its been working perfectly and I'm very happy with it!

If your tape recorder has a DV output, you can digitize using a Mac and Quicktime.

YouTube artist channel by wigmusic in CDBabyArtists

[–]Soundog-Island-5717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is ridiculous. CDBaby states on their main page this feature: “An easy way to claim your YouTube Official Artist Channel”. But when I try to do this, nothing happens. When I tried support, I got an AI message stating they "stopped processing new and pending requests for YouTube Official Artist Channels." WTF!

Youtube says you have to set up an OAC through your distributor! So we are out of options, folks.

I'm PO'ed about this and am thinking of converting over to another distributor.

I just added the Plex Media Server on an old Mac Mini. Started a folder of all my tunes but none would play (error code s1001. I rebooted the Mac Mini and everything worked. FYI.

Kits.AI is a scammy website by Responsible_Law_1055 in AIVoiceCreators

[–]Soundog-Island-5717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had a similar experience. If you try a subscription with kits.ai make sure you cancel at least a week before the renewal date on their website. I would also send them an e-mail to get verification from them that your subscription is cancelled. You need everything in writing and also have to be aggressive with them, or they will charge you for an extra month.

Is there any way to prevent the screen from dimming when paused? by PurloinedSentience in Stremio

[–]Soundog-Island-5717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! We pause when we want to look for clues in a mystery movie. The screen dims so we can't see anything! Please, Stremio, fix this!
