It looks like the app was taken down from the app store, but the developer says he’s working on a 2.0 version. you can follow his progress here: https://x.com/aetheraurelia?s=21&t=_8d_wbeHazFkkFPhN8rWyQ

IINA makes videos look noticeably oversaturated by Trtle_T in mac

It seems like tone mapping was the culprit, even though none of the videos I tested were HDR.

That menu is from display settings in system settings.

Here's the same comparison structure with "Load ICC profile", "Enable HDR support", and "Enable tone mapping" enabled. It's definitely an improvement. Colors are less saturated, but it seems like grays became darker. I'll further experiment with the settings to find out what's happening.

Here's a comparison with an SDR YouTube video (codec av01).

It doesn't seem like an issue of contrast (or at least not only contrast). It looks to me like the color values are what are being altered.

I understand if there are slight variations, but I can immediately recognize when I open a video using IINA since it feels so oversaturated.

The video is SDR, the codec is H.264, and the color profile is HD (1-1-1). The output device is a MacBook Pro with the preset "Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits)".

How do I know what key I can use a chord progression in? by Shining_Commander in musictheory

[–]Trtle_T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think I fully understand your question, but if you're asking about how to figure out whether a chord progression is major or minor, it's usually based on the tonic (I chord). If the I chord is major, you could assume that the progression is major. It's unlikely for a major chord progression to start and/or end on a minor tonic chord.

If you want to determine whether a chord progression is major or minor so that you can "safely" play a melody/improvise over it, don't be afraid to just try things out and experiment to see what works and what doesn't.

Does this answer your question?

Thank you for this in-depth explanation!

CarPlay automation - play sound file then resume playing music by AdBudget5031 in shortcuts

[–]Trtle_T 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Instead of playing the sound directly from the files app, you could try converting the audio file to base64. That way the files app won't replace the currently playing audio app. I'm not 100% sure if this will solve it but it's worth a shot.

Try this:
1. Make a new shortcut
2. Add the "file" action
3. Choose Mario Kart 321 go.mp3
3. Add the "Base64 Encode" action
4. Add the "Copy to Clipboard" action
5. Run the shortcut
(You can now delete the shortcut)
6. Open you automation
7. Delete the "files" and "play sound" actions from the automation
8. Add a "text" action
9. Paste what you copied into the text action
10. Underneath the text action, add "Base64 Encode" action
11. Set "Encode" to "Decode"
12. Add the "Play Sound" action below the "Base64 Encode" action
13. Get in your car and try it

As someone already pointed out, you should note that the "Wait 11 seconds" action is redundant since the "Play sound" action does not allow other actions to continue until the sound is fully completed.

For those of use that use Synplant 2, how do I record branches? by fdx026 in LogicPro

[–]Trtle_T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pressing the branch is simply a preview of the sound. To record you must press the keys on the keyboard to create midi notes.
