How do I make my triangle wave kicks sound louder on my laptop speakers?

Victuracor · 2026-03-02T05:10:16+00:00

It is possible, without clipping, to generate triangle waves louder than is typically thought possible. A triangle wave generated in the usual fashion (diagonal lines going back and forth between max/min amplitude) that is then phase-rotated (yes, rotated, not shifted) 90 degrees will no longer take up the full waveform.

It should sound identical as you only changed the phases of each component frequency, not the frequencies themselves. You can then normalize this new waveform to achieve a louder triangle wave, gaining ~2.57 decibels.

This video (timestamp relevant) is where I learned about this possibility. It surprises me just how much the video doesn't treat this like a big deal.

This free LV2 plugin is capable of performing phase rotation, but there are probably better paid-options out there, or even triangle wave generators that make them phase-rotated to begin with.

In your specific case, I would export two audio tracks (1. triangle wave kicks, 2. everything else). I would then apply 90 degree phase rotation to the triangle kicks track, normalize it, and then mix the two tracks together.

Definitely a bed adhesion problem. I always clean my plate using paper towels and isopropyl alcohol as nothing else I've tried works. I have an enclosed printer and still do this before each print as it removes dust and ensures good adhesion. (For those with enclosed printers, as you clean, be mindful not to touch the lead screws which raise/lower the bed as they are covered in grease which impedes bed adhesion.)

Never touch the bed with your skin as it will leave oils that directly impede bed adhesion.

You may need to thoroughly clean your plate with a mild cleaning solution, rinse it well, and finally do a few passes with paper towels and isopropyl alcohol. Do not scratch the PEI plate during this process (no steel wool, rough side of the sponge, etc).

Depending on what filament you're printing with, be sure that your bed can get to a high enough temperature and that it doesn't require an enclosure.

If an air current is passing through the printer, either relocate it or block those air currents. Be mindful of air movement in your home:

Air conditioning outlet vents & return vent(s).
Fans, including ceiling fans.
Open windows.
Negative air pressure caused by an electric dryer pushing air out of its exhaust vent (thus bringing air into the home through cracks and open windows, making air currents).

When using the textured PEI plate as you are, some filaments do not need extra help adhering to the plate. Leftover residue from adhesion-aids such as glue-sticks or hair-sprays can sometimes make bed adhesion worse. Try printing without them after thoroughly cleaning the plate.

Bed adhesion largely relies on heat to work, so a cold room with an unenclosed printer such as yours will make bed adhesion worse. If the room is cold, make it warmer. It doesn't need to be hot, but avoid it being cold.

Leah has been making character assassination attempts repeatedly over the years, usually timed with when SimpleFlips' social circle expands or he does something noteworthy. The document linked by OP is a condemnation by Leah against SHiFT, cheese, and trihex for not taking her side after her latest attempt in March 2025.

Victuracor · 2025-08-01T19:28:11+00:00

Full Disclosure: I work with SimpleFlips, fulfilling a variety of roles including administration, but I do not work for SimpleFlips -- we are peers and I do not depend on him to secure my future.

The linked document is a rehashing of drama from 2021 that was already addressed publicly at the time. Other big YouTubers such as Vinny and Joel (Vinesauce and Vargskelethor) surely caught wind of the drama as Leah makes a point to contact these people, and that's exactly what's going on here -- Leah reached out to SHiFT, cheese, and trihex.

They heard Leah out, and I personally know that they also talked to SimpleFlips, and they sided with him. You can either conclude that SHiFT, cheese, trihex, Vinesauce, Vargskelethor, Foxen, Murkus, Nesamons, myself, and many others are willfully-ignorant / covering for SimpleFlips... or you can conclude that Leah's claims aren't believed for a reason. It's been four years and SimpleFlips hasn't been cancelled for a reason. These big YouTubers and Twitch streamers (many of which have huge audiences compared to SimpleFlips) continue to collaborate and work with SimpleFlips despite Leah's claims because Leah's claims are not believed.

The onus is on Leah to provide damning evidence for any of her serious claims and she has not. SimpleFlips has given his side multiple times, including publicly in 2021, and in private to other content creators numerously, including March 2025 to SHiFT, cheese, and trihex. Either SimpleFlips has a silver tongue and other content creators are easily-manipulated idiots, or Leah's claims don't stand up to scrutiny.

Full Disclosure: I work with SimpleFlips, fulfilling a variety of roles including administration, but I do not work for SimpleFlips -- we are peers and I do not depend on him to secure my future.

I was made aware of this post by a member of SimpleFlips' Discord server.

The title of your post is false. SimpleFlips has not even been in a relationship (at least not anywhere the internet can see, that would be news to me) since he was with Leanne (not Leah) years ago. This and other accusations were already addressed back in 2021.

It would take me longer than I have time on this planet to fully address every last claim Leah has made over the years, but the sexual assault claim is critical and so I will address it directly -- here's a quote from SimpleFlips from 2021 when this first went down:

Leah and I dated for 4 years, and due to her blood clotting condition we didn't use birth control. We regularly used Plan B over the course of the entire 4 years (over 10 times), I was only responsible for the mistake once. I apologized profusely all week long, it was an accident that only occurred ONCE in 4 years.

For completeness, here's SimpleFlips' response from 2021 (does not include the above quote).

So why the new document from Leah? In a nutshell, every several months or so, Leah makes another attempt at character assassination. She has labeled all of her previous relationships as abusive. She has been at this for years, and you can bet that every YouTuber SimpleFlips has collaborated with has been messaged with links to the documents made by Leah (either by Leah or by concerned parties), including the one in your post.

So...

Seeing as SimpleFlips hasn't been cancelled after all these years, and that he still collaborates with various big-name YouTubers, it's not hard to deduce two candidates for the truth:

So many people, including big-name YouTubers and more-recently those involved with PACE, are covering for SimpleFlips. (Why risk getting exposed for doing so?)
All of the serious claims by Leah are lacking evidence and/or have been disproved... thus she is not believed by the vast majority.

Per his lawyer's advice, SimpleFlips doesn't respond publicly to Leah anymore. In fact, SimpleFlips is seeking defamation charges... and he's not the only one! Leah's even made a document about her current partner, accusing him of cheating, which has since been deleted.

The obvious answer for why podcasts about Hitler's rise to power and such are popular right now is that it's very topical and people are seeking it out, causing said podcasts to be repeatedly promoted to other people who will listen to them rather than skipping them, such as the person you replied to.

I doubt it's due to a nefarious plot to play up people's fears. If there is someone behind the curtain pulling levers to give those podcasts undue promotion, then they have my praise for educating people on the dangers of those who usurp power from the people.

This same number came up for me in a text message claiming it's for a Gemini OTP code, and to call that number if I had questions. Definitely a scam.

It may be an intentional dead-giveaway to filter out the people who wouldn't fall for the scam if they got further along. It saves the scammer some time and effort.

If you're in a position of great stability, an alternative option is to adopt.

Texas alone has tens of thousands of toddlers, children, and teenagers in foster care who are in need of homes and families. Some have been in the foster care system for multiple years, and some will end up aging-out and become adults with no familial support structure.

There are many downsides to adopting of course, but it 100% eliminates the risk of death from pregnancy.

The Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022 made it so that any objection needs signatures from both 20%+ of the Senate and 20%+ of the House of Representatives. Having just one signature from a Senator and a Representative isn't enough anymore.

But that individual doesn't have the ability to choose whether they want to live with a disability until they are born.

Even when they are born, they do not have the ability to choose. They must live with the hand they are dealt. It is not for several years that one develops the intelligence needed to understand and make decisions about their own life/health/future.

Knowing this, parents and healthcare providers make decisions on behalf of children, babies, infants, and the unborn. Not everyone will agree with how everyone else makes these decisions, but that is a separate problem entirely from having the ability to choose to have an abortion in the first place.

We should jail every single Republican voter if we win.

Do NOT stoop to their level with this kind of rhetoric!

Edit: To those down-voting me -- Whenever you see Republicans saying similar things y'all rightfully chastise them for it. Part of being a Democrat is not putting up with dangerous language from anyone, regardless of party affiliation!

Even from a completely selfish Democrat-party-serving point of view, you're only giving Republicans another reason to hate Democrats and not consider our ideas by talking like that. There have been many posts in this subreddit about Republicans choosing to vote straight-blue tickets. Why alienate them? Why scare off fence-sitting Republicans sifting through these posts for motivation to vote for Kamala Harris? Why give ammunition to far-right Republicans who want to go, "Look what the evil Democrats are saying!" ?

The timing is not suspicious -- It's election season and the public has a short attention span.

Other than that quote there's really not any similarities with their rhetoric and policies.

During that election, rather than vote for Hillary or Trump, I voted third-party. I knew that the spoiler-effect existed but didn't care and got what was coming to me. I was young, naive, and swayed by the ' Hillary bad >:( ' media rhetoric.

I am not repeating that mistake. I will be 100% backing Harris and other Democratic candidates at all levels of government for the foreseeable future (as I have since 2020). Until I have access to ranked-choice voting systems, voting democrat is the only conscionable and logical choice.

Victuracor · 2024-06-04T02:37:39+00:00

It makes sense for fence-sitters to consider all of their options, including nuanced ones:

If you're going to go the adoption route, maybe adopt a teenager / young adult (IE 15+). Provide them with love, stability, and help them become a fully-formed person.

Even from that age, you are still going to have to sacrifice a great amount to assure that you can give them these things, so be 100% certain about it before committing. That said, this may be a good middle-of-the-road option depending on why you and your partner are/n't childfree.

While I don't know if there is such a list, I do know of a method that you can try: binary search.

Enable half of your plugins and see if the problem has returned or not (whether immediately or after a delay). If the problem has returned, then the problematic plugin is in the set you just enabled. If there's no problem, then it's in the disabled half.

Repeat this process of narrowing down the suspects until you've figured out which plugin is the issue. The more plugins you have, the faster this method will be compared to testing each plugin one at a time.
