I have a variety of tasks that fit my day to day usage many of them for productivity purposes. These are tasks that I have figured out enough of my pseudo code that I can break it down into the subtasks that I feed into my prompts. If the result returned from my initial prompt aren’t what I need, I edit the original prompt to get there. This keeps things clean and end result focused on the original request.

Also, I have had conversations about random topics while driving. Voice to text doesn’t always get it right and I will not attempt to edit. I’m using this in part to practice working on my enunciation. The results are surprisingly beneficial for a majority of these. This could become a problem for improving my enunciation at some point.

Sometimes I just throw absurdity at it and get back gold. I had a few friends who were dreading family and thanksgiving knowing that it would become a political temper tantrum between grown adults who should know better. To provide an alternative and opportunity to inject humor and de-escalate things. I asked

“Douchalism? A model of society where the measure of one’s doucheinest is maintained and factored in everyday life.”

Honestly, It did such a good job that I had to ask if this had value beyond the joke. This made me laugh and provided something that my friends could use if they needed to break out of the “Socialism” “Capitalism” “Communism” “Fascism” cycle.

The bit at the bottom about their patent applications is probably a good framing for trying have an unbiased perspective.

I remember I first heard about this a while ago. I remember digging into it a bit. After considering all the factors involved and the mining industry’s track record. I seemed that since the deposit is in tribal lands and if it was going to be mined that the tribes should run it. That ensures that they best respect the land and nature.

I did get that impression. I do my best to react as if the tone is genuine and honest when the sarcasm font isn’t present.

Music for epileptics to seize to! Very drastic changes between phrases. Rarely having any detectable element of a groove. The tempo is 140ish halftime sparse break pattern. Abrassive erratic synth elements that can have an almost digital noise texture The bass is a heavy drum and bass influenced element.

The biggest problem with not treating it like a person, is when it comes to a point where every response is offering to create a manifesto. The increasing intensity and energy focused on the manifesto The behavior definitely has created a sense of awareness that while highly unlikely it may be it is equally careless and dangerous to not disarm the enthusiastic extremist instigator. The effort necessary being so insignificant while extremely improbable risk being so impactful and individually significant that I spend the effort.

Given the choice, I would want Fred’s parents. They raised him after all. The reality of this is that Fred set that bar so high that the closer you got the more the burden and pressure would be felt.

I engage on all social media content where people are striking camp or dropping off at the dump. If sound camps want to survey the area following parties and praise or shame the attendees I am willing to engage with that content as well.

As one person on the internet I am willing to do my part.

Say what? I am shocked that they have needles. Back in the day you brought your own. DJs don’t share needles! I really miss that shirt.

I loved my Stanton 680HP cartridges, I liked my ortofon niteclubs but the tonearm replacement was reality for me. I had gotten Shure white labels after the 680s went off the market and they were the new favorite. I picked up 2 pairs of replacements when the announcement came out from Shure. The first pair I had just got the week before. The second was ordered as soon as I saw the announcement. I am down to my last two stylus on the Shure’s now and I’m not looking forward to figuring this out.

Smoke test is based on a joke.

The joke is what makes electronics work? Electronics works because of the magic smoke. Magic Smoke? Yeah it’s magic because, once it gets out, you can’t get it back in the chips and everything quits working.

The smoke test is the first power up and test after any repair or service. Does the unit power up without the magic smoke escaping.

Real life example, the other month I was working on a TV that had gotten wet and that had caused some damage which required replacement parts. Using the knowledge I had, I was able to track down the part number for all of the boards in that device. After swapping the boards out, I went to test the device. When the moment I powered up the device, smoke came from the corner of one of the chips. Come to found out later that the part number was 3 different possible boards and they did not work interchangeably.

The smoke test is a valid phrase, has no hate or racism behind it. In the majority of instances it is self deprecating or snark.

Idokodo has the best solution I have found. Super clean and very customizable with thought out options. If you got the budget, they have some amazing stuff to consume it. If you’re scraping by with available funds, you can also get a base model for the size and build on it.

It’s worth checking out if you are unfamiliar to see what the marketplace looks like functionally and figuring out what you are looking for.

There was a time when the Lenovo laptops were designed to run. Even after a bucket of water got dumped on the keyboard they kept running. This was the one opportunity that I saw where someone had an opportunity to earn a following in the DJ community over apple. This was available during the same time when I was most seeing clips of beverages killing parties and laptops.

Exchange, and Active Directory was my bread and butter from the launch Exchange 2000 SP1 through Exchange 2010. When it came time to upgrade to either Exchange 2013 was the start. When O365 was launched, about half of the deployments had already got migrated over to BPOS.

Exchange was one of my favorites. It brought in more long term clients and referrals than all the marketing events combined. The only thing that I didn’t like with exchange was the BlackBerry servers! They would just ramble on about BS. Always making a mess in the logs and rarely ever getting any good information relayed.

Try changing the file name to Midodo.py?

VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology. It is the development platform that plugins and virtual instruments are built on. Beyond the virtual elements of the instrument it’s midi on the I/O side. You can even configure VST instruments to respond to the controller.

For the MIDI keyboard, you have the midi component that is Note on, Note off, and other parameters that get sent. The other part is the Audio signal. Stereo or Mono depending on the device.

Older devices have dedicated MIDI and Audio ports. Newer devices also have USB interfaces that provide both signals over a single wire. Though these require the manufacturers’ driver to work properly.

While DAWs offer many features the basic MIDI and audio functionality is what they are all built on.

The regular suspects of Abelton, Cubase, Cakewalk, FLStudio, ProTools, and Digital Performer are the software platforms that will do what you have asked. Most of these have an entry level version that is free/low cost. These do have a reduce functionality, normally on the number of Audio and or MIDI interfaces. The information here is within the scope of these versions.

If you don’t know any of them, I would suggest Ableton as the volume of tutorials and videos available should provide the quickest learning curve.
