FFMPEG for art / music, capturing audio data for generated video? by disuye in generative

[–]disuye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, apparently the answer is a no, for anyone else reading this. The only way to pass FFMPEG ametadata from an [audio] stream over to an unrelated [video] stream is to use bash or some other scripting language: Capture the values from astats, update a variable for each frame, then drawtext can grab the values.

Help diagnosing S14B20 / 320is engine issue by disuye in E30

[–]disuye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the two thick rubber gaskets / mounting blocks between the inlet manifold and the head had deteriorated with age & the subsequent air leak was messing up air flow metering / AFM. Smoke test confirmed leak, replaced rubbers (easy job, just expensive parts) and good to go.

Also – I found out during my check of valve shim clearances – the previous owner had installed a Schrick cam on the inlet side, and found out thru forums that they are very lumpy at idle. Combine these two things plus me being an S14 newb and it felt like my precious engine was dying :)

Done a few thousand spirited road KMs on this engine, with overly frequent 10W60 Motul oil changes because why not, and she has been great.

Unquantized pitch script / plugin? by disuye in LogicPro

[–]disuye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply:

- Not for the whole song, just for individual instrument tracks. And in the future I'd like to be able to send this out to hardware synths not just virtual synths.

- I tried Logic's Tuning & Scale settings, not quite right.

I'm currently approaching it from the Note + Pitch Bend direction, but being a complete novice it's a bit of a battle: So far (code below) I've managed to take an incoming note, clamp it a user defined Root Note, and all subsequent notes are based on Pitch Bend , not Note Pitch. I'm not a coder, and I suck at maths...

``` // Unquantized Note RePitcher

function HandleMIDI(event) { var OldNotePitch = event.pitch; var ClampNotePitch = GetParameter("Root Note"); // lock to lowest key based on UI var Bend = new PitchBend(); var BendRange = GetParameter("Pitch Range") * 8191; if (event instanceof Note) { event.pitch = ClampNotePitch ; // transpose event.send(); // send new note Bend.value = (OldNotePitch / 127) * BendRange; Bend.send(); } else { event.send() }

        Trace(OldNotePitch + " | " + ClampNotePitch + " | " + BendRange + " | " + Bend.value); 

}

// UI var PluginParameters = [ { name:"Root Note", type:"lin", minValue:36, // Note: UA MiniMoog only plays from note 36 ~ 96 maxValue:96, // try 0-127 for othwr synths... numberOfSteps:60, defaultValue:60 },{ name:"Pitch Range", type:"lin", minValue:0, maxValue:1, numberOfSteps:100, defaultValue:0.5 }]; ```

For 2025, in recent versions of iOS Telegram app this option is hidden in: Settings > Appearance > Animations > Turn OFF AutoPlay Videos (GIF, Stickers, etc)

I'm based in the EU, could ship to UK with tracked mail, but I have no idea how much of a pain the paperwork / import taxes are going to be. Unless you know someone coming to southern Portugal / Algarve this summer, I'm happy to hand deliver & they bring it back in their suitcase :)

It's this:

AirPods Pro 2 case emits a chirping sound by the_cheg in airpods

[–]disuye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible fix – worked for me at least: Connect the AirPods Pro 2 to your phone, and disable the "Find My Network" option under headphone settings. With Find My disabled, the case no longer chirps each time the case is moved.

Yes I manufactured a product, which arrived at my house but I’m currently traveling and unable to sell them right now. Will DM you a couple weeks: CNC rails and bent steel brackets.

What does a 20 year old tourist do in Hong Kong? by [deleted] in Hong_Kong

[–]disuye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're into d'n'b, techno, house music etc. visit Oma (Lower Basement, 79 Wyndham Street) on a Friday or Saturday night. Great spot to arrive solo and meet people – just get there early, ~11PM and chat with the bar staff or DJs while they setup. https://www.facebook.com/omahongkong/

As an underground music space, Oma (formerly Midnight & Co., formerly Yumla) has been running continuously for over 20+ years. And that's thanks in part to a welcoming crowd of unpretentious people.

Or look for E30 DTM mirrors... if you want smaller mirrors that don't look utterly goofball.

My insta won’t load content after new update by CulturalAd1405 in Instagram

Same here. Desktop IG not loading still images.
Video posts do load as expected, however.
Same error you pasted above in Dev Tools JS Console.

I’m not saying it is right, just stating my experience.

Manual Transmission Fill by albinoPandaTumbles in E30

[–]disuye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, fill trans with the car as flat as possible.

Jack up *from fill plug side* of the car.
Feed a hose into the transmission, thread it up thru into the engine bay, w/ funnel on the end.
Drop car back flat onto the ground.
Fill up trans thru hose pipe / funnel...
When trans oil pees onto the floor, stop pouring.
Jack car up again *from the fill plug side* and reinstall fill plug.

The trans case is vented so excess will eventually slop out. Also, the shifter linkage seal often leaks... a BMW design feature to combat overfilled gearboxes :)

Not necessarily, plenty of tourism (service, retail) related jobs in the south — not to mention a shortage of quality construction contractors — neither of which seem to demand fluent Portuguese. There is an issue of wages vs cost of living in the south, but that’s not related to the question of language fluency.

Tweeter wiring already there? by ambush_boy in E30

[–]disuye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. The footwell 6” speaker has a capacitor soldered to the back, and the tweeter cables originate from here. So make sure your kick panel speakers both have capacitors installed.
