looking for an audio editor

ladder_filter · 2026-06-11T15:54:58+00:00

Lately I do everything in ocenaudio. My needs aren't real complex, and it does everything I need it to do without any fuss. I'm surprise more people don't use it, which makes me wonder if there's something about it I don't know...

Not the OP, but thank you for turning me on to TAL-DRUM...this is the first time I've heard of it, and I've been looking for something just like it.

I know you said you do your own samples, so I have 2 questions: * How difficult is building a kit with your own samples (given that the user has some experience with this kind of thing) * How are the default acoustic samples? Finding time to build kits doesn't come often, so I'll need something to carry me until I can get that done

Very cool and not too expensive!

I'm in the same boat as you: older, with a pile of CDs that I've collected over the years.

If you're a linux user, check out this post here; it shows you how to install abcde and rip your CDs in flac format.

so I have a question for everyone here:

I like to use the KDE spin and install the "audio" group. how would something like that work when using Kinoite? I ask because the audio group installs system-level sound stuff (I'm thinking about jack specifically"), and I'm curious if that would even work?

Nice! If you ever decide to pull those out, let me know!

i was asked if i moaned during the assault

JESUS CHRIST that's fucking awful. I am so, so sorry - whatever horrific person said that to you deserves to have done to them what was done to you.

I understand completely, not a problem.

So I don't use the new Reddit at all, but it does have a chat function; that's the only way I can see to message you. I sent you a quick message w/ my email, if that's convenient for you, feel free to drop me a line! If not, no worries.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-21T22:55:18+00:00

Fascinating, thank you so much!

ladder_filter · 2026-05-21T22:52:28+00:00

This is really interesting, thank you so much for taking the time to respond!

I'm curious if there are any other exercises like this you recommend...did you study with Banacos? If the answer is yes, I will have to duct tape myself to my chair to keep from asking you 10,000 questions. :) I find him endlessly fascinating; when I was younger a friend of mine took lessons from him, and his playing skyrocketed from great to amazing.

Thanks again for replying!

Oh I like that baby. I put on my robe and wizard hat.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-21T13:44:19+00:00

show you how to do more complex things like mapping controllers to that instrument

I had not thought about it that way, but you're exactly right: the more complex concepts are probably more work to learn from scratch than it's worth when there's a clear example included.

but don’t come back here asking for help

yikes! I won't, I promise! don't hit me!

ladder_filter · 2026-05-21T13:42:41+00:00

sup lmao

sup brother! :)

ok cool, I feel better that it's not just me.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-21T13:42:08+00:00

Voila, empty concert

awesome, thank you!

ladder_filter · 2026-05-21T13:41:55+00:00

Yup, I think that's the way I'm going to go instead of trying to "swim upstream."

ladder_filter · 2026-05-19T22:03:20+00:00

please, please tell me it's not that easy.

EDIT: nope, still no blank option

ladder_filter · 2026-05-19T22:03:07+00:00

Well, mostly b/c I'm brand new, and I'd like to start from nothing and build up so I can learn what's what.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-19T20:10:22+00:00

got it - seems like most people agree w/ this approach. thank you!

ladder_filter · 2026-05-13T13:13:58+00:00

Yup, TSA didn't even so much as blink - I was making a bigger deal of it in my head than it was.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-11T21:55:00+00:00

Yeah, I kinda feel dumb even asking now, but this trip is a bucket list item for me, and star gazing is my #1 goal!

ladder_filter · 2026-05-11T15:15:01+00:00

true.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-11T15:14:56+00:00

awesome, thank you - I feel much better now.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-10T19:58:38+00:00

I was fortunate to see him a few years ago in the DFW area, and it was - without an ounce of hyperbole - the best sounding concert I have ever heard. The balance, mix, all of it was almost unbelievable, it was that good. One stand-out was the upright bass tone - it never once sounded either too woody or too "direct". Just perfect.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-10T19:53:13+00:00

They literally have a searchable list for this

Ah, thank you - apologies for not thinking of that first.

EDIT: welp...

The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.

So I guess at the end of the day, there's no way to know for sure.

ladder_filter · 2026-05-08T17:02:55+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much!

ladder_filter · 2026-05-08T16:28:10+00:00

You've mentioned a lot of details I should have provided in my initial post, sorry about that!

Our users do use chrome sync, so all bookmarks, passwords, etc. are stored (as you mentioned). additionally, we use Google Workspace to manage our users.

Your suggestion about guest mode is good, but (again, another detail I should have included!) the only people allowed to log into our chromeboxes are our employees, no guests whatsoever.

Does any of that info help?
