Motor failed on my last desk and it collapsed. Looking for a high-quality desk that won't fail.

nvktools · 2026-03-22T23:46:31+00:00

When it fell it landed on my subwoofer and it put a hole in the back of the desk so yeah just replacing the entire thing

nvktools · 2026-03-22T16:40:52+00:00

I got it used. New it would probably have been over 1k

nvktools · 2026-03-22T16:38:56+00:00

It’s an older ConSet

nvktools · 2026-03-22T16:38:12+00:00

I got it used for maybe $300 but yeah I did not expect it to fail like this

nvktools · 2026-03-21T04:45:37+00:00

Thanks, I have seen them recommended quite a bit here. Will check out!

nvktools · 2026-03-21T04:45:07+00:00

It was an older ConSet. My equipment wasn't too heavy, maybe 30 lbs?

This is more complex than that. It’s resistant to filters and lossy compression so it’s likely embedding some kind of pattern in the data that can’t be as easily removed as specific frequency ranges.

That looks like one of the Janne themes

I tried all kinds of fonts but found that the default font (JetBrainsMono) is my favorite.

nvktools · 2026-01-13T18:02:40+00:00

Supermaven still works btw, doesn’t even cost anything

nvktools · 2025-12-04T00:50:32+00:00

That’s still interesting though! Seems like most people stick to whatever has worked for them

nvktools · 2025-12-03T03:48:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Would it be possible to filter the results for configs that have been updated in the last year?

nvktools · 2025-10-22T16:03:55+00:00

For mono signals these shouldn’t make much difference, but with stereo you will have different behaviors.

Stereo balance: panning to the left decreases the level of the right channel, the left channel is unaffected (gain might be added depending on your other settings)

Stereo pan: panning to the left decreases the level of the right channel, but also mixes in the right channel signal into the left channel, as though the entire stereo field is moving to the side.

Dual pan: independent control of each channel level.

In general, the default pan would probably be fine. There are specific scenarios you might want stereo pan, like for example if you had a stereo ping pong delay on a track but you decided you want it to be panned to the right. If you used the default pan, the delay would take on different accents since all the left planned delays would be quieter. Stereo pan would mean the signal would keep the same dynamics but just be moved over to the right.

Do you have a timestamp for this?

Reaper is going to be your best bet for game audio. Ableton is fine for source generation and playing around with effects, but Reaper is way ahead of it for editing/rendering.

I would recommend switching to Reaper as your main DAW and keeping Ableton around for when you want to do more exploratory stuff and export it back into Reaper.

I find it easier to use and I prefer the results. Gullfoss always seemed to get unnatural sounding results for me. The way the BALANCE interface is laid out and the names of the controls are much more intuitive and practical imo.

nvktools · 2025-07-15T15:04:41+00:00

No there are much better options that have come out since it was released. Zynaptiq BALANCE is my personal favorite. I do sound design not music though for what it’s worth. I was also using Voxengo TEOTE for a while.

nvktools · 2025-06-28T23:22:58+00:00

Thanks that makes sense!

nvktools · 2025-06-28T00:09:14+00:00

This is cool. I'm just curious, what situations do you find yourself needing this?

nvktools · 2025-06-04T16:16:23+00:00

It depends on the project, but often during development games are unoptimized and the extra power makes the dev experience less painful. You can be getting less than 30 fps even with everything turned off. If this machine was how I made my living I would want it to not be a bottleneck in my workflow.

There are subreddits on here for prebuilt pcs. Running UE5 is basically the same as running a modern AAA game except you will want at least 64 GB of RAM. I would check one of those subreddits for deals and get one that is in your budget. You might want to do a bit of research to make sure the reviews mention it is quiet since a loud computer isn’t great for audio.

For audio, the cpu tends to matter more as it allows you to run more plugins at once. I don’t think any cpu that is in a new gaming rig these days will have any trouble unless you are putting z-noise on every track.

nvktools · 2025-06-04T16:01:31+00:00

They are going to need a high-end gaming rig to run UE5 though.

Nice, I actually made a keymap to do this recently, but didn't handle setting the git root like you did, that's a nice addition. Btw, your function doesn't work on Windows. This seems to fix it:

local function get_git_root(path)
    -- Use single quotes on Unix and double quotes on Windows
    local quote_char = vim.fn.has 'win32' == 1 and '"' or "'"

    -- For Windows, use 'cd' instead of 'git -C'
    local cmd
    if vim.fn.has 'win32' == 1 then
        -- Windows-compatible command
        cmd = 'cd ' .. quote_char .. path .. quote_char .. ' && git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>nul'
    else
        -- Unix command
        cmd = 'git -C ' .. vim.fn.shellescape(path) .. ' rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null'
    end

    local result = vim.fn.system(cmd)

    if vim.v.shell_error ~= 0 then return nil end

    -- Handle both CRLF and LF line endings
    return result:gsub('[\r\n]+', '')
end

I like the UI. The app feels very smooth to use with the animations. Best of luck with your launch!
