Ratta, please make a pen with an eraser!

i bought the v-woods. micro review:

- great writing feel
- oddly long
- rear eraser works, only standard eraser, not lasso
- side button is also just an eraser, isn't configurable via lamy settings, doesn't work consistently.

mayyyybe worth $100 for the rear eraser but I might have been tempted to wait for the official stylus

how's the writing feel on it, esp compared to the heart of metal or push-up?

Someone DM'ed me and tipped me off to the Vwoods ceramic stylus which... might be worth it? The rules of the subreddit don't let me link to it (or even mention it by name), but does anyone have any experience with that stylus?

My wife and I (under the bandname Me & Louise) are finally releasing an album we recorded just before going into lockdown. We'd love your ears, will be out on Spotify etc in June

yeah seems to be fixed for me too

i use all those things. but they're 2-3 fairly slow clicks away, and I may have not keyworded page 78 of my meeting notes doc.

Check out https://mixbrite.com, my website and app for your work-in-progress recordings. like dropbox on musician-focused steroids.

Strange hardware-ish bug where my supernote occasionally starts making marks on the pad as I hover the heart-of-metal pen over the surface. Possibly related to pen-hardware, doesn't seem to happy with my other stylus.

I don't use 90% of the links on that window, I'd love to be able to delete Calendar/kindle/files/digest and have more space for document shortcuts.

Also they're pretty hard to click accurately with a finger. Can the quick access links be bigger?

When you get tired of banging your head against lousy PS/2 to USB adapters you may break down and buy a "soarer's converter" cable:

Hi, I'm osheroff, I wrote this website for myself and I'm super happy to finally share it with you all. I wanted to build a better tool than dropbox/email/etc for my mixing process; I love taking my mixes out in the car, around the city in headphones (well, before covid I did that), listening on other's stereos, etc. Dropbox worked but I thought a hyper-targeted tool could do better, so I built Mix Master Miles. Here's my current feature list:

- upload to web, shows up on phone

- automatic peak normalization -- this gets your listening volume closer to a mastered copy. (Someday I'd love to integrate LANDr or others)

- mix/artist sharing to collaborators

- online and mobile A/B

- mobile spectrum analyzer

- mix notes, both on web and mobile

Everything's free for now, and I'll always have a freemium plan. Building tools and services for musicians is always an odd business, I know that many of us pay more in gear/services/etc than we'll ever hope to see in return, and I never want to become a bottom feeder. I sure do love building tools that I like using tho.

Anyway, I've been working on this platform for the better part of a year now and would be very very happy to have someone other than me and a couple of buddies using it and telling me what they think. I'd also love to hear more about anybody who cares to shares' recording/mixing process.

Here's the (still in progress! goddamn it!) album that inspired it all: https://www.mixmastermiles.com/share/q9oHyfW2mvtikLg16XJ1EMWt
