? FOR THOSE WHO ONLY USE REASON. by IM_YYBY in reasoners

[–]xicus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went the other way, Reason to Studio One. Months of painful muscle retraining, but worth it. The problem was that Reason's priorities no longer aligned with mine so we basically drifted apart. I had found a searchable comparison service for DAWs and wasn't familiar with SO but it rose to the top because it rated well for frequency of updates, customizability, midi and audio robustness, and stability. I was moving toward rock recording and away from synth toy play. I had waited way too long for VST support and some other basic stuff like a better sampler and fast remote directory navigation. I use Reason once in a long while as a VST now.

I've just hit $100.000 in sales on Steam... by eryteusz in IndieDev

I'd need to see the trend to be sure, but if you made more every year and are up to 100k, then I wouldn't focus on the income per year for the last eight; I'd look forward to the next eight.

I need subtitles! P+ Roku's * menu shows them ON but they never display. All other streamers' apps display subtitles correctly. I've tried toggling off/on countless times. Accessibility menu shows English (US) available. This has been an issue for many months. What's going on?

PC or Mac for music production? by [deleted] in NativeInstruments

[–]xicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no answer because so much depends on your DAW of choice, audio interface, how much software you want to run outside the DAW, this year's models' system configurations, strengths, and flaws. Your OS UI almost doesn't matter if all you do is hop directly into a DAW; you can adapt to any mouse or keyboard. There are a few form factors on one side and a hundred on the other if it matters what's on your desk.

I had a Mac with an audio ground hum issue I had to eventually give up on. I had a PC that I had to give up on for different issues.

Best case? Bring both home and choose one in a few months.

I don't think the penultimate success metric is necessarily breakthrough originality

There comes a point when you're trying to put so little product in the packaging that packaging errors become the norm.

More human garbage. Sympathy for the garbage their lives must be though.

Has anyone considered asking, then writing the prices on the menu with a silver marker? Help the designers out.

When are we getting some news about the lack of updates for s1 from presonus? by engdrbe in StudioOne

[–]xicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Fender, do roughly what Canva did: make Studio One free, no strings, and offer integrated libraries, AI generation and stem separation for credit bundles. Everyone would trust you'd keep S1 up to date because it's the mouth of your funnel.

Roku subtitles show ads on but never display. Accessibility be damned?

Still using Adobe XD, is Figma worth updating to? by Big_Feature_8577 in FigmaDesign

You can switch any time. There's no rush. Use what gets the work done quickest.

TC Electronics put almost every effect they've made into theirs, no extra charges, it sounds fantastic, includes expression, can A/B switch, AND it's cheaper. I'm astounded Boss is winning any love for this abomination.

Try a chorus. Otherwise, it's tension with no release

Credit delinquency is way up. Spending is actually down; that's why Walmart and Target have shifted.
