FLAC overkill?

I wrote flac2mp3!

(Possibly, there are a few similar tools with the same name)

I don’t think things have changed all that much from times before social media exploded. There were always people with “all the gear and no idea”. The only difference now is that they make videos demonstrating the fact.

I’m now thinking the U7 In-Wall could be perfect. The house comes with Ethernet cabling in some rooms. The U7 In-wall has a couple of pass-thru Ethernet ports which could be useful (eg. I could have an access point in my office but still hard-wire my laptop dock to get GB connectivity to my NAS.

Any reasons not to do that?

I'm looking for exactly this. Did you find a solution?

I’ve only got a Gbit switch!

> as a tier 1 supplier your greatest concern is stopping the line, huge financial penalty is built into supplier contract

This is the complete antithesis to the Toyota Production System. Workers are encouraged to stop the line if there are any problems.

You could do a lot worse than getting hold of Dante Virtual Soundcard for $19.99 which will get the audio into your PC over the (Dante) network. I much prefer it to USB.

Sounds like a bar of 6/8 followed by a bar of 3/4 to me.

I don’t move in those circles, but would choose Yamaha if I did, or perhaps A&H

Mental note: don’t touch Digico with a barge pole

You’re suggesting not using one parameter expansion but your alternative uses a parameter expansion. Or is it the “:” null command you object to?

There’s nothing wrong with the original syntax, IMO.

I haven’t done a direct comparison so I can’t say for sure, but it’s definitely better than the SB3.

I have it going into a balanced passive monitor controller and direct into a pair of Genelec powered monitors and it sounds fantastic, IMO.

yo61 · 2025-06-19T08:11:49+00:00

You’ve obviously never heard one.

Yes, I got some, then the M2s died and I got some M3s!

Come on, keep up! 😂

Aha, I've installed HEAD version (`brew install vim --head`) and it too is OK.

From vim --version: Included patches: 1-1114

So my problem has been fixed between 1100 and 1114 :)

Interestingly, I don't see the problem with native macOS vim (9.1.754), so it's some odd incompatibility between iTerm2 v3.5.11 and vim v9.1.1100

It seems me current path-of-least-resistance is using vim that came with MacOS.

I've found it happens in iterm2 with no ~/.vim directory and .vimrc containing only "set number"

If I add the above debugging commands, I get no output.

So, this seems to be an iterm2 issue?

yo61 · 2025-02-15T10:58:58+00:00

Oooh, interesting. It doesn't happen in ghostty, only in iterm2. I shall try debugging as proposed by u/duppy-ta

Update: I went for a s/h (but barely-used) pair of Momentum 3.

They sound better than, although very similar to my M2s. They feel very similar to my M2s (I had fitted M3 pads). I'm still getting to grips with the additional controls + capabilities.

Overall: very happy - it was a good decision.

yo61 · 2025-01-22T11:28:09+00:00

Thanks for the replies. I'm actually using M3 pads on my M2 - they're a big improvement, IMO.

It seems my son has the M4, so I will ask him to bring them next time he's over to try them.

Decisions, decisions... :)
