Just giving a bit of context here:

Marianne is a french far-right sovereignist newspaper. I’m not surprised it’s spreading this kind of informations as its goal is definitely to weaken Macron’s government. Plus a lot of its headlines are clickbaity bullshit serving a far-right agenda.

I’m not saying it’s a direct propaganda newspaper, but their interests are inline with those of Russia. It’s easy to get an officer to say this or that so I wouldn’t trust anything written here as it’s just opinions from some french officers.

Could you please elaborate on your usecase and workflow?

There’s no FOSS plugin doing all of what Thimeo offers. You can get close with a lot of processing, but not the same.

I really don’t get it. 200€ for a plugin where you can get a hardware version for roughly the same price, or that can be recreated with basically any soft synth. And there are tons of 303 plugins, both paid and free.

HI, would you mind sharing some production tricks you used? I’m not against some self promotion, but please provide value to the group.

define truly lossless please. Does it mean checking if the audio has lost any high frequencies like in mp3?

I think the only way is to start a community and care/animate it. Even with several hundreds of people, instances aren’t really lively. But we’re responsible for this. If we offer regularly quality content, some people will come and stick around. In 2 words: provide value.

It’s Dune for me. Because it’s beautiful, because it’s a great story, because it has exactly the kind of pace I like.

You’re entirely right, I mixed things up. It’s the SACEM, the french royalties collecting company which has been started this way.

It’s still an interesting question to know where to draw the line about reusing other works of art.

Is taking a picture of a drawing and selling it with a filter fair? Our without filter? Is a recording of a recording where you tweak really little things fair?

Where do you draw the line?

Copyright started when French composers noticed people were using their music and they didn’t get anything from it. Are you ready as a professional musician to accept people monetising your work without your knowledge, consent and without you getting anything?

What would be a good system? A system that can realistically be implemented as of today.

I’d suggest spontaneously a clean popOS, with extra kernel (I had good experiences with liquorix but also with the standard low-latency kernel).

After this, it’s easy to install all you need.

I’m really happy with Manjaro. Depending on your usecase, I’d try Manjaro as the AUR repos are amazing. But Ubuntu based distributions are more widely accepted, getting more easy made packages and support

What about muse and Rosegarden and qtractor?

First of all, it’s a sponsored feature from the french ministry of education so I’ll drink to this.

And it makes definitely sense in a context of smartphone for video use: you film something, trim it and upload it. No need of an external editor for simple stuff. Great for teachers or anybody using the platform as a free tool and not as an ideological platform.

Pick a used camera. You’ll need a standard zoom so as to be flexibel. And tthen start with 1 extra lens. Either a fast prime lens (no zoom) for portrait 50mm f1.8 or a wide angle (less than 20mm) for landscape. Learn to shoot in black and white, it will help you provide some nicer shots later on. Follow the composition rules at first. Most of the time they “just work”.

Learn about light. It’s what makes or brakes a picture.

Learn not to take pictures. If it just doesn’t work, there’s no point to take a picture except as a souvenir.

Maybe https://sepiasearch.org/ is a good way to discover content on peertube. It’s a PeerTube search engine.

Nice video about retro music production. Making you oh so thankful for modern production software

Interesting read about this new selector, only supported in Safari so far

SurgeXT is the newest Version/fork of Surge. It improves it in everyway (as far as I know).

Thanks a lot, exactly what I was looking for
