  Discovered a project that looks very promising: https://github.com/liketheduck/supernote-ocr-enhancer. It uses Apples ocr tools to improve the text conversion of supernote notes. It does it in a way that is pretty transparent, and while not real time, fast enough to be useful I think. I just need to get it working 8-) #supernote #python

  I used to think learning #python was the barrier to getting projects to work. Now I realize it's learning how to manage python packages and environments that is the barrier, at least for me it is. Conda? Virtual? Ughhh.

  After many years of hemming and hawing, finally got a wireless mic setup - the Sennheiser Profile. Have fiddled with it a bit and I'm happy so far. I was hoping it would connect via USB to the Sound Devices Mixpre, but alas no luck. The receiver output works well with the Sony A10, had to crank the gain on the Mixpre. Worked fine using Twisted Wave on my phone. #fieldrecording #wirelessmics

  So I'm making a video, which really means remaking a video several times 'cause I'm a newbie. I think every time I make a vid I end up in the Final Cut vs. Davinci Resolve recreational rabbit hole tour. One is free, the other is touted to be faster on a mac, both do everything I need and beyond. Instead of actually getting the video done I try them both, and so far have always ended up back in Resolve. Maybe only until today. (1/2)

  I’m learning that #melodics is addictive, which is a good thing for any app that teaches. But I’m also learning that it too get’s tired and starts to miss marks but a reboot gets it back on track.

  Is it possible to make a lofi beat that is not chill?

  Returning two things I didn't expect to be returning: Roland SP-404mkii and a Tascam DR-40XP. The SP-404mkii is nice, but huge, the sound is odd to my ears and the pads just aren't reliable/sensitive enough despite several controls for adjusting them. There were lots of other minor things, and in the end I realized it would end up on a shelf unused. (1/2)

  I’m not sure I agree that patriotism and intelligence are on the same side in today’s world. I’m reading ‘patriotism’ as ‘folks who claim to be patriots’, to be clear. Daring Fireball: Ulysses S. Grant on the Future Dividing Line https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/08/03/grant

  #Tonverk is a very different beast than #AbletonPush3 , well, obviously, but really I'm noticing it in ways i didn't anticipate. For instance Push is designed to start up in a blank state, always starting from scratch. Tonverk starts with the prior machine state, starting from where I left off. Push seems to encourage me to use drum presets, Tonverk says I should make a preset from individual hits…not really sure why. (1/2)

  For anyone thinking of buying #AbletonPush3 stand alone version because they want #AbletonLive in a box, well, it isn't. Lots of little things missing here and there. One is Granulator 3 doesn't let you change the sample on Push 3. You have to make a preset with your sample, which means using a computer.

  I keep thinking about the #Digitakt. It’s stupid because there’s a lot of overlap between the that and the #Tonverk I already own.

  Looking at tools to batch convert my samples from Mars instruments to the formats necessary for the Tonverk. There is more than a couple! #elektron #tonverk #samplesfrommars

  @mitsuhiko that’s because #AI absorbs time as well as it absorbs power and water.
