Do you guys still listen to music files locally on your PC? If so, what player do you use? Feel free to comment on which file formats you play and whether you adjust the sound to your liking using an equalizer.

now we're starting to get somewhere.

i'm a sucker for a lightshow. that's kinda why i need that gnome screen blank extension i built.

starting to get a feel for where this wants to head. the living reverb itself is the main feature of the display. now i just need to organize those controls into better groups, and i think we'll be in the ballpark.

the lightshow is cool tho. glassmemphis also has a fun lightshow.

i really, really should just be working on my next record... but instead i'm screwing with my reverb plugin.

here's a differently bad developmental stage in the user interface.

moving towards making the display the central surface. just need to refine my user interface library a bit as i go.

thing sounds incredible, though. and i got permission to use those super sweet captures done by Cian Riordian of Barefoot Recording.

Occasionally, I reassess my native Linux Synth/sampler plugins collection & try to come up with a favorite top 10. While I have plenty more, if forced to choose 10 today it would be:

* Repro
* Hive 2
* Chipsynth OPS7
* Quanta 2
* Sforzando
* Decent Sampler
* Linux Sampler
* Zebra 3
* Apisonic Audio's Speedrum 2
* Shortcircuit-XT

I can make any sound with these.

updated gnome-blank-screen. now supports gnome 46->51 (tested on 46 on X11 and 50 on Wayland). now also supports an adjustable dimming amount (right-click the tray icon for the menu).

this might be useful to someone else... one of the things i missed from my windows-based studio was the mechanism i'd worked out to temporarily mute (black out) my displays, especially when listening critically.

i hacked together a quick gnome shell extension that does the same thing. super+alt+b when it's running gets you all-black-screens. any key or mouse movement brings it all right back.
