Sad to see the Foundry’s #Modo come to an end. It was a great piece of 3d software when I tried it something like 12 or so years ago. I downloaded the free end of life license and the latest version. Apparently 2 weeks left to download before the links expire campaigns.foundry.com/modo-eol-lic...

Still in the early days with #Pluto.jl in #julialang but so far it’s been less back-and-forth with different windows and more experimenting with values inside my projects. I thought getting audio files in and out would be difficult but it was pretty straightforward

Thanks so much for your thorough responses. A lot of useful information!

Thanks for your reply. Quick questions about VSCode: is it as reactive as Pluto and is it as lightweight or would I need to install VSCode along with other packages to make it work?

It also saves me from having to write “unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH” in the terminal at the start of every session.

Setting up my projects and packages in the terminal, writing the code in an editor, then running it once again in the terminal. It made the process very long and tedious especially when I wanted to adjust values.

Image courtesy of Github of text on a white background describing the installation process for Pluto.jl. It says: “Install Pluto” (in bold). Next line reads “Installing Pluto is easy! Start Julia,” and then the next line reads “and run:”. In a grey box, it begins “import (in red) Pluto” (in black), and then on the next line it reads “Pluto.run() (“run” in blue).

How come I only stumble upon #Pluto.jl today? It is speeding up my #julialang code so much… and so easy to install

After a few weeks of head scratching in #julialang, changing component values in #ACME.jl trying to understand why the output sounds so lofi, only to find that I’m processing one channel instead of two, ie in mono, in #WAVjl.

I also got that book a few weeks ago. Can’t wait to get some back ordered components so I can get started

Went down a different rabbit hole combining #ACME.jl and #WAV.jl with #swiftUI so I could use sliders on a MacOS app. Still need to work on the ACME.jl part and add more parameters to the Swift app. Right now it’s just a small compressor with 4 sliders but it did build successfully.

It’s been really interesting seeing everything that’s possible with #ACME.jl and #WAV.jl and being my first time working in #julialang I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I’m looking forward to seeing if I can get Metal.jl figured out

I passed a wav file through a bunch of different circuits and got some promising results. Need to read up on more schematics but it was way easier for me than running SPICE simulations. Also trying the DSP package in #julialang

github.com/HSU-ANT/ACME... So I made a “bleep” sound and was successful in saving said “bleep” sound using WAV.jl so I’m done for today.

First day using @ecosiasearch.bsky.social after my wife suggested me switching and so far it’s been painless with less AI results

Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees Ecosia uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over.

Just a brief reminder. If you want to ease away from Google and its horrendous AI overview, there's a decent European search engine - Ecosia - which, unlike massive planet-destroying data centres, is actually helping reforest the planet and set up solar panels.

First time tuning our upright piano and it sounds so much better than any vst/au sampled instrument
