Ooooooh, I just couldn't halp myself and had to upgrade my pledge on the @mirlo
kickstarter, when I saw one can now be serenaded by @arod as a perk!

If you haven't pledged yet, or are in the market for a trombone serenade as well, check out https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mirlo/mirlo/rewards for the latest fab rewards.

But make sure you do so within the next 4 days, otherwise the project might not get funded, and no one wants a sad trombone! 😩📯

What a cruel system #Fedivision2024 is for someone as indecisive as myself. Plus, my musical preferences are so mood and situation dependent, so this could have turned out very differently if I had voted another time...

Anyhow, the three tracks that stood out for me during today's travel listening marathon, and which I have therefore chosen, were:

🥁🥁🥁

@vote vote BINK NOTH RUGG

Well done everyone- there are so many outstanding tunes this year! 💙

Oooooh, if everything goes well I'll be the owner of a new (old) synth in half an hour or so. Wish me luck! 🤞

I'm only 10 minutes into https://video.mxtthxw.art/w/d10424c0-0e62-42ea-8e8a-56d25caa541b and it has been jam-packed with #UKHipHop such as Roots Manuva's Witness Dub, and Rockstarz by Task Force & Braintax.

Sounds like a #DnB onslaught is about to start too - looking forward to checking that out too @mxtthxw!

Note to self:

Do not try to pull more than the rated current from a cheap Chinese Solar Charge controller's USB output.

Even if it's just 60mA...

Oh look what I found in the wild at #EasterHegg: A whole bunch of @luka's #BeYourOwnPlatform sticker sheets!

Turns out @noisio has been on the case, and now there's a small stack in stock at the sticker table.

Any recommendations for nice Tape Echo style plugins under 50 credits I should try?

So far I've tested Cherry Audio Stardust 201, UAD Galaxy, Imaginando K7D, Softube Tube Delay, Waves HDelay, Softube Tape Echoes and Pulsar Echorec.

My current favourites are:
3. Softube Tape Echoes: slightly too clean Melos type echo
2. Pulsar Echorec: Nice Binson emulation

1. UAD Galaxy: Much better Space Echo than the Cherry Audio version

Fashionably late here's my contribution to #303day: 🙃

It's a remix of my first #Image2BonkWave track (originally created with @yonder's incredible #Python script).

This version is still based on the original MIDI file, but is more of an #Electro beat with a bunch of added live-tweaked stuff, including a fairly restrained TD-3 bassline.

Check out the original and links to the tool in this thread: https://chaos.social/@axwax/111755742989800569
