Gave this a go, it's an easy install with pip, and results are pretty quick even on an old macbook. Splits into 2stems (vocals/accompaniment) on some random songs I chose actually quite good using the pretrained models provided. Of course, ripping the vocals out of the accompaniment takes out a good chunk of the middle frequencies so some songs sound a bit wonky.
Worth a play if you are interested.
There is a similar, perhaps more significant problem with Twitter's abuse reporting tool[0]. To submit the form, users are required to tick the box that notes they accept the following:
"I understand that Twitter may provide third parties, for example the reported user, with details of this report, such as the reported Tweet. Your contact information, like your email address, will not be disclosed."
I think it highly likely that would encourage further abuse. This has prevented me using the tool in the past, and makes me think Twitter doesn't quite understand the issue.
Well I'm likely using the wrong technical term, but it's the one most often used in my industry (in my experience). I'm referring to adjusting the original strength of the signal. That is, the signal level at the point it enters the audio mixer of the computer. I'd love to be able to control how that signal level is amplified, or at least make it easy for guests to manually.
I'm not great at explaining but if you search for 'gain in an audio context' I'm certain there'll be better explainers!
We're using ISDN for studio linkups in between radio stations, and for remote location -> studio connections. Would love to use Skype in it's place, major barrier is lack of fine-tuned control over gain, disabling AGC, etc. Video broadcast does seem to be the focus here, but Skype could be incredibly useful in radio broadcasting too.
I think the radio industry would definitely pay for an advanced software client, especially considering so many potential guests have Skype setup at home. Having control over guests gain and more detailed metering in the client would be brilliant.
Glad to see more entrants not backed/beholden to major labels, congrats. Very clean and well designed site, pleasant to use.
Bandcamp currently has most of the indie diy music distribution market, do you consider them your competitor? What would you consider your advantages over them - to artists? Bandcamp take a much smaller cut (15% on digital, 10% on merch [edit: forgot PayPal fees 4-6%]), offer free downloads, and are agnostic in the sense they are just a platform: customisable pages etc.
On visiting a download link in Firefox (latest) posted in this thread (https://mega.co.nz/#!jFlzGQiZ!CL2dMi5IAYLUp3ZQ5JS7nmW0sYtudf...) I got the same message - however I can't click anywhere to hide the modal. If you are gonna have such a message at least let me close it!
Putting a "Design by @DCURTIS" tagline in the footer is really weird, to me it implies some connection (where there is none). If you are going to copy without permission, don't imply that you have permission like this. I know it probably just comes default in the WP theme, but this applies to you and the theme creator.
I know many will argue it shouldn't matter, but it really makes me subconsciously think less of the blog author and the post's content.
Just testing on my phone, I get the feeling the newsletter this OP has screenshotted has set it's own padding/margins as well, exacerbating the problem. Still, it should have been quite clear when they were designing it that two margins for a 240px width screen is overkill.
However, the inbox screen isn't so spaced out, and relatively condensed. Thankfully
Great execution, no barrier to playing.
If I understand what you are doing correctly (scraping mp3 blogs), most of the music is provided to the blogs by artist (or PR) for purposes of promotion, so legally it's relatively solid.
I'm curious to know what blogs you are scraping, and how the crawler is moving on to new blogs? I chase a lot of music blogs and host one myself, and know how inconsistent they can be design and format-wise!
Also suggest linking to the original blog the song was found from, somewhat of a courtesy to the blogger, but even more as a means to find more information about the artist (without you having to input that data yourself)
What are the differences, advantages or disadvantages compared to livereload (guard-livereload)? I don't have a full grip on how that works to compare. It's certainly a much better way to work, f5-less
I would see that eventuating if this allowed commenting via the embedding blog, thankfully it doesn't. I don't have the same issue with this that others do, but I remember TheNextWeb getting a bit of slack from commenters for embedding HN comments (although that was mixed amongst other comment platforms, and is a little different)
Really rad project, will be keen to watch this grow. Obviously this is not ready for real use yet, and unfortunately it seems to have stagnated for a month or so.
Currently, the best 'free' audio editor is Audacity, which for all its utility has a rather slow development process, and an awful GUI. I can envision a browser-based solution being rather useful in those two regards.
Not sure Twitter Bootstrap is the best option for the GUI though in this case.
