it would probably be pronounced something like "KHEDEBU!"

𓄡𓂧𓃀𓏥

/ẖdb/ [ẖVdVbu]

("kill" as a plural imperative in Middle Egyptian)

i *love* BBDs!

i still dream of a fully unlocked BBD module with a patchable feedback loop, no clock filter, and ganged together for stereo ping pong effects

an enby can dream

Flatseal is so cool!

but only because flatpak is so cold

karplus-strong is another fun synthesis technique, but tricky to get right in the analog domain

it involves a feedback loop with a short delay, a low pass filter, and a noise burst

depending how you tweak it, it might sound like a cello or a bell or a flute!

just to add to this, there are a couple other interesting ways people shape sounds

one i have only heard called "west coast synthesis" starts with a harmonically simple waveform (like a sine or triangle) and distorts it (by clipping, wave folding, etc) to add more harmonics - like a reverse filter!

i was tracking a lot of those forks for a while, they pretty much all die out instantly, there is no vision or follow through

the GNOME HIG is the devil 🔥🤓🔥

you can also download track metadata from various online data sources is in the File menu

actually i (partly) take back what i said about it being less powerful

Kid3 has some WILDLY powerful abilities that surpass just about anything else out there, it just requires digging into the manual a bit

you can not only tag your tracks from filename and vice versa but you can also use regex!

oh Kid3 also runs on Windows, macOS, and Android in addition to Linux

and there is a pure-QT non-KDE version (pictured above) if you care about that kind of thing

it is not a perfect replacement, especially with its very strange double-stack file/directory view that i have learned to live with but do not understand, like the haunted doll living in my house

but it might make editing audio file tags a little easier as many of us enter the post-streaming era

Kid3 is a GUI tool that can mass edit audio files of all kinds

and it also acts as a player

it is not as powerful as MediaMonkey but after using DeaDBeeF's tag editor it might as well be uncut cocaine (the canned drink, not the nose candy)

MediaMonkey still has the best features for tagging and reorganizing audio files but it just does not work well on Linux

i had looked for alternatives before but had no luck, all of the media library programs are straight up trash

but then i found a project called Kid (KDE ID Tag Editor)

if it a contractor snuck something in the reasonable response would be to make a statement that they are committed to it never happening again

unless they intend to do it again

and it seems pretty clear Guillaume Broche, the CEO of Sandfall Interactive, is fine with it if no one notices

sure they replaced the assets in a patch, that is the bare fucking minimum

but never made a statement about it at all

the only reasonable assumption to make from this silence is that they used "AI" pervasively during development and hoped that no one would notice

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched with assets produced by stable diffusion or some other "AI" image generator

what part of that was not considered creative work??
