This week I've been focused on mixing my next EP. Will probably spend next week doing the same ๐Ÿ˜

Getting MPC in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I print and bind the manual for any hardware I buy. Whilst undoubtedly I can discover a lot of the functionality just from experience, there's usually some stuff that you discover from the manual that just isn't the sort of thing you find out by chance ๐Ÿ˜Š

Never tried the MPC stuff though (beyond a day with the Force before it had disk streaming), so can't give any specific recommendations..

Cool. Also if you need funds towards hosting costs, I can manage a small monthly contribution.

I noticed the main Irish mastodon instance uses this - looks very interesting (perhaps longer term)

Let me know if you ever need help with server admin stuff. I'm not an expert, but did web dev for 15 years and still comfortable enough on the old Linux CLI.

You want to get into Autechre, where do you start? (waveform.social)
 

This question was posted regularly on Reddit (no one every thinks to search for the answer first..) so I thought I'd create a pinned post with my own thoughts on it - but of course I'd love to hear other suggestions in the comments!

Autechre have a huge discography, so many hours of music, it can understandably be a bit daunting to know where to dip in.

My own personal feeling is that if you jump in with something very recent, depending on your tastes, you might find it difficult to understand or appreciate - and I've always felt that their new releases are informed by the entire evolution of their works over the past 30+ years.

So in my mind, if you've never heard any Autechre, start at the beginning, listen to each album and get to know it before you move on to the next one.

Here's a list of all their albums

https://www.discogs.com/artist/41-Autechre?type=Releases&subtype=Albums&filter_anv=0

But of course don't forget the EPs too - which have often come out after an album and can feel related to that release. For example, when Oversteps came out I found it confused me - it was far removed from what I expected - but when they released the Move of Ten EP, then it made a lot more sense to me.

And sometimes, an album comes out and on first listen you might be "WTF is this?", and to be honest, I've often found the albums that seemed least accessible on first listen have been the ones that grew on me the most over the years.

Anyway - please add your own thoughts below, and hopefully people new to Autechre will find this discussion useful!

Should we move to KBIN? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Of course, you can, in theory, also sign up to an instance and then move to another instance. I know there are guides for this portability when it comes to Mastodon, but not sure how it works for things like Lemmy and BookWyrm.

I guess the only true way to be certain of things in the federated world is to run your own instance and connect to other instances. Ultimately I do plan to do this with a few things, primarily moving myself off Mastodon.social and onto my own self-install on my own domain, the goal being that I'd have no other users beyond accounts for each of my music monikers and a 'personal' one. I'd love to have a books.mydomain.com instance of BookWyrm too if I can muster the enthusiasm to set it up.

One thing I always found about reddit was that I never really absorbed who I was talking to or who was posting what. The user/OP takes a back-seat to the content, compared to the twitter/mastodon approach, where I always felt like I had a better idea who I was talking to - I guess because I'd chosen to follow those people.

A pioneering and, for me, inspiring electronic music duo originally from England who've been releasing incredible music on Warp Records since the early 90s.

Self-hosted photoblog options (waveform.social)
 

Hey folks,

I used to be semi active as a photoblogger and am tempted to get back into the habit. I ran an old self-hosted WordPress for years but I've been hunting around for any more modern alternatives (perhaps more specifically focused on photoblogging) and am not coming up with anything concrete.

Any recommendations?

I could be tempted into a third-party service option if it gave me a way to offer print sales on each photoblog post - but that would really just be a 'nice to have'

Thanks!
