Greek to me.

sorry, not so important, just describing my computer gear...

mint

i am not sure, my wife likes it, because its like a mac. i am not into that. i am not a noob either, hehe, my favorite gui is a tiling window manager, the i3. now that can be considered as hardcore by some, but so elegant, fast and lightweigh, gets out of the way, nothing beats it. ideal choice for older, weaker hardware

I'm not into Macs. Haven't touched one for a decade. I'm familiar with Win7 by default and have avoided Win10 for lack of anything compelling and the increased spyware.

https://i3wm.org/ looks cool. I'm tempted to find one for Win7. I have 6 monitors on 2 boxes so in a way I've already got them tiled. I use WindowsExplorer a lot and I hate it. Other file management softwares have pros and cons too but I don't use them.

I looked up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX and I guess you mentioned it because it's bigger than a pi.

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_workstation and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renoise . So you do music - but what kind? Have you used other audio software and how does it compare?

I don't know much about any of it but I figured if I didn't do animation I'd do music. I've watched several of ill.Gates tutorials / live studio sessions - https://www.patreon.com/illGATES Also I've watched Vespers who did the best Enya remix ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL5SmB7PE88

I haven't mixed for a decade, not counting some editing last year. I have no idea what's out there, but I'm likely going to have to figure out some sound design for my series. It will fall into place more after I script and board it all, start testing voice acting, etc. I was totally avoiding it but recently I decided I'd give a try at voice acting on my own series for both parts, old man and young woman, assuming I could totally mess it up in post and make it unrecognizable, interesting, and original with a unique but still understandable sound, making me wonder if I even needed to make them human. Whatever that means. Maybe they're aliens, or cat people, or just have costumes I'd wanna wear at Burning Man.

o_O

are you sure you need another computer?! :-)

i used impulse tracker, on dos a long time ago to make electronic music, and later ambiental, then i had a hdd crash and lost everything, no real backup, just like five tracks and some unfinished ones survived.

that ended it for a while, until i assembled this machine, but, now i have other hobbies, still not feeling the urge to do something, i am using the box as my desktop.

but it sounds like you have some projects going. good.

I don't need any computers. But I want more.

I was going to try to make the old box a Linux Mint. But now I'm just going to put more drives in it and get a newer refurbished box to Mint and try to produce my show using only Gnu stuff.

I really want to set up a VPN server with lots of FreeNAS arrays to share my hoarding and more over IPFS, ZeroNet, Holochain, PeerTube, etc. I wish there was a cheap easy reliable way.

In a few days I'm going to cut way back to focus on planing, writing, storyboarding, character design, etc. for Trutherism 101.

Also, I'm going to finish an animation to that track I edited down last year from this: Baroque Dubstep. It was to be an animated opening sequence for Zoon Politikon. She can still use it, but she'll have to contact me if she want's me to finish the Zoon-specific graphics and branding we'd been working on. This animation I'll also add some graphics to make it a SaidIt.net promo. And with some other graphics it can be the opening intro to my Trutherism 101's first batch of the series, maybe more. I a year or two or few I'll release the animation and elements to be open source. Hopefully by then I'll be more established, perhaps with a webstore and funding in place.

I think I'll wait a month or two before I distract myself with a new toy. SaidIt was a good 4 month distraction. I love it but I feel like I need to do more. I may also start putting together chapters of my #1 project. Whatever I do I'll post updates here.

Ambient music like what? I know a lot of artists don't like to compare themselves to anything else, but it helps. Any chance you'd like to collaborate? Trutherism will need to be very tight condensed writing to keep the animations as short as possible. They'll need to be funny too. But if I'm going to talk about 9/11, the Holocaust, etc etc etc I want there to be as little "rage bait" as possible in the imagery, tone, etc - and make people angry when their heads are flipped. So I intend to avoid MTV rapid editing and flash, rather to make it pastoral, beacolic, beatific, and serene so it will be ridiculous when they actually censor me. So ambient music might be nice.

I used to mix. I barely shared any of it but most of it has survived, though some good stuff has been lost too, including most of my vast CD collection. Thank dog for pirates I have most of it back now. I always wanted to rip it all and share it too. So funny thing, I checked my old site WickedSunshine.com and they actually have some of the few tracks I did share on the Internet Archive. At Burning Man I hosted The Great Canadian Beaver Eating Contests for 8 of my 10 years there. I even mixed a fun sexy "score" to keep the vibe upbeat and not creepy. Of course, after the contest the energy wound down for the post-orgy-orgy and my chill mixes were great for that:

Strange they couldn't archive my images.
