  1. Just tried to install Steinberg’s macOS version of their software manager after watching some YouTuber recommend their free tier synths and sampler instruments. Their latest version doesn’t run on my 2022(!) Mac mini M2 Pro. It hangs at launch.

    Apple popup during install says: “Support Ending for Intel-Based Apps This version of "Steinberg Download Assistant" includes a component that will not work with a future release of macOS. Learn how to update to an Apple silicon version.”

    They still don’t have a clean Apple Silicon version of their completely essential installer in 2026. Went to find a support contact and just found hoops to jump through. NOPE.

    JFC, Steinberg. Get in a ditch.

  26. CLASSICAL or JAZZᵃᵈʲᵃᶜᵉⁿᵗ musicians/vocalists† —
    What has been your most successful resource for hiring a pianist / accompanist for long distance collaboration?
    No, there is no-one local. Yes, I've looked. For years. It's all country and emo-punk around here, or the actually trained musicians are working as teachers and have no free time.

    My first thought is to go with Fiverr, but I wondered if anyone knew of anything "better." (Or anyone specific on Fiverr?) I know there are sortof musician-exclusive Fiverr-type websites, but I'm not sure about the userbase size and general trustworthiness vs "we hyped this up but it's pretty cobwebby"…

    † yes, vocalists are musicians, too — I'm just covering all my bases

    PS - Not looking for "live" recording, just someone I can give sheet music w/ some directions to and have them record me a track.

  35. I've been recording some guitars for a very fun track this week for another artist in the Chiptune Community. It's a Cover of another artist's song on Battle Of The Bits, and they wanted some real shreddy guitars in there harmonising over the chorus. I love doing this stuff so much 🤣 :underheart:

  39. New tune

    I’m working on a new tune. I’m aiming for an ambient EDM sort of thing at 128BPM. I’ve made use of forths in a minor key and played with samples, sound fonts, and synth settings I have not tried before.
