Ive now made an 1176 compressor and a simulator of my Orange AD30 guitar amp Im probably gonna try a whole DAW soon cuz why not

@jmsdnns.bsky.social

the thing i like so much about this idea is that i can send the whole daw and every plugin to people I am writing music with and never worry about whether they have, or can get, the same setup as me it would greatly simplify the process of writing music with other people

the weirdest thing about Portland is that my intuition is convinced we're in Connecicut the city *feels* the same as the artsy town in Connecticut, where I grew up and so i am in the weird position of feeling nostalgia for a town i never lived in involuntarily doing my part to keep portland weird

Very interesting point from this talk: Groups of agents outperform individual agents when it comes to business goals. They will be more profitable, they'll make decisions that lead to better financial success, and they do worse on the ethics goals. Frames it as a pareto frontier
