Good idea, but the demo video needs some work. The music is too loud and distracting especially with that 4 on the floor kick drum, and it sounds like there's some aggressive sidechain compression to make room for the narration.

This is very cool! Will definitely project on the ceiling.
I am struggling a bit with this explanation though:
> ZenithTrack shows a strip of the sky, a thin ribbon, one rice-grain tall, about 2,500 rice-grains long.
What does it mean to say "one rice-grain tall"? Is that angular diameter at arm's length?

That's what Merlin is for but it's a ~450mb install. BirdNet is only a ~30MB install and birds are everywhere, so what's wrong with having an online option for most people who spend most of their time within range of a cel tower?

Well said! I agree. I find that standard notation is an amazing tool for conveying how to perform a piece, and absolutely terrible for understanding the harmonic structure and reasoning about a piece. That stuff is all hidden and inferred if you have the years of experience to just know all the intervals present at a glance.

The thing about emoji that gives me anxiety is that different OS/browser renders them differently, so I can only guess about whether what I'm trying to convey will translate.

Nice! My partner predicted this in some album art she did for a friend. https://badbraids.bandcamp.com/album/supreme-parallel

This is timely, I've been listening to Carolina Eyck a lot during the past few weeks! I've been building a virtual theremin for the Meta Quest, hoping to make this instrument more accessible and flexible by leveraging the powers of visual overlays and motion controllers. Here's a basic walkthrough: https://youtu.be/m8xFstjNxUo?si=ss2wSk1SIG90OWCM
I've been stuck waiting for Meta to verify my identity. Shortly after that happens, it'll be available on the Quest store.

Hmm 20ms is quite a lot. I'm targeting <3ms, ideally.

Thanks! I joined your Discord... And looks like I "liked" your Audiocube post on FB about 4 years ago :-)

Oh yeah, I forgot about this. I think it was a bit less developed last I looked. Not sure if there was another reason I wasn't considering it. Thanks!
edit: ah, it's because it is a plugin for Unity's audio system which I've already determined adds more latency than I want.

This looks great! How small of an audio buffer have you been able to get down to? Any plans for an API?
I've been developing a VR spatial sound and music app for a few years with the Unity game engine, bypassing the game engine's audio and instead remote controlling Ambisonic VSTs in REAPER. I can achieve low latency with that approach but it's a bit limited because all the tracks and routing need to be setup beforehand. There's probably a way to script it on REAPER but that sounds like an uphill battle. It would be a lot more natural to interface with an audio backend that is organized in terms of audio objects in space.
What I'd like is more flexibility to create and destroy objects on the fly. The VSTs I'm working with don't have any sort of occlusion either. That would be really nice to play with. Meta has released a baked audio raytracing solution for Quest, and that's fun for some situations but the latency is a bit too much for a satisfying virtual instrument.
Here's my project for context: https://musicality.computer/vr

If months are circular for you, in which direction do they progress? A few years ago I realized my mental model of calendar months goes counter-clockwise. No idea why. I'm also aphantasic, so it's a sense of space and movement but I'm not actually seeing a circle. NYE is at 12 o'clock, but January is oddly at 11.
edit: here's the article that prompted me to reflect on this https://nrkbeta.no/2018/01/01/this-is-what-the-year-actually...
