Gave this a go, it's an easy install with pip, and results are pretty quick even on an old macbook. Splits into 2stems (vocals/accompaniment) on some random songs I chose actually quite good using the pretrained models provided. Of course, ripping the vocals out of the accompaniment takes out a good chunk of the middle frequencies so some songs sound a bit wonky. Worth a play if you are interested.

Very similar items are ~65c (USD) on aliexpress, can imagine the suppliers are the same.

Epic tale of a troll in an online Mafia game, where the players seem obsessed with doxing. A tad long but worth the read.

Well I'm likely using the wrong technical term, but it's the one most often used in my industry (in my experience). I'm referring to adjusting the original strength of the signal. That is, the signal level at the point it enters the audio mixer of the computer. I'd love to be able to control how that signal level is amplified, or at least make it easy for guests to manually.

I'm not great at explaining but if you search for 'gain in an audio context' I'm certain there'll be better explainers!

We're using ISDN for studio linkups in between radio stations, and for remote location -> studio connections. Would love to use Skype in it's place, major barrier is lack of fine-tuned control over gain, disabling AGC, etc. Video broadcast does seem to be the focus here, but Skype could be incredibly useful in radio broadcasting too.

I think the radio industry would definitely pay for an advanced software client, especially considering so many potential guests have Skype setup at home. Having control over guests gain and more detailed metering in the client would be brilliant.

Not something I would use as I haven't got too annoyed with the web yet, but that is one excellent, common-sense interface,

Glad to see more entrants not backed/beholden to major labels, congrats. Very clean and well designed site, pleasant to use.

Bandcamp currently has most of the indie diy music distribution market, do you consider them your competitor? What would you consider your advantages over them - to artists? Bandcamp take a much smaller cut (15% on digital, 10% on merch [edit: forgot PayPal fees 4-6%]), offer free downloads, and are agnostic in the sense they are just a platform: customisable pages etc.

Good luck too!

I'm particularly fond of the attention they paid to hand-drawing the symbol, it certainly seems simple and quick.

Putting a "Design by @DCURTIS" tagline in the footer is really weird, to me it implies some connection (where there is none). If you are going to copy without permission, don't imply that you have permission like this. I know it probably just comes default in the WP theme, but this applies to you and the theme creator.

I know many will argue it shouldn't matter, but it really makes me subconsciously think less of the blog author and the post's content.

Definitely a good idea - 3D printing vending machines is intriguing enough to garner interest on HN/elsewhere without the misleading blog post.
