Apologies for lack of updates- I started a new job and moved. I’m finally settling in and finding free time to get back at it.
Quick update on projects-
I recently built a custom gaming computer, and started streaming (www.twitch.tv/aosx182). The VR headset project has been on hold, but now that I’ve got a more powerful computer, I will pick that back up again. I’ve got some videos recorded for it that need editing. Be on the lookout for new music as well.
Cool.
Check out this awesome in-browser code synthesizer.
This is pretty interesting.
The TL;DR? It seems like the point of this would be to power headphones that need juice for things like ANC. Developers would also be able to have headphones give input for their apps. And overall better quality audio, with the possibility of losing the 3.5mm jack.
Do all of those features sound worth it at the cost of yet another Apple-specific connector? I guess Apple will find out.
Here’s an awesome Oculus hack that gives visual feedback for audio. Could have some pretty unique applications. Artists come up with a visual feel for a song or album, and sell you their “experience.” Could be used for music therapy applications too. Combine it with wearable music controllers like a Hot Hand so you can both see and hear what you’re playing. Who knows!
Here’s a pretty in-depth guide to buying a turn table. Also does a nice job explaining the different parts and different types of tables. I’m still in the market but will definitely be consulting this again in the future.
