WorldOfAntiquity is great, I don’t even see what could be “wrong” about these videos.
these slightly creepy old-perv vibes in his shorts/tiktok videos.
I don’t really watch his shorts much, but watched a few including the one you linked. Didn’t seem pervy to me at all.
The protagonist is usually a young woman half his age who probably wouldnt give him a second look.
That’s because the majority of these kind of videos that he’s replying to (what I like to call Witch History) are made by young women. You don’t really see academics or older people making videos like “ten signs you lived in Atlantis in your past life,” because it’s an immature video topic to begin with, but if they did, I’m sure his replies would be just like this one.
I asked a couple of women at work about this and they said “perv” too, so I dont know. Miniminuteman does content shorts blasting poeple for similar beliefs but they’re mostly guys, so I dont think its fair to say its a women only thing.
I do also think its wise for academics not to avoid socials as thats where the misinformation is spreading these days.
I think the point is more to mock the pseudoscience/history in a skit format, but his comments aren’t especially funny or clever. I’d describe it more as “failed comedy” than “old-perv” vibes but it does seem like he should stick to long-form documentary content.
Part of the problem extended beyond software. Back when I got into recording, FireWire was necessary for the data bandwidth and it was standard on Macs. I had to install a card to work with my recording interface on Windows.
On a side note, been using Reaper for years and it has been great as a hobbyist option. I understand why any professional would use something like ProTools instead, though.
I personally like the fact that u-he, acmt and audio damage provide their plugins on linux. I know, not FOSS, but game changing when it comes to switching music production over to linux. Vital is also available on linux, as is bitwig as host.
It seems like a lot of the folk here could be pretty interested in the revival of the Fedora Audio Creation Special Interest Group, as it could become a real powerhouse when it comes to getting more people involved into music creation with Linux.
There are some DAWs like Ardour and LMMS for linux. The bigger issue is plugins. They are mostly NOT for Linux. There are some but the selection is not big. You can use a VST-bridge like Carla. It worked for me, I could use proprietary windows based VSTs in LMMS on Linux. However, I wanted to go fully FOSS. This is rather difficult. You make it sound like there are a bunch of open source plugins. This was not my experience. Especially not if you are looking for more specific things. If it is like that, shit has changed radically for the best the last two years. I had some coding projects related to music production so I would just try to build whatever I needed. But I dropped these projects unfortunately.
I am very pleasantly surprised so far, but that’s because my expectations were so low that I was shocked that ANY plugins even exist. With the way prices are going when it comes to music software, I expect to start seeing rapid progression in the music FOSS space.
All my windows vst work great and with pretty much no configuration with yabridge. I think some heavy drm’ed vsts are a bit more problematic but most (all in my case) work.
last time I checked Windows was the dominant player
Huh? I am confused now. Has the cycle come back around again because in the late 90s/early 2000s last I checked when I was into this stuff, Apple was king with Pro Tools. It's been a while, I used to mess around with FL Studio 20 years ago.
Huh, last I checked, the professional standard was Mac, at least for recording instruments. From what I vaguely recall, Windows has a latency issue due to how they handle audio stream inputs. I went through these woes myself once while using my guitar & Amp through my computer to practice with headphones on and having the music playing on top. The latency just doesn’t allow you to concentrate on what you’re playing, it completely distracts you. You can get it lower by doing something, I don’t remember what, but that solution ends up introducing random new bugs such as certain audio streams suddenly not playing at all for a while before fixing themselves, and it still doesn’t quite get latency low enough to not notice it.
Maybe it depends on who you ask or where you are. Maybe a US vs EU thing? I never was a professional Musician, but when I started reading about creating/composing music for Video Games I learned that many professional Studios run on Windows because of proprietary standards and software. that is not available for Apple (and Linux)
It’s good to know amp sims and VSTs on Linux have come far! The drums still aren’t where I’d like them to be to switch and I’ve tried several times to get Steven Slate Drums and Superior Drummer working with a VST bridge in Ubuntu Studio, with no luck. Still sticking with Apple for now, but at least I finally have Windows out of my house.
Is there a community or database where people have tested different plugins on Linux either natively or with Wine to see if they can get things working?
There is, if you look up yabridge that’s like a plugin bridge that natively runs windows vsts in reaper for Linux through wine with almost no hassle. They have a list somewhere
