It’s that time of year again when the three of us reflect on the things we’ve bought and loved, or the things we want to get…and want to love…So, come join us in this episode for our usual amount of fun while seeing if there’s anything that might make your shopping list! A small note – we forgot to get this episode out before Black Friday but we’re releasing a day early so you can at least make Cyber Monday! And who are we joking nowadays? Black Friday seems to run from Nov 1 to Nov 30. Remember, if you’re going to do some shopping, please do use our links as they help the show out – you’ll pay the same as if you went directly to the sites but we’ll make a few pennies for showing you the way! Happy Holidays and shopping to all!

Tips of the Week

  • Ever thought about getting into synthesizers? Synthesizers are a really cool way of making sounds and music that you can do right from your computer, with no accessories needed, right now!
    Vital is a spectral warping semi-modular wavetable synth. The functionality is almost 100% free (aside from text-to-wavetable) or you can pay up to a max of $80 to unlock discord access, support, unlimited text-to-wavetable, and surprisingly important…Presets!
    Why are presets so important? Because working with synths is not easy, it’s really technical and there are a lot of ways to sound really, really bad.
    Guess what else is cool, you can do a no-upcharge “rent to own” subscription for $5 a month where you can use the money you put in to buy preset packs..or eventually just save up the $80 to buy the pro version. Cool, right?
    One last perk, Vital will totally run as VST/VST3 plugin like most other digital synthesizers..but it also has a standalone version which makes it really easy to get started without learning a whole bunch of other stuff before you get to what you want.

  • Send yourself a reminder in slack…

  • SOMETIMES debugging is just too much
    What do we mean? Well, there was a situation where there was a debug.log() statement that had if statements wrapped around it – if logging level is debug, then debug.log(). That had Outlaw scratching his head – like this is totally unnecessary!!! There happened to be a good reason for it – the logging statement was doing some heavy string interpolation which means that statement was going to run all the necessary string formatting, then it was going to call the log method, and then once inside that log method it would all get thrown away, which points to potentially expensive operations that are being done for nothing. There may be times when relying on your log output level may not be enough to save you from some expensive tasks even though you might think otherwise.
