  • Back on in 2003 Adobe bought the freeware software called CoolEdit 2.0 and republished it as a paid product as Adobe Audition without changing a god damn thing.

    CoolEdit was too good to be true. It’s only fair that the developers got paid, but I just wish they didn’t have to sell out to Adobe of all companies.

    I hope this 2026 version of Audacity will finally be on level with what we had for free in year 2000.


  • Audacity is like a tape recording studio. It doesn’t support midi programming and VSTi as far as I know.

    Everything is a DAW if you’re brave enough, and there’s no strict definition, but for something to be a full DAW, it should have both recording and virtual instruments IMO.

    As of now, there’s very few free ones that does both and Reaper beats all of them as the cheapest paid option. However Reaper doesn’t do everything. Some paid DAWs still have features that Reaper doesn’t.


  • Not really. I’m not rich, and don’t have any particular savings, but I have plenty of everything.

    More importantly, it’s not at risk.

    If I should lose my job, I have an income insurance that is pretty damn good, so I could go unemployed for about 2 years before having to lower my expenses. If it should go that far that I run out of insurance, I would still get like 80% of my salary as social security. This would be manageable, so there’s no risk at all that I ever become homeless.

    So sure, things are expensive and I don’t have any chances of suddenly becoming rich or buying everything out of the blue, but I’m not concerned about the next paycheck.





  • One of the things that this project is testing is how the foundations are made. They do not have to clear the trees to dig and level out the area to fill in loads of gravel just to make a concrete pour. They are somehow able to make the foundations around existing structures like trees and on somewhat uneven ground.
