#LinuxAudio for musicians be like:

Aaah I found this cool sound in my #Waldorf #Rocket #Synthesizer, it uses the #Arpeggiator.

Now I want to try a beat with it. Oh there is #Hydrogen #DrumSampler on my #Linux system!

Oh *beep*, most drum kits don't work and I don't know why but I don't wont to figure that out now.

Managed to patch Hydrogen MIDI to my outboard synthesizer. Now how to send MIDI Clock? Oh Hydrogen cannot send MIDI clock.

I need jack_midi_clock to get MIDI Clock from the general Jack Transport. Installing.

Okay now I'm in GMIDImonitor to find out the jack_midi_clock does not send any MIDI Clock, at least not on my system of #Pipewire + #Jack. Or perhaps it does but I can't see, since the synth's arpeggiator stops when transport plays and continues playing when transport stops.

This is getting weird.

Now I have lost my idea for the drum pattern, so I'm giving up on making music for today. Time is very limited anyways.

There was a recent link here about #lead in toothpaste. I was concerned about a particular one #Jack&Jill #toothpaste and contacted the company about it. They just sent me a report 👇🏽
(I have no way of checking this, but at least they replied)

A Tale of Two Shitties... [1]

I've always done my own seasonal tire changes on my vehicle and my partner's as well. When I first started many years ago, I bought a cheapie 2-ton trolley #jack from Princess Auto - USAnians can substitute "Harbor Freight" and the story will be essentially the same.

But I replaced my vehicle a year and a half ago. The new one rides a little higher off the ground, and has the massive #wheels and #tires that have become the de facto standard, and my old jack didn't lift high enough to change the wheels on the new vehicle. Being the better part of 20 years newer, the new vehicle is also a lot heavier.

So I bought a larger 3-ton trolley jack, with a higher lift height. It's even a real name brand, #Torin. [2]

So anyways... I went to take the snow tires off on the weekend, and the new jack had #leaked, and won't lift properly. So it's sprung an o-ring or other #seal, after only using it 3 times (I think). The 20-year-old Princess Auto special is still fine. They sit next to each other in the garage, so it's not storage conditions.

Winner: Princess Auto.

Then, while changing tires, one lug #nut was #seized. Got out a decent sized breaker bar, and a 1/2" to 3/8" socket drive adapter from Princess Auto - their "pro" "Pro Point" line, yet - put my back into it, and #sheared the damn adapter off.

#Craptastic!

[1] Couldn't resist, sorry. [3]
[2] I didn't say it was a great name brand.
[3] Not sorry.
