Love what OP has created and is releasing free (thank you!)

Did want to point out some other cheap/free bitcrushers out there for people to try (in addition to MAIM)

https://www.deniseaudio.com/plugins/my-crush is currently free with newsletter sub and was super cheap when I first purchased it.

Some other free vst of note https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2012/03/09/bpb-freeware-stu...

If only there was something you could keep in your apartment that consumes CO2...

While I'd like that to be true, I'm skeptical of that outcome from streaming normalization alone.

All I see in production forums is how can I make my mix louder?

You can blow by Spotify's lufs recommendation, the normalizing just knocks you down, thereby squashing your mix further (even less dynamic range)

They should nickname this "clone-a-tone"
Glitch musicians would like a word.

Maybe you mean digital. As electronic toys can still be modified/screwed with.

Re:Ask HN: How to remove voice from a music file? on Wednesday October 30, 2019 @05:22PM (#21402904)
It can do a pretty impressive job, it does help to use high quality source material. Using mp3 rips from youtube might get a little more artifact-y. sometimes, vocal like instruments will get pulled into the vocal rip instead of the "karaoke" instrument part of the extract.

Re:The Organ of the Universe: On Living with Tinnitus on Tuesday November 21, 2017 @05:22PM (#15752175)
wait, what's the ATA warning about tinnitracks? On the surface seems like a good idea to me... but couldn't find reference to it good or bad on the ATA site.
what about Zopfli/brotli?

Gzip compression benefits taper off in benefit after the "7" setting, IIRC. Brotli at higher settings compresses better, but you'd want to do it static as opposed to on the fly (at higher/highest settings)

Many of these recommendations are at odds with HTTP/2 recommendations, practices.

Re:Show HN: CloudRail – API Integration Solution on Friday October 14, 2016 @02:13PM (#12710025)
Any plans to add reddit's API under the social category?
There is still a need for a ucache (in addition to built in opcode cache)... although a lot of high traffic WP sites are turning to redis over memcache for this.
Re:Wait ages for a bus and then two come along at once on Tuesday March 03, 2015 @02:22PM (#9139954)
At least with SF Muni the bunching of busses issue is more human/contractual/process related.

When the bus runs late (because stuff happens) and thereby completes it's route late and turns around, and is basically right up against the "next" bus... they send them both out BECAUSE the thought of paying a muni worker to wait for 10 minutes to create a sane space between busses is unthinkable in a penny wise, results foolish budgeting process.
