Sequoia view is incredibly useful for finding more space on hard drives and finding big files to delete that you don't use. Its also amazing for trying to find big video porn files that are hidding in 7 subfolders. C:\windows32\win\drivers\microsoft\not\stoplooking\notinhere\notporn\porn.avi

oh but seriously I posted:Anyone ever bought shareware? I never did. I don't know if it's shareware since it's actually just a demo, but I bought Halo: Combat Evolved because I loved playing the free one so much. But somehow the multiplayer on that was worse, so I just went back to playing the demo version.

Just turn it into a DRM free PDF in a matter of minutes I'm gonna hurl Bulk Rename Utility into the ring. It does exactly what the name says, and I use it regularly to add prefixes or suffixes and find/replace bits (like changing underscores to spaces) in filenames. The UI's kind of ridiculous, but you'll probably only need to use a couple of the options.

Some electronic music/synthesis software i like: - nanoloop: https://nanoloop.com/ A minimalistic sequencer with a sampler. It is simple enough to use that i open it on my phone for a few minutes each day and keep messing around with whatever tracks i have on there. Makes some neat, varied music. - Pure Data: https://puredata.info/ A graphical programming environment for making music. Easy-to-use software, and has a nice helpful community too. - Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org/ I use this from time to time for audio editing, and it is always nice to have at hand. Not many people know that you can also use it to glitch image files in cool ways.

I legitimately love the Paint 3D program that comes with Windows 10 because its Smart Select feature is so easy to use. Compared to something like GIMP's Smart Scissors it's night and day how easy it is to select what you want cut out, and the procedurally generated background it leaves behind can be a little wonky sometimes but it's usually more than adequate if you just need a blank space to place something else in it for memes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thQ0mCZ8c44 Jose Oquendo posted:MacOS does this now. I think Win10 does too, doesn't it? Yeah, every desktop and mobile operating system has some sort of day light/night light function built into it and people who install f.lux seem to mostly be doing so out of inertia since its been around since the Bush administration. Same with clipboard managers, I used to install Ditto every time I set up a new computer and now you can just hit Windows key+V and bring up a clipboard. Pick posted:Calibre for ebooks.

It has browser extensions you can install so you can right-click>Upload with ShareX any image online and it will upload a copy to your image host of choice and even automatically copy the embed link so you can paste it into a thread.

Cool Edit Pro 2.1 The software is over 25 years old but I still use it in nearly all my songs at some point. It's a destructive-processing sound editor with a multitrack and a music-sheet style sequencer. However, there are practically no limits hard-programmed in the effects and audio options so you can put in very large, very small, or negative numbers into things that don't normally accept such values and get very interesting results. This also makes it very easy to crash the program, but reload it back up and you'll be back to exactly what you were doing. One of my favourite things that I found out was that you can create rhythmic slices of a sample that keep changing slowly over time by going into the sound-stretcher and putting in a rational value less than 1 but with a repeating digit in the decimal place (i.e. 0.33333333333333). The result makes really amazing percussive sounds or entire loops that I can work around with in other software. Adobe bought out the company and made it into Adobe Audition in the 2000's, but they removed a lot of the effects (Midi processing, vst support, FLT filters, DirectX effects, clip grouping, Dynamic EQ, Stereo Expander, Echo Chamber, Convolution, Scientific filters etc), audio codecs and experimental options from Cool Edit and made it suck. Older is definitely better in this respect. It's poo poo, but good poo poo if that makes any sense. Entorwellian fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Apr 23, 2020 |
