I love sound engineering and design as a whole. Music production was what got me into it. It’s still mind boggling to me how much you can do with a simple sine wave and process it into essentially unlimited amounts of various sounds.

I never knew a thing about music theory, synthesizers, drum machines, etc. Almost 7 years down this path and I’m still learning as I go and just as curious as when I first started.

Seeing different instruments through an oscilloscope or watching the different frequencies dance as a whole on an EQ plugin is my favorite.

I think it could go both ways. Another commenter mentioned the younger generation being used to things just working. You pull it out of the box, power on, good to go. When it comes to troubleshooting, that’s where they seem to fall behind.

On a other note, I have a friend that is the same age as me, grew up with pretty similar upbringing. He’s the type that if it doesn’t work then it’s not worth using. Couldn’t get a Bluetooth speaker to connect to a computer so he got frustrated and played without sound.

I think it will really just depend on what that specific person was exposed to. Admittedly, there has been a few times I got confused at a card reader. I’m used to swiping or inserting the chip. Some card readers are the touch and go and it took me a few minutes to realize it was scan and go.

They have a certain appeal to them. I’d love to try one out though and see how it appeals to me. Main thing that keeps me from getting one, is that I work in construction. Dust and debris getting inside the screen, then me closing it is just asking for scratches. Would a screen protector even be viable with the crease being in the middle?

Old school flip phones were feasible for situations like mine. But I’m not going back to T9 texting lol.

I’d prefer to just eat them. I’ve been hungry for too long now.

As someone who lives here, I have more and more desire to leave.

I could agree to this. YouTube definitely shouldn’t be doing their copyright bullshit for shit like this. Cop knows exactly what he’s doing. Prick.

On another note, you could probably use some audio software to remove the audio altogether, attempt to separate the music and the vocals from the cop and people talking. Remove the song, reapply the audio to the video and upload. I’ve done it before but the quality never came out as good in the end. Pain in the ass but there’s definitely ways around this.

Understandable. And that’s not a bad deal, pretty cheap. YouTube UI is not bad at all either. I preferred New Pipe because I didn’t have to pay for it lol

I’d say so. Considering both are free. And it’s not YouTube. Yes it’s using the front ends to YouTube, but I only need to use one app. Jerboa would be considered an alternative to Connect, would it not?

I just don’t see a point either in paying YouTube subscription to use extra features and not have ads, when New Pipe and Freetube both do that without extra steps.

New Pipe and Freetube are great free alternatives to YouTube.

Connect here too. Jerboa kept crashing on me. When it did load it couldn’t connect. When it could connect it wouldn’t load in icons and left some posts blank.
