MIXLINE Review: Audio Mixing Made Easy

I’ve been loving MIXLINE so far. With a variety of audio devices and programs at my disposal, this software has simplified my audio management significantly. The layout is super simple and easy to use, making the process of audio routing, mixing, and streaming much less painful. The amount of audio devices I use Overview MIXLINE is an audio mixing software designed to streamline the complex…

Discovering the Power of Reaper: My Go-To DAW for Music Production

In the expansive world of digital audio workstations (DAWs), Reaper stands out not just for its robust features and affordability but as my DAW of choice for all my music production needs. From the intricate beats crafted for the Garlic Farm project to the diverse soundscapes explored in my other works, Reaper has been an indispensable tool in my creative arsenal. Here’s why Reaper has earned its…

technically the double-ended cable is still digital -> analogue -> digital (it has to be), but a good enough sound card will have a good enough DAC and ADC built in.

to keep it digital the whole way, you simply make the double-ended cable a virtual cable.

you lie to you computer, saying one end of the virtual cable is speakers and the other end is a microphone same as on the physical. for most people this can be achieved through something like voicemeeter (or natively using a software patchbay if you're on linux and have JACK or pipewire).

for people using external audio interfaces (you may do this if you have a fancy mic or speakers), your interface may also support internal wiring of a fake cable (might be called loopback).

these are all iterations on the same basic idea - an idea that is actually used in music studios when combining proper hardware rack gear and a computer (I have seen audio ran out onto an external preamp and compressor combo and recorded back in so many times) - but the tape approach demonstrates the idea well and remains easy to replicate. it's also the most aesthetically cyberpunk even if they all achieve the same effect

Out of Context Stuff for a Danyal Al Ghul au i haven't posted - Pit Beast Danyal

Damian, 13: Look, Danyal, -- I am so sorry for everything that happened between us in the League, I hope you can forgive me.

Danny, 10 (allegedly): (has been secretly plotting to murder Damian this whole time, is still gonna do it obvs, but is going to make it significantly less painful now)

Danny: I-- of course, older brother. :]

--------

Bruce: what do you have there, Damian?

Damian:

Danny: (a hulking 10ft pit beast standing beside him, growling idly with ram horns gouging out his eyes and a second set of horns jutting into the air, spines down his back, and a long, spiked tail with an animalistic, skull-like face)

Damian, who smuggled him in (they've made amends): a smoothie, father

----------

Damian: this is my little brother Danyal, i murdered him when he was five. He festered in rage for the last half-a decade, took over a League mountain base in Switzerland, murdered everyone inside and then tried to murder me when I went to investigate with Drake.

Danny: hello!

Damian: we're cool now

----------

Damian: thoughts on resurrection

Danny, (a full ghost): i will succeed in murdering you if you try it

Damian: we'll put a pin in it then

----------

Danny (still instilled with League values): why don't we just murder him??

Damian, on patrol (Danny followed him): we don't murder people, Danyal

Danyal:,,,,are you sick, Dami?? Have you been possessed? Why not!?

(There is raucous laughing through the comms)

----------

Danny, five, pre-death: Dami! :D

Danny, dead, vengeful: Older brother (:

Danny, post-forgiveness: Dami! :]

-------

For some actual context: Danny is fully dead in this au, its a result of the classic DPxDC Demon Twins "death duel" trope but instead of Danny getting revived, he stays fully dead. Danny was five, Damian was seven. His ghost lingered though, and due to the proximity of the pits his ghost steadily absorbed the ambient energy it was letting off. The pits are not corrupted ectoplasm in this au, it's just liquid ecto.

Which means Danny's corruption from an angry and hurt little ghost boy to an unrecognizable monster is from his own doing. It's a result of him stewing in his hurt and anger for years, it physically warped him. He's very powerful. Danny can travel between League Bases but chose a small, out-of-the-way base in the Swiss mountains to fester in and then just. Never Left.

His influence steeped into the very foundations of the building, allowing him to transform and warp the rooms and hallways for his own bidding, Meaning he could turn it into a seemingly unending labyrinth if he so wished to, and block the entrance.

Eventually, blinded (both metaphorically and physically) by his own rage, Danny grew powerful enough to appear physically in the living realm and attacked everyone in the base, slaughtering them all and leaving the base abandoned. He attacks anyone who dares enter -- whether that be other league members, or the unfortunate hiker who stumbled across the base. His conscious is steeped into every nook and cranny of the building, there is nowhere you can hide where he can't find. Nobody leaves without his explicit say so. Nobody ever does.

Him appearing as ten years old before Damian in the skits above is his own physical doing. First it was to prevent Damian from being suspicious of him. Damian initially thought Danny was revived with the pits, he was too busy with his own training afterwards to notice that Danny never showed up again, and when he did notice, he assumed it was because Danny was too ashamed of his loss to face him. He'd always forget to ask about him.

Then it becomes a personal choice to appear as ten. It's how old he would've been had he been alive.

danny forgiving Damian is kinda for an offshoot branch of the main au. Whereas the main au takes the form of a ps4 first person horror game where Damian and Tim are investigating the Base for Plot Reasons. There's no sign of the rumored "monster" living inside until the end, where Danny, who was found inside the Base and has been happily "helping" them look around, manages to persuade Damian into splitting off from Tim in order to "show him something."

This something turns out to be Danny revealing that he never really forgave Damian for that fight, and he reveals through a horrifying transformation, that he was the monster the whole time. Which the game subtly hints at throughout as Danny's strange behavior becomes harder to ignore.

First from his insistence to only refer to Damian as "older brother" (when before the duel he always called him Damian or Dami), to him right off the bat denying the existence of a monster when questioned. ("There's no monster here, older brother. It's just me.") To other various things, like his knowledge of the outside world not matching up to modern times or things going on with the league outside of the base, or what happened to the other league members.

This whole idea was inspired by the song "Scylla" from Epic the Musical, with Danyal being the voice of Scylla as well as Odysseus, while Damian stands as Eurylochus. The instrumentals after Scylla says "hello" is him turning into the pit beast, and Scylla's "drown in your sorrow and fears" part is danny, as the pit beast, snarling at Damian while he attacks him.

There's a Good Ending, a Bad Ending, and a True Ending. The Bad Ending results in Damian being killed by Danny, it happens when Damian decides not to question or suspect Danny and treats him kindly. The Bad Ending is a cutscene, where Danny kills Damian quick and painlessly.

Meanwhile the Good Ending is Damian killing Danny. This is a boss fight, and it happens when Damian treats Danny coldly and suspiciously the whole time. Danny as a result, decides to make Damian's death painful as he had planned to, which is why it's a boss fight because it only causes him to double down on his anger.

The True Ending is Damian escapes with Tim. It happens when you treat Danny warmly up until the last minute, where when Danny proposes to Damian that he wants to show him something, Damian goes to talk to Tim and finally, reluctantly agrees that something is off with Danny, and that he'll be careful going in. It starts off with the boss fight until a third through, where it then changes to a cutscene where Tim manages to get the door open and Damian escapes out. It's then a chase scene down a never-ending hallway as the building actively works to keep you trapped inside. But you eventually make it to the exit so long as you avoid all the projectiles and doors.

Remember when I mentioned that Danny only lets people leave when he wants them to? That's where the treating Danny kindly throughout the game comes into play. It causes him to second guess himself and, eventually, reawaken and strengthen the love and admiration he had for Damian prior to his murder. It's why in the Bad Ending he kills Damian quickly -- because by then, he loves him enough that he doesn't want him to suffer, but is still so consumed by his rage and need for vengeance that he kills him anyways. That quiet part is what allows Damian (and Tim) to find the exit, because some part of Danny still loves Damian enough that he wants him to live.

The True Ending ends with a cutscene of Damian and Tim tumbling out into the snow/grass outside of the base. Damian looks up back to the entrance to see Danny standing there. But rather than a ten year old boy, there's a little five year old Danyal Al Ghul instead. He stares at Damian emotionlessly, blood seeping from his chest, staining his clothes, and little, bloody sword in his hands and tearstains on his cheeks, before he turns away and disappears back into the building.

RIP Christopher Benjamin (27.12.1934 - 15.1.2025)

"That was another reason, in a way, that I decided to give [stage acting] up, because I was getting a bit - a bit dicey with the lines. People sort of wrote down, quite often, the things I said... instead of the things I should have said. They were known as my bloopers: 'Benjamin bloopers'. Some of my inventions were very good, I must admit. My feeling was, if I dried, I had to say something - and so that something was something that amused the rest of the cast considerably, quite often."

Had an awful night at work tonight, decided to channel it into this dub of Reclusa's defeat from my and @art-tea-chill's Medusa Route AU. Was so damn cathartic to voice, and the editing process was quick and surprisingly fun. Hope y'all enjoy!! (And ye I defo plan to do more voicework related to Reclusa in the future. His voice is so fun to do.)

Transcript under the cut

Xavier: Y/N, Did you not go home last night?

Y/N: Wow, how did you know?

Xavier: I saw a flier by your door last night, and this morning I saw it was still there.

Y/N: Oh... Did you need me?

Xavier: No, I was just passing by.

Y/N: Passing by?

Xavier: The elevator broke down last night, so I used the stairs.

Y/N: My apartment isn't by the stairs though...

Xavier: ...I pass by while taking a detour.

Y/N: All right, tell me! What did you need me for?

Xavier: I'm unaccustomed to not hearing you go downstairs for the past two days.

Y/N: If you say it like that... I'll have to assume you miss me.

Xavier: ...

Xavier: sure.

Xavier: What about you? You didn't come back last night, right? Something happened?

Y/N: Sight... The only explanation there ever will be is that I had a mission.

Xavier: Oh...

Y/N: Yeah, so can you remove the flier for me? I heard some burglars mark their targets using one.

Xavier: I removed it when I saw it earlier.

Y/N: Looks like you know a thing or two about safety.

Xavier: Smoked salmon, hamburger, lobster tail, mashed potatoes...

Y/N: Are you ordering food?

Xavier: I'm reading the flier.

Xavier: A new restaurant opened nearby. it looks pretty good.

Y/N: I haven't eaten anything since lunch yesterday! Please don't torture me like this.

Xavier: Grilled chicken, steak and fries, tuna tartare...

Y/N: Please stop. I'm begging you...

Xavier: Where are you right now?

Y/N: In the suburbs, a place with a surprising amount of Wanderers. I don't know how long it'll take before I'm done...

Xavier: Fifteen minutes.

Y/N: You have too much faith in me!

Xavier: If I go find you now, it'll only take fifteen minutes.

Xavier: And about an hour later, we'll be able to eat at this restaurant.

Y/N: Why are you suddenly so motivated...?

Xavier: ...I'm just passing by.

Y/N: Fine, you're just passing by.
