Some time ago i told you about awesome Vortex Race III
keyboard. During the last month of my workflows i’ve noticed that desperately feel the lack of numpad and other extended keys, which are common for full sized keyboards. After not so long thinking i’ve decided to switch keyboard.
Yesterday i’ve received full-sized, but still compact Vortex TAB90M
keyboard, based around the same Cherry Blue MX switches. Build quality is rock solid.
Have you ever heard about digital audio workstation written in assembly language?
Yeah, that’s SAW Studio
.
32-bit version can be launched even in “obsolete” Windows XP.
64-bit version released in 2019 is Windows 7/Windows 10 compatible.

Today i want to share my custom made 80s theme for Renoise tracker.
RENOISE `84 [v0.4b]
GRAB IT FROM MEGA.NZ
To install it just double click on downloaded XRNC files. Renoise will launch and install theme automatically.
Also, i’ve figured out how to change internal font and set custom mouse cursor. Tracker doesn’t provide GUI for such options. All settings related to current skin could be found here:
There are plenty of digital audio workstation software available today.
Fruity Loops, Apple Logic, Cakewalk….
but what make them so unimportant anymore?
It is pretty strange that i didn’t cover this topic in previous posts. So, i stand corrected and posting it now!
@ FIRST: WHAT IS DEMOSCENE?
In this quick breakdown i’ll point to the most coolest demoscene stuff out there.
▓ IBM PC [DOS/WIN] In early 90s finnish coders from Future Crew
brought phenomenon of demoscene to masses.
FUTURE CREW - SECOND REALITY [1993] Demo size: 2Mb Demo page
The Black Lotus
are Swedish Atari/Amiga hackers.
I recommend you to use alternative search engines like Searx.me
or Duckduckgo
not because g is mining your data and then resells it to marketing agencies for targeted ads, but because if you say something restricted or will be “lucky” to be banned by their anti-spam bot you can lose access to your data forever.
Three years ago i had YT channel with tracker music
where i posted stuff almost daily, also i had trackers database
hosted on their blogger platform.
Like leaksters say Radeon 6950XT refresh will bring new 18Gbbs memory sub-system and 8-10% to performance
. I’ve decided not to involve myself into GPU race and stick with plain 6900XT. It is a performance banger under Windows 7 environment. Imagery by spacedrone808

With declining support of Windows 7 it looks like that game hacking scene is disappearing also. Saying so because of disbandment of famous cracking group CODEX. SOURCE

Previously
i already wrote about Chinese audio manufacturers and their quality products. Till today i used quad driver FiiO FA7
earphones powered by my trusty cameraphone Nokia PureView 808
.
After some not so long considerations i’ve decided to try out something new with bigger puch and almost randomy selected Shanling M6
DAP paired with FiiO FA9
6-driver IEMs. I know that using Nokia 808 was quite limiting factor for quad driver earphones like FiiO FA7.
I already wrote about Neutron player
.
Provided information will be useful if you are using Neutron with high resolution digital audio player [DAP] and would to like
squeeze a bit more of that quality.
Here is a list of the most important settings to maximaze your audio output to the boundaries of existence.
If you are interested in vintage computers like Amiga, Commodore, Atari and would like to learn classic technical English i advice you Dan Wood unambiguously.

Just a quick note to share high-quality Android audio player with all of you. Software is developed for hi-res hardware digital audio players like FiiO, Shanling, iBasso. The most important feature is bit-perfect OS independent decoding and audio processing.
Speaking about bright sides of application: precise audio reproduction, loads of professional tools.
However, there is one notable downside: user interface and ergonomics are very confusing to say the least.
I bet some of you are already tired of ugly g monopoly with their telemetric data mining platform os-called operating system. As for me, i fixed myself on Android 8.0, last operating system without support of neural networks. These nets help to fingerprint your personal data and send it to marketing companies later on. I’m pretty sure that people in sane condition will not like such behaviour at all.
Pinephone is based around Linux and not android, it doesn’t track or profile you.
Finally, I’ve managed to finish my retro DOS/Windows 98 build machine based on powerul Athlon. By finish i mean assemble parts on the table without any case. Why no case? Answer is simple: i’m lazy. And it is more convenient to me to keep it as open testbed for weirdo experiments of my own.
Collecting items took almost four months to accomplish this project. Puter consists of multitude parts, which were acquired around the globe.
A small note on how to make things rollin'.
Default configuration of Keenetic Ultra makes XZ1 Compact to stuck in a loop during authorization process. If you can’t pair your XZ1 to 5Ghz WiFi network just switch router network to channel:
56 And you are good to go. Yeah, simple as that. See you around!
