A real LTC timecode signal. It was designed to be recorded on tape and used to sync multiple tape machines together among other uses.

Did a similar thing too with a sample of a single square pulse which allowed us to "sequence" a Juno 60 arpeggiator.

Sorry, yes it was MTC, not LTC!

We used JJOS. It is such an awesome upgrade over the stock OS.

We once had an AKAI MPC1000 running as a master for a "big studio" ProTools rig using LTC. Good times.

There are some DJs who lug their own Pioneer controllers with them. Precisely because they can make sure that their library will work! No other reason.

Truly terrible platform. I engineer DJ events and every single time there will be someone who had used either too new or too old version of rekordbox for the model of CDJ/controller the venue got in. This is seemingly random and totally undocumented. If I had hair I would have torn them out long time ago.

In the same boat here. At least still have a good standing at Microft. Lost goodwill at big G by what I vaguely narrowed down to self hosted images in e-mail signature.

And obligatory one for Slovakia with much better UX.

And Polish one, still a gen or two behind just like their rail network. It needs to be said they are investing heavily to bring it up to scratch.

In overlays that need to be explicitly enabled. Not as convenient as yay yolo.

We can also add npm to package.mask.

After going through most of the rest I settled on Elisa as a good amalgam if winamp and itunes UX. I didn't realise it is obscure judging by no mention of it here.

I would not be so sure with the 100%. France had a mutual defence treaty with Czechoslovakia in 1938. They not only chose not to honor it but U turned all the way and explicitly let Hitler occupy it.

Would you trust them in crunch time mere 90 years later?

Just to note that this site hasn't been updated for a while.

Much better, more modern and with automated upload analysis site would be [1] although it is designed for finding the highest fidelity resampler rather than AB comparisons.
