To make anyone of you go ballistic on how bad this currently looks, put it into context to what current-gen Qualcomm smartphones are doing:
https://www.theverge.com/22811740/qualcomm-snapdragon-8-gen-1-always-on-camera-privacy-security-concerns
A phone that calls home on hardware level with always-on mic AND cameras and the ability to analyze that data using the inbuilt NPU (Neural Processing Unit)? Oh boy, do I feel safer now.

Something that has been brewing in the last few weeks...

This is a (bass/guitar-focused) Amp Model Player audio plugin, basically it loads AI trained models to realistically simulate an audio effect (amp, cab, dist, drive, fuzz, boost and eq).
Available as AU/CLAP/LV2/VST2/VST3 and Standalone.
Done in partnership with AIDA-DSP and MOD Audio.
Enjoy!
I realize I should have said more details about it, let me reedit and repost, sorry!

In case you didn't know, I am integrating my carla plugin host into OBS, so we can load all sorts of audio plugins directly in it.
my intention is to reuse Carla components as much as possible, both improving Carla and getting a very welcome feature into OBS at the same time.
it is progressing going quite well, with already stuff to show.
still a fair bit of things to do too but I am hopeful to get it into shape very soon! 🐎
see https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/discussions/5074 for more details

New in the Rolling Release: We've introduced master_me (a free and open-source audio post-processing tool) support as a first-class option in our web UI.
We've reworked our entire Post-Processing section of the station profile form to better explain what it does, to add more flexibility about where it applies, and to let you choose from several handy presets. If StereoTool is installed, you will also see it here and have the option to use it, but master_me will ship with all AzuraCast installs.
A little update on that AI model player project made together with Aida DSP folks:
https://github.com/AidaDSP/AIDA-X/releases/tag/0.2.0
As in, an update with some fixes and loading more model types.
Give it some testing if you can, you can find premade models and other resources in https://forum.mod.audio/c/neural/62
Just a few more days and we will tag 1.0. There is some promotional video stuff happening at the same time, to try to make it a splashy release 🎆 🎇 ❇️ ✨
A slightly better showcase.. picking and loading plugins works now 😎

This joke is from 1974 (in *Computer Lib*). It only took 50 years to build.
coming soon to your favorite streaming software...
or at least I hope so. initial tests are good, still a lot of integration to do.

Incredible! The thing is incredible! Finally a guitar plugin I can load confidently on Linux, sounds AMAZING out of the box, has all the flexibility anyone would wish for and rooms to grow.
It's Amazing, thank you so much for sharing this.
I haven't picked up the guitar since... since months I have felt the urge to go for it and had a good hour run at it.
I'm enjoying it so much...

oh and there is an online version of it in https://mod.audio/aida-x-online/ if you want to try it out without installing.
wont load properly on phones, due to limited screen size, will deal with that later
The teased plugin has its first release, AIDA-X 0.1.0 is out! 🎉
See https://github.com/AidaDSP/AIDA-X
This is an "Amp Model Player leveraging AI", basically a loader for AI trained models that simulate any combination of amp, cab, dist, drive, fuzz, boost and eq,
It is a joint effort between me, MOD and Aida DSP folks.
You can find related resources in https://forum.mod.audio/c/neural/62 where we hope to create a hub for discussing, sharing and everything related to AIDA-X and AI models.

🍄 Missed your jump over the mushroom?
🔫 Splatted next to your target?
🚧 Drifted your kart outside the track?
This shall happen no more!
We contacted Nintendo to address the recurring problem with defective Switch controllers and they agreed to offer all consumers the right to repair, free of charge, even beyond the legal guarantee!
This will prevent the disposal of unrepaired controllers and unnecessary waste.
For testing reasons I needed to get Qt installed on Windows. damn the experience is shocking...
From qt.io/download I was unable to find a way to just download the damn installer 😡
Needed to go on DDG to look up for it..
Then the installer wants you to login before starting any installation. wtf?? I downloaded this from qt.io/offline-installers what is offline about this???
After disconnecting from the internet I can finally install.
Qt is not cute anymore, it is just so disappointing! 😞
