#AUDACITY

[bearfoottruck]

Actually, I have an interesting alternative to YouTube to MP3 converters: Use a program such as Audacity, set it to record sound off your computer and record the song that way. However, you have to be careful with this method because it will record every other sound that your PC plays, and if you play even a single background sound, that will get indelibly burned into the song and you'll have to start all over again. Still, it's handy for evading any Internet trackers.

remember percy said boys and girls arent allowed to be alone in the same cabin? it makes me cackle that rule exclusively applies to only boys & girls when chiron literally taught achilles & patroclus in early chb and apparently it still never crossed his mind that one thing homosexuals sure have is audacity

C'mon BBC, Universal, etc. Dr. "Amazing Grace" Holloway didn't go to see Madame Butterfly live, got paged because she was on call, and run down the hallway in slow motion to "Un Bel Di" whilst wearing her electric blue ballgown on December 30, 1999 for her to be excluded from the Puccini episode in the upcoming Eight boxset.

Conservatives on dating apps are really going:

“Honey I know you’re left wing, and I would hate and fight with all your friends, and we disagree strongly about social issues that are important to you, but I’m willing to overlook that.

But if you don’t want to date will you at least join me in a hotel so we can bone?”

one of my favourite youtubers has to be Martin ‘Tantacrul’ Keary. an extremely impressive man with an extremely impressive CV and an extremely impressive job and he spends his offhours making videos that descend into eldritch nightmare gore. and now he’s the lead designer of Audacity

tantacrul: i made a video where Shostakovich vomits a torrent of blood on your ugly software

MuseGroup: excellent. would you like to be in charge of it. and we’re also buying audacity and making you the boss of that too

I have a dream, I have a vision, I have a mission, I have to do something, I will do this at this time; the thoughts of everybody; how do I deal with that obstacle? how do I get there? ; troubling questions for everybody! Releasing ourselves, plugging into the purpose, challenging the challenges, questioning the unquestionable, taking the chances; the asset and audacity of somebody. Everybody has a dream but, it is somebody who gets to the dream.

Something that's been on my mind for a while is that a lot of artists have been struggling to find programs that work with their budgets. Adobe's prices are... infamous, to say the least, and there seems to be a sharp learning curve for the more affordable options. And if you're like me, you might not feel comfortable with pirating to get an art program that is out of your price range. So here's a list of free art/editing tools. Any options without links are either mobile apps or can only be downloaded on Macs: Options without ads or watermarks:

FireAlpaca (notes: while this is an art program at heart, it can also be used as basic photo editing software once you get the hang of it. There is also a blog dedicated to tutorials on how to use FA in case you get stuck)

Medibang (note: the aforementioned FireAlpaca blog has some information on this software as well)

Krita (note: also available as an app for android and Google devices)

Storyboarder (notes: not to be confused with "Storyboarder.AI". While this program does require your email address before downloading, it is safe to use as far as I know (but please use caution regardless))

Pixilart (notes: link leads to browser version, also available as a mobile app)

Audacity (notes: apparently, the company behind this software, Muse Group, have also created a separate, subscription-based AI-voice program. I am unsure if it uses AI in a way that is generally considered to be ethical, like SynthV does, or if it follows the trends typically expected of those kinds of applications. The reason that I include this information is that I want to give everyone the ability to make an informed decision about whether or not they want to use anything from Muse Group, as I know many users on this site are anti-AI. However, I also know that some of those users wouldn't mind using Audacity since downloading it wouldn't be giving Muse Group monetary support - hence why the program is staying on the list.)

Clipchamp (notes: there are also paid tiers for this program. It is also available in-browser and as an iOS app. Furthermore, please be aware that there are some optional features that use AI)

iMovie (note: also available as a mobile app on iOS devices)

DramaQueen (notes: this is a software used to write scripts for plays, movies, etc. While it does require you to fill out some information before downloading, as far as I am aware, it is safe to use (but as always, use your own discretion))

Options that do have ads, watermarks, or microtransactions

ibisPaint X

Sketchbook (notes: formerly known as "Autodesk Sketchbook". PC and Mac versions do exist, but you have to pay to download them)

Medibang Paint

Capcut (note: has optional AI tools).

Be sure to check what system requirements are necessary for each program, and be aware of their limitations before downloading (for example, many users report Clipchamp has a tendency to crash, while others seem to be able to use it fine). Also, please feel free to add on to this. I know I haven't even scratched the surface here, as I tried to stick to software that I've either heard of extensively or have used personally.
