The lifespan of electronics is seldom > 13 years—even if stored & unused. I’ve come up with 2 strategies for myself to reduce costs/waste with music equipment.

1. Software is cheaper than hardware, & companies often allow you to install from an old machine to a new machine. Focus on software tools! Computers are more repairable than other audio hardware.

2. Modularize your studio with lots of inexpensive hardware, rather than a single expensive device.

I happened upon an article about the degradation of electronics. It seems, based upon what I read, that electronics — especially those electronics with electrolytic capacitors on the board, have a finite shelf life, whether you use the device or not.

This news is quite sobering, considering the amount of equipment I’ve had in storage for the last 20 years.

OK, I've traced it back, and 1.15.0 is what breaks Benben when both of these conditions are true: CRYSTAL_WORKERS is 4 or less, and the remote control feature is active. When these are true, then Benben will stutter really badly, to the point that it's not listenable at all.

Open ticket, with workaround information:

Normally Benben modifies
CRYSTAL_WORKERS in fun main before the Crystal runtime is initialized, so this doesn't matter. But apparently the Crystal devs changed the way the runtime works and so workaround doesn't work anymore.

@markus Although you're certainly right that it will take a couple of years before #linuxaudio will be on par with macOS or Windows, my Linux based #musicproduction setup is already more than capable, comfortable and enjoyable enough for me personally, even unrivaled in certain areas.
And while the #linuxdesktop experience is getting even better on a regular basis, I'll get the gift of welcoming new vendors to #linux and enjoying new Linux toys (not only for my music production) regularly. 🥳

On #linux, do you prefer to install audio #plugin (s) manually, with a graphical installer or with an install.sh shell script?
Personally, I like shell script installers, I don't mind installing manually either, whereas I really don't like graphical installers.
One thing I'm really glad though is that on Linux we don't have those horrible "download and install applications" the big plugin vendors are sporting on macOS and Windows. 🫣

But, what if someone created a template that everyone could use? What if all a SFZ creator had to do was append this template to the top of the SFZ text file that the instrument creator defined? What if this template not only made the SFZ instrument MIDI CC capabile, but also provided GUI controls to the Sforzando or Sfizz plugin? Wouldn't this make SFZ more expressive?
