PRR – a terminal tool for managing Pull Requests on GitHub
Pulsemixer is the one I love. It's a TUI alternative to Pavucontrol. https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer
Honorable mention is Ncmpcpp, which is a TUI frontend for MPD.

How do I reduce the volume of an app that only plays sound while in focus?
I'm not sure which desktop or window manager you use, but you could try using a drop-down terminal like Guake and running pulsemixer on a tab in it.

Switching between audio output devices easily
Not a solution for switching audio devices from polybar, but if you're currently using pavucontrol, I highly recommend switching to pulsemixer: https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer

Perks of having a LinuxAudio setup!
Mixers: alsamixer (always used) pulsemixer (always used) jack_mixer (autostarts on startup with customized default settings) qasmixer (very rarely) Non-Mixer(very rarely)

Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
> It’s haven’t bought any Modular’s yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into other on the new year.
The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter.
Ther former has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis.

Ask HN: Whats the modern day equivalent of 80s computer for kids to explore?
A music synthesizer. It's a pathway to learning electronics, music, and the nature of sound. There are cheap kits, cheap synths, lots of kinds of synths, and there are much more complicated and expensive systems you can grow into. You can get software synths also, VCV Rack is a free though complex one:
However I'd recommend an inexpensive hardware one with real knobs you can turn, like one of the Korg Volca series:
https://www.korg-volca.com/en/
Recording the sounds can lead into exploring all the concepts and gear involved in recording and mixing music. It's not mutually exclusive with doing other things also, you can play with both synths and computers and being involved with something artistic can add dimensions to and an escape from the nature of classwork/work.
Some other suggestions: gardening, high voltage electronics (with lots of supervision), electronics, photography, movie making, ham radio (gnu radio), show lighting systems (there's more than disco lights, robotics is involved), robotics, acoustic instruments (guitar, piano, flute, drums), sensors (you don't necessarily have to know electronics, get a data logger with built in sensors), weather monitoring/forecasting, hydraulic systems (with supervision), wood working, metal working, 3D printing, bird watching, painting, minibikes/small engines.
- What Is the Future of the DAW?
- Should I pull the trigger?

Long time Cubase user who is leaving a more traditional electronic workflow to modular hardware... Bitwig seems to be the DAW more for this style possibly? Any opinions first hand?
Also I would suggest the paid version of VCV rack which works as a VST too ( the free version is just stand alone ) Expecially when experimenting with modular ( believe me, it can save you a fortune whilst you learn what different modules do ) I would also recommend Omri Cohens Youtube channel for learning this too.

Show HN: Building musical synthesizers with SQL queries
I tend to open, and play, with https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack daily...
I haven't in the last few as I make horrific noises with SQL instead ;)
-
Beginner - where to learn?
https://vcvrack.com/ goes even further . It really forces you however to think of synthesizers in their fundamental terms; if you're familiar with programming, TAL and Tyrell are more like higher-level languages while VCV is machine language. You can make anything, but you have to build everything from scratch .

Get Into Music: Variety Pack Software Bundle
VCV Rack is going to be intimidating if you're a beginner (it's certainly intimidating to me), but if you have any interest in modular synthesis, this lets you emulate your own modular synth. Endless possibilities once you climb that learning curve
