Clearly I haven't written in a while. I've been busy with all manner of projects, of late. However, since this will be mostly video and image posting, I thought it couldn't hurt to get a quick article up.

We know that I'm something of an audio buff. I love having music around me all the time. But isn't that becoming more of a staple in the American home, anyway? I certainly think so. There's lots of folks who are also listening to music all the time. I have my own personal preferences, though. (Shocker, I know.) The thing is, I want my audio system to tie nicely into my home. I want play/pause buttons scattered around, and well... I've got more demands.

I'm ready to manage my audio "wiring" a bit more virtually, these days, and I'm ready to do that with some of the cool new tools available in Linux. Luckily for me, Pipewire has some command-line applications that make doing that an absolute cinch! And what's better, I can do it from Python, and make it a little more automagic. Now THAT's what I'm talking about!

So, I've got an old (1992) Ford pickup, and it's got a newer-ish stereo. I love keeping my favorite tunes on a USB stick that I can play everything from, but I HATE it when the volume changes from one song to the next. I go from barely being able to hear the music to having my eardrums blown out in 0.5 seconds. So, I've come to the conclusion that I need to fix that. With PYTHON!

I'm so fed up with low-level audio in Linux. It's a constant struggle, and I'm throwing in the towel. I'm done.

I recently decided to drop Windows (finally), and move to Linux, full-time. But that means moving to Pipewire; which is both exciting and slightly daugnting. You see, to make the move, I need to get VBAN working on Linux, and talking to Pipewire. Hmm. Time to do some digging...

It's been a crazy month, but isn't that how Halloween is supposed to be, anyway? Crazy? Well, maybe not like this. Let me explain...

Some songs have a hidden meaning, and one song that I really enjoy has something hidden so deeply, I just love it!

Wait... What? There's an API for VoiceMeeter? And there's already a Python API for it? Sign me up!

Ever wish your music was synchronized across your home, but you didn't have to sell your soul to Google to make it happen? Well, I did it with a Raspberry Pi and a nifty little open-source project!
