I’m surprised capture one wasn’t able to meet your needs, as an ex-heavy Lightroom user that has been very happy with their transition to C1 with a perpetual license.

What about it ended up not working out for you?

It’s been a bit since I’ve read Amusing Ourselves to Death but I believe in the book the phrase ”Now this” is used disparagingly to refer to the fact that with tv you can go from a horrific news story like a local family being murdered to a completely unrelated story, both in content and emotion in the span of seconds. This doesn’t allow ample time for the viewer to process the former and essentially forces them to turn their brain off as the cognitive dissonance of holding both stories (and more) simultaneously would be impossible.

Only issue with home row key combos is the letter comes out delayed since it’s now waiting for keyup event to register single press vs keydown for a combo. You don’t notice that with caps lock remapping because caps lock doesn’t output anything.

Ask me how I know :)

That’s more due to mono being the dominant format at the time so the majority of time and money went to working on the mono mix. The stereo one was often an afterthought until stereo became more widespread and demand for good stereo mixes increased.

Since you’re porting the 808’s sounds/panel I understand the order you have matches it. I also agree it should be reversed if only because the kick/snare are lower frequency sounds and the hats are higher frequency and that would map better to reversing the direction that is currently on the site.

Love this btw, it will be fun to noodle on this when I’m away from the studio

Very neat explanation of solving these kinds of unique challenges, especially given how similar the illustrations were.

One question I had was, knowing how difficult it was to train the model with the base images, and given that the client didn’t have time to photograph them, did you consider flying someone out to the museum for a couple of days to photograph each illustration from several angles with the actual lighting throughout the day? Or potentially hiring a photographer near the museum to do that? It seems like a round trip ticket plus a couple nights in a hotel could have saved a lot of headache, providing more images to turn into synthetic training data. Even if you still had to resort to using 4o as a tiebreaker, it could be that you only present two candidates as the third might have a much lower similarity score to the second candidate. Good write up either way.
