Same thing happened to me last year: some files on OneDrive where deleted. It was random txt files that I use to log ma progress on projects.
I moved everything out of OneDrive and I backup on hard drives.
That is a shame because OneDrive was a very good product.
No, it was never a good product. It's always been the worst of the file sync apps. How they're so inept when dropbox has been around for almost 20 years is a real mystery. This is a solved problem
The name "pedalboard" might not be the most fitting if latency is too high.
That said, it could still be very useful in a studio setting for post-production work.
What would be really exciting is a hardware device with all the standard plug-and-play inputs, capable of running Python... essentially a true open-source pedalboard for guitar enthusiasts.
If I was looking for a digital pedalboard device I'd want something that was extremely rugged, never had software issues or forced me to download updates, and booted up within about 10-15 seconds (that's how long the digital pedals on my actual pedalboard take to boot). It also needs a case with, at the very least, a couple of patch change switches and an on/off switch; but preferably a lot more.
The ruggedness and built-in controls are really important. I used to gig with a standard laptop + audio interface + multiple MIDI controllers. The external gear was a real hassle to set up, even with everything labelled with bright coloured tape so I could just match colour to colour while plugging it in. And eventually the laptop got knocked over and fell a couple of feet onto a wooden stage - and even that minor impact smashed the screen, which was glued in so I couldn't replace it. I also have a horror story about a machine rebooting to apply Windows updates in the middle of a gig and requiring the rest of the band to improvise until I was done! I don't really gig any more, but if I took it up again, I would switch to using as much hardware as I could.
But I really don't care about actual analog devices. I already have a decent few DSP-powered pedals on my pedalboard and I cannot tell the difference, other than the true analog ones are more noisy!
There is the MOD Dwarf, a Linux based pedal that is much as you describe. It has a pedal style case with three foot buttons, a few encoders and buttons and screen for changing parameters on the fly, but to fully configure it you use a laptop or tablet to connect to it and set up a patch.
But understandable, as The Matrix is generally speaking better known than John Woo films. I mean you named the director instead of one of his films, which implies the director is better known than his films.
The Matrix also did an interesting take on freeze frame animation with the 360 degree simultaneous camera capture thing. They'd use CGI for that nowadays. Actually they used a lot more CGI in fight scenes in the sequels already. Which I think is a shame.
I really like Lua and I work with it almost daily.
But, I hate luarocks. It just don't work well on Windows. And I don't know why. The management of external libraries makes Lua still too difficult to use, which is a real shame considering the qualities of this programming language.
Something to keep an eye out for is Lux: https://github.com/nvim-neorocks/lux. Looks like a promising replacement to Luarocks, but is still pretty early in development.
Me too! I have a software in production for a client made with Lazarus 3 (in Pascal of course) and everybody loves the "Windows feel" of the Gui.
On Linux there is Gambas [1] wich is like Lazarus but for Basic.
Some years ago I used Privoxy on my computer to filter unecessary request.
It worked great and is an alternative to consider if you don't want a computer plugin 24/24 on your network.
