audacity is a very versatile program

196::: spoiler alt text Screenshot of a Twitter post by @sirocyl: "what's a good hex editor - preferably for windows - for annotating structs and stuff? I'd normally use audacity but I figure there's gotta be something better for this." Attached to the post is a screenshot of Audacity showing two tracks, one of a binary file being interpreted as audio, zoomed-in at the sample level where individual bits can be edited, and a label track with labels such as "IMGDATA_MAGIC", "IMGDATA_FILE_NAME (1)", "Width (1)" and "Height (1)". :::
Blender can probably do that
The owner of x did say he wants to make it the everything app, but im not sure its there yet
Wait ... Does this work?!
Unironically I use it in my glitchart pipeline lol
Rate my setup:
Video Editing: Blender 2.7
Audio Editing: Shotcut
Text Editor: Firefox
Scripting Environment: TES III Morrowind Construction Set
Image Viewer: ascii-image-viewer (terminal)
Password Database: Windows Notepad with Wine
Browser: Steam Overlay
I hear the video editing part of blender is actually decent for casual use.
When I was a kid wanting to get into YouTube (all evidence of which has been scorched off the face of the earth), Blender wasn't actually that bad of a video editor.
Pad: left
what do you use for cad? minecraft?
Good idea 👀
Vim
If you don't mind using openscad with it, it actually works quite well. 😁
I built myself a toolmaking script with openjscad. So it was kinda my primary CAD for a few weeks anyway.
Gonna print myself a shirt with these
Let me sing you the executable of my people.
I once played an executable and it sounded like some breakcore
ImHex (https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex) is the answer but I fear showing OOP that program might lock them into hyperfixation until they starve.
You have to check it out though! There's so much there, including some possibilities for automating OPs workflow. This sort of stuff is outside my wheelhouse but it's got automated patern detection, options to run a fancy disassembler that does the job for you. And the UI is so slick! I just leave it up as eye candy sometimes 🤓
I don't get it, I am tired l, pls enlighten me
ImHex is a very good hex editor. My "joke" if you can call it that, was that the type of person who'd use audacity as a hex editor would be so enamored by the vast array of features in ImHex they'd never stop playing around to it to the point of starving because they'd forget to eat.
Nerds: Well akshully . . .
Musical Nerds: AUDACITY!
Notepad++ it has what windows lacks
notepad++ lets you do hex editing too? that's pretty cool!
Yep, it's an official plugin!
Notepad++ can work as a full IDE with the right plugins at this point lol
ed could work as an IDE too
I did use it as full IDE with some plugins for some months
emacs
M-x hexl-mode
Speaking of Audacity, they've come a long way, and recently released version 4. It's moving into more pro looking DAW territory. Reaper better watch out 😅
Yeah but the problem is from i understand it lacks exactly the features that would make it a daw. If it had midi and automation i think i could actually use it as a daw. I might check it out one day but they only had version 4 as an appimage last time i checked.
On Linux, I'd use Okteta: https://apps.kde.org/okteta/
for annotating, just print on paper and use a pencil
xxd + $EDITOR
