i like saying "black hole theory" and "free energy". its not about being literally right, its about having fun while theorycrafting. im a kid underneath and im not about to give that up.
so, translated: when i kill all the aliasing, as in it no longer shows up on the analyzer at all, i like to say ive sent it into a black hole. hint: nobody actually believes theres a black hole in my audio chain. and the "free energy" is just: the same noise that dithers the oscillator and cleans up the sinusoidal distortion also works as an analog style noise source. one circuit, two uses, the second one is free. i havent broken thermodynamics, theyre just concepts that are fun and help me think.
bottom line: i use astronomy as inspiration.

One thing you learn very early in a software development career is that coding itself is never the real bottleneck.Architeuthis wrote: Thu Jul 09, 2026 11:55 pm i couldnt finish past projects because writing the code was the bottleneck, not: understanding the problem. now the bottleneck is gone and im shipping.
Please don't take generalized statements or truisms personally. Additionally, people pointing out potential pitfalls to you are doing you a huge favor, not insulting you.Architeuthis wrote: Thu Jul 09, 2026 11:55 pm its a bit funny to be told ill "never know why things dont work out"

Finally. Now we just have to wait for a proper plugin that emulates aliasing on a component level.

There are no sane people in this thread. Not one. Anyone who wasted their time postI---- ah, f**k.
