  If you have a usb-c mac and present at conferences, which adapters are you bringing along for HDMI and VGA? The Apple ones have poor reviews
  

  @dylans I actually just ran into this problem this week. The Apple HDMI was the only one that worked with my HDMI capture rig.

  Removing all html classes? What if there are embedded microformats?
  

  Considering it's not possible to add embedded microformats in the Quill HTML editor, I don't see this being a problem ;-)

• Day 45 - Teaspoons

  Day 45. This is the first time I've recorded my own audio for a song, and only the third time I've used audio samples at all. The clinking glass sound I recorded on the kitchen counter. It's me hitting two pint glasses with the handle of a tea spoon. I recorded about 8 takes of 16 bars of the rhythm. I used the best five 4-bar phrases in the final song. It was an interesting experiment cleaning up the audio so that it worked well with the rest of the song. I first used a high pass filter to remove all the low frequencies which cut out the "thumping" sound and the sound of the glass slowly sliding on the table every time I hit it. I discovered that Logic Pro has a "quantize" function that works on audio, not just midi! I used that to get the glass hits better synced up with the beat. I used a pitch adjustment filter to drop the pitch about a quarter tone at the end of the first and third bars of each phrase. I liked the way this detuning sounded, so I echoed that in some of the other instruments as well. The on-the-beat high tone is detuned a step mostly at the end of the phrase, but there's a whole phrase I left it detuned the whole time. I included a brief snippet of video of me recording the clinking sounds just for fun.
