  • It seems so

    Exploding water? In a nutshell, yes, water can “explode” in the fashion described above. However, it takes near perfect conditions to bring this about, thus “exploding water” is not something the average hot beverage drinker who would otherwise now be eyeing his microwave with trepidation need fear. Odds are, you’ll go through life without ever viewing this phenomenon first-hand, and if you’re one of the rare few who does get to see it, you will likely not be harmed by the experience (that would take your standing right over the cup at the instant it happened, and the liquid’s bolting up and hitting your skin).

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised consumers:

    This type of phenomenon occurs if water is heated in a clean cup. If foreign materials such as instant coffee or sugar are added before heating, the risk is greatly reduced. If superheating has occurred, a slight disturbance or movement such as picking up the cup, or pouring in a spoon full of instant coffee, may result in a violent eruption with the boiling water exploding out of the cup.






















  • I went for Rent-To-Own on Splice. It ended up being the best deal because I received all software and version updates for two years while I paid it off and now I own the software. That was a big selling point for me after Reason went subscription. I can stop paying now that’s its paid off and keep that version of Bitwig forever while on Reason if I stopped paying I would lose access entirely.

    That and Bitwig’s stock devices and modules have made a lot of VSTs I used redundant.

    Tbh I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t get an older version through means and fell in love with it.








  • My mistake might also have been to bite off a bit more than I could chew from the get-go, and that I should start by following some tutorials to get to know the software better before I start interfacing everything.

    That could be it. Don’t forget limitations lead to creativity.

    I went with Bitwig because it’s natively Linux compatible, supports 32-bit and 64-bit VST2, VST3, and CLAP plugins with multiple sandboxing options making a plugin crash a nonissue.

    A DAW may be the one thing I am willing to go for proprietary. It’s the most expensive software I have purchased for hobbyist use and it’s rewarding every time I open it. I went with the simplicity of having things “just work” for once.

    But that said with all the options I do get lost in rabbit holes and would probably finish more tracks with fewer choices.
