Every time i listen to this remix i have to think of the Golden Sands Miami stage soundtrack of Rapid Racer (Playstation 1). See/listen the YouTubeLink below, which is only shown if you select the link above to show the full forum thread. I like this remix.

Hi all, I'm going to be in the market for new desktop headphones soon - for day-to-day use and to do basic mixing with. They don't have to be anything fancy - my current ones are just Logitech G433s - but I'm looking for: - Price of $100-300 - Not fully noise-canceling. Some mild noise cancellation is fine. - Better bass / low end definition than the G433s - Not much sibilance. A lot of "gaming headphones" have been too tinny or too loud in the 3-8khz range, etc. - Durability! I've had the G433s for 5+ years and they still haven't fallen apart, even with use on most days. Mixing-wise the bass thing is starting to become noticeable, to the point that I have to test on other systems (ex. car stereo) to make sure everything below 100hz sounds fine. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I’d also like to add that I have a ton of outboard gear, but I’m going to say the thing that makes OGs angry:   There is no factor other than workflow preference and need for tactile feedback that keeps anyone from doing literally anything they could possibly need to do ITB.   In addition ive heard insane things that certain DAWs “sound” a certain way (warmer, cleaner, etc).  There is no factual basis for any of it. so my desire to do it all ITB makes having a daw that supports CLAP a priority for future proofing my workflow.   https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLever_Audio_Plug-in Dont want to get into the nitty gritty but basically all industry standard plugin formats namely AU, VST, RTAS (and its successor) are proprietary.  There’s some weird history with VST that confuses some people about this, but it’s a proprietary format developed by steinberg for steinberg hosts (Cubase). having an open plugin format is important, and I believe it is important for the CLAP format to take its place among those other contenders.  

Thanks for the recommendation.  I’ve been using digital audio workstation software for quite some time (since the days when it was “cakewalk or bust” on windows and then sonar shortly afterwards).  I am quite happy with Ableton Live.  I am an IT professional as well and have concerns with using windows as a platform with which to run it on.  Companies such as adobe state that your consent is implied for their usage of your intellectual property and creative projects for the purposes of training machine learning models.  Copilot may follow suit with an “opt out” model very shortly. Combined with Microsoft’s failure to gain any traction for the WASAPI driver model, and the inherent issues with closed source software operating on such a fundamental layer of computing with no way of keeping its privileges check and no way to understand the full scope of telemetry and any changes made to those practices (see: recall, a new windows feature involving screen capture)   the list of reasons why I’d like to switch to an open source operating system are endless.  Live does not support Linux officially.  Bitwig has an almost identical workflow and ergonomic philosophy, and integrates the modular MSP philosophy of “Max” much more seamlessly into the UX.   if after reading this you still think I would benefit by giving the DAW you mentioned a go I certainly will.  I want to say I have a license from a humble bundle or something?

Hello! First time on the forums. Recently noticed that "10 AM" from the ACNH soundtrack and the Empire City Night theme from Sonic Unleashed have very similar vibes. 10 AM Empire City (NIGHT) I was wondering if someone could remix them into a chill/maybe lo-fi-esque sort of thing. Or maybe something similar to Idle City Streets. Like, a good song to sleep to.
