It's kind of vague and hit-and-miss though, even on non-NUC systems ASRock not always supports ECC. Supposedly it's because of AMD's (lack of) clarity about the matter (according to an ASRock rep, at least)
This is the mail I sent them in January. Still waiting for a response:
I don't know. I'd argue that if the production process is influenced by the loudness war, then it too becomes part of the loudness war.
For example, a technique of masking distortion (or clipping, rather) is adding something with rich harmonic content (a trumpet for example) to parts that are expected to be hitting the wall and otherwise distorting / clipping.
Would trumpets be there otherwise? I don't know, but I'm sure producers are aware of the limitations of digital audio and as such adapt the music to it.
What CPU are you running it on and how many cores are being used? Are you also in really large rooms like Techlore and Matrix HQ? Because I think I'm in all of the largest rooms (and a lot of the smaller ones)
Yes, but IMO the Matrix team should _really_ focus on Dendrite since Synapse is extremely resource hungry and prevents a lot of people (including me) from running their own servers.
I see this as a missed opportunity by not including independent artists that release their music licensed under Creative Commons.
Imagine offering an option to switch to only CC music. That would boost exposure of (usually) independent artists while at the same time clearing streamers from any copyright issues.
As an independent music producer myself, I for one would love the notion of my music being included in a game like this, even for free.

This reminds me of one of the first articles I've read about Linux and open source in general. It was about a CEO (and largest shareholder) of Medsphere Systems Corp, who open sourced their tech stack (I believe called OpenVista) and was promptly sued by his own company (!)
Unfortunately it seems that the sands of time have eroded the original content (which was apparently hosted on linux-watch.com, which now redirects to a VPS provider), but I've still managed to find something [0] [1] [2]

I long for the day I can build a Mini-ITX laptop. I think it's doable considering you don't go for a dedicated GPU, but alas... the documentation on that is not abundant and I do not have the necessary CAD knowledge yet.
AFAIK it's only capable of 14 bit resolutions for things like modwheel. CC can only have 128 values, right?
Also, isn't it safe to say that by the nature of USB MIDI interfaces, they are not well suited for MIDI operation? As in: Since USB drivers buffer messages, it causes jitter. Is that correct? Are there USB MIDI interfaces / drivers that don't have these issues otherwise?
Added to that: MIDI is mostly used for interfacing with external hardware, and as such you're dependent on the external hardware's MIDI implementation, which isn't always superb to say the least unfortunately.
I'm not overtly familiar with MIDI 2.0, but from what I've heard it does fix most of the issues of the old MIDI. However, if you transport your messages over DIN ports, all bets are off.
You can also look at Open Sound Control, as it was once intended as a replacement for MIDI.
