/late/ - Late Nights

>>3 (OP) 
Awesome, thanks!

Perhaps the radio should have the alternating wallpapers it had before.

>>3 (OP) 
Alright, I think adding Hawaii: Part II to Late Station was a mistake, it doesn't fit the /late/ feel. Anything from the artist ミラクルミュージカル should be removed.

Thanks! Was about to go looking for the files myself. Will add sometime later. I'm not really in the mood to work much on the radio on sunday, so next week or so. 
>>6
I deleted them. Didn't really stand out to me though. The only problem is that sometimes a calm number can be followed by something loud and that's a bit jarring. Need to think of something to make it work better.

Will add this one too soon

I'm having trouble getting lateradio to play (seems to work, but no sound). Also, I tried to upload one of my favorite albums ('Forgotten Dreams' Mix, by Suicide Sheep) after converting to .OGG format, as indicated on the site.

It said the 'entity was too large'. The file is 71MB. Can you adjust the size limit there please?

>>3 (OP) 
Hey OP, if you need the help, I'd be happy to upload the music anyone on this thread are sharing with youtube.

>>24
Should work fine now. Made the max size limit 75mb. Also yeah there was a bug on chrome that didn't make the radio stream correctly. should be gone by now.
>>31
Sure, if you want to help out I would appreciate it. 

Also since wirechan bunker is deleted, could the BO change the op to link to the station? 

I also found a good ffmpeg command to convert mp3 to ogg which would work on the stream. Could put it in the op too

ffmpeg -i yourfile.mp3 -vn  -c:a libvorbis -q:a 7  yourfile.ogg

>>34
>ffmpeg -i yourfile.mp3 -vn  -c:a libvorbis -q:a 7  yourfile.ogg
Maybe actually make -q:a 9 instead of -q:a 7, since it'll make better audio quality

>ffmpeg -i yourfile.mp3 -vn  -c:a libvorbis -q:a 9  yourfile.ogg
Lol. Now my 71MB file (>>24) is 183MB. :^)

Maybe I better just leave this stuff to you professionals to deal with. Here's the orginal sauce:

BTW, there are many mixes by Sheepy that would be /comfy/late/-compatible IMO.

>>41
Question: did you upload the mix?

[Hide] (7.5KB, 316x138)

>>11
Done

>>42
No, since the size jumped well above 75MB using the correct ffmpeg cmd.

>>46
Ok, I'll figure it out and upload it

>>47
Thanks! That will be cool listening to it on Lateradio.

Hey, radio anon here. Accepted every song but have few comments to make.

The first one being 'Forgotten Dreams' Mix. Wouldn't it be better to upload the songs one by one? Cause right now we'll always will listen to that mix in the exact order of the video for more than an hour. I would prefer it to be upload song by song. If you don't want to do it I can do it in the weekend. For now I accepted it, but if no one ads the songs seperately I'll do it in the weekend. 

Second one is, does anyone have issues with a calm song being followed by something loud? I few times felt the transition to be jarring. I'm thinking what could be done about it. I read ffmpeg can normalize all the files in one folder, so I could write a script to do that. I could also make a script to give song a loudness rating and make the transition between them a bit smoother by grouping them together. If someone has any other ideas or thinks it's good how it is now, tell me

>>54
>I could also make a script to give song a loudness rating and make the transition between them a bit smoother by grouping them together. If someone has any other ideas or thinks it's good how it is now, tell me
That actually sounds pretty cool if you can do it Anon. Yeah, I don't really like mellow music followed by loud (or, usually, vice-versa).

>>54
>Wouldn't it be better to upload the songs one by one?
That thought was swimming in my mind... Yeah, I'll upload the songs from the mix individually, it does make sense. I'll get them all in before the weekend.

>does anyone have issues with a calm song being followed by something loud?
It is indeed a a little jarring when a quiet song is immediately followed by a louder one. Something Nightwave Plaza does is progressively tune the audio down in the last few seconds of a song, and when a new song begins the audio will tune progressively higher to its normal volume. To me, this makes going from a calm song to a more loud one more seamless, as it readies our ears for the sudden change. That may be worth considering.

Also, I'm loving the new radio so far. Good work Anon!

Alright, I got a good chunk of the mix in today, and will get another tomorrow.

Also, this should be "Pared back to the minimal".

Not to be pedantic, but what's the link to the radio station? I don't see it in the OP ITT.

Thanks fren. BO, maybe you could add this to this thread's OP too?

>>76
Sure

>>54
Ok radio Anon, all the individual songs from 'Forgotten Dreams'  Mix by MrSuicideSheep are uploaded. Although, can you check if Piano Piece by Ghosts Of Paraguay uploaded correctly? I accidentally deleted the song while it was being uploaded, I'm not sure if that'll cause a problem.

>>81
>all the individual songs from 'Forgotten Dreams'  Mix by MrSuicideSheep are uploaded.
nta, but excellent work Anon. Been thoroughly enjoying the additions. May a submit yet another favorite Sheepy mix for inclusion?

>>81
Yeah it did get uploaded. Accepted every song request again. I'l try to get tomorrow the backgrounds working and maybe the listener count. So if stuff breaks for you while listening a big chance I'm updating the site

>>85
Of course! Just throw the link in here and I'll get them all in.

>>86
Thank you for checking, and good luck with those new additions.

Hey, OP here. Sorry for not getting the background images and stuff on time. I had the misfortune of stopping being a neet a week ago and I barely have free time now. I'll still be adding backgrounds soon and what not. I'm sure I can get it done by next week, but should be soon. Maybe tomorrow.

>>128
We still appreciate you giving us the radio, feels a little more like /late/.

Alright, did few things. As always, write here if you have found any issues

Added some music this night. Hope they'll match with the rest as lots of what I heard is more ambient / vaporwave oriented.

Hey radiobro, I'm affraid having inverted title and song name fields so I uploaded the same song two times. here is the good one to keep :
>artist
:Of The Wand & The Moon:
>title
Hold My Hand

Thanks very much.

Is... Is it ok to upload an almost one hour long track of drone / ambient ?

Was thinking, is it possible to keep an updated list of he songs already uploaded to avoid duplicates ?

>>195
Not the radio runner, but I think it'd be a good idea. 6forty Radio does something like this. Another thing that could be done is reject songs with the same title and artist.

>>195
>>206
Done. You can search the list by using the fields on the left too
>>193
Will change it later. I'll be reviewing the added songs later today so I'll also take care of the name
>>194
Sure. Lot of tracks are ambient so it'll fit in


Also, captcha doesn't work for me. Nothing passes. I am using the no cookies one, so if you read this, that one at least works

>>238
Thanks radiobro.

No problem. Deleted one of them. All songs once again passed.

>>252
Thanks /late/radio!

I come regularly to listen the radio, sometimes I upload stuff but everytime I check the upload list. Glad to see new music is still posted.
Thanks friends.

Not sure if this is intentional but ６グラムの星 by Shizuka has a guitar solo in the middle that is absolutely not comfy, sounds like its either compressed to hell and back or it's just that bad.

>>339
I think it's just like that 
You can listen to it on YT and decide for yourself if you want https://youtu.be/lTBM72vQI50

>>339
I uploaded it and I don't pretend to have golden ears but for me it sounds pretty good implying it's from an old VHS rip of a live performance.

I may have uploaded the original version but damn, this live rendition is way more emotional.

Petition to remove Élévation by Alcest I't very Uncomfy And destroyed my sanity and triggered an event for me.

>>455
I'm the anon who uploaded Alcest. I'm joining you to remove it from Latestation. Was thinking it could be nice but afterwars realised it's maybe too noisy for the radio.

[Hide] (8.1MB, 10:47)

I really like the attached song and think it would fit quite well with the other noise music, but especially the drum sound is sort of harsh. I tried to soften it a bit while leaving most of the texture intact. What do you think?

>>497
The Goslings is really good music b ut not sure if it can fit with the rest of the radio.
Just listened to the two songs you posted it seems ok for me, but as I am >>458, don't sure if my opinion is valid :)

elevation.ogg
[Hide] (6.6MB, 10:58)

>>455
https://youtube.com/watch?v=lvdyda5fOMc is a piano cover of Élévation. If the original ends up getting removed, i will add this to the radio. It has quite a lot of unintentional noise though.
The attached version went through a noisegate, a dynamic range compressor and had a miniscule amount of reverse reverb and regular reverb added. The reverb distracts remarkably well from the remaining noise. It sounds like it introduces artifacts but it's just interacting with clipping/fuzz from the original audio. I'm doing this mostly by ear and the sox manual, so let me know if it sounds good enough.

>>502
Not a musician myself but I'm pretty sure this piano needs some tuning. The idea is good and it could have been a great cover but too many flaws fo me.

would be really cool to have a zine entry on creating an internet radio service

>Song 234 "The Orchid And The Death's Head.ogg"
Please remove .ogg from track title

>>583
Just done it
>>561
I might write one in a month from now (will stop wage slaving then). The radio isn't really something pretty though. Just lot of hacks that seem to work. In general will take better care of the radio soon. I really didn't have any time lately for it so sorry.

>>598
>I really didn't have any time lately for it so sorry.

Take care radiobro.

Can you remove The Queenstons song please?

>>623
Nevermind, leave it, unless you hate it

The Minecraft cave sounds are jarring and loud. Would prefer if they're removed, but I know you're a busy man.

>>1095
Lol, so that's what that was

Radio anon here.
>>1095
Disabled them few days ago. Was funny though

I'm sorry for again disappearing. But I really can't seem to catch any time at all. I don't even know why if I am honest. My time management sucks ass. Also kinda will lead into e-begging with this. Would anyone want to help out with the radio? I'll would make a second account during weekend so that someone could help curate songs and stuff. Just without the ability to remove files. I'll be trying to get an update to the radio out soon to get all missing features and fix bugs. I wrote about the issues on lainchan https://lainchan.org/%CE%A9/res/73252.html at No.73268.

Hopefully I'll also catch time to write that guide how to set up an online radio too.  

Also whoever added BTS on the station can suck my nuts

I submitted Throughout The Dark Months Of April And May by Cocteau Twins, but accidentally added an l to the title.
>>1143
>Also whoever added BTS on the station can suck my nuts
There is a lot of kpop/jpop at 329 to 341, 350 to 361 and 396 to 400. IMO it's completely antithetical to what latestation should be, yet judging from the breadth of submissions, some anons want to listen to a degree of pop-adjacent music.
I don't know where the line for such music should be drawn. Still if it has a professionally produced music video with choreographed dancing, it's safe to say it doesn't fit. This is what i would categorize as fitting:
>somber and minimalist pop
>electronic music that's not particularly euphoric or bass heavy
>contemplative guitar music
>dreampop that isn't overly saccharine
>noise, ambient, vaporwave, etc.

Been a while I hadn't posted music. Nice to see the radio is still running and anons taking care of it :)

Radio anon here. Just saying that the station will be offline for few days. Am working on fixing few things in it and adding features. Expect it to be running soon though

>>1229
OK I just tried to listen the radio without reading your post first. Thanks for letting us know.

I feel that anon

Have you tried looking for places where you can get some alone time in public? Maybe by a creek or roof top right before the buzz of the city starts?

>>1588
You know, I've been thinking about finding a place like that.

Didn't mean to post >>1529 in the radio thread

>>1598
My only suggestion is go for a walk during sunset; you can search up the times online, and chill outside in an empty parking lot in the blue hue of the sunrise, only two moments I’ve found to enjoy myself

I just want to sleep

Oh I was kind of hoping that you would apply the old /late/ CSS in part so I can see how you do it so I can fix up my boards.

Is latestation ever coming back up?

>>1713
I hope so. The thing is the person that set it up has been inactive for several months now. If he doesn't come back we might have to remake Latestation again

>>1789
was it all custom software or something that you could throw up within an hour? might bring it back up myself if it's easy enough.

>>1817
not sure, but the radio was remade from scratch after the 2nd migration from late.city to anon.cafe

Radio anon here. First of all, I admit I fucked it up big time and feel bad for it. I'll really try my best to have this thing running again by the next weekend. And I know I promised a lot but always get behind schedule, but I really have to finish this. I'll give a sad yapping story about what happened once this is done. Didn't earn it yet.
>>1817
It's kinda a bitch to make really. I mostly knew how to stitch stuff together as I previously made an other web radio. But finding how to make everything run took me few months. And even then, the one station we had running had few issues I wanted to fix. Lot of "best practices" go against the thing you need for a radio or are just unusual, which means you do tons of configuration and tweaking yourself (you don't want to cache a stream, stream itself is a big never ending file you upload, modern browser expect the stream to be encrypted, otherwise it won't play). All of this requires a bit of specialist know how that's not that easy to find on the net. 

Anyway, may the lord and anons forgive me for my stupidity. The station will be online before the upcoming Sunday.

Thanks, but I promised this thing by what is now few months ago, and it's still not here. I need to get it out.

As for progress, it's going up in 24 hours. I pulled an all nighter, and it's close to done. But I'm too tired to finish it right now and need some rest. When I wake up, I'll finish it. First I'll eat some eggs though. 

Happy easter already!

>>1844
Okay, I'm sad to inform an other small delay. I just learned that the ubuntu version the server ran on has reached it's end of life, and I can't update anything on it because I get an error message saying it can't be done securely. I'm too tired to deal with it now though. 

I'll go make a backup of every song that's been posted so far, then reinstall the OS or go to something more stable, and finally get radio running again. Sorry again for delay, but I didn't expect this thing to come up.

>>1852
Maybe your keys are expired? Assuming you're using apt-get check if you need to re-add the repos and their new keys.

>>1854
From what I could find, the error happened because the package mirror changed locations. And I should have edited  /etc/apt/sources.list to where it got moved, update every package and then upgrade the version. But after I edited that, it still said it couldn't find the updates.

I went with just getting a new server, this time it'll runs on debian 12, which has support till 2028. So this issue shouldn't happen anytime soon. 

Either way, I have good news and bad news. 

Good news is that the if you now go to latestation it runs on the new software. Which should make it less likely for anything to hang or break, and it's easily extendable unlike the previous version, so I should never have the need to shut it down again.

Bad news is, I still have to copy all the songs from old station. Of which there are 400 or so. But tomorrow I have to work so I can't spend the night doing that. If anyone wants to upload something, feel free to do so. 

No worries though if you can't find a file for a song that was already uploaded. The old server is still running and has all the files, so 100% guarantee every song will make it over to new server. Just give me a bit more time. 

And I know the blue theme is weird. It's because I've made that the standard, and there will be an option to change the theme by the admin. So it'll look like old late station soon too.

Lastly, sorry for falling behind schedule with the radio. Right now though it's just a case of uploading few more songs and me pressing the button to get it running, so it'll work tomorrow guaranteed.

Radio should be streaming. Although I noticed there's still few problems with it and what not. Sometimes the audio drops dead completely. Not sure what exactly causes it, so I'll have to fix that.  Besides that, I'll be bringing over the audio files from the old server. 

Thanks for being patient with my fuck ups

Yeah, it's the issue that the stream sometimes drops dead. Didn't have time to look into it before. I made it now so that i'll generate log file if the stream goes dead. I'll see what's causing it then as this issue seems to only exists when I put the thing online. On my computer it works just fine
