Quota Mini 1.1 - Dialogue Sampler

Isolate vocals & auto-chop dialogue samples by sentence.

What it does

Quota Mini 1.1 is a massive update for dialogue sampling on macOS. 🎤 Vocal Isolation: Remove background music & score from any video instantly. ✂️ Sentences Mode: Auto-chop samples based on text punctuation, not transients. 🔊 Normalization: Perfect levels every time. We’ve also completely re-architected the engine to fix the v1.0 startup crash—1.1 is rock-solid and fast. ⚡️ 50% OFF with code INTRO50 (ends Jan 31). Stop chopping by hand. Get clean quotes in seconds.

    Edit videos faster by automatically removing silences2022 · kapwing.com · ▲171

    Our team is filled with technologists and creators, and when we record and edit videos, 80% of the time is spent chopping up the video, removing silences, and picking the right takes. So we decided to build a tool that did that for you — or at least get you there most of the way! Our initial implementation is somewhat naïve and uses a user configurable silence threshold that just reads in volume levels. In the future, we’d like to use a frequency-based approach that focuses on the human voice. We’re also open to ideas, so let us know if you have any!

    Chorus, a Mac app that lets you chat with a bunch of AIs at once2024 · melty.sh · ▲139

    There's so many cool models to try but they're all in different places. In Chorus you can chat with a bunch of models all at once, and add your own system prompts. Like 4o with a CBT overview, or a succinct Claude. Excited to hear your thoughts!

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
