One of the sad collateral damages to updating to macOS High Sierra was my beloved1 Apple Compressor 3. Today I bought and installed Compressor 4 instead. I did that for the same reason that I years ago started using Compressor 3; to batch encode surround sound mixes from PCM (wave, most of the time) to Dolby Digital (AC3).
In Compressor 4, this no longer work.
It’s not that it is a deprecated feature, it is that the feature is broken. If I use AIFF files, it does work, if I use WAVE it doesn’t.
I’ve dug around a bit and it seems to be either a problem with Compressor 4.4.1, and it wasn’t a problem in 4.4.0, or it is a problem with High Sierra. The error message says

Failed: 3x *** -[AVAssetReaderAudioMixOutput initWithAudioTracks:audioSettings:] invalid parameter not satisfying: [audioTracks count] >= 1 |
I’m not a developer but to me that seems like an SDK problem, so maybe it is High Sierra (in my case 10.13.5) that is the problem.
The silver lining is that there is an update to 10.13.6 available, so I guess I’ll do that update and hope for the best. See you on the other side.
I agree completely.
@MrHenko Nice
@adamprocter Yeah, at least now I’ve got one out of three covered. :)
@MrHenko hahah indeed

Just finished watching Thelma & Louise for the first time and I really liked it.
The first Dark Tower book had a lot of interesting ideas but it was quite a slow read. The second one so far appears to be much more of a page turner.
Also a full-sized iPad, even an Air, is a bit on the heavy side for reading in bed.

Does Indiepaper store the list of articles I want to read later or is it “just” a way to get the text out of articles and then sending them to my own site?
A local caching server, meant to speed up commonly-requested sites and reduce bandwidth usage, is a “man in the middle”. HTTPS, which by design prevents man-in-the-middle attacks, utterly breaks local caching servers. So I kept waiting and waiting for remote resources, eating into that month’s data cap with every request.
Securing Web Sites Made Them Less Accessible
Really important post by Eric Meyer.
When it comes to HTTPS, I’m skeptical of the idea of it having to be everywhere. As long as there are any kind of extra work implementing it, as opposed to having an “insecure” web site and the site in question is a simple blog and personal site like this one, I will not go through the hassle and/or pay the money required.
Nice to see so many people1 also having fond memories of Gowalla. To me it had something that so many other social networks don’t. It had personality and it was fun to use, as opposed to simply addicting to use.
@MrHenko yep nailed it. Real shame
