Make your own glitchy images w/ audacity!

- Save to an uncompressed format (.bmp works great!)
- import into audacity as Raw Input w/ Encoding: U-Law and Byte Order; Big Endian
- Play with effects on all but the first quarter second or so (to avoid messing up headers)
- export to format "Other uncompressed files" and click options, set Header to RAW and encoding to U-Law. If you have issues, rename from .raw to .bmp!

@sydneyfalk sorry if i wasn't terribly verbose/clear, let me snag some screenshots for ya

@acostoss I'm v. rusty technically, and barely know what audacity even is

so really I'm just making a dumb joke

(and also, I'm very drunk now, so please do not feel you need to screenshot, I am probably past 'understanding', I am barely at 'typing coherently')

@sydneyfalk haha no worries, i thought it was a joke but thought i should err on the side of misunderstanding JUST IN CASE ya know?

and ye it is kinda hard to get going but once ya get in the groove it gets easier

@acostoss I believe it's probably the case, it is with most things. And I do appreciate the offer even though I couldn't appreciate the finromation ^_^

@acostoss

ha, oh christ, now I'm trying to figure out what 'finromation' is

thinking it's a term used by shark movement capture technicians

@sydneyfalk I was thinking automation, like the automation of ocean currents to ease a fin's ability to glide through the water??

actually that makes about as much sense as the word does

@acostoss (hopefully it's all right if I use that concept, in eventual published fiction)
