Vermont is a socialist state, needs of the many and all that, so you better not be rollin’ hot on snow tires come the end of May, unless you want to be on the receiving end of a lot of stern frowns.

Traverse now available! (iOS waiting for Review, as usual.) www.audiodamage.com/collections/...

Apparently, everyone on Bluesky subscribed to Paramount+ and didn’t just occasionally watch clips on YouTube. Sure. Performative outrage is exhausting. Your ass vote?

What is a harmonic? Check out the interactive comics about additive synthesis that @aleclongstreth.bsky.social and I made! melatonin.dev/additive-syn...

Traverse, the newest member of our MOVEMENT collection, is on deck! Look for it towards the end of the month for desktop and iOS. #tapedelay #lofi #cassette #musicproduction #vstplugin

Apple sure does think I care about F1 racing a whole lot. That is a strange thing for Apple to think I care about. Spoiler: I do not care.

Lovely weekend in the City with the fam. Congrats to my niece for her graduation (suma cum laude, natch!) from Fordham. Hour to kill before my train back to the Falls, so I’m stalking my favorite slice.

Let the record show that Jackery customer support is the best I’ve even heard about, let alone experienced. So far above and beyond I don’t even have a frame of reference for it. And in this gilded modern era, too. Turns out it’s totally possible.

100% of the time, when a customer or fellow dev references a version of macOS by name, I have to look it up. My ability to map California place names to macOS versions in a meaningful fashion is basically nonexistent.

Dear @dropbox.com Pop up another modal on my desktop asking me how I'm "enjoying the Dropbox desktop experience," and I'm going shopping for another cloud. Seriously that bullshit can fuck right off.

If you think you somehow fucked up your music career, let me tell you this: I once emailed an MP3 of a track to 2,000 press contacts. I did it with a normal cc, not bcc, and I attached the MP3 to the email. In 1997. When most of these people were on dialup, and didn't know what to do with an MP3.

Lo-fi Rhodes solo with ODC, Descent, and Kombinat 4. No EQ, no comp, just the chain. Link in bio. #lofi #lofihiphop #lofibeats #beatmaker #musicproduction

While I am a rational person, and a great believer in science, I am of the opinion that there is no math to describe the utter lack of shit I give about what Beyonce wore yesterday.

How many times do we have to cancel Russell Brand before he stays cancelled? I no longer accept "wah I was cancelled" as a valid complaint, because clearly it doesn't fucking take.

Spring has sprung, at long last. #vermont #vermonting

When at first (or second or third) you don’t succeed, try try again.

Any movie with James Corden in it looks pretty good right up to the moment you find out James Corden is in it.

Other Desert Cities v1.0.14 for iOS is up in the App Store, and it is now available for iPhone! apps.apple.com/us/app/other...

I believe Adam Ant said it best, when he politely asked “don’t give me chish-chash in ricky-dink time.” Lyrics were some nonsense in the 80s, no lie.

Fun fact: the names of the algorithms in our Other Desert Cities delay (Desert Shores, Mecca, Cactus, Thermal, Mirage, and Sky Valley) are the actual other desert cities that the sign on the I-10 highway refers to.

Glitch mob in the house: @audiodamage.com Continua, Quanta 2, and Replicant 3, with a little love from TouchDesigner.

Dear Person That Designed The Printful Shopify App: Dude. Bro. Help me help you. This is not an acceptable use of your time or skills. Come on now.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: delete Spotify. You don’t need it. Don’t just delete it. Take it out behind your house and beat it with a garden tool. Then piss on it. Seriously, that dude and his company are a parasite.

That whistle that turbo diesel plus-sized pickups make is the sound of “here comes basic bitch reply guy!”

New blog post...

I know most everyone else is well in to spring, but we just got snow a couple days ago. It’s nice to see the first tentative buds and flowers. #vermont

2/3 of our synthesizer bundle, hard at work. #ambientmusic #synthesizer

Good morning from Snowland (Reprise)

Me every morning now: <yawn stretch> Today’s the day! Gonna be a good one! <checks Apple News> Nope. Scratch that. Still alive.

I’d like the record to reflect that, while I like the Police, I am 57. I have heard every single song on Synchronicity enough. I’m good. We can shelve that one.

Quanta 2.2.0 is now available in the App Store (and it's on sale too!) Playable waveforms and an improved preset experience await you! apps.apple.com/us/app/quant...

Apple not having your disembodied hands music gear videos in the App Store, and that's final.

Dear @mailchimphelp.bsky.social I get it. SMS has moved to Campaigns. I have internalized this information to the point where I see this modal in my sleep. Do I need to see it on every single page I look at on your site, forever? Asking for a friend.

The Spring Sale starts now! Use the code SPRING26 in our store for 40% off your entire order. Grab the new sound design hotness of Ascent and Descent, or familiar favorites like Quanta 2 and Other Desert Cities. audiodamage.com #electronicmusicproducer #plugins #daw #electronicmusicproduction

One super annoying thing about having to do business with a lot of Europeans is that they all get vacations and healthcare. It can really impinge on my Freedom™ or whatever.

Eos 2 Updated to 2.5.0 on all platforms. >> New algorithm! Random Plate, a glassy smooth medium-density plate algo, joins the cast. >> Preset Inc/Dec buttons and favorite star added to front panel. >> 20 new presets added; you can find them in Factory/v2.5

Is there an up-cycle use for Dish Network carcasses that I am not aware of?

This little house I’m renovating now is the third one I’ve bought, and one thing I’ve learned: the home improvement skills of Previous Owner are inversely proportional to the number of dead Dish Network carcasses I have to peel off the outside. Landfill capitalism at its finest.

I don’t know who _won_ the loudness wars, but Berlin’s “Pleasure Victim” definitely lost them. What’s a brother gotta do to get a modern remaster of this? ‘Bout fixin’ to do it myself.

Almost spring!

Audio Damage Ascent: Shimmer & Space in one place! Now available for your DAW in the Audio Damage store and the App Store. #ambientmusic #electronicmusicproducer #synthesizer #shimmerreverb #soundscape

In this morning’s battle of Luna v Skunk, the score is Mr. Stinky: 1, a very penitent and remorseful Luna: 0. Bright side: it wasn’t Stickers, the neighborhood porcupine.

The longer I work on any given house, the more detailed and refined my dislike of Previous Homeowner becomes.

Dear YouTube et al: there is, I can assure you, not a single situation about which I require Bill Maher’s opinion.

Snow day dub.

Prince was right all along.
