Every football fan should have the option to mute Chris Collinsworth commentary.

I wonder what the collective studio billing hours were incurred while guiarists struggled to retune a Floyd Rose trem system? Globally for all time? My guess is 1000s of hours but it could be 10x or more. Thank you Floyd Rose.

Premiere for a film we mixed/designed. Always fun to attend these screenings.

Spitfire Symphonic Strings might be the worst string library I've ever purchased. Maybe worse still was the money spent on Kepler Strings... also by Spitfire. Not surprising what happened with them. Started strong. Then went all Jony Ive with the grind of BIG KEYNOTES. A shame really.

I think I qualify as a veteran mix engineer.... and a thing that has become REALLY clear to me in recent years is that compression is widely overused and quickly leads to a dead flat sound. These are mistakes I made. Try to listen for it.

NPR is... less and less serious journalism every year. Current drive home? A fluff feature about THE BACHELORETTE. Its like People Magazine hour on NPR. Hard news checked out years ago.

I just saw someone refer to the olive garden as italian dennys and now you also need to change your lexicon so we can all live like this

Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

Reverb Wallet... we'll give you 1% extra, then you can never have this money back.... only use it on Reverb. For a measly 1%...

Is Wikipedia the only website that has gone through major global growth but not given in to the pressure of profits that create enshitification? They have longevity. They haven't dramatically changed the function and format due to ad rev motivations. Purpose creates better results than profit.

We just reached a new level of dystopia for my lifetime... Food recall in my area for Radioactive Shrimp

But... seriously. Look at this one!

I really want a Beard square neck Dobro. Like.. bad

These preamps are ridiculously good considering the price of this box. Noise specs a tight as Millennium or Grace. Very quick and clear pairing for Schoeps mic setup.

This place is a blackhole of disengagement... but on the chance an audio person sees this! The Dachman Audio U87 clone is absolutely the real deal. We did a shootout against my vintage '69 Neumann U87 (recently serviced) and the DA87 sounds exactly like it.

Setup for tomorrow's session. Kicking off the third album with VHS. Rhythm section all weekend.

Running a small time recording studio in the era of streaming is an odd xp. We're not making commercial products here, but artifacts for musicians. It's a deeply personal experience and more of a music therapy practice than you might think. Lots of laughs, tears, work and struggle happened here

Often, beers produce albums. This is the first time I made an album that produced a beer! Congrats to Vintage Harmonic Symphony and Barreled Souls brewery on their collab. vintageharmonicsymphony.bandcamp.com/album/lady-b... www.barreledsouls.com

Polling audio post... Are you seeing any request for Atmos mixing for TV, doc, or festival films? I've not but am redesigning the surround setup. Wonder if more Atmos is growing or not? The industry would say the format is spreading. I don't see it being in demand for music or linear media yet.

TIL that mixing speaker size/designs in a multichannel setup is bad. Even if the same brand, having different sized surrounds can cause phase problems in reproduction between speakers. For instance... Kh310 and Kh120 would not be a great design choice for Atmos mix.

Good Monday morning to everyone at work today!

Cool story bro (literally) youtu.be/xuHNW56Ggz4?...

Music Gear and software marketing has been so successful at selling home studios that they have warped reality.

Highlight... "since NI became equity bait and stopped innovating"

Oliver turns 2yr. He likes unrolling tp, looking out the window, and sleeping on towels... and playing the piano after lights out

A short tutorial on how to remove your music from just Spotify if distro via CD Baby. It both doesn't matter and felt great to remove these albums. Of course... You can still find these on other DSP and Bandcamp. xinjoe.bandcamp.com

Always impressed with what Alessandro creates at Sonora Cinematic! A nice and unique strings library. Great value too. Under $30?! Incredible tool. #filmScore #SampleLibrary youtu.be/HxgIAx5IJG8?...

COOOOFFFFFEEEEEE!

Zoia is wild. Very good algorithms. Nice delay and verbs from empress... but mindblowing amount of features. Def not for every user (menu central) but a lot of potential in such a small format. Crazy.

Headspace cleanse.

Don't live for entertainment consumption and socializing. Learn how to self educate and self motivate.

I've helped make nearly a dozen feature docs. It's my favorite film genre and project to work on. Here is one of the best docs I've seen for insight into the disappointing American approach to war. Why We Fight g.co/kgs/vsJbfMh

Get your music off of Spotify. It's bad for you, it's bad for music, it's bad for the literal fucking world. GET. THE. FUCK. OFF. OF. SPOTIFY.

A real corporate Ai comedy of errors observation... Microsoft has pointed Co-Pilot at their own support site support.microsoft.com which every PC savvy person knows if full of incorrect and highly polluted data. Now Co-Pilot spits out garbage that doesn't exist and sites @microsoft.com as the ref

Also... I don't know who linked their influences this AM but thanks for turning me onto Wagon Christ. Cool record. youtu.be/BWSZDepWJCk?...

#spoilerAlert Han Solo was his op.

Eventide H90 users. Did you ever get over the learning curve? This pedal is ridiculously deep.
