Since the year is coming to a close, just wanted to update everyone on what I’ve been working on. From Star Wars, to The Simpsons, it’s been a pretty *epic* year.

Had such an amazing time at #GameSoundCon this year! Got to tourist around LA a bit while I was there ☀️

This has been such an amazing year of new video games for me: been playing Expedition 33, Blue Prince, Dave the Diver, and finally started Baldur’s Gate 3 🥹 all so good

Just wanted to thank the team at Airwiggles for choosing me for this year’s Content Creation Award! It means so much to me that people enjoy Audio Industry News 🖤🎧

#AirCon25 has begun! Make sure to tune into airwiggles.com/aircon for another 9 free talks about audio production for games and films today :) #gameaudio #audiopost #sounddesign #musicproduction #voiceacting

Back from the depths of work to remind everyone AirCon25 is happening right now! Tons of talks all about the audio industry, and the conference is totally free and online 🎧

The #AirCon25 schedule is here! 63 free audio-production-for-media livestreams from 102 audio professionals: taking place from June 7th at airwiggles.com/aircon! It's been a real mission getting it all together :) If you're into #gameaudio, #audiopost then do stop by Airwiggles and tune in! 🙂

OBSESSED 🖤🎧🎧 @command_s_apparel (Don’t judge my mouse I want a trackball mouse so bad 🥲😂)

It’s my 6 year freelance-iversary, but today is also the one year anniversary of adopting Suki! 🎉

I don’t need a Valentine. I need 6 million dollars and for my DAW to stop crashing 🖤

Getting real hard to focus on making cute little waveforms for work with everything going on right now.

I started my freelance career in this very room, had so many memories here, but it’s on to better things! Weird to see it so empty

I had such a fun time last year giving a talk about freelancing for AirCon! If you have something in mind for an audio talk make sure to submit it! And if you don’t have an airwiggles account yet you should 🎧

Todd Foster is a Naughty Dog legend, having worked there for over 15 years. While his family and friends are fortunately safe, his house was completely destroyed in the wildfires. He currently has a Go Fund Me up to help cover expenses: gofund.me/36a41e41

Finally checking out Ghost of Tsushima! Haven’t been this in awe of environments in a game since Horizon

Thinking of everyone impacted by the fires happening right now. If anyone knows of any gofundmes or aid let me know

When moving and loading studio equipment into your car, I highly recommend ducking, otherwise you may bang your head on the trunk door and give yourself a concussion 🙃

I’m spending Christmas alone for the first time in a very long time. To everyone who isn’t with family this year, or who had life events that changed everything, I’m with you 🖤 Happy Holidays audio friends

Taking a little break from Audio Industry News! I’ll be back next year for more sound news bi-weekly updates. 🖤

Please someone give me an audio job that gives me an excuse to record my cat Suki

Last couple days to shop the sale at command-s-apparel.com! Something I’m really passionate about is getting visibility on audio engineers, highlighting the work we do and making sure people know we are out here making beeps and boops. So I made a line of audio merch (that’s inclusive!!) 1/ ⬇️

I’m having so much fun with my work lately. I’m getting to work with people I’ve always wanted to work with and learning new things all the time. I can’t wait until I get settled after my move and can really focus in on all I’m doing.

This one goes out to all my audio friends on set. Sale is on! Grab some audio merch for you and your sound people!

Audio merch that’s comfy enough to edit in, cool enough to wear, and on sale??? Sale starts Friday! command-s-apparel.com

This is your psa that if your Pro Tools subscription renews around this time, you can cancel your auto-renewal and just buy a new subscription at the Black Friday discount 👍

First picture was my setup the year I started freelancing 6 years ago. The monitors and interface were loaned to me, and my Mac was ancient. Second picture is me and my studio from this year. Every year it grows just a little more 🥹

Something I’ve noticed lately about short form content I’m working on audio for is that the production audio is getting worse and worse. Part of me thinks it’s due to AI. Costs are getting cut during the recording phase, knowing some post AI processing can magically ‘fix it’.

Someone from gen z told me they liked my outfit so I’ll be riding the high from that confidence boost for the next 12 years or so.

Are you an audio engineer? Do you like audio engineer stuff? Well do I have the shop for you! command-s-apparel.com

Ah, finally. Toque season. (Bought it from @cgiammatteisound.bsky.social’s brand, Command + S Apparel 🖤)

Not only is this sticker awesome, but it has survived me dropping my phone in the bathtub, cleaning my phone with sanitizer, & my case falling apart 💀 If you’re shopping for Christmas presents for yourself or an audio friend use my link!! 🖤🖤 We 🖤 CMD-S apparel command-s-apparel.com?ref=faith_ab...

Okay finding a new place to live right now is STRESSFUL

Hello! I'm moving countries in one month and I'm trying to make any extra money I can before I leave. If you need any kind of music work done please feel free to hit me up! I specialize in J-Rock and Electronic genres but I'm pretty open to other styles! #gamemusic #indiegames #gamedev #composer

New episode of Audio Industry News this week. I talk about the new set of M4 powered Macs, Noisevember at Airwiggles, and a Nintendo Spotify? Watch more over on IG (same @)

Moments like these are when the arts become so important. People will be depending on us to provide stories to escape to, songs to heal with, and space for a moments peace. Rest this week. Next week, we continue the work. We must.

Anyone live in a country they really love? Now taking suggestions 😅 if the audio community wanted to all move somewhere and take over a little town I wouldn’t be opposed.

Long day today for all of us living in the US. Go vote if you haven’t already.

Does anyone know how to not include .DS_Store files when copying from Mac to Windows? I can’t figure out how to turn it off. Tried what the internet says but to no avail.

@cgiammatteisound.bsky.social We representing!! 😁

If you’re wearing your Command + S Apparel tees to GSC I’d love to see! Been hearing reports of multiple sightings of my current fav 👀

Hello to the audio community here! I’m Christa, a freelance sound designer/dialog editor/mixer for various media. I’ve worked on a little bit of everything from ads, to films, to games, but I really would love to work on more sound for animation and video games 🖤
