I wrote and then deleted like 3 different angry posts this morning about genAI and/or the US government, and instead donated to the Mid Ohio Food Bank. Here's a cat, happy Monday.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Hugely important to know how LUFS measurements work, and how perceived loudness works. Numbers are useful information for an audio engineer (LUFS-I and RMS are very!), but they aren't the whole story at all.

Read this thread. This is violence.

I think this is the black friday where I buy SplitEQ

It's sinster as all heck! Honored to have worked with @wilbertroget.bsky.social yet again, thanks for trusting me to master some more tunes.

Wait, you're telling me Nicolas Cage didn't win an Oscar for Face/Off?

Sometimes when you work from home you need to be your own tea shop barista.

Ok sure, defend generated computer voices that are destroying the earth, instead of human artists who spend their life developing a craft filled with empathy and emotion. That seems like a good hill to die on. I hate you.

New episode of Mindy, Ed, and Don Rickles with special guest JOHN STAMOS is out today! We hear about his special friendship with Don and revisit their appearance together on Jimmy Kimmel. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j... #podcast #johnstamos #donrickles #jimmykimmel

I liked Sinners even more the second time rewatching it at home. Such a great film. I was able to pick out more details and really appreciate the score and the acting even more.

This is where we are folks. If my partner's employer didn't recognize us as a domestic partnership, I would be equally fucked.

Puremix has a new video series up with Chris Shaw about the mixing of "Say It Ain't So" by Weezer - one of the songs that made me beg my parents for my first guitar. I have heard that song thousands of times. I never, ever, noticed the sound of Rivers kicking a GTR cable off of his leg at 1:58s 🎧

I think it's worth noting that the job postings at BOOM Library ask for high proficiency with Reaper, and there's no mention of Pro Tools. soundlister.com/new-audio-jo...

A new sect may have been formed to capture the "whispers" in the woods for @ironwood.bsky.social's Pacific Drive expansion👁️‍🗨️ Thanks to the vancouver indie camp members, and uh sorry to the campers across the lake. ⛺ *Use headphones for a binaural experience

Oh.

Interview about the sound of Viktor on @tonebenderspodcast.bsky.social I can't wait to check this out!

What is the environmental/energy cost of YouTube upscaling every video under 1080p with "AI" unless you opt out? Where does the insanity end!? My electric bill doubled this month.

From this day forth, Dave Portnoy can never return to the five boroughs.

We may not all live in NYC, but we all needed this.

Oh my god the Ocean Way Studios plugin from UAD finally has a Native version.

The podcast editing mines. Pictured section is about 38 mins.

Get out and vote progressive. Local elections are something we can still do.

Incredible. What a way to respond to all the racism against him, be louder about his culture. I don't know if I've ever seen an American candidate campaign in a language other than English or Spanish.

We're here to burgle your turts!

👀 Soooooon

New T-Rex just dropped

Dollar General, in downtown Columbus, boarded up their windows in anticipation of SNAP benefits getting taken away. Openly admitting that our societal conditions could cause more crime, while simultaneously insulting people who need assistance because of our society (and their customer base). 1/2

AudioScape has a limited pink pultec. I feel like at least somebody on here needs to know

Get it!

Just a little guy

Joking in our TTRPG chat about the giant alien we are fighting, and where its ass (or asses) might be, @youngking45.bsky.social said: "The Xenorectal fold contains non-Euclidean asses. Asses within asses.” ☠️

Just play it! Just play Vanquish already. (and watch Ravenous)

The Uhbik 2 effects suite is out from U-he. For a long time the effects in the Uhbik set were one of my secret weapons for SFX design. In particular, the granular unit and the frequency shifter were worth it alone. I hope the new ones live up to the legacy! #sounddesign #gameaudio

"45% more affordable (starting at $649)". My immediate reaction is that this point is at best only partially accurate, and at worst willfully dishonest. Previously, the Expo Floor Pass was all you needed to get in the door. For GDC 2025, it was $249. (1/5)

Cancelling Spotify and migrating to Tidal right now. Feels good.

every day people email IGN's tips line to complain about a review we wrote, insult the reviewer, and follow it up by saying we should hire them instead. and every one of those emails goes directly to me and i simply laugh at them and delete them

Special record came this week. Loads of local Columbus friends played on it, produced, engineered, mixed it. I mastered it, made the time sheet for the side sequences, and spoke directly with the cutting engineer in Cleveland (Gotta Groove Records). Get one! weepymoereen.bandcamp.com/album/scribb...

As soon as I get a second to breathe, I need to do two things: 1) finally get rid of Spotify (kept it this long because of clients) 2) get a freaking RAID backup setup.

I have signed multiple contracts where it is explicitly forbidden, so I must disagree.

There's no mastering advice, whether it be for digital or vinyl or anything else, that applies to every song/album. Unfortunately, nobody can tell you "do this every time". (Also why "AI" mastering doesn't work- it deals in data averages and has no ears). Serve the music, not a checklist.
