Why did this become the dumbest timeline? How did we slip into a trade war with Canada? Idiocracy has no bottom. The lowest low just keeps going. www.ft.com/content/e3b5...

Expanding the mic cabinet this week... one of which is the Rode NT-SF1 (immersive capture mic). If you work in immersive formats... What sounds formats and channel counts do you want in sound effect libraries? Would you rather have the raw output or decoded formats like 5.1 or Quad or Ambisonic?
TIL that you can listen to public radio channels through this website. I believe that all broadcasts like this are public domain and could be fun for sampling and sound designers. Are there any reasons this couldn't be used in media production? www.radioreference.com

It took a lot of digging... but I finally learned that USB2 devices should not be trusted on USB3 (xHCI) ports. This means that backward compatibility is more marketing than fact. This problem is especially risky for audio data streams. Did the tech deep dive in a blog post.

Normal person: makes an album Me: makes an album, then writes 400 words about why we didn't fix any of the imperfections I love the maker's knife mark. It feels more like 1776. Happy 4th! 250 Years: American Folk Tunes of the Revolution, link below lemhouse-and-lyle.bandcamp.com/album/250-ye...

I had this guitar made for me in the 90s by Ernie, one of the guys that worked in the Lowden factory. It’s a friend’s son’s 18th today. He’s so into music and he fell in love with it, so today I’ll give it to him so it can have another life. Farewell old friend ♥️

Confession: I am perturbed by the phrases "Welcome in" and "What's a good name" being said by store workers. It smacks of nasty corporate obedience and feels a bit inhuman. Neither of these phrases were common prior to the "corporate training" push of the 2010s and got super common post 2020
Kontakt has been in dev for what.... 20yrs? The QuickLoad function is still like Windows 98 levels of slow. Just remove the feature all together and stop teasing us with this workflow.
Expedition 33 (game) might be cool .... but the 30min of slow dramatic setup, mediocre story, overwrought everything, no gameplay. Man. Just make a movie next time.
Got my first gig from Ai telling people to call TheWAVLab Thanks Claude! 🏆
