I can't believe Takanaka is coming to Australia next month but not Brisbane T^T

I won't be able to get to the Melbourne or Sydney shows and I'm absolutely gutted 💔

Unlock it? Who put the lock there, bus company? Who locked it? Why is it locked?!

I'm sure it's more complex than it seems! A number of plugins (specifically when in the CLAP format, it seems?) capture my spacebar presses when active, even if they don't do anything with that input. Drives me nuts when I can't drag an EQ node around and hit play/stop while I do it!

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Feature request/beg for @kilohearts.com — please make the search bar capture text input automatically when you click to add a new effect. The number of times that I have clicked, started typing, and accidentally fired off a bunch of Reaper shortcuts in a row is frankly embarrassing

I'm not sure if my above idea is how it is handled, but I've got an old Rotel hi-fi unit from the '70s that has pop-less analogue mute buttons. I guess most cases where you'd want it, it ought to be built into something else?

It would need to be an active circuit, but I imagine using a capacitor to slew limit the gate on a transistor you could create a quick "fade" in/out...

I suppose this is a solved problem within some complex pieces of equipment, but doesn't have enough of a market to be a cheap standalone product

High Score 2025 - FMOD DEEP DIVE: Under the Hood: Technical Sound Design in Cozy Caravan
High Score 2025 - FMOD DEEP DIVE: Under the Hood: Technical Sound Design in Cozy Caravan YouTube video by VMDO

My and Aaron's High Score talk from last year is finally online 👀 It's a deep dive into the Cozy Caravan FMOD project, and turns out there's some wacky shit in there. Unfortunately the sound is via the PA not direct, but most of it still comes across pretty well www.youtube.com/watch?v=18CV...

Sure love it when "bread now comes with a mandatory free doodad — wow, doodads are suddenly very popular!" meets "in unrelated news, bread costs are going up"

Isn't that a $25/year increase, or am I missing something?

Remember, you can lock onto your opponents by pressing the R1 button. Try locking onto this post now.

Ok. Well done. That's all I can teach you. I hear there are other posters that can teach you more advanced techniques out there, but you'll have to find them yourself. Good luck!

As a sound designer it activates my fight-or-flight response seeing so many petrol-powered leaf blowers in one place

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

I don't know who needs to hear this but the classic whistly noise you associate with radio tuning is the sound of the bias oscillator in a tape deck creating electromagnetic waves that interfere with AM radio at broadcast frequencies that are harmonics of the bias frequency.
