  1. Hey y’all. Question for all the sound designer folks out there… what tips, tricks, workflows, or plug-ins have made your life easier?

    I’m getting back into sound design with a song I’m working on and honestly, I forgot how much fun this stuff is. Been experimenting with movement, space, textures, transitions, automation, all of it.

    I’ve heard of plug-ins that can make sounds feel super immersive and almost “3D” around your head. I know Logic Pro has built-in spatial audio tools and binaural stuff. Curious what y’all are using these days, especially for:
    • Easy automation workflows
    • Creative movement/panning
    • Ambient textures
    • Sound transitions
    • Accessible workflows if any blind producers are on here

    I’m doing this project in REAPER right now and just wanna learn from everybody’s setups and experiences.

  2. Hey guys. Curious what methods on Windows y’all are using for this. Let’s say I have a huge library of sound effects on a drive… what are y’all using to sort through everything easily, search by keywords, preview sounds quickly, and still do all the normal copy/paste and file management stuff?

    I know about REAPER’s Media Explorer, but I honestly haven’t used it in a long time. Just wondering what else is out there these days, especially anything accessible and fast to navigate.

  3. In case anyone on here finds it useful, I wrote a cursed little protocol converter that translates OSC to OCA/AES70 commands.

    In my case, using for some very dumb control of d&b amps, but theoretically should be pretty flexible 😂

  4. Does the Fedi crew of audio people have a recommendation for a free, preferably FOSS but if not at least a trusted and non-data collecting source, capable audio editor for Android? Doesn't need to have a plethora of features, but at least the ability to edit single files, cut, trim, normalize, compress, filter etc. And preferably export in different formats.

  6. Anyone using the Digitone, Digitakt, or other similar Elektron boxes know if there is a basic peak meter somewhere in the UI?

    Or is that a kind of thing that makes no sense to use on a synth and instead only on a recording target or destination elsewhere? I'm trying to figure something out in the context of the compressor, in terms of a reference point to adjust each track.

  8. It seems I've run into this weird EastWest Opus cut-off bug, where it just decides to not sustain all the notes I play. It's reported at vi-control.net/community/threa and none of the suggested fixes fix it. Super annoying and quite disappointing of such an expensive piece of software.

    They're taking the complete opposite extreme position but even I have to admit that this is pretty funny! 🤭😕🤷‍♂️

    In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator

    "Who knew listening to a banana sounded so good?"

  16. #LinuxAudio friends - are any of you using #HarrisonMixbus, and are any of you also familiar with #AirwindowsConsolidated

    I've tried a demo of Mixbus (you just download and install it and run it in demo mode) and much looks familar, but crickey does it feel complicated in comparison to #BitwigStudio and despite the low entry cost I am happy with my current workflow (Bitwig).

    What am I really asking? I'm thinking about #AudioEngineering and #MasteringAudio. I am confident in doing this for my own tracks, but when it comes to applying any sort of editorial decisions to tracks made by anyone else I find myself unsure and thinking "maybe they wanted it that way."

    I would like to develop my skills and be able to say with any confidence that I have any clue of what I am doing and I am reluctant to throw myself down a rabbit hole of click-bait titled YT videos.

  17. The fact that holding a microphone that's not designed to be held (like lavs or BT clip mics) while recording a video, is a trend, is driving me a bit bonkers. As I understand it, it comes from the same place as omitting capitalization - a need to look like you don't care, it's no big deal, you don't follow the silly rules of old.

    And every time I see it my face and body starts twitching while I try to act cool like I don't care. Just... attach it, please...

  18. @ve7fim It seems to be common lore among people working with #Dante that the ”dumber” the switches are the better: All kinds of traffic shaping tricks tend to wreak havoc on predictable packet latencies, but YMMV. #audioengineering

  19. RE: social.vivaldi.net/@BendikJoha

    I updated to Tahoe 26.2. No issues with performance, bugs, hangs, battery life or crashes yet. Adobe suite, Screen Studio and all of my plugins are still working well. Phew 😮‍💨
