I really like being able to save a plugin chain as a preset I can flip between while auditioning sounds in sound miner
I got already pre made chains for a variety of tasks from restoration/clean up to full on design chains and it's cool to just flip between processes on a variety of sounds ☕️

RECORDING WHALES IN 3D – Take my word for it. Don't try to build a PVC pipe frame, attach 8 hydrophones to it, and then sink it down 100 ft. It is almost impossible. But I made what are (probably) the world's first 3D recordings of humpback whales. Listen here: thomasrexbeverly.com/products/haw...

I don't normally get to cut this kind of content building a scene in a sci fi/action type project. Feels nice to work with some "real sounds" that have a grounding effect in all this sci-fi craziness

hearing 2 people in old recordings that are
a) no longer with us due to suicide
b) no longer in my life for reasons I'll never know because the effort to stay connected wasn't ever reciprocated
got me feeling pretty sad right now

It's also not "just another" extinction, it's the first from mainland Europe in centuries. CENTURIES.
And there will be others within our lifetime.
That's biodiversity loss.

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

Anybody else playing SHf? The f stands for "fucking awesome" and I don't have anyone to talk specifics with without spoiling it for them �
I got 2 games on my next to play list at the moment: both set in Japan!
I’ve been a die hard #SilentHill fan for a long time so #SilentHillf is first up
Ghost of Yotei will have to wait for now
