Hi-passed most of that out and added some reverb. Think it's fairly convincing. Will post a vid later.
True true. I had hoped for a little more cover from traffic as the spot is in a bit of a dip in the landscape. But it's cold at night so obviously the sound bounces down.

Recording river at night so I can get a really clean recording of... distant traffic, dogs barking in backyards, aeroplane fly over, fireworks for some reason... All for @sircalalot.bsky.social upcoming game Curse of cards. Wishlist here store.steampowered.com/app/4207000/...

Gbr versus Canada in the gold medal curling match at the winter Olympics
No idea why this is so compelling. It's like snooker and a tie breaker in a tennis match rolled into one. Maybe... I dunno. Watching it though! #curling #Olympics #gbr

Worked out ok. Bit of a hole in the middle of the image for anything too close (probably fairly obvious statement for this set up). I might just try stuffing some thick walking socks in as a baffle tomorrow. See if it makes a difference what the baffle is.
have any workflows to make this side of things faster. Maybe iβll just upload clips only with no talking next time.
The rig technique is one i found on this blog: spacewalkaudio.co.uk/lavalier-mic... the dental floss technique seemed cheap enough to at least try.
Iβm not going to make a video each time i do a record, per say, but as this is the first one i thought iβd put something out there to make myself accountable. It has taken quite a bit of time, doing the video side of things, as i donβt really
Today I started what I hope to be a new habit. Taking my lunch time walk to just record something small, each day.
Very much inspired by @fabisound.bsky.social Tiny Town Tuesdays and also the excellent interviews with Arc Raiders audio team I watched recently.

Hey game developers,
I am a learning sound designer/mixing/audio engineer (the whole pack) and I would like to work on a indie game title that will be released on steam/PC/console to make my portfolio better and get experience. I will try my best to make it high quality

There's a lot of lessons in here but maybe the most pertinent one to everyone is, do not comply in advance.

Guardian article outlining how Leon's is closing down Manchester and Brighton restaurants.
Leon's are closing down the literal 2 Leon's I go to with any regularity at all. Last year at Develop I think I literally survived on Leon's at breakfast every day :/ need another reliable vegan meal between Piccadilly and port st beer house Manchester for audio drinks.
AAA credits take long enough. Although it would be amusing and possibly fairly devious to force some credits to explain their contribution. "We released what?... I mean... I manage the team that manages the team that manages the team that made that game... I mean the game was entirely my idea"
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
This is a sound demo of mine from this year focused towards platformer, coop and metroidvania style games.
If you're looking for sound design and/or implementation in your game, feel free to reach out, I'd love to work together.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Support the video game workers who were unfairly fired by Rockstar for unionizing: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...
"No one should be punished for being part of a union or for speaking honestly about their work."
Tomorrow evening is the last Manchester audio drinks of the year.
It's at 6pm (although I'm likely going to be there a little later)
At the port st beer house. Northern quarter.

Cloud storage. Where do you get yours? I've had a modest amount, i used one drive and the bonus was i got word etc... stuff for free as i saw it. Alongside the massive layoffs and the jamming AI into every app, i don't feel much like paying their increased price for M365 anymore. Where should i go?
