Amazing work by Gary Hustwit & @brendandawes.xyz

stat showing that 15.2% of the people entering are full time audio profesionals

Really appreciate the replies so far. One thing im hoping is that we can get more so that we can start looking at the differences between subsets of data. E.g. we only have 40 entries by full-time audio professionals so far.
Take the survey:

screenshot of iZotope subscription announcement with view count (27,000) and likes (15) highlighted. LOL

I don't think that announcement went as planned.

Thanks, I’ll take a look !

OK #GameAudio BlueSky, if I’m interested in finding out more about the nitty-gritty of audio in games, should I look at tutorials for WWISE or FMOD ?

‘Like an electrical gong bath!’ The Sheffield supermarket going viral for the symphonic sound of its freezers Redditors are thrilled by the Co-op on Ecclesall Road, where a magnificent drone is reminiscent of Brian Eno’s ambient music. We take a visit to the back aisles

I need a binaural recording of this…

Ah I’m a huge fan of minimum viable everything 😛 Hard to argue with that level of bang-for-your buck !

Got my ticket, despite the inevitable ISGE (Immersive Space and Gear Envy) that will ensue...

Thanks 👍

I hope you're right !

Depending on your perspective on ethical click-bait, you might want to change the title to "Why The NI Insolvency Is Great News (A Love Letter To Reaktor)" 😛

Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini - March (Official Video) YouTube video by GroundUP Music NYC

I’m a lapsed trombone player, and always felt a bit sad that it wasn’t a very… cool instrument.

I may have to revise this opinion

Infographic showing the "chessboard illusion" - a chessboard with a shadow cast across part of the image. Two squares are labelled - a white one in the shadow has the same colour intensity as a black one outside the shadow. However they appear to be quite different shades because our brains understand the context of the shadowed area. The text reads: Expectation - Matched LUFS will sound the same perceived loudness (A LUFS = B LUFS) vs. Reality - LUFS targets aren't enough (LUFS work, but perception is complicated)

The Equal LUFS Illusion

Equal LUFS means it'll sound the same loudness, right ?

Often yes, but it's not *always* that simple...

I mastered this song for Patrick De Caumette back in 2023 - so cool to see it used as the soundtrack for an award-winning video !

Sorry I never replied to your email, I recently upgraded my Mac so need to see if I can finally play with these !
