Ummi had her first beach day. She did really good and played with lots of doggies. She is still unable to trust the ocean.

She stayed at my house and can confirm she is the sweetest thing. Super cuddly and loving. She seemed pretty chill around my cats as well. If anyone is looking for a new family member, you’ll be lucky to have her!

I was definitely stoked. Only realized how painful the process was in hindsight after working on several other projects. In typical noob form I made it such more painful on myself and the software I had to use at the time was an old version of Soundforge which did the trick but was less than ideal.

Paul O’Rourke @8ighty6ix.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
The waveform’s were so solid and pure that you really couldn’t trust them visually whatsoever and required a ton of relative volume graphing. There was a fair amount of whispering in that game too so it just meant that volume graphing those two characters took a lot of attention and patience.

Paul O’Rourke @8ighty6ix.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
It was my first gig so I would have done it a bit smarter if faced with the challenge today, could have been less painful. That being said it was fine back then because I was just super excited to be doing sound work on a video game. Elmo was tough for the opposite reason.

Paul O’Rourke @8ighty6ix.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
Cookie Monster was difficult because all of his lines had extremely sharp transients equidistantly spaced through the entire line. If the relative Volume was low on a line, which was a lot, it required bringing those transients down before I could bring the volume up on the line.

Paul O’Rourke @8ighty6ix.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
Volume graphing Elmo and Cookie Monster VO is still the most difficult editing work I’ve done.

Audio people are so monetarily undervalued. What can we do to change this? Should a Principal Concept Artist be making 30% more than a Principal Sound Designer? How do we get equality among artists pay?

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?
