^obviously depend on the plugin

lowend rolloff, stereo collapse (before pan), early refl instead of dry, perhaps a combination of FastDistance + high-shelf? It gets pretty much lowpassey. Otherwise was very impressed with Slew2!!!

Well-tuned multiplicative noise outperforms DitherFloat and also thematic and tunable. Didn't expected that at all, so Selene and Lens couldn't get DitherFloat to work for them.

The new DACs where you can select the AA filter and make it linphase are AWESOME for microdynamics

Had a cursed idea, hate how this just works though lmao

A small program in D that wraps file handles in a type that gives them C++ stream semantics.

haha. I took opBinary!"/" for path append from C++. "/this/is/" / "fine" => "/this/is/fine" can also use .append

There are a new crop of audio plugin producer, they are making like 15 different reverb algos in 3 month while also making plenty of other software, yet they will loudly claim "quality over quantity" in the vibe-coded websites. Well no stop the bs, you didn't choose quality AT ALL.

I see so many product presentation where the text is AI, the blog post is AI, the mailing list is AI. It's unbearable to read all the AI-isms. If you won't talk yourself to your customers, why expect them to pay attention?

Ah yes, the build.zig can do anything... that's why node and dub have more declarative recipes.

Just wanted to drop by and say: LENS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE MASTERING COMPRESSOR I HAVE EVER USED! I can not believe what I hear. I never heard my tracks coming together and sounding present like this. Also had no idea about Spectral compression existing. Can't wait to get the full version.

Psypan 2 the swiss-army knife of STEREO, is our only plug-in with a mode menu. Here is an exclusive pro-tip: hold your left-mouse button and move the mouse over icons to change pan mode while playing (though not all control map nicely).

Auburn Sounds @auburnsounds.com · 01/08/2026

Haha another believer !!! Not all spectral compressors! It's because it's not FFT spectral but custom-spectral-transform compression. You can find such in Voxengo TEOTE, PeakBuster, and possibly DMG Unlimited.

Despite being a 2011 plug-in GFM Psypan was still used by some, so we make a giga-update to it to make PSYPAN 2. It is a new kind of product that let you switch between 17 pan modes to respond to what the mix situation is calling for. All the story here: www.auburnsounds.com/blog/Psypan-...

WASM has relaxed truncation float -> int for vectors but not for scalars. A small missed opportunity to leverage UB everytime the developer does (int)floatValue

Also a nice workaround for avoiding Phobos

Somehow it became worse this year... Still can't believe the recent changes. GIMP has been killing it with destrucive filter, but now I have to remember to flatten the filter else it isn't intuitive.

There's a new post on the official Dlang Blog. This one is about Parin, my 2D game engine. It's a relatively long one, but well worth the read. It talks about things like memory management, entity systems and metaprogramming. Link: blog.dlang.org/2026/05/29/i... #gamedev @oDinista

Good take. But still, if there is a proliferation of slightly better techniques by AI-confused people, the mental landscapes ends up worse

But are the prototypes going to create any value other than for one person? I did implement a few prototypes I had in my mind but the amount of stuff to fix so that I can be happy is too high to pursue them.

Any sufficiently complicated discussion about taste that ignores sociology contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Bourdieu.

Well I used to believe that about DitherFloat, and now I think it's one of the best thing you have done! I want to put it everywhere too eventually. What about denormalization? You don't flush to zero? 🤔
