Sound Design tip: In order to make your sound design reel stand out in a crowded market, forgo redesigning overdone clips and games. Do a re-design of Louis Malle's 1981 masterpiece "My Dinner with Andre"

Little timer saver, if you set up your sound library as one big database in the Reaper Media Explorer, you can skip waiting for it to scan all the files every time you want to look through it. (esp useful the larger the library gets)

If I was a big pair of hands with huge eyes in each palm, I wouldn't throw objects at the player that they can then throw back into my eye killing me in 3 hits. But thats just me.

I'm going to play with it some more over the next week, but if you're looking for an upgrade from Reaper's stock EQ, I'd recommend the js effect ReEQ - Parametric Equaliser by Nitsuj. It's just got a nice resizable interface, and it's free on the forums.

Personal favourite trope is when british media has to replace what should be a baseball bat with a cricket bat. They serve the same purpose but its just inherently so much sillyer

It's been interesting to see lots of game audio folk feeling like they have to share everything and be as visible (audible?) as possible to ya know, maybe get a possible sniff at an interview But also worth noting is who's actually able to afford to do that extra unpaid work?

Open Question for #Gameaudio / #SoundDesign people: In your opinion, what's the difference between a plugin that's good for game audio sound design VS a plugin that's good for music production?

I really like the idea of MetaSounds (Especially the ease of having a fully featured audio system built into UE) But in practice, I just can't imagine trying to maintain an audio system built like a modular synth across a whole project.

Decided to release the repo for my distortion Plugin. I'm not currently planning on maintaining it, and It's my first JUCE project so it's not as good as it could be but my hope is it might help someone get to grip with JUCE just a little easier. github.com/CalaFlan/Cal...
