Totally! I really like the think about what is “idiomatic” to a particular tool?

🎛️ Daniel Dehaan 🔊 @danielrdehaan.com · 28/03/2025

Not necessarily a better sounding product, but I think the tools we choose can definitely have a major impact on our work experience. It amazes me the quality of sounds people are able to produce with even the DAWs like BandLab or Sound Trap.

I've been thinking about how DAWs empower or limit creativity. This made me curious to know what DAWs you are using. So...I made a form! Should take less than 5 minutes to fill out and then we can finally all know for certain: Which DAW is truly the best DAW? Haha! form.typeform.com/to/BB5NsDJT?...

The Reaper community is so awesome! The software itself is so customizable, just about any workflow can be optimized. Here is a new script from Leon Beilmann for setting up and managing tracks with .csv files. Could be a huge time saver for folks! youtu.be/A_xs1wD1Ccs?...

How is this different from automating the tempo or using tempo markers?

This is the coolest! Reminds me of old iMax movie that I probably saw when I was 14.

Maybe an extension of the typical “SFX” and “Music” volume sliders given provided to the user in the game’s settings? Breaking up SFX into something like “critical” and “non critical”?

🎛️ Daniel Dehaan 🔊 @danielrdehaan.com · 17/12/2024

I tried to answer that question near the end of the article. To summarize here “The challenges [likely] fall into three main categories: computational cost, implementation complexity, and creative control.”

🎛️ Daniel Dehaan 🔊 @danielrdehaan.com · 17/12/2024

Haha! Dang! I thought maybe you’d be the one to save me and I could let this thing pass off to someone else. Don’t be surprised if I end up quoting some of your posts if I do end up writing this article.

I just discovered @dzlo.bsky.social posts/account. So many thought provoking threads about #sound and #gameaudio. 🤯

This is a great thread! Thanks for sharing. Maybe this is what the next article in the series should cover. Wanna write it?

🎛️ Daniel Dehaan 🔊 @danielrdehaan.com · 17/12/2024

If I were writing a book instead of an article I would have loved to spend more time exploring the question of “How did we get here?” Especially given that on early consoles audio was rendered in real time. Then we switched in search of greater “fidelity”. Which kind of ironic in a way.

Which roads do you travel in your creative work? Any other W.A. Mathieu readers out there?

🎛️ Daniel Dehaan 🔊 @danielrdehaan.com · 10/12/2024

To me, it seems like he is saying: don’t worry about originality. Instead, be curious and seek to learn as much as you can, as deeply as you can, always.

100

🎛️ Daniel Dehaan 🔊 @danielrdehaan.com · 10/12/2024

In the end, he advises his readers to travel both roads simultaneously and not to worry about originality, for if “you have passion for the truth about yourself, originality will percolate up through your work. When you go for the truth, originality takes care of itself.”

100

🎛️ Daniel Dehaan 🔊 @danielrdehaan.com · 10/12/2024

The fast road is for the “young and spry,” he says, and the high road is “slow going,” but one where the traveler learns the value of apprenticeship.

🎛️ Daniel Dehaan 🔊 @danielrdehaan.com · 10/12/2024

"The Listening Book" by W.A. Mathieu continues to be such a rich source of creative renewal and guidance. Today I read his chapter on originality, where he talks about there being two roads toward discovery: fast and high.

Working out some of the bugs with how #ReaMOD uses Take Envelopes in #Reaper to update local or global event parameters for specific #FMOD event instances. This kind of work always feels like three steps forward one step back. But it feels so good once everything is working smoothly!

It is. Pretty simple, but gets the job done imo. What do you mean by “tempo weights”?

I can only make a guess as to how their software works based upon my understanding of how other LLMs work. Long story short though, I don’t know. Anyone else know?

All good. We all do it. Thanks for owning it. And I’m totally with you, plenty of things to have strong opinions on with A.I., or more accurately LLMs. But one of my favorite people once told me…

I have no affiliation with this product and like you I am curious about the creative “happy accident” possibilities of this tech.

Don’t necessarily disagree with you, but to did you read all the info all the link? This things goes way beyond creating music.
