I watched the first half of The Chair Company and I have absolutely no idea what is going to happen! Which is a cool feeling that is both rare, and sometimes accompanied with the (post LOST) worry that they will not stick the landing. But I have heard it absolutely does.

I need to get on the Front Line Assembly train (pretty sure you have been telling me this for 5 years)

The degree to which this crap is ruining every aspect of human life and providing nothing of benefit. Our time on earth is the most valuable thing and now we spend it fighting this, questioning our reality. Websites don't work, calls aren't real, photos aren't real, emails aren't real.

Well that's... That's just murder I think?

And unfortunately everyone should be very wary of any new/unknown developers in 2026 with all this "vibe coding" genAI nonsense. Test everything.

Yeah I am basically there. I haven't bought much of anything this year.

I have to at least test it with the trial, very literally my job to test limiters haha. But my goal is always to beat a "new" plugin with something I already have.

Damnit, Softube put out a new limiter plugin. I like Softube stuff so I'll have to try it in case it's magic, but 1) no money for limiters 2) don't want to have more limiters. Fear the fall sales. Can I put VSTs in my car's gas tank instead of gas? Can you use VSTs as a down payment on a house?

It's Off-Book rehearsal yet again and I as always I must ask: does *anyone* know my lines? My theatre people out there know. Just because I've been doing this for 25 years doesn't mean putting down the script is an easy day for anybody haha.

Hugely difficult. Thank you for doing this work. Sheesh this is complicated stuff. Great reporting.

Yeah, part of art and culture is telling your friends like, "hey this is a cool thing you might enjoy"

reported on something that was really difficult for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons in a lot of different ways.

That's easily the craziest part of a thing that is all crazy. The cross is scary

It also has some aliasing. Remember this is a recreation of earlier digital tech, so reach for that when it's appropriate. As always, sound design and mixing: you do whatever you want!

The free Apogee "Soft Limit" clipper plugin is back because of this PA merger. I've had that for a long time and I urge you to use caution for any mixbus or mastering applications. It has its place (like Orange Clip) BUT: it is aggressive/digital sounding, easy to overdo, acts b4 the meters show.

I almost buy one of those like every 2 months. This is not helping!

This stuff makes me feel like a crazy person. This man did not invent anything. He's a tech CEO and investor. People actually think Altman and Musk are doing this stuff themselves and it makes me nuts.

Looks cool! Yeah I am in the same boat in that I already own Pro-Q3, but I still use Nova sometimes when I want to get more specific with the dynamic eq attack/release settings for example.

Two of the very best free plugins for music: Compressor: www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-kotelnik... EQ/Dyn-EQ: www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-nova/ I use both for mastering, and it is astonishing that they are available for free. #mastering #musicmastering #audioproduction #musicproduction #audioplugins #musictech

I think you mean the co-composer of the score to the completely unclassifiable film "Ravenous".

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Boring answer but it was definitely the art of Stephen Gammell.

The cover of scary stories to tell in the dark. It depicts a bald man growing out of the earth with no lips, a bloody red nose, a blue streak on the skull, and a pipe, near a graveyard and a hut.

Illustration (b&w) depicting a scared woman from whose face hundred of spiders are hatching, with blood streaming from the wound.

Illustration (b&w, watercolor?) depicting a screaming man hugging an apparition. Kts very dreamlike and whispy.

B&w illustration of a ddcatkng woman with no eyes, hair falling out, and receding lips, with a spaghetti string top.

Witcher 3 automatically updated to the "remaster" on PS5 without asking us and now my partner has to reallocate skills to some new skill tree in a game she's been playing for 50 hours. I don't understand why this is how this was handled. Google search shows we aren't the only ones annoyed.
