Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 27/09/2026I’ll never say new toys aren’t fun, but at this point, I have my go-to answers to most problems. Anything new would be just to see if it fits into my workflow. I also just feel some plugins are mostly marketing hype that sounds or looks cool, but is mostly a flash in the pan idea. 010
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 26/09/2026I have my core 10-20 I use for everything and hundreds more that I might remember I have for a very niche idea. And that core 10-20 most definitely has free alternatives that work just as well. 120
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 26/09/2026As someone who has spend too much money on virtual plugins and effects thinking it would improve my work, do not buy anything you don’t need. I have thousands of plugins I’ve bought or downloaded for free that I never use. 120
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 26/09/2026I do wonder if this idea could expand further with clip based editing as the focus, especially since Reaper supports putting plugins and effects on individual, separate items as well as their mixer channels. Maybe we aren’t yet ready to throw the classic mixer view out the window lol. 000
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 26/09/2026Obviously, it’s less “collab-friendly” if you’re in a position where you’re trading session files with a colleague, but I don’t find myself in this position a lot with my current projects. I can do whatever I want in my sessions and nobody is judging how every fader in the mixer is at unity. 100
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 26/09/2026Not by any reason other than: it works. I feel it’s a more modern approach that allows for more flexibility and control over traditional mixing methods. I can easily tune one part of a song or sound without having to break out the full volume automation lane for a track, which can be a nightmare. 100
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 26/09/2026A friend of mine talked about how he switched over from mixing stuff in his DAW’s mixer to mostly using clip gain and volume automation for mixing. I saw the idea and agreed that, sure, it works in concept, but feels a little scrappy and unprofessional. I’ve noticed, this is just how I work now… 110
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 21/09/2026Feel like now that Riptide is over, I’m settled into my new job, and I’m not sick anymore, I can finally get back to working on stuff. Have a couple projects I’m working on with others which are pretty cool, and some ideas for my own stuff that I should actually start. 030
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 18/09/2026I was gonna be proactive and get them early after last year, but holy fuck… 020
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 16/09/2026Is there an EQ on the game audio as well? Or is it just pulled back enough that it doesn’t matter? 100
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 16/09/2026Why did the EQ curve on the screen always have so much bass and like no 6k? 100
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 14/09/2026Sorry for not being around too much yesterday at Riptide. I was bedridden and feeling awful. Would have loved to say hi to more people this year, but I was so busy. 030
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 12/09/2026My early spec cam sets felt good. I started getting tired later on and missed some good plays. I am curious to ask again if the community has shifted more towards liking overhead cam or individual players perspectives being featured more in a game, ratio-wise. 011
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 10/09/2026How to be busy at a LAN year after year while never competing ever? The amount of volunteering I’ve agreed to lol. So, I’m not going to bring my own equipment to record stuff for fun this year. I want to spend quality time with people in between obligations. 090
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 04/09/2026Take it easy, friend. Look forward to seeing you at the next event. 010
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 26/08/2026For transparency for those how still use the former bird app, I unfollowed everyone, unliked all posts, and removed all my posts and reposts. Nothing personal, just leaving them nothing. Keeping the account so no one takes it or something. 040
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 21/08/2026I just realized the the only EP I ever made becomes 10 years old next month. Crazy 010
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 13/08/2026Be sure to make sure it’s actually checked off. Myself and many others are noticing that when you go back and look, it’s still checked on, even after I turned it off. Had to uncheck it like 4 times before it stayed off. 020
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 04/08/2026Thats the thing. In a bubble compared to everything after it, sure. But you have to take into consideration the context of the time. Splatoon’s story modes weren’t anything special. Octo Expansion was the dev team trying something and it was a stepping stone to everything to come after. 090
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 04/08/2026Oh, I finally understand why the doppelgänger and Observation Duty/Exit 8 style horror is popular rn… I’m so dumb for not seeing the connection…. 011
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 30/07/2026Busting out the soldering iron to fix my old DJ controller. God, it feels so good to repair stuff yourself lol 010
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 29/07/2026Been waiting for the nina collab to come out for awhile, especially after they’ve been playing it in live sets 000
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 23/07/2026Ultimately, if you’re putting yourself in your song choices, your transitions, your remixes, your mashups, and everyone is having a good time, you’re doing DJing right. I just wish people put themselves into their performances more and people saw DJing more than just a person playing songs. 010
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 23/07/2026DJs feel they need to be the star and in some cases like festivals, they are. But no one cares who you are in the club if you’re keeping the vibe going. It’s a weird line between being a personality and letting your performance speak for itself. 100
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 23/07/2026And you get this disconnect where DJs think they need to be MCs, or doing too main effects or sounds to make things more fun. I think there’s a lot of creativity in DJing. Reading the room, playing songs that keep everyone going, finding fun ways to transition, and mash songs together. 100
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 23/07/2026It comes in different forms, obviously: clubs, festivals, weddings, parties. Each has different skills and different intents. That’s where you get this divide in public opinion, with a lot of people thinking that they’re just glorified aux cord hogs in the passenger seat who’s playing their music. 100
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 23/07/2026Thinking about how DJing left the underground hip-hop and electronic music scene to become a wildly different performance today in the mainstream that makes many people even question its validity as an art form. 110
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 20/07/2026Storylines are the big one, to me. A lot of this is good advice in a technical sense, how to be more succinct and expressive. Finding that story, even if it’s simple, is what separates good comms from just saying what’s happening. What does this match mean for each team? Make the audience care. 041
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 15/07/2026Having a weird nostalgia for chunky hardware. Reject slim and sleek. Give me some chunk with some charm to it. 010
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 14/07/2026I wasn’t expecting 100 downloads in a little over a day and hitting over 200 downloads so far. Thanks for downloading the sound pack. I’m happy that our work will live on. Never stop creating. 040
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 03/07/2026I thought about it, but I didn’t include it because it’s technically a clip from a stream. I was really making sure only stuff I had the rights to were in it. 110
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 01/07/2026I’m happy the PJEG sample pack got over a hundred downloads in just over a day. Feels good to put out something for people to just use as they want. I hope the sounds get used in more projects so that they can get more mileage. 030

I’ll have it up somewhere as a free download sometime this week, I promise. 050
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 25/06/2026Where does everyone keep getting this one stock spotlight sound effect? I’ve heard it so much and it bothers me every time I hear it. It’s like my own personal Wilhelm scream or metal pipe sfx. Idk where people find it and why it’s the only stick spotlight sound anyone uses. 120
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 20/06/2026I can say that it was TADC now, but I think you could have assumed this. Still reeling btw 150
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 14/06/2026I love how I only watched one NBA game all season. I picked the right one, I guess lol 110
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 08/06/2026Depends on the coffee. I lean more towards cold brew if I want chilled black coffee. 000
Justin @pipedreamdx.com · 08/06/2026Been having a rare occurrence when a piece of media directly points a finger at me and says “This. This is you. You are this and this is what happens when you are this.” A life-shattering mirror put directly in front of you showing you everything. I’ve actually just been spiraling nonstop since. 160
