Great write-up. Still can't believe I got to interview Uematsu-san 11 years ago and see two Distant Worlds shows in a single day. He's such an awesome dude.

Dolly Parton was a sterling example of a human being, and we'll never get another woman quite like her. She said just last week that she had so much more she wanted to achieve, but I hope she rests in peace knowing how many millions of people's lives she touched in a positive way.

PRODUCTION TIP: Sometimes you can automate the automation, using #ReaperDAW 's Automation Items feature to copy/paste/loop envelope shapes! .....but sometimes, manual volume/automation editing is also needed. Always worth experimenting with both! (tutorial in alt text) #gameaudio

Screenshot of an audio clip where I needed to manually adjust the volume envelope, vs. some automation lanes where I used Reaper's "automation items" feature to automatically apply the same curve over and over again every measure

Menu showing how to get to Automation Items. Just create any kinda track envelope, select the time region of where you wanna save/copy/loop your envelope points

Then rightclick --> Automation Items --> Insert New and your automation will now behave like a looping audio clip! You can move around the entire automation clip, loop it, timestretch it, copy/paste it elsewhere in the track or even to other envelopers/tracks. Your edits to the automation item will propagate to every other instance of the loop, but if you copy/paste, each one will remain unique.

And you can also save them if you want!

PRODUCTION TIP: In Melodyne 5, remember you can easily add shortcuts for almost anything! File > Prefs > Shortcuts, click what you want, then just press whatever key you wanna register. I use Pitch, Drift and Note Separation more than anything, so I just set those to 1 2 3. EZPZ! #gamemusic

Screenshot of Melodyne 5 preferences --> Shortcuts window.

This tip seems random but it seriously saved me half an hour of clicks in just one night!!

PRODUCTION TIP: [photo] If I were to guess how often, when I turn on a synth, that I actually USE the result! Results *greatly* skewed bc some synths get way more attempts than others. But just to give an idea, if you're interested in hardware! Synth names & explanations in ALT text #gamemusic

90% = Moog SubPhatty. Great for bass drones, sub bass

65% = Arturia Minibrute 2S. Great for bass sequences, sequences, some perc loops too

40% = Arturia Microfreak. Bit of a shocker, but when I thought about it, I realized there's patches I've designed here that are indispensable and live rent-free in my imagination; I think of them as part of my palette just the same as I'd think of a trombone or oboe. Specifically, a synth low strings patch and a few blip arps

30% = Korg Minilogue. Artificially low % because this is the FIRST synth I always turn on when I want anything. It might even be my favorite really - but because I use it so much, the % is lower and the "time risk" is high. Still, this places it evenly with software synths in time risk and versatility. Amazing for arps and pads; not so great for bass stuff though, IMO

15% = Korg MS-20mini. Uh oh!! Hopefully not too offensive a score, but basically it's the biggest gamble of all. Aggressive, unruly, and inherently a bit "low fi" sound, but it's got more vibe and life than anything... Just ridiculously hard to predict or control. But when it hits, it WILL be a signature sound. Great for bass, drones, FX, and ultra vibey arps

#REAPER TIP: Do not use characters like /, \, ? or ! in your track names! Anything incompatible with Windows filenames can be a headache later on, if you wanna auto-export stems. (seems obvious but I'm looking at an old project file and, apparently it wasn't... 🤦‍♂️) #reaperDAW #gameaudio

Dans Star Wars Outlaws, @wilbertroget.bsky.social a dissimulé, dans son thème de Lando Calrissian, le thème trompeusement joyeux de Bespin et le motif héroïque des rebelles. Une manière de dépeindre astucieusement la dualité de Lando entre faux semblant et résistance. La musique raconte qui il est.🎵

“Lando’s Redemption” from #StarWarsOutlaws DLC is my most melodically complex piece yet – referencing Williams’ Lando & Rebel motifs as well as @joneverist.bsky.social 's Rebel theme from Outlaws, to convey his suave veneer & grave sense of duty. Here's a #gamemusic analysis of the themes!
