Learning about how @audiokinetic.bsky.social WWISE does its custom layouts using Visual Studio's Resource Editor.

A visual layout of the Transient Shaper plugin for WWISE providing a visual organization of significance and associated values.

Hey fam! I'm still making Unreal Engine features! In this case a feature I've been wanting to make for a while, a Transient Shaper effect! I'm hoping to make several such features in the coming weeks! Check out the listing here: www.fab.com/listings/db4...

"Transient Shaper Pro" text over a waveform colored in blue, white, and pink.

Definitely needed changing!

ADDAC Systems makes cool gear, but upon installing my new modules, I open the little bag of screws they sent me to find this complete insane collection of mismatched screws! It's like they grabbed a handful from a mixed bin without looking! 🤣 #modular #synth #WhatIsHappeningAtAddac #eurorack

Two modular synth modules laid on bubble wrap. Each has 4 screw holes for securing the module into a rack or case.

A collection of mismatched screws grouped by type. Some screws are unique, some paired, some are a group of six, another is a group of 13.

Found this in a book on game dev, seems legit:

Shows a chapter called "Making a Game" with three sections: "Getting Started [...] Adding Sound Effects [...]" and "Summary"

Also here's some more hand studies.

Dan Reynolds@dannthr· Feb 19

Study night with @meganimation.bsky.social focused on hand studies. I decided to animate between a few of the references.

Some old landscape studies from @meganimation.bsky.social's study night events. Nicker poster paints on watercolor paper. It's been a while since I tried to study landscapes, I should get back into it.

Hey folks, attached is a corrected diagram of the UE Audio source render gain staging. The correction will more accurately show the Post-Effect Bus Send as preceding the Attenuation process rather than afterward.

Diagram showing the UE Audio source render gain staging withe the Post-Effect Send before the Distance Attenuation stage rather than after it as was previously described.

Here's an old diagram of the Unreal Audio Engine I made a while back. It's since changed, but most of it is still accurate: #UE5 #UnrealAudio #MetaSound

Inside me there are two wolves and they’re named Williams. Inside me there are two Williams? #BookHaul #Biography #Williams

Two books, one a biography of composer John Williams the other the biography of animator Richard Williams.

Things are getting tense between me and Google search.

The image shows a search question "when did sandwiches become popular in the us" with Google responding "Did you mean: when did sandwiches became popular in the us" with an emphasis on "became."

Not being glib, just constantly reminded of this.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

A long, long time ago, I used to teach game audio. Including the Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine. This is how students were greeted on test day.

A white board with "Wave Works Interactive Sound Engine Test of Doom Today!" written on it.

Not sure if you saw this, @nadiaudio.bsky.social, but Audio-Scape recently sold a pink variant of a Pultec Passive Tube EQ clone for Breast Cancer Research!
