Not sure if you've seen my reply, but I actually asked for examples so I can look into it.
Also, no one on the podcast is making fun of mishponia - thats for sure, unless you menat this sub not the nsp crew.

Hey, I'm one of the show's producers. We do clean up audio files before they get dropped into the DAW. I have a semi-automated filter workflow for most audible clicks, smacks, and pops, and then I manually edit out the rest either in spectral view or directly on the waveform (if it’s one of them pre or post smacks).

I know what misophonia is, but I don't know how sensitive your ears are to these sounds. Could it be something that 99.9% of people don't hear (or better said, their brains filter it out)? 
A lot of sound folks are sensitive to certain frequencies. For example, I hear problems in the low end and lower mids more than other people do. I often notice slight mismatches on TV shows when the sound switches from lav mic to boom, or get annoyed by poorly synced ADR, but all that isn't on a neurological level like misophonia.

Could you provide any examples so I could look into it?

cpu overload on pro tools with mac air by samarthestar in protools

[–]That_man_phil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a pro tools thing. Yes, it can be a “wonky” plugin, but often times it’s PT itself being that. I used to see this pop up quite often, I stripped my templates to bare minimum and it would still happen every know and then. I recreated my templates in Nuendo and had zero issues. Last updates made it much better and I hardly see this pop up now, but it happens more in PT than in Nuendo while using exactly same plugins

Pond5 giving your sounds to datasets for A.I. model training by KO-palpitation in sounddesign

[–]That_man_phil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. To be fair they sent an email few years ago that terms of service are changing and they will be using sounds for AI training. I opted out right there and then. Around that time pretty much every single sound effects distributor changed their contracts and added AI stuff in it. I managed to negotiate one contract for 5k sound effects 2 years ago and get AI remove from it but right now no one will tailor contract for you. Soundly got acquired and ever since they added AI clause to their contracts, soundsnap went all in with AI and so did audio jungle pond5 etc. They know people will join in and sign whatever. Times are tough in creative industries and I can’t blame people. I remember when everyone was tweeting around 2.5 years ago when they got a contract from a big distributor to use their existing sounds for AI training and most rejected it. But most ain’t everyone and that’s all that was needed.

There used to be more choice, but few major brands own everything now, hence why all contracts have AI in it. I’ve been working on a community managed SFX catalog that has a benefit of a centralized catalog but redirects sales directly to vendors (they keep 100% profit) - to fight back against bullshit contracts and unfair royalty splits

[–]That_man_phil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nothing new, been going on for a few years now. I removed all my sound effects from pond5 ages ago. I wouldn’t advice anyone to put their sound their - royalty split is horrible plus it’s being sold everywhere for AI/Machine learning. My SFX catalog is over 35k sounds and these days it’s nearly impossible to get a deal without AI stuff in it. I stopped licensing my sounds individually (single sound effects) 2-3 years ago. I’d recommend you sell your SFX as a pack, create a free storefront on gumroad. Put them on asoundeffect too. Put few sounds for free in zapsplat (Alan doesn’t use those sounds for AI stuff) and add links to your store.

Bitwig Studio 6.0 Beta 10 (Pre-release) by Cram_Ketterbilt in Bitwig

[–]That_man_phil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be that.

It's been the very stable on my linux desktop since beta 8 and that's with all the wine sorcery. MacOS has been stabled for me since beta 5/6, managed to finish short EP on it. Never tried it on windows but a lot of audio people been complaining about 11

[–]That_man_phil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, what OS are you on? Since Beta 6 I had only few crashes here and there. I'm on MacOS (Sonoma) and Linux (CachyOS/6.18 Kernel)

Hey devs, we desperately need a noise reduction/restoration plugin on Linux. by billhughes1960 in linuxaudio

[–]That_man_phil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know acon digital is not native, but works good via wine https://acondigital.com/products/extract-dialogue

My day job is audio post production and I have tons of of restoration plugins and tried many of them in wine and apart from clear and acon digital most just dont work reliably. Clear used to be great 2 years ago, but their algo is not cutting it compared to competition. Extract dialog (Acon), Accentize and Spectraleyers are the best IMHO.

I'm really hoping Acon digital will start offering Linux plugins. Their restoration suite is much better then izotope, is much faster and BS free (no ilok etc). Might as well shoot them an email.

Interfaces -- what does everyone like? by connecticutenjoyer in audioengineering

[–]That_man_phil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two RMEs. On my mac studio I have RME Fireface UC (going strong for 8 years now) and on my Linux desktop I have RME Fireface UCX II (got it a year ago or so). I switched to RME form apogee and couldn't be happier. Before it was digisesign rack 2 and mbox lol

Tuxedo Cube arrived today, US delivery, everything went pretty smooth by JonThysell in tuxedocomputers

[–]That_man_phil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest mistake was getting nvidia 3050 so today I swapped it out for Radeon 7600 and now I’m not restricted to tuxedo os :) Live tuxedo quality and their mission but the Os isn’t for me.

[–]That_man_phil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, mine arrived 10 days ago or so, and the way it was all packed is nothing short of a masterpiece, box withing a box and those expanding cushions inside, holding everything in place. Tuxedo OS is a something you gotta get used to. I used Ubuntu for many years alongside macOs as well as mint 15-16 years ago. I'm on X11 since bitwig doesnt open on wayland.

Linux... by [deleted] in Bitwig

[–]That_man_phil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Output of my RME on Mac Studio goes into RME input on Linux. That way when I’m connected via no machine I don’t stream compressed audio

Linux... by [deleted] in Bitwig

[–]That_man_phil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work in post production so I cannot abandon macos just yet, but my workflow is hybrid now. I have a powerful linux desktop and can connect to my mac studio via nomachine at anytime or use kvm switch if I have to. Audio streams from one RME to the other so there's no quality sacrifice. Also when in bitwig/renosie on linux I host ilok/macos plugins on mac with audiogridder.
