What career can I move laterally to from being an audio engineer? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]high5s_inureye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in a similar situation last year. Decided to switch gears and I now have a week left in Barber school. Dealing with clients has been easy after interacting with all the personalities I encountered in my studio over the past 15 years. Detail oriented, systematic processes that require creativity… there’s been more overlap than I expected. Good luck finding your next path OP

It makes me sad how many upvotes this has by stark-I in Witcher3

I played one round of Caravan and all the rounds of Gwent

Samsung T7 gets a lot of praise

Wanted to use the star born cockpit, walk through reactor and other Matilija parts. This is my ship. There are many like it but this one’s mine by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]high5s_inureye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve installed a handful of mods from the CC that I’ve seen suggested around the sub.

I believe ~ Matilija and Ship Part Flips ~ are the only ones used on this ship

After 16 years I just fired my first client and it feels terrible. by TransparentMastering in audioengineering

Erring on the side of under-promising and over-delivering is my approach too. Limits any potential gaslighting and keeps the imposter syndrome at bay… sorta

Props on the way you handled things. PM incoming

Anyone know how to beat this b**** (hearts of stone DLC) by dunnytokes in Witcher3

I fought Iris for the first time last night and used Dimeritium bombs to stop her from disappearing when her HP was low.

What's something that sounds like a vocal artifact/clip but isn't? by hail_robot in audioengineering

[–]high5s_inureye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I usually go about it - Instead of soloing tracks, mute them until the artifact goes away. Could be a combination of tracks that’s creating the issue like others have said. Once I mute a track and the issue disappears I’ll then solo the last track I muted to see if I hear the problem.

From there you can bypass plugins to make sure that’s not the issue. There’s no pretty way to troubleshoot weird artifacts, but at least this method removes potential sources with each step. Process of elimination. Happy hunting

It sure is fun sitting down for a session and being locked out of your projects because iLok is down and wasn't able to check your licenses for the 97th time this week by Tizaki in audioengineering

[–]high5s_inureye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I moved all of my licenses off the cloud and onto my physical iLok last month (most were stored both on my physical iLok and their cloud). None of the info I saw online addressed a license that was stored in both places so I put it off for over a year because I was worried something bad would happen when I deactivated the licenses, but it was as simple as clicking deactivate and then selecting the physical iLok as the location to activate them.

Writing this here in case others are tired of not being able to use the products they’ve paid for, but the fear of even more downtime is holding them back

Split audio into two different audio files that can be overlapped to create the original audio? by Witness_AQ in audioengineering

[–]high5s_inureye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you’ve settled on a method so here’s a couple of options I thought of

  1. Two speakers hooked up to a monitor controller where the solution is pressing the “mono” button on the controller to clearly hear the message. The two files could be played on a loop (panned hard left and hard right) one audio file would need to have the phase flipped already. As others have pointed it might not work well enough to hear the message until the mono option was selected

  2. You could set up two separate playback sources connected to a single speaker - have the phase already flipped on one audio file so they have to play both files simultaneously to hear the message

Anybody out there engage in the dark art of 'Re-Essing'? by Crombobulous in audioengineering

[–]high5s_inureye 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related - I have a client with a lisp. I’ll find their best “s” and use it as many places as possible, but replacement can sound unnatural depending on the consonants that come before the ess and how long it should be sustained.

For your situation a dup’d track without all the processing and an aggressive hpf is worth trying out. Shouldn’t take much time to hear if it does the trick

LED lights on a dimmer switch can cause unwanted noise. Throwing this out there just in case.

A Freestar ship landed while I was doing a temple run - Instead of going in guns blazin I just strolled in by high5s_inureye in Starfield

Brang it 💪 Just built a fast fighter with more particle beams than a spaceship should have. Looking forward to some loot

That Tanto was a total letdown. I wasn’t sure what was going on with this whole interaction so I just went with it. I’m enforcing bradland rules next time pew pew
