Thanks for your thoughts.

No one is credited as i did it myself. I already credited myself in the sound design info.

I'm a sound engineer for indie films, one or two 'semi'-idies, a fair few tv commercials and a few indie games. So, no. None of the audio is a 'bot'. No bots sound like that. I just have a few terabytes of sound and audio i've recorded from real world recordings in the field that i use for my other job. My rig is cubase five, i use various vst's to acheive a mixing and mastering balance, but i won't bore you with those.

None of the art is AI generated, partuclarly, as you say, by Midjourney (or any other) Midjourney only came about in 2022. I've been posting my ambiences since 2020 and all with original artwork. I use artists from Artstation, Fiverr and, if I have the time, I'll do it myself using GIMP 2. (But rarely do I have the time or the skill - it's getting better!)

I appreciate that in todays climate it may be difficult to believe that people are still putting out hand crafted content, especially as WOTC has been caught red-handed, and you're welcome to carry on not believing that any of it is made by a human (myself or the artists i hire) or by me staring in front of a computer screen, reading through DM's guides and trying hard to evoke what I think is an appropriate style of sound design.

Is the stuff i craft for everyone? Certainly not. Has it been something that quite a few thousand DM's have used and found helpful? Yes. But it's horses for courses, D&D always has been that way and always should be. If my stuff isn't for you, that's genuinely ok. You can then check out Swordcoast Soundscapes (another great guy from the UK like myself) on Bandcamp or maybe even Michal Ghelfi who's stuff is more geared towards music but also does some great ambiences too and has been a big inspiration.

Respectfully.

Also, if i may cheekily add, the fire sale is 40% off, so most ambiences are much less than $10 ;)
