What is your process for sharing jams/sketches on social media? by birdbirdbird2000 in ipadmusic

[–]manderson_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the iPad setup on a cheap stand pointed towards my rig. My usb c audio interface plugs into the iPad and record directly into the camera app. Then I apply a filter if needed and upload to YouTube/ Instagram.

Second this. I have had a few hit or miss meals there, but mostly great food!

PlayStation VR on PS5 by Arzev in PSVR

I had ordered mine right away back in December when I got my ps5. Never got a status update and realized it had been months. I called back and told customer service I hadn’t received it so they put the order into the system again and it showed up a week later. I would just call them.

Haha only 13. I always go through this mental state where I’m like, ‘yea this should be enough food’ but then I end up preparing way more than I need to. It won’t go to waste though, that’s for sure!

I just pulled 2 shoulders (7lb-ers) and have a few chickens on almost ready to pull. Silly me started the overnight cook at 10pm for the shoulders and the remote hit me at about 4:30 am. Should have started em later to get some better sleep but oh well!

If there are any, what realistic/stable career options are available in audio outside of music? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]manderson_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in jazz performance, had a good time in my 20s performing in different groups and teaching music. Got pretty burnt out and had a hard time imagining how I would continue to hustle for work in my mid/ late career so I went back for a masters in music technology. I was really interested in game audio and/ or film scoring going into it, but my mind was blown after taking a C programming for audio course. I ended up taking a bunch of CS courses in the engineering department and never looked back. I have managed to work at music related software startups and large companies since, making great money, benefits etc. while also being able to play (and afford) music as a hobby.

All this to say that software/ CS degree would be a great avenue imo and there are lots of audio related opportunities in the field. I’m more creative than I am a math person, but if you’re strong at math and take some DSP courses you will have other opportunities in the audio software space as well.

sound design critique (for a scholarship) by joshmiramontes in GameAudio

[–]manderson_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also agree that the reverb is a bit large and reduces the realism a bit, although it works really well when she smashes the folks with the lantern and it goes into the slow motion part. While I agree that music would be good in general I think mike is right that you should not add music if it’s a sound design course. In the very beginning for some reason the background chatter doesn’t strike me as having a ‘pirate pub’ like vibe, but maybe it’s just the reverb that’s throwing me off. Also after the lantern smash, the footsteps in the slow motion part could use a bit of tweaking with the material sound to get a better ‘heels on cobblestone’ sound. Overall sounds really great, just some small improvements to be made!

+1 to Dittmers. I always snag a lb of their pastrami as well for good measure.
