They get deep into the crispy part of the eardrum. I think that’s their path into your brain for imprinting. I still don’t fully understand sound law and how it applies to crickets, birds and leaf blowers.

It’s so annoying considering how much the iPhone costs.

I’ve been cleaning up dialog recordings with tons of crickets. Perhaps, our collective crickets could disappear forever?

It really is, but once something goes that direction, it’s smart to exit. Ah well…

I also was bullied as a young boy and am feeling like the bullies need a kick to the nuts right now.

I used to find work on it, but it rapidly became a useless platform of AI content, created for the least common denominator.

Pro new year tip:
Deleting the LinkedIn app from your phone will save your sanity. That fake motivational, AI slop factory is a sewer, at best.

I like Refuse’s Lowender to help any sub level frequencies

UVI Walker 2 - Footstep Foley Designer Completely redesigned! Create realistic, cinema-quality human, animal, and creature footstep sounds for film, video and post-production

I like the Edward Foley mentioned above for feet and UVI Walker 2 for clothe (just mute the footsteps). It also has other foley movement elements that are great for foley detail.

5 years ago, I spent a month n Puebla, MX getting a treatment called HSCT for multiple sclerosis.
After chemo and a bone marrow transplant, I was fixated on this coffee maker in my room. I had my D100 and recorded this shit out of it. This was a nice day where I felt like my old self for a while.

Becoming disabled was already bad enough. Being treated like a subhuman because of it makes it so much worse

I really wanted to like it, but couldn’t force it down. Perhaps, we don’t need more stories in the Alien world?

You are correct. I will need that β€œspecific” sound and oiling the hinges will ruin that. I see the light now!

It’s either squeaky hinges or ghosts. One can ever be 100% certain…

Before I oil this hinge, I have to record it. That’s how sound law works.

The first album I ever recorded with my high school band, The Birthday Circus, was in 2000. We used a conference cassette recorder in the middle of the garage and blocked the drum kit with trash cans/blankets in a poor attempt to reduce the volume. I need to find this recording…
