a graph of year-on-year growth in audio equipment prices, which spiked to 12%

One category where you can really see the tariff impact is audio equipment like speakers, microphones, and headphones—it's one of few electronics categories not exempted from tariffs (most smartphones/computers are still tariff-free) and so consumer prices are up more than 12% year-on-year

I would like to agree with your hot take but also admit that I will sometimes (many times...) pay those outrageous prices because I'm a sucker haha. Or maybe I just always think it's going to be better than it actually is...

Super fun #gamesudiogdc #gdc2025 and GANG awards. Congrats to all the winners and nominees! Humbled to be mentioned in the same sentences as you all. Honored that my team was able to walk away with Sound Design of the Year! Let’s do it again next year!

I miss Bender’s. The real question is who got the burger??

No fewer than three people sent this to me this week. It true, though. #Foley #FoleyEditing #filmsound

This was a fun one, @markkilborn.bsky.social!

Hey Bluesky gonna really make an effort to make this my primary posting place instead of X! Hoping to grow my community here! Anyways here my newest release with @ganjawhitenight.bsky.social and @lsdream.bsky.social ❤️

Love that place, it's been a few years, but one of my favorite mountains. Have a blast!!

Where ya at?

Reposting this for people who may have missed. We're looking for an expert sound designer in Guilford, but even if you're an experienced senior who is very self motivated, pls apply!

I've been told the same thing and have been looking for something to play over the holiday break. Guess I need to revisit!

Got to watch The Substance last night. Many very fun sound design moments! A couple of missed opportunities as well, but generally well done. But boy did that turn into a b-horror flick fast in the end (sorry, spoiler-ish...)

Pro R is my go-to digital reverb (Pro R 2 can load impulses as well!) Super easy to dial in and find the sound you want. Might be worth taking another look @sawasound.bsky.social . I have tons of verbs and although I can get great sounds out of Phoenix or other classics, Pro R is way faster, imho

Curious if you like bc of portability? As opposed to a Mac Studio?

Whoa, I hope all my SF folks are staying safe!

Taking some time off of work and jumping back into music production. It's probably been 5+ years since I've tried, but my Spectrasonics license is still valid for the latest versions! What a breath of fresh air compared to all the garbage subscription models out there. Love me some Omnisphere

For all my Chicago musicians following me, this is great:
