I always screw things up for myself by not getting enough sleep on the first shoot day. First day is like first day of school pressure. I don't recover that sleep loss in the coming days.

I wish there was an option in Pro Tools where you can keep the same shortcuts just change the modifier keys. I'm trying to figure out SharpKeys but it's not working so far.

Ahhh! Shifting from Mac to Windows overnight to use Pro Tools is so annoying. Ctrl + Shift + Tab is the most uncomfortable key combination.

Congrats Chris and the whole team.

This is like that Kenny Beats & Zack Fox video. "Give me a Pro Lifer beat."

When I visited Himachal I felt a similar entitled vibe about people and how they treated the locals and landscape. I was thinking the mountains and weather demands some respect in Himachal, Goa is safe and it's easy for people to take advantage of it.

Art deco at 100: why the sleek design aesthetic of the ‘machine age’ endures Although originally conceived in Europe, art deco came to define American interwar prosperity, optimism and luxury.

Thanks to BioShock Art Deco is my favourite design aesthetic. It's one of my favourite things about Bombay, it supposedly has the second most art deco architecture in the world, just after Miami. theconversation.com/art-deco-at-...

Is there a decent community of Audio devs in India? It's not a space I've looked into directly but it's not something that's really out in the open to show up on my radar either. I'm mostly learning from your Linkedin posts.

Without any warning the weather in Mumbai/KDMC region has become cold. Wasn't it raining in KDMC just a few days ago? Our bodies esp those of elders haven't had time to adjust to this sudden dip in temperatures at night.

My nose has become runny already 🙄

My mum has been throwing up since last night.

It went from rain to extremely hot to rain again to suddenly cold.

Wow Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein makes me so happy. It doesn't feel like a film from this decade. Definitely the best film I've seen in recent years.

Love Sonia (2018) ⭐ 7.4 | Drama 2h 2m

After we watched it my mum was telling me during her teens when she was working as a hairdresser how men would bring young girls for them to "pretty up" and how they'd be crying and asking for help but couldn't do anything. #DesiWatch www.imdb.com/title/tt3823...

I've seen you mention Destiny often, I didn't know how much it meant to you. Glad these tough times are behind you.

It's nice to see no voter tampering in the US.

I haven't tested DX Revive yet or Clear since it was in beta as "Goyo". I was very impressed with how Hush Pro retains whispers and breaths compared to RX's Dialog Isolate. How does Revive & Clear compare?

Palestine 36 review: an engaging historical drama Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir’s sweeping period film tackles a moment of profound change: the year 1936, when the Great Palestinian Revolt broke through the complacency of British rule.

“Palestine 36 addresses [Annemarie Jacir’s] trademark themes – identity, the weight of history – on a much larger scale, combining the conventions of classic period drama with a thorough unpacking of the geopolitical failures”

Rachel Pronger reviews. www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

For me it's Session 9, the: "Hello....Gordon." voice creeped me out for days and still does when I think about it. As an introvert I'm in my head a lot. The idea of a voice in your head and not being able to differentiate between your conscious thoughts or if it's something else is disturbing.

Wow I paused the black metal I was listening to hear the demo and this would go so well together. It's evil sounding, it's great.

Ugh that story of the organiser from Dubai.

TL;DR: She "sacrificed" her crew by going over time limit, let the crew get detained by the police and bailed them out the next day. rollingstoneindia.com/indian-music...
