Sparrow Rayne and I collaborated on a sea shanty soundscape piece that turned out really nice! Enjoy!

This is a wonderful thing. I'm glad to have helped in my tiny way. Not everyone will agree with the name change. It will probably lose a lot of frequenters. To most of them, frankly, good riddance. We don't need people so sexist that a name change away from problematic material upsets them. The goal is to anti-sexist and this is one of many ways to do it. Also, GS had lost me as a user for years and now it's gained me. I'm sure there are many others too.
I'm working to allow my business, run by me, to have some moral opinions. I don't think business should stay silent on matters that affect them just because they're "political". It may hurt my bottom line, but I'd rather that get hurt than people.
Julian Standen has just announced via an interview (on Working Class Audio's Youtube channel) that Gearslutz will be changing their name. Julian has expressed compassion and understanding for the fact that the name was offensive and inappropriate for the workplace, and would like the site to have a....
I don't use this account much because my work dried up during covid and I'm bad at social media, but I think it would be inappropriate and hypocritical of me not to make a statement about yesterday's terrorist coup attempt. I think the words I used to describe it say enough that you know where Idyll Sounds stands on the matter, because words are important.
Idyll Sounds is not a political entity, but it is run and operated in the US and pays taxes to the government here, so it nonetheless has clear, material stake in the operation of that government. I will not take on any work that is in any way apologist towards these people, their leader, or their ideals.
Another episode down and no qc fails, despite a particularly difficult section that refuses to stay under true peak spec. Predictably, the fix was in the low end, which was eating up all my headroom in that moment.
Just delivered a printmaster to another happy client! Had lots of fun with the foley on this one, and look forward to sharing it with y'all!
Did the Dialog Edit and Dialog Premix. Expect this to end up on my reel soon :)

Little bits of quarantine work coming in. It's nice to be productive in my chosen profession, if only a little bit!
Sparrow Rayne, my wife and wonderful acoustic artist, will be doing a worldwide tour of our house during quarantine. I'll be on the mixing board.

When editing dialog, I have found that a few key concepts are at the forefront of my decision-making process. I'm 100% certain I will miss some things, as I've never actually codified my thought process until now. Furthe...

The Dilemma
Found this beauty at a thrift store for $3. Yes there's a crack through the middle. That's the point. That crack makes the chair creak really nicely! Even do, when I showed the crack to the thrift store manager, they sold it to me for $3 instead of the posted $10 lol
Another happy customer! All post: picture edit, fx, color grading, and of course, sound. Props to Rene for excellent direction!

session went well today. Sometimes prop choices are obvious. Other times, less so.
Also, sometimes, your cat decides to hang out and be generally adorable while you work.
The snow is taking my windows. This is my present for finishing up my client's airline promo with rave reviews I guess!
Went to see with tonight. Also got the theater owner's contact info to see if I can strike up a deal in which I can use their theater as a dub stage ;)
First day of snow! It was falling all day and now my car is trapped on a hill. Don't worry though, I wont procrastinate like this on your project!
Proud owner of .protools ultimate perpetual. Finally got Avid on the phone to finish the license transfer. This means, I finally get to learn preview and punch automation!
Arrived for an edit gig an hour early. Strawberry banana smoothie should fill the time.
Doing some tempo mapping for 's new Holiday single in Cakewalk!

So the thing is, the squirrels up here bark pretty loudly. My sound library does not contain squirrel barks, so every time I or my wife hear them, I rush to get my mobile recording gear together. I am not optimized for field recording, so they inevitably stop barking by the time everything is assembled and rolling. One day, I will add them to my library, but that is not this day.

Well played, . You're never experienced real customer support until you've had a developer run home to change ONE CHARACTER of their code, and send you a custom build in 2 hours, just so you can have a different delimiter on your spreadsheet exports.
Finally, after years of procrastination, I am going through my meager 10,000 file sound library and embedding accurate metadata. It's a lot of spreadsheets.
Having consulted with River on audio book production, I can say that her series is top notch work. Get hooked with the free episode zero!

Trying to read up on dialog editing workflows turns out to be difficult when you have cats.

That's a wrap! Screening on the 26th for two films. Learned a lot. Gonna make some changes. For one thing, gonna use Frame.io for reviews from now on!
Solid foley session for an upcoming film: Nikki Sings Again, releasing Oct. 26, 2019. Nothing too crazy, just some basic steps, moves, sits, and a few props.
