Turns out isopropyl alcohol can get the gunk off old plastic on gear. Lots of cheaper plastic gets gummy over time so it's nice this fixes it.
Dip in isopropyl alcohol, 4x-8x heavy swipes over each face with a cue tip, then clean up any extra residue 🧼

Nine sols was awesome!
Love they have story mode sliders! Used it for phase 3 Lady E and to not sink 3-4 hours into Eigong pattern learning 😂
Can always go fight them after in normal too!
Excellent sounding game with blend of tonal synths and foley 🙌
Just the right amount of challenge for 95%.

The Austin #gameaudio meetup was a big success tonight!
We all brought props and did a big shootout between ultrasonic mics.
Also presented my fresh talk "Beyond Audible" which is a primer all about ultrasonic recording.
Plan to post results to YT in the future. 🎙️

New mic pre 🤖
Beautiful, but huge.
Found this Blue Robbie for $300 so I'm testing it out. Specs are awesome for noise and frequency extension to 100khz.
Anyone ever use these?

In the middle of a gaming session... hard system crash... or so I thought.
Turns out windows decided to update without warning me despite going to great lengths to disable auto updates.

Split keyboards are amazing for posture and ergonomics! I tried a few and landed on the NocFree with silent switches, foam and walnut wrist rests.
Absolute Game changer ⌨️
No more twisted arms, ulnar nerves or collapsed shoulders.
Thanks to all who gave me keyboard advice🙌

Found an excellent Whetstone knife sharpening tutorial 🔪
I've had varying success before, but nailed all four quickly this time. Funny how just a few tweaks makes all the difference for angle, method, and pressure.

You know an action/plugin I want? A plugin use tracker.
Something that tallies how many times I actually instantiate a plugin in reaper over time.
Then 6-12 months later I could use that to cut down the bloat of my vst directories!
Does that exist?

@nvk.tools Reaper theme is awesome! Adds very useful customization options.
I made 7 fresh color themes for it and shared in their discord.
What #gameaudio color themes inspire you in your DAWs? Thinking a cool nature theme, retro and synthwave theme would be fun for different types of tasks :)

Avowed is super fun!
Grimoire + wand FTW🪄
Well done to the audio team 🙌
It really shines midway as companions and combat hit their stride IMHO.
Try playing a bit with music muted to isolate the wonderful ambience, FS, impact and combat sounds 🎧
