I made a feed for audio folks. Like it says in the description, any post using #PostAudioSky will automatically be added. Along with a curated list with posts sorted based on relevant information. Hopefully it can be one place we can all share and learn from each other. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I've never built anything from code before. This was a fun learning experience thank you for this.

There was a set of DirectX plugins in the late 90s/early 00s called HyperPrism DX that I loved. Arboretum Systems sadly disappeared years ago, so they have been lost to time. I've spent the last few months trying to recreate them as VST3 plugs. Check it: github.com/themightyzq/... #audioplugins #vst

GitHub - themightyzq/HyperPrismReimagined: Recreation of HyperPrism DX - a collection of plugins by Arboretum Systems (RIP) that I used to love from the 1990s.

How do you pronounce Nevada?

Where I'm from the names of villages are spelled in a way that was convenient for the Portuguese colony. They added an "im" at the end that you don't say. So the city "Panjim" is "Panji" and depending on your local dialect it can be different as well like "Ponji".

@bolttracks.bsky.social Hey, congratulations to you and the team on Ghost of Yotei. :)

I saw this was on sale and demo'd it. It's a multi effects processor that I imagine would work really well for this. Stutters/Glitch/Vocoding.

Indian film soundtracks had so much character. The vocals are so saturated and that cheap delay echo. It's iconic.

That's a good point. It sounds like I'm suggesting scientists can't be trusted at all. I don't think too hard when I use social media.
