Started sorting a few audio plugins into a voice chain – and ended up sorting compressors by hardware topology/type and year … 🫣 But at least I’m learning a lot about the different types of compression, right…right? 😅

Finally found a really good solution for placing a display directly below my camera (with the Elgato Prompter attached to it) so that I can still move my desk up and down without covering the cam: I mounted a cheap monitor arm to a light stand. 🤓

Prototyping with my desk setup a bit. I think I like it. 🤔 Would mean more space directly in front of me and I could also add rack strips and mount 19" gear like my dbx 286s within arm’s reach.

Really enjoyed @reichenstein.bsky.social‘s thoughtful and entertaining talk at #smashingconf today! Amazing to see how philosophical ideas influenced the design of iA’s apps and what designers can and could learn from philosophy – and vice versa. A lot of food for thought!

Und los geht’s mit dem großen Rasenmäher-Härtetest nach dem Urlaub à la @spielundzeug.bsky.social. Allerdings nicht mit einem Roboter, sondern mit Gardenas kleinstem Akku-Mäher – wie so ein Neandertaler!! 😁
