Sad news for the #eurovision 
Grand Final:
My local broadcaster reached out again and told me that the bad audio mix is (at least partly) due to EBU rules. Specifically, the LFE channel isn't allowed to be used in competing songs.
This must be a new rule, since my #ESC2024 
recording has full 5.1 audio, even during the acts. Sounds much better in comparison, in my opinion.
I again recommend reaching out to your broadcaster to get that changed at the EBU level for next year. 
Hello fellow #eurovision watchers!
During the first semi-final yesterday, I noticed that the German broadcast had no LFE channel output during the acts, only in-between. Audio mixing of the acts also felt sub-par overall.
Did you experience similar problems with your broadcasters?

I've been wanting to make some educational/inspirational videos for musicians and creatives. I know a number of y'all here are DIY musicians. Is there anything re: music production that you're wanting to learn more about?
Jim and Andrew slaving over a hot Neve VR60 with 56 live channels.
Someday there will be a plug-in that emulates the tiresome workflow of matching an old version of ProTools to an old version of macOS such that it doesn't crash on you because that had such a SOUND to it, you know? Lmao
This plugin is flippin' brilliant. It does that modal resonator/synthesis thing that Ableton producers are hot for these days. I'm demoing it rn to add a little zhuzh to a vocoder, and... take my money.
Plus, it's native on #Linux. Easiest install ever for this Linux newbie here.

blepfxprismaprisma is an FFT based 3-in-1 plugin. It's a pitch shifter that works even on polyphonic audio sources, a formant shifter, and a pitch quantizer.
I may be a weirdo for this, but I generally prefer the sound of dynamic mics over condenser mics.
And I gotta show some more love to the Beta 58a. I used this mic to record a female vocalist last week, and with some subtle EQ, compression, and reverb for tracking, it sounded like a record already.
I'd love to discover a way to record a piece of music that starts without click and then continues to a click in the middle of it. An external metronome could be triggered by foot pedal, for instance. But could it be done all within the DAW? Has someone devised a #Reaper script for such a thing?

Check out the Signal Transfer Function Analyzer here. I might do a blog post or video or something about how to set it up and interpret the measurements.

I recently discovered a meter/scope for #reaper that displays the transfer curve of a saturation effect! My dreams are a reality! It's fascinating to flip through my different saturation plugins and gain deeper insight into what they're doing. I'm curious if I can approximate my paid plugins with free/stock options.
Finally figured out a good mic setup for recording voice and acoustic guitar in two tracks: RE20 and Beta 58 butt-to-butt, with the RE20 pointed at the chin and the Beta 58 pointed downward toward the 1st string at the 12th fret. The hypercardioid pattern of the Beta 58 is especially helpful.
Does anyone know an audio hash or audio fingerprint library, that works also with ultrasonic high-bandwidth sound? (i.e. not just audible frequencies). We want to hash soundfiles (WAV, FLAC, etc) in a database system to match duplicates. #signalprocessing #audiophile #audioengineering
Ngl, one of the downsides of #LinuxAudio is fewer plugins with pretty GUIs that make me believe my music sounds better now.
Oh the contradictions of being a music tech nerd.

The plug-in in question: RM-2 by 5dB5. This thing sounds surprisingly gorgeous for the price. Whatever anti-aliasing it has got, it does it well. The controls are suitable for subtle tone-shaping, sweetening, anything you'd use a preamp for.

Ohma Mics was also generous enough to lend me a couple mics to demo. We used their flagship condenser for the vocals and their ribbon on Jess's ukulele. The two behind this company know their shit, and their stuff is at once utterly unique and classic. https://ohmaworld.com/

I just rsync'd so it may be wonky for a few minutes (just hit refresh), but I have updated my blog with thoughts at the (almost) midpoint of my studio engineering program at #BlackbirdStudio in #Nashville. Also mentioned: wild studio parties, #Inkscape, #ProTools, and general career thoughts.
