Pushed Beta V1.1 of ReaMOD today with improved parameter automation capabilities/workflow and saving/recalling ReaMOD states with Reaper project files. Grab the update here: www.simplesoundtools.com/reamod

ReaMOD is now ready for you to play with! Control FMOD from within Reaper. Find out more here: www.simplesoundtools.com/reamod

Here is the first artifact to result from the DAW survey I recently ran. www.linkedin.com/pulse/flow-f...

I've been thinking about how DAWs empower or limit creativity. This made me curious to know what DAWs you are using. So...I made a form! Should take less than 5 minutes to fill out and then we can finally all know for certain: Which DAW is truly the best DAW? Haha! form.typeform.com/to/BB5NsDJT?...

More useful tools, this time an beautiful #M4l device for #ableton by one of my favorite #YouTubers Iftah: youtu.be/jGE4zHv-1k8?...

The Reaper community is so awesome! The software itself is so customizable, just about any workflow can be optimized. Here is a new script from Leon Beilmann for setting up and managing tracks with .csv files. Could be a huge time saver for folks! youtu.be/A_xs1wD1Ccs?...

Some people have dreams where they speak another language, apparently I have dreams where I am solving network communication problems in Max/MSP patches.

So many great implementation and sound design ideas in this interview with Ali Tocher by @sergioronchetti.bsky.social. youtu.be/oGuvQc6nvvg?...

Closing out the old year and bringing in the new in one of my favorite spots with some of my favorite people.

I just discovered @dzlo.bsky.social posts/account. So many thought provoking threads about #sound and #gameaudio. 🤯

My brain kept chewing and it resulted in me writing a follow-up article on physical modeling and why it’s not more common in game audio www.linkedin.com/pulse/search... #gamedev #gameaudio #sounddesign #synthesis #wwise #unrealengine #unity #fmod

Reading Cox's "Sonic Wonderland" this morning inspired me to write a brief article exploring how sometimes the 'wrong' sound is the 'right' choice. www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-w...

The best just got even better 😍 www.fabfilter.com/products/pro...

One of the best explanation of reverb I’ve heard and some really intriguing tech: youtu.be/_sV0mVuv-bE?...

Working out some of the bugs with how #ReaMOD uses Take Envelopes in #Reaper to update local or global event parameters for specific #FMOD event instances. This kind of work always feels like three steps forward one step back. But it feels so good once everything is working smoothly!

I am almost ready to share another one of my recent #SideQuest with the world: a variable-length step sequencer driven by logic and probability! #FMOD #Unity #gameaudio #sounddesign

Not surprised. I spent a lot of time in L.A. this year and Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation has become my go to soundtrack for driving the hills around L.A. Also, I love The Bee Gees! Such a great album.

New obsession unlocked: Record everything with ultrasonic microphones! #sounddesign #fieldrecording #foley #gameaudio #gamedev #audiorecording youtu.be/9W6Y5vR6KN8?...

Mocked up a basic GUI for the probabilistic step sequencer I am playing with in #FMOD. Here is a little demo video: youtu.be/BuneS-f9MBY?...

I want to play with this so badly! I know that there are plenty of issues/concerns with A.I. but this one in particular makes me so curious about the creative possibilities: fugatto.github.io #sounddesign #ai #foley #ambience #gameaudio #gamedev

Great quote “You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, you just need to join the conversion.” Some of my favorite moments from #gamesoundcon were thanks to @sergioronchetti.bsky.social and his #FMOD workshops. Here’s another nugget of knowledge/words of encouragement from him: youtu.be/RzVydBmbIgw?...

Self oscillating filters is still one of my favorite synthesis techniques. Here is an older video I made demonstrating this in one of my favorite synths, #operator in #ableton. youtu.be/vePNy4NA2X8 #synths #soundesign #gamedev #gameaudio

Added a bass line sequencer complete with per-step note and probability control. Check it out: youtu.be/sMEsA2XZm-s #fmod #gameaudio #gamedev #sounddesign #beats

Experimented this morning with creating a probabilistic step sequencer in #FMOD. Here is what I came up with: youtu.be/e5Ott-I2iy4?... #gameaudio #sounddesign

One of my favorite listening exercises is to re-synthesize both the resulting sounds and the processes that control them of what I hear in nature. Here was one of my listening/synthesis mediations on ocean waves using @kilohearts.com #phaseplant: youtu.be/rWz1fVupE9w

Awesome list of #gameaudio folks on BlueSky. Thanks, @aaronbrownsound.bsky.social, for putting this together!

Sometimes the best thing for my ears 👂 is to look away from the screen. 📺 My modular synth 🎛️ helps me stretch my brain & ears fueling the creativity I need in sound design for interactive media. Here's a noisy meditation: youtu.be/8NYn4CwBaBM?... 😉🔊 #SoundDesign #ModularSynth #InteractiveMedia

Ambience isn’t just background noise—it places the listener in the world. 🌍✨ I always start my design with ambience. When it feels right, everything else falls into place. Here’s one thing I focus on when crafting ambience: #SoundDesign #GameAudio #ImmersiveAudio #SkyChildrenOfTheLight

Forgot to share my most recent developer update on my ReaMOD project. Here it is: ReaMOD - Dev Update - 2024-10-26 #reaper #gameaudio #sounddesign #fmod youtu.be/fMs5XgDoW08

Hey, first post on BlueSky! I’m a sound designer and educator. Follow me here for updates on my current project: ReaMOD - a Reaper extension for controlling FMOD projects. #reaper #gameaudio #fmod #sounddesign youtu.be/Ba8OaWds1cA?...
