Scott McDowell<p>What up! <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sfba.social/@MLNow" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>MLNow</span></a></span> visited Hyde St last week and popped into my studio while we were tracking guitar overdubs. Here’s the article featuring a great interview with our studio manager Jack Kertzman: <br><a href="https://missionlocal.org/2025/06/hyde-street-studios-tenderloin-business/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">missionlocal.org/2025/06/hyde-</span><span class="invisible">street-studios-tenderloin-business/</span></a><br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SFBA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SFBA</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MusicProduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicProduction</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/GameAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GameAudio</span></a></p>
Chris Mills<p><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/LinuxAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxAudio</span></a> journey so far. I've downgraded to Linux Mint 21 Vanessa in the hopes that a nice looking script will work to load a bunch of <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> features. This looks great, but is 3 years old, though the scripts have all been maintained within the last 3 weeks. However - Cadence is not found in the KXStudio resources and the script errors out. Sad face. One day it might all come together - for now though, I just want to make music.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG6ipmOyfw0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=cG6ipmOyfw</span><span class="invisible">0</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>When I switch to the melodic range spectrogram layer, you can see WHERE the ref mix is louder. The low end is much more powerful throughout.</p><p>But there are also some short higher pitches (xylophone, I think?) arpeggiating throughout that are much louder. It's PRETTIER, but I didn't actually like how bright they were in the ref mix.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>Reference mix is on top; our mix is on bottom. These are normalized to -1 dB peak, because I am specifically evaluating the mix. (If I just wanted to compare how they sounded and which I preferred, then it would make sense to normalize to perceived loudness, the default for <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a>-normalize.)</p><p>Our mix has more dynamic range, prob too much. That fits _my_ tastes, but it's not what the market prefers. You can see some limiting in the ref mix, but not excessive.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>I have been asked last minute to do sound for a funeral. </p><p>I did not get to test anything before it started so I'm leaning pretty heavily on the default configuration. </p><p>I have so many questions about this EQ curve but I'm not about to mess with it during a eulogy. </p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ImprovAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ImprovAudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/LiveSound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LiveSound</span></a></p>

Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>My new sticker order arrived. I am trying out TheStickyBrand.com, which had a promo to get 100 of these (about 3"x2") vinyl holographic stickers for $25.</p><p>I like the way they turned out. There are some other designs I'd like to have lots of. I will order more.
