Ozone 10 is finally out! My team put together a lot of exciting new features in this update—Impact, a new module focused on micro-dynamics; Stabilizer, a new “magic eq” module; and a soft clipper added to Maximizer that sounds incredible (shoutout to Kurt Werner!) to name a few. I was involved with aspects of all these, but my primary focus for this release was completely overhauling and upgrading the Master Assistant. This was the most challenging and rewarding project I’ve worked on so far.
This year, I had the opportunity to be a co-author with Kurt Werner and Ezra J. Teboul on a DAFX 2022 paper, Modeling and Extending the RCA Mark II Sound Effects Filter.
My mom and I made these pants together when I visited recently! Each leg is very wide so they are loose and flowy which is fun for dancing in. We had to adjust the pattern a bit to make the crotch seam fit correctly, which was a fun challenge.
iZotope just released Neutron 4, a mixing suite with new upgraded assistant technology. I’m not on the team that built Neutron, but teams at iZotope often interact and work together and I was lucky enough to be involved in one specific new DSP feature for this release—the “Tame” button in Neutron’s Exciter module. Designed along with my friend and colleague Kurt Werner, the Tame button is an on/off switch that completely changes the way Neutron’s exciter impacts the dynamics of a performance.
My friend Regan had a baby! I made her a baby blanket with this gigantic yarn I found, it required the largest knitting needles I’ve used before. Niko likes grabbing the thick yarn and threading his arms through the loops!
I contributed to a blog post about Complex Ambience Match, a new feature in RX 9. I was the lead for this feature, which is focused on matching background sounds that change over time, such as wind in trees or footsteps in a mall.
