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.
How to Match Ambience for Film and TV with RX 9
iZotope has released RX 9! This release was exciting for me because it was my first time in a leadership role; I was the tech lead for the new Complex Ambience Match feature. Taking it from a brand new prototype through user sessions and building it up to a feature ready to be released was such a rewarding experience.
As a tech lead, I got to work with project management, user testing and iteration, setting the scope of an MVP project, and communication about the project outside of Engineering. I’m very proud of what we were able to make and excited to see where it goes in future updates.
The official RX9 press release is available here.
My cousin Juli had a baby! I knitted a baby blanket for her, my first time making a blanket. I experimented with alternating knit and purl stitches in chunks to make a checkerboard pattern. It ended up not being very square, because my stitches got tighter at the end when I was worried about running out of yarn. Regardless, it is soft and cuddly which is what matters for a baby blanket. It was so fun knitting with gigantic yarn.
