- It's so shiny and metal
- headphone amp sounds fantastic
- knobs have a delicious resistance
- no drama plug and play in #Debian

Will do some #BassGuitar and maybe vocal testing today. I never really cared much for the preamps on my PreSonus Audiobox96, but I have high hopes for this box.

Rearranged my bedroom setup again to take up less space

I need to compare a reference mix to the one that my team did in the AES student mixing competition last month. #SonicVisualiser is a great tool for this, but first I need to normalize the audio tracks so they are at roughly the same perceived loudness. ffmpeg-normalize is a quick CLI tool for this purpose.

(I had to install several things to get to the point I could use this, but "you need this" first messages were helpful and clear. Yay, #Debian.) #ProAudio #MusicDev

With each diploma from the Blackbird Academy Professional School of Audio comes a Shure SM57.

There's a lesson there somewhere.
