‘'You Made Me Realise’ at times truly sounds like an exorcism of sorts - like the band may just accidentally open up some kind of vortex that swallows the entire room.'

I’m extremely excited to announce the initial release of Enclosure Pro! Enclosure Pro is a precision drill-hole layout tool for effect-pedal enclosures. It’s available for Windows, Mac & Linux. I’ve been working on this for months, addressing a long-standing pain point in the pedal-building process.

Audio (sound effects, music, and dialogue) has a weird relationship with temp assets, mostly because of issues revolving around human psychology.
Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?
Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?
The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.
