No headset required. Retro Recordings XR now also runs on a flat screen: mouse and keyboard, or a controller on the couch. Walk up to the desk, step into focus, turn a knob. VR stays as it is. retrorecordingsxr.com/devlog…

A dragon painted on a wall in Bogotá, and a man went past at speed just as I raised the camera — red shirt, flowers in his mouth matching the graffiti behind him. One frame, flash, gone. Three weeks across Colombia, Andes to Caribbean. pastnorpresent.com

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: AMEK 9098i. Rupert Neve no longer owned the company with his name on it, so he designed this one for AMEK in Manchester. The last great analogue desk, arriving just as the industry went digital. 🎚️ retrorecordingsxr.com/consol…

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: Quad Eight Model 2082. In the early 1970s this was America's most widely used console brand — Motown's LA rooms, A&M, Capitol, the Record Plant. Almost nobody remembers the name. 🎚️ retrorecordingsxr.com/consol…

New devlog: how do you make a virtual mic behave like a real one — bleed, nearby speakers, maybe feedback? No raytracing. The honest version, built vs still just an idea. retrorecordingsxr.com/devlog…

No Raytracing Required: How Mics Actually "Hear" in a Virtual Studio

Someone building their own VR mixing project asked how mic bleed and speaker feedback work in a virtual studio. Explaining it out loud was a good reason to finally write the idea down — a pickup-pa...

I made this archive because of a roll of film that failed. My first solo trip around the world, 1996. The humidity jammed the film without my knowing — of Singapore I had nada, of Aussie & Fiji almost nothing. Seventy-eight photographs came home. pastnorpresent.com

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: EMI TG12345. Never sold. Never advertised. Built in-house, for Abbey Road only. The desk behind Dark Side of the Moon and the Beatles' final two albums. 🎚️ retrorecordingsxr.com/consol…

Seven Thousand Errors, One Fader, and No Date

Fader Friday — Console of the Week: Neve BCM 10. Before the 8078, there was this. Ten channels. Two output groups. Transportable. Late 1960s — Rupert Neve building the circuits that became the 1073. The Neve sound starts here. 🎚️ retrorecordingsxr.com/consol…
