All I'm saying is that if *I* was trying to pull off the biggest jailbreak in history, I'd establish myself as the world's most beloved keycutter, and then get appointed Prisons Minister.

Elon Musk's greatest fear is that someone, somewhere is using his website.

@MsEmilyEdwards @ryanbooth @JohnDellaporta Used to have one of these in live sound engineering – a fader marked ‘DFA’, which was useful for when someone asks you to turn something up/down.

DFA: Does ‘Flip’ All.

@ProfDavidNutt Listening to the audiobook right now - excellent stuff, and very well read!

Thread:
I work in an arcane field where the job requires specific technical knowledge, built on a ladder of understanding and breakthroughs going back over 100 years. It's not immunology but it's not nothing.

[Aidan O'Brien @pullthetapes]

Nothing to add to this. Thanks @stuartwarwick

@petefrasermusic It's SO GOOD! I've tried so many apps like this over the years and I'm always disappointed at how limited they are, but here the way you can record AND import your own samples, combined with how intuitive the interface is and the quantisation/automation options... fantastic.

@BryanTheColeman This is such weird timing, I was just at the Apple store this morning and spent a significant amount of time while waiting staring at various animations on different screens (including this one!) wondering about how they were put together, and who had done it. Great work!

@Efterklang Heartbreakingly I can no longer make it to Sommertræf this weekend - I have one ticket for the 25th, for sale at face value. Could you possibly retweet? Would hate for it to go to waste.

[Aidan O'Brien @pullthetapes]

@hellylovesrawk That place is AMAZING.

[Aidan O'Brien @pullthetapes]

@petefrasermusic Definitely one of the few tools I reach for as often for creative uses as I do practical ones. Great for the huge gross distortion thing, great for just tickling a bus. Don't think I've ever used it for bass like this, but I'm definitely going to try it now - sounds ace!

@petefrasermusic No one plugin has any business being that good.

It was absolute joy to work on this month’s @iluli_eu video, inspired by @DavidEpstein’s phenomenal book Range, and featuring @AOC, @danlevitin and @DrBrianMay.

Have you ever been told to give up on your dreams? Unlikely. It’s not the most positive-sounding advice, after all. But it could be precisely what’s needed to unlock your potential. Find out why expanding your range could be a game changer in my new video: https://t.co/eYfv9mZNbU

We are super psyched with this sequence's sound design from the latest @iluli_eu video we animated 🤯

@chimpspanner I do, both in terms of headroom and feeling at home - after over a decade on Logic, Ableton became my go-to DAW almost overnight. The headroom thing bugs me but they all have their flaws so it’s a case of pick your poison - I find that one relatively easy to live with.

My only Netflix stock take is that maybe it isn't actually smart to base our entire financial system on the belief that everything needs to grow constantly forever to have any value.
