I'm not one for the hype, but I think Mac studio is going to be for me… just sayin'

Sometimes I wonder if some colorists have ever seen grass and trees.

Let's give students a government subsidized zero percent loan instead of just deciding that the ones who chose to take loans don't have to pay them back. Forgiving student loan debt is one the worst uses of my tax dollars I can think of.

When software you use every day decides “you can’t work right now, because we’ve decided you need the latest version, and we’re not going to bother to tell you before you’re ready to start ACTUALLY WORKING!” I’m talking to you Avid (EUCON) and iLok!

Should I use X? I used to use Twitter to post useful information about sound, mostly for editors. I’ve been off for a long time. For my followers who are still active, I would appreciate any advice. I will read every comment, so please interact! Even just the poll. Thank you!

To filmmakers, producers, etc: How much of a total film budget do you typically allocate to post production in general, and audio post specifically? Obviously case-by-case, but are there guidelines for different tier budgets?
