    In terms of plugins, I use Reaper's stock ReaEQ, ReaComp, JS: 1175, JS: Transient Controller, and ReaVerb.

    To give reverb some real-life character, I use IR files from the EchoThief project. The IR files are models of real sound reflections in real spaces.

    In terms of tape saturation, I use ChowDSP Chow Tape Model, which is a fantastic open source project originally based on the Sony TC-260 reel-to-reel tape machine. I chose this plugin because it is free and open source.

    I do use Google Gemini to plan aspects of this project - AI can be a useful tool for researching, planning, and scheduling workflows. Beyond that, the project remains fully human and focused on expanding my own creative limits.

    I use my iPhone 17 Pro and the Cinema P3 app to capture video of recording sessions. I also use GoPro Hero action cameras for additional footage and camera angles.

    Everything is recorded in 4k at 60 fps and a shutter speed of 120. iPhone footage is captured using the ProRes 422 codec and Apple Log 2.

    All footage is edited and combined with mastered audio in Davinci Resolve. I do not use AI effects. At most, I apply color grading, film grain, and simple transitions.
