Welcome to the Weekly Pull Request!
Welcome to the Weekly Pull Request, where I share some cool music, tech, and other interesting things I come across throughout the week.

Music
I’ve been OBSESSED with this album. The most insane guitar production I’ve ever heard. Polyphia really pulled all the stops out on this one. It’s a strange listen, that’s for sure. But highly recommend.
When I was perusing Spotify last night, I came across this single from Humanity’s Last Breath. I had no idea they released new music. And let me tell you this one is a banger. Very excited to hear what’s next from them.
If you’re into thall, or just absurdly heavy guitar production, this is the track for you.
Coffee
I built a plugin.
I will talk more about this in next week’s article. But for now, I wanted to give the Riffs Code Community a sneak peek at what’s to come for the studio.
Meet Shimmer, my first ever plugin build designed to help add that “sauce” back into your amp sims. Shimmer is designed to go at the end of the signal chain in your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation for those unfamiliar), and it adds back in pick attack and harmonic saturation to emulate the reactivity of real tubes in an analog tube amplifier.
How can you get your hands on this plugin? Well, it will be available in the coming weeks for FREE if you subscribe to Riffs Code Coffee. When it drops, be sure to subscribe and share this article with a friend to try out the plugin!
Details to come real soon 😉
Stay Creative. Stay Caffeinated.
