Life Update (Mar 3, 2026)

Hello! This is Jooyoung Kim, an audio engineer and music producer.

This semester, I’m teaching at three different institutions: a junior college, a university, and a graduate school. Since they are located in different cities, I’ve been completely exhausted lately (I have to travel to Osan on Mondays, Daegu on Tuesdays, and Seoul on Wednesdays). Because I was preparing those class materials, my February passed in a blur.

Additionally, every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I wake up at 6 a.m. for English speaking classes, and I spend my weekends taking several courses to prepare for the TOEFL. While I feel incredibly grateful and blessed, the lack of time for my own music-making is really weighing on me…


A research paper I submitted last year is currently under review. Meanwhile, I have completed another project involving a deep learning-based hardware compressor simulation and am now conducting listening experiments with participants. Tomorrow, I’ll meet last two subjects, and finally, it will be done. However, I’ve got to interpret the result and discuss what those things mean. It must take few days..


I chose a “TAKACHI” rack case to house my DIY audio hardware circuit and had an in-depth conversation with the manager. I really appreciate him. However, the enclosure was quite expensive due to the machining (drilling) process. I’ll talk all about that in another post.


Yap.. That’s all..! Quite simple, isn’t it? There was nothing interesting in my recent life. I must rest right now. Writing also makes me exhausted. See you in the next post..!
