Best recording plugins9/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Not all guests are created equal, but on the rare near-snoozers, I find myself listening more to Lij and cheering him on. Nostalgia, humor and minutiae pervade, but so do legitimate insider tips and tricks. In addition to his own studio chops and experience, he has developed an excellent talent for interviewing the other pros, drawing out the classic tales of missteps, mayhem and meant-to-be happy accidents. Lij Shaw interviews people in the business of recording, mixing, mastering, production, songwriting and all things "recording studio". This sounds like an overstatement, but it's not. Thanks a lot Lij and keep up the great work! And what might at times seem highbrow and beyond the reach of many aspiring students of recording, Lij is able to condense into simple 'take-aways' - a credit to his broad understanding of all things sonic, but also to the needs of (some of) his audience. ![]() And of course there are a couple of engineers in the mix (excuse the pun). He also has a wonderful range of guests on the show, so rather than just listen to engineer after engineer talk gear, you might one day hear an acoustician talking spaces, and the next a songwriter talking processes and giving practical tips. Personality aside, it is clear that Lij possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge extending to all areas of sound, recording and production. This is largely due to the host Lij's wonderful manner - warm and playful, and self-deprecating almost to a fault. Like any good podcast you can take this one anywhere with you and it's like having an old friend there. So if you are on a budget for your studio but still want to make your mixes sound great then you’re going to want to listen to this episode. In fact, Mike has recently put together a list of his favourite freeware that you can find and download from anywhere right now. Mike has some great suggestions for software that you can use to get a pro mix in your studio, and not the expensive kind either. He shared lots of tips for recording drums, bass, guitars, and vocals, and even talked about various methods for setting up mics for stereo recording. Mike was on the podcast back on episode RSR124 when we got the story of his start in audio and also talked about the importance of making mistakes in the studio. He is also the author of the popular books 'Mixing Secrets For The Small Studio', and its sequel 'Recording Secrets For The Small Studio'. My guest today is Mike Senior, a professional recording, mixing engineer, teacher and writer for years at Sound On Sound magazine. He also shared the single most important thing you need to buy for your studio before mixing, and lots more! Mike shared a complete list of free plugins for your DAW that will work across all platforms. ![]()

They cannot be used while creating tables or dropping them because these operations are automatically committed in the database. Transactional control commands are only used with the DML commands INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE only. ![]() The following commands are used to control transactions −īEGIN TRANSACTION − To start a transaction.ĬOMMIT − To save the changes, alternatively you can use END TRANSACTION command. Isolation − Enables transactions to operate independently of and transparent to each other.ĭurability − Ensures that the result or effect of a committed transaction persists in case of a system failure. Transactions have the following four standard properties, usually referred to by the acronym ACID −Ītomicity − Ensures that all operations within the work unit are completed successfully otherwise, the transaction is aborted at the point of failure and previous operations are rolled back to their former state.Ĭonsistency − Ensures that the database properly changes states upon a successfully committed transaction. Practically, you will club many PostgreSQL queries into a group and you will execute all of them together as a part of a transaction. It is important to control transactions to ensure data integrity and to handle database errors. For example, if you are creating a record, updating a record, or deleting a record from the table, then you are performing transaction on the table. Transactions are units or sequences of work accomplished in a logical order, whether in a manual fashion by a user or automatically by some sort of a database program.Ī transaction is the propagation of one or more changes to the database. A transaction is a unit of work that is performed against a database. ![]() Cute black baby9/17/2023 ![]() Yohance is suitable for both baby girls and boys as it is a gender-neutral name.

After a slow start, the music video library has grown, but it’s not extensive yet. Some users cannot pinpoint any apparent gaps in Amazon Music’s product lineup, and their search findings for lesser-known musical artists point to the company’s high success rate overall. Photo by Windows Blog Amazon Music Unlimited SpecsĪmazon claims that they provide access to over 90 million songs, and the homepage of Music Unlimited directs users to newly released music, music deemed “popular,” recommended music, and playlists. As an essential tool for musicians who want to share their work, the platform also attracts an ever-expanding fan base and introduces innovative new features. In the end, many benefits come with using Amazon Music Unlimited as a streaming platform. You can also use Alexa-powered smart speakers like the Amazon Echo Studio as a remote control with just a few voice signals.

You can manually select intervals to change the picture selection. The Aura frame’s smart features also extend to presentation. I tried the feature and it worked perfectly.

In this case, filters are used and Aura skips any photos with nudity, official documents, and also rejects poor quality photos (red eye, blur, poor lighting, etc.). In addition, the app offers Smart Select that can automatically upload new photos from your phone as they’re snapped (iCloud and Google Photos are also supported). There are a number of smart features that really make the Aura frame stand out.įirst, when manually selecting photos, the app will alert you if the resolution is too low (low quality photos can have a pixelated or blown out appearance), or if the orientation is wrong for the way the frame is set up -giving you the option to “reposition” or crop them. A little tweaking and it subsequently worked. I only ran into one photo that failed to display properly, but it turned out to have been taken with a BlackBerry. The majority of our photos were taken with various iPhones and Nikon DSLRs. If your internet connection drops, the Aura frame will continue to display the locally stored photos, although the company says that if knocked offline for an extended period, it “will not operate fully.” Delete a photo from your phone’s camera roll and so long as it remains selected in the Aura app, it remains on your frame. Delete it from the app, and it's gone from the frame. Photos are also stored securely on Amazon S3 servers, giving you unlimited photo storage.

One of the limitations that holds many photo frames back is storage, and on the Aura -which has an ultra-high resolution display- that problem could have been significant.
Roger deakins bong joon ho9/17/2023 ![]() I've been selfish, I've been cruel at times and hard to work with. ![]() In his acceptance speech, Phoenix spoke deliberately about a host of issues, including sexism and racism in the film industry, ecological disaster and vegetarianism. Phoenix, long one of Hollywood's most respected actors, took best actor for his limber but morose Joker. Zellweger completed a comeback, winning her second Academy Award for her fragile but indomitable Judy Garland in "Judy." Dern won for her performance as a divorce attorney in Noah Baumbach's "Marriage Story." Accepting her first Oscar, Dern thanked her in-attendance parents, "my legends, Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern." "Once upon a time in Hollywood," said Pitt. Pitt said the honor had given him reason to reflect on his fairy-tale journey in the film industry, going back to when he moved to Los Angeles from Missouri. "I'm thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it." "They told me I have 45 seconds to speak, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week," Pitt said, alluding to the impeachment hearings before mentioning director Quentin Tarantino. While Pitt, notching his first acting Oscar, had regaled audiences with one-liners in the run-up to Sunday, he began his comments on a political note. In the end, "1917" went home with three awards for its technical virtuosity: Roger Deakins' cinematography, visual effects and sound mixing.Īll of the acting winners - Brad Pitt, Renée Zellweger, Joaquin Phoenix and Laura Dern - went as expected. Sam Mendes' audaciously conceived World War I film "1917," made to seem one continuous shot, had been the clear favorite heading into Oscars, having won nearly all the precursor awards, including top honors from the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild, the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs. In doing so, the film academy turned away another history-making event, again denying Netflix its first best-picture win despite two contenders in "The Irishman" and "Marriage Story," and a big-spending awards campaign blitz. No Korean film had ever won an Oscar before. ![]() ![]() But the triumph for "Parasite," the Palme d'Or-winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival, enabled Hollywood to flip the script and signal progress, nevertheless. The victory for "Parasite" - which had echoes of the surprise win by "Moonlight" over "La La Land" three years ago - came in a year when many criticized the lack of diversity in the nominees and the absence of female filmmakers. "It's really f-ing crazy," he told reporters, clutching his awards. Unexpectedly called up again for best director, Bong saluted his fellow nominees, particularly Martin Scorsese, and concluded: "Now I'm ready to drink until tomorrow."Īfter the Dolby Theatre had emptied out, the "Parasite" team still remained on the stage, soaking in their win. "I am ready to drink tonight," Bong said, prompting roars from the crowd. Multiple standing ovations greeted Bong's several wins. But in recent years, to diversify its membership, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has invited many more overseas voters. ![]() The win was a watershed moment for the Academy Awards, which has long been content to relegate international films to their own category. True to its name, "Parasite" simply got under the skin of Oscar voters, attaching itself to the American awards season and, ultimately, to history. In Hollywood," "The Irishman" - the film academy instead went overseas, to South Korea, to reward a contemporary and unsettling portrait of social inequality in "Parasite." In a year dominated by period epics - "1917," "Once Upon a Time. "Parasite" took Hollywood's top prize on Sunday night, along with awards for best director, best international film and best screenplay. LOS ANGELES - In a milestone win that instantly expanded the Oscars' horizons, Bong Joon Ho's masterfully devious class satire "Parasite" became the first non-English language film to win best picture in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards. ![]() Ghost buster toys9/17/2023 ![]() This was followed by a third wave for the Christmas season of 1987.Ī further 8 waves followed up until 1991, making The Real Ghostbusters one of Kenners most popular toy lines.
