![]() There are a couple new recording features that have come out since I decided to preserve my recording system as-is, and never upgrade again. Oh and too bad it doesn’t have transport controls… enjoy wearing out your even-more-thinner Magic Keyboard that’s low on battery. And then you can buy an Avid Artist Mix controller for $995 just to be pissed off every time you hope to get some work done, because you are admittedly not the network engineer it needs to get it working right. Or you could spend $500 to buy a reasonably nice new interface with the same number of inputs and no control surface. My uncle just bought one for $300 in 2019. I spent $2,500 in 2010 on my Digi 003 Factory control surface/interface. That’s how dedicated I am to keeping what works, working.įurthermore, you’ll get more bang for the buck with “old” stuff. I would also still be running version 8 if upgrading required a new operating system or some other undesired overhaul. If I hadn’t scored an inexpensive package upgrade to 10 & 11, I would still be running version 8. Oh the horror! The miserable peasants from 2009 had to survive with only 512 MIDI tracks, enter track names one at a time, and worst of all – no support for Ambisonics! Pro Tools 8 has at least that 80% of the workflow and capabilities of later iterations. Or, keep using the same less-new tools that are perfectly legitimate.Ĭertainly, you’ll be missing some amazing new features. Cut your teeth, make sure you want to keep cutting your teeth, and then invest but only if you need to. Figure out that you need to invest thousands of hours on this pursuit BEFORE spending money on new features that weren’t available anyway, only a short time ago. My philosophy is this – if you want to learn how to record and are cost-conscious, why not start off with a top of the line system from last decade (hey, if it worked great in the 70’s or in 2009, it can still do the same job today!!!)ĭon’t waste thousands of dollars getting caught up in Neomania. I peruse the /r/ProTools subreddit, and some have been very resistant to my recommendations of employing an older system. Regardless, you get 80% of the functionality for 20% of the price (actually it’s probably more like 90/10). But what if you had a, say, 2009 studio drop in your lap for the entry price of 1/10th what it cost new? Now you’d have Auto-Tune, but maybe not 32bit floating point calculations and unlimited track count like a standard system today does. Right? Obviously that’s not going to happen. But that’s a small price to pay for someone dropping this studio in your lap, free of charge. SO, if you had a perfectly preserved studio from the 1970’s, you would be able to produce some amazing recordings, right? Granted, you would be missing Auto-Tune from your arsenal. But also that recording technology manufacturers were designing for best quality, not for best consumer market viability… because that market didn’t really exist yet. Meaning that recording was serious business and few had studio time to produce trash. Why? Well, I’m not much of a historian, but I will claim that that era was the perfect intersection of recording quality and high cost of entry. I would claim that music recording quality peaked in the 70’s. But do read on and try to see the merit in what I’m about to present. I am going to put forth an anti- neomaniac attitude, and if you don’t jive with that I totally understand and I still love you. ![]() If you covet the new touch bar on Apple’s latest abomination Macbook Pro, this post is definitely not for you. That being said, if you foolishly faithfully bought the iPhone X within 2 years of its release, this post is probably not for you. …and some, but not nearly as much, money. Suddenly your cart is $8000+ and you thought you would save money by doing it yourself? Well, my friends… There is a way to build your own versatile home recording studio with Pro Tools for very little money, and all it takes is some perspective… But you also look at how little-more it costs to get that significantly better interface or microphone (while trying to save money on cables – a bad idea). When you go to spec out a home studio through your favorite online retailer, you start to notice that the price of software and hardware stacks up. ![]() It’s an amazing resource to have at your beckoning! So few musicians who want to record their music are going to have the resource to constantly record in a professional studio. Everyone* wants to have their own home studio.

![]() Indie, of course, was not born in the 1990s. Ascending Peak Indie: the birth of a heyday Kurt Cobain performs with Nirvana at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards. For a series of reasons that would have been hard to discern at the time, 1997 stands as both Peak Indie and the beginning of the end for the style’s heyday. To those who lived through the period, it seemed like it would last forever.īut youth, like cultural history, rarely signals when it is about to disappear. “THAT’S why 1997 was the best year for music,” girlfriend says to boyfriend while she grabs what is probably a soy latte.Īnd it really is stunning to see what a single 12-month period produced: Sleater-Kinney’s Dig Me Out, Built to Spill’s Perfect From Now On, Pavement’s Brighten the Corners, Spiritualized’s Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, and numerous others. Two still-young music lovers stand in a kitchen, Mercury Rev poster on the wall, recalling some of the great albums that dropped that year. But to many enthusiasts of indie rock, 1997, two decades ago exactly, established a kind of high-water mark.Ī web comic called Questionable Content - set in the hipsterville of Northampton, Massachusetts - captured the feeling unambiguously. You may have to select a menu option or click a button.Given the way audiences and tastes have shifted since, there will probably never again be a musical year as iconic - recognizable to everyone for a handful of undeniable reference points - as the Summer of Love (1967) or the year punk broke (1977).

In January 2023, they finally announced their debut LP and released three tracks - “$20,” “Emily I’m Sorry” and “True Blue.” Then, they eventually put out the song “Not Strong Enough.”Īccording to Bridgers, the COVID-19 pandemic is what brought them together again. In 2020, they dropped demos for “Bite the Hand,” “Me and My Dog” and “Stay Down” - they were only available for 24 hours on Bandcamp. I also think genius is a weird, toxic word to use for anybody because it’s unattainable or it comes with, a lot of the time, abusive tendencies.”īoygenius released a self-titled EP in 2018, consisting of six tracks. So a ‘boygenius’ is someone who their whole life has been told that their ideas are genius. That they should listen instead of speak and all that stuff. In the 2018 interview with Vogue, Bridgers explained, “Men are taught to be entitled to space and that their ideas should be heard because they’re great ideas and women are taught the opposite. What inspired their name?Īccording to Rolling Stone, the group came up with boygenius as their band name in reference to “overconfident men who are praised for their every thought.” They all became friends and went on to form a supergroup. From there, Baker connected Dacus and Bridgers. “We just kept in touch over email, constantly recommending books to each other, seeking each other’s wisdom, and she has always told me about Phoebe,” Dacus told Vogue in 2018. Dacus and Baker met first, forming a friendship that happened after Dacus opened a show for Baker in 2016. ![]() ![]() VSelect features an overlay of the currently used motif. It aims to add a graphical user interface to the installation of characters beyond manual editing of the f file. It is an adventure / RPG game and a history lesson all rolled into one. VSelect is a M.U.G.E.N character select screen editing tool created by Tunglashor. After that, it becomes the top-down hack-n-slash game in the style of Diablo series with the accent on obtaining various loot. Evoland was released on Steam on April 4, 2013. Then the game changes its combat system to turn-based imitating Final Fantasy series with its random encounters and party system. Like Zelda, it features different puzzles and dungeons throughout the game. Feel free to email, tweet or leave comments - Ill still be readingIf you. Time traveling back to before Velvet and Menos had her and so not knowing her which is the one we meet in the year 949. They havent missed a beat here, the game is full of plenty of characters to. The Ceres we eventually fight is actually a past Ceres. Evoland Legendary Edition consists of two games, Evoland and Evoland 2. The first is top-down adventure similar to older The Legend of Zelda titles. Evoland - Part 9 - Character Selection - YouTube This video is being uploaded while Im away in Florida for two weeks. My theory for the Time loop: Ceres: yes Menos and Velvet give birth to Ceres. It can be divided into three main parts, each one resembling a certain game series. The game starts as a monochrome top-down adventure with no sound and gradually, as the player progresses through the story, transforms into full-fledged 3D RPG with soundtrack, different settlements throughout the game world, side-quests, NPCs and equipment system.Įvoland’s gameplay continually changes. The main feature of the game is unlocking of graphical, sound and gameplay improvements. Well, her name is actually Bibi, but yeah, go to her and give her mana after selecting the Awaken ally selection. Evoland Legendary Edition Género/s: Action-RPG / JRPG Plataformas: Ficha técnica de la versión PS4 Fecha de lanzamiento: Desarrollo: Shiro Games Producción: Shiro Games Distribución. The game’s dialogues, items descriptions, and overall style are filled with humor, parody, and references to iconic video game series. It takes place in the world of Evolandia and follows a typical story of a chosen one and his fight against evil forces. The game is centered on the theme of action-adventure video games evolution. It is the debut project by French development company Shiro Games. ![]() Luminaries are a beautiful way to honor and memorialize loved ones. Several states and cities in the U.S. and abroad have also passed laws regarding mass balloon releases after years of witnessing their detrimental effects. Fish and Wildlife Service and local chapters of the National Audubon Society to urge people to stop releasing balloons and instead find more humane alternatives that are safer for animals and our planet. The negative impact on animals and the environment prompted the U.S. Birds have been found injured with ribbons wrapped around their beaks or wings, and have strangled themselves when they become entangled in strings attached to trees or power lines. And just like marine animals, they can succumb to a painful death after ingesting balloons. Wildlife can also fall victim to balloons and balloon strings when the pieces fall to the ground or onto trees and bushes. ![]() When the pieces of latex or Mylar are mistaken for food and ingested, they can get lodged in the digestive tract, inhibiting animal’s ability to eat and causing a slow and painful death by starvation. The cost varies based on size, but it can still be way more affordable than paying for custom framing.When balloons make their way into the water, their tattered ends and floating pieces can resemble jellyfish or other sea life consumed by marine animals such as sea turtles, fish, and dolphins. If you find it difficult to source frames that have mats the size you need, custom mats can easily be created for you. Locate a framing or craft store in your area that offers custom frames, give them your measurements, and they’ll whip one up for you. On a budget? Go for store-bought frames and custom mats. Antique and second-hand stores often sell framed prints for a bargain, and you can find really unique pieces to showcase your art. You can sometimes find great frames in the art sections of stores - just pull out the generic print and replace with your own. Use one element to create a cohesive look on your gallery wall -whether it be a finish, a theme, or a color-or throw caution to the wind and go with something fun and eclectic. Where to start? Some of my favorite stores to shop for frames include Target, IKEA, HomeGoods, and even Amazon, where regular-size frames can be found for prices that won't break the bank. We want you to be 100% happy with your art, so please reach if you have any concerns or questions.
