![]() Geoff decided not to manufacture that and that irritated Dave enough that he wanted to go make it himself. He had a really cool idea for mixing consoles that would make things go faster and smoother in the studio, it was intended to be made up of the new syncable machines you’d have not just 16 but 24-32 tracks recording at a time, so he developed the Harrison 32 Series console (he actually took the idea to Geoff Harnett). He also had a company called Studio Supply and he would go build studios and install these MCI consoles and tape machines. Harrison was the designer for some of later MCI console models. Dave Harrison was collaborating with Geoff Harnett and they were building MCI consoles. I’ve been here about 15-16 years, which is a long time to work somewhere but short in the scheme of things. I came in relatively late in the Harrison company. I can’t wait to learn more about MixBus and how it can help you make your best record ever. I am super excited to be joining you from right here at the Harrison Console Factory in Nashville TN. ![]() During that time he's been part of many product launches, both large and small.īefore Harrison, Ben worked at a commercial audio company called IED, where he developed custom audio software for clients as varied as NASA, Fort Knox, and Caesar's Palace. MIXBUS is the first full-featured DAW with true analog style mixing.īen has been at Harrison for over 15 years, which puts him right in the middle of the Harrison family with some of the employees having been with the company since the very beginning in 1975. Where other DAWs might use a computer paradigm, MIXBUS grows from Harrisonʼs distinguished 40-year heritage of platinum records, such as Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Paul Simon’s Graceland, and the blockbuster film Spider-Man to name a few. Harrison also makes a unique digital audio workstation, The MixBus32C, following an analog paradigm that embodies form, function, and sound. From its Nashville, Tennessee facilities, Harrison designs, manufactures and markets large-format, professional audio mixing consoles for international film and television production, post-production, broadcasting, sound reinforcement and music recording markets. He is also an all-around developer, and partner in the company. My guest today is Ben Loftis the product manager for the Harrison’s workstation products.

![]() Some say that it might be related to the recent Sonos vs Google ruling, but we can’t say anything for sure. Users say they tried fiddling with the settings, re-adding the stereo pairs, and resetting the devices but it doesn’t help. Many say that whenever they try to change the volume, Google says ‘Sorry, I can’t change the volume from this device’. If you don’t know, the Stereo Pair feature allows you to use two compatible Google Assistant speakers as left and right speakers. Now, Google Nest users are reporting that volume controls are not working when using the ‘Stereo Pair’ feature. That being said, a few months ago, an initial ruling in the Google vs Sonos case ruled that the Mountain View-based company had indeed infringed upon Sonos patents. Since then, Nest has released several successful products and is tightly integrated with Google Assistant. The tech giant recently embraced Nest and merged it into their home-devices unit. If you are someone who is into smart home devices, you must be familiar with the Google Nest product lineup. Original story (published on December 21, 2021) follows: ![]() Currently, Pixel Android phones are supported for three years (which is not even at the top of the Android market anymore), while Chromebooks get up to eight years of updates.New updates are being added at the bottom of this story… This is apparently something UL (Underwriter’s Labs) certification demands of all carbon monoxide alarms.įive years of support is pretty middle-of-the-road for Google. Nest Protects, the smoke detectors, have a hard self-destruct date programmed into them-seven years for the first model, released in 2013, and 10 years for the second-gen model released in 2015. Many of the Nest Thermostats are very old, and while a Google support page says the last software update for most models was released in 2019, even the 2011 model still works. Lots of Nest products are well over this five-year support window and still work. The product relies on the Google Cloud to work, so I would not put money on it lasting much longer than that. With today's announcement, we now know that the Nest Secure will continue to work and get security updates until at least November 2022. Google now has no commercial reason to continue to develop the software, and the company said to not expect any new features going forward. The product lasted from 2017 to 2020, and with its discontinuation, Google has left the home security market. Advertisementįurther Reading Google kills the Nest Secure, its $500 home security systemAll these old products could keep on trucking by running similar software still being maintained for current products, but of particular concern is the Nest Secure, Google's first and only home security system. Dumb speakers can last for decades, so hopefully these products will get better than bare-minimum support. The original Google Home smart speaker, which launched in 2016, will hit the end of its guaranteed life in November of this year, while the Home Mini and the discontinued Home Max could be shut down as early as late next year. Today's announcement applies to the Nest Audio speakers, Nest Hub smart displays, Nest Thermostats, Nest Protect smoke detector, Nest cameras, Nest Wi-Fi, the discontinued Nest Secure alarm system, the Nest x Yale lock, and less obvious devices like the Google Home smart speakers (which were replaced by Nest Audio), Google Wi-Fi (replaced by Nest Wi-Fi), and the entire Chromecast line, including the new Google TV dongle.Īnything on this list could last longer than five years, but a few notable products will be hitting the end of their guaranteed support timelines soon. Inconsistent branding means that it has been tough to pin down Google's definition of "Google Nest" products, but the company now has a support page that helpfully spells out every included model. The company has committed to supporting all Google Nest products with "critical bug fixes and patches" for at least five years. Google's latest blog post finally gives a minimum public support timeline for all of its "Google Nest" smart home products. ![]() To date, one of the most significant results achieved has been the extension of conventional UV photography to more advanced spectroscopy and imaging methods to examine luminescence from surfaces. The group has been established with the aim of developing novel optical methods for studying in non-invasive way materials of cultural interest. The research described in this thesis has been carried out at the Imaging and Spectroscopy for Cultural Heritage Laboratory of the Physics Department of Politecnico di Milano. ![]() The painting under study was furthermore compared with artworks of renowned forgers in an attempt to identify the forger in disguise. The painting was created at the earliest in the 1930s possibly as a consequence of the rediscovery of Ruyscher, and the deliberate use of an aged panel supports an intent to deceive and hence classifies the object as a forgery. The applied methodology sheds new light on the story of the object itself. Radiocarbon analyses of the wooden panel indicated that the tree was probably cut down in the mid-eighteenth century, whereas spectroscopic analyses pinpointed the twentieth century as a timeframe for the application of the pictorial layers. In this research paper, the combination of multiple analytical techniques ranging from radiocarbon dating of the support material to multispectral imaging and spectroscopic analyses (XRF, SEM-EDS, FTIR and Raman) of the pictorial layer offers a comprehensive analysis of the object. Despite a prestigious career, Ruyscher, who possibly was a pupil of Rembrandt and Hercules Seghers, vanished from art history after his death and was only rediscovered in the 1930s. In 2014, a painting attributed to the seventeenth century Dutch artist Jan Ruyscher appeared on the art market. ![]() In the selected samples, the method allows the identification of modern inorganic pigments such as cadmium-based pigments, zinc white, titanium white, chrome yellow, ultramarine and cinnabar. The effectiveness and limits of the proposed combined method is discussed through analysis of a corpus of stratigraphic micro-samples from Russian Avant-garde modern paintings. The spatial heterogeneities, detected in the micro-sample, are investigated with Raman spectroscopy (785-nm in CW mode) for a further identification of the paint composition on basis of the molecular vibrations associated with the crystal structure. In this work, the technique is beneficially applied for identifying different luminescent semiconductor and mineral pigments, on the basis of their spectral and decay kinetic emission properties. The TRPL device is based on pulsed laser excitation (excitation wavelength = 355 nm, 1 ns pulse width) and time-gated detection, and it is suitable for the detection of photolu-minescent emissions with lifetime from few nanoseconds to hundreds of microseconds. In this context, we propose a combined-microscopy approach based on the application of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) micro-imaging and micro-Raman spectroscopy. For these purposes, the study of stratigraphic micro-samples provides unique information on the complex heterogeneity of the pictorial artworks. ![]() In conservation science, the identification of painting materials is fundamental for the study of artists' palettes, for dating and for understanding ongoing degradation phenomena. ![]() Evasion of enemies is often a more viable strategy instead of fighting. Jennifer is a timid character: her melee attacks are neither powerful nor long-ranged. Ĭombat is almost exclusively melee-based, with a variety of improvised weapons available, such as kitchen knives and pipes. ĭescribed as "essentially an interactive movie" by its director Shuji Ishikawa and associate producer Yuya Takayama, the narrative of Rule of Rose centers on the traumatic childhood memories of Jennifer, "an ordinary, vulnerable girl" these memories sometimes manifest in exaggerated ways. Rule of Rose is a survival horror game in which the player guides Jennifer through exploring the game environments and advances the plot by accomplishing tasks while sporadically encountering enemies and bosses. The player character Jennifer and Brown find themselves surrounded by hostile imps. The game has been compared to Silent Hill and Haunting Ground, due to the psychological horror used throughout and because the main character is accompanied by a canine companion. Rule of Rose received mixed reviews from many publications reactions to the story, music, and horror elements were almost universally positive, while the gameplay was panned. The game was cancelled in the United Kingdom, despite the Video Standards Council calling the complaints "nonsense". Various European authorities condemned the game and called for its banning. These rumors ranged from erotic themes and obscene brutality. Rule of Rose was the subject of a moral panic in Europe prior to its publication there, based on rumors of its alleged content. ![]() The entire score was produced by studio musicians in order to bring a human element to the game's atmosphere. The team drew inspiration from the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales for the narrative, and the Silent Hill series for graphics and art style. This decision led to the concept of childhood, specifically the "mysterious and misunderstood" nature of young girls. Punchline wanted to develop a "new type of horror game" with an emphasis on psychological horror. After Sony Computer Entertainment's American and European branch did not express interest in localizing the title, it was published later that year by Atlus USA in North America and by 505 Games in Europe.ĭevelopment on Rule of Rose began after Punchline was asked by Sony Computer Entertainment to make a horror game. It was first released in 2006 by Sony Computer Entertainment in Japan. Set in England in 1930, the plot revolves around a nineteen-year-old woman named Jennifer, who becomes trapped in a world ruled by young girls who have established a class hierarchy called the Red Crayon Aristocrats. Rule of Rose is a survival horror video game developed by Punchline for the PlayStation 2. You might also recognize the Pasadena City Hall on 100 North Garfield Avenue that was used to shoot the wedding scene of Hal and Fiona. In addition, Big Andy’s car wash in the movie is actually Jerzy Boy’z Car Wash at 777 Miraflores Avenue in San Pedro. Located at 615 South Broadway, the iconic building is a historic movie palace that can seat up to 2000 people. At the same time, the indoor scenes for the Halloween Homecoming dance were reportedly shot at the Los Angeles Theatre. Some important scenes were shot at Autry Overlook at 8601 Mulholland Drive. The Mark Rosman directorial was also filmed in Los Angeles. The exact address of the property is 1272 East Calaveras Street, Altadena. The census-designated region is home to more than 42,000 people, and interestingly the house which Sam shares with her stepfamily is also situated here. The exterior shots of the Halloween dance where Sam takes a walk with Austin were filmed in The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens located at 1151 Oxford Road.Īltadena, which is just a few miles north of Pasadena, is one of the important filming sites for the movie. Movies like ‘ The Holiday,’ ‘Father of the Bride,’ and ‘ The Wedding Singer‘ were all filmed here. Located in Los Angeles County, the residential city is a popular filming destination. The cast and crew filmed some crucial scenes in San Marino as well. Apart from ‘A Cinderella Story,’ the public institution features in several movies such as ‘Liar Liar,’ ‘Not Another Teen Movie,’ ‘Drive Me Crazy,’ and ‘Leave it to Beaver.’ Image Credit: CBS Los Angeles/YouTube San Marino, California The production in the region took place majorly at the Spanish-style Monrovia High School (located at 845 West Colorado Boulevard), which doubles as the North Valley High School. Located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in LA County, Monrovia serves as one of the key shooting locations for the movie. ![]() The interiors of Fiona’s Diner and Sam’s bedroom were created on one of the soundstages by the production designer, Charles William Breen. The production team of the teen comedy movie utilized stage 21 and stage 22 specifically. Founded in 1926, the studio offers 37 sound stages, 14 exterior sets along with other top-notch filming services. Studios, Burbank, located at 4000 Warner Boulevard. Shooting in the region was done entirely in Warner Bros. Burbank, Californiaīurbank is one of many filming locations for ‘A Cinderella Story.’ The city is located in the southeastern part of the San Fernando Valley in LA County. Now that we have a broad idea of where the movie is shot, let’s learn more about the exact filming locations. Although the teen comedy was made with a budget of $19 million, it eventually ended up earning $70.1 million. ![]() The shooting for the movie began in late June 2003 and concluded a few months later, in September 2003. ‘A Cinderella Story’ was filmed entirely in California. Curious to learn more about where the cult classic was filmed? Allow us to be your guide. Sam lives in the attic while her stepmother and stepsisters enjoy the beautiful house that once belonged to her father. That can be adequately described as a major difference, although the premise of the story is basically the same.The modern-day love affair with roots in a classic fairytale was filmed in locations that best captures the life of a teenager troubled by a stepfamily. In the original Cinderella story there is no slipper or pumpkin coach. It is mostly the same as the story we all know, except for a few major differences. The original Cinderella story dates way back to the 1st century BC. The original Cinderella story has ancient origins ![]() She reunites with her prince after fitting the shoe and she marries him and her wicked sisters marry Lords and they all live happily ever after. She goes to a ball in a magic pumpkin coach and loses a glass slipper when leaving. The tale as we mostly know it has poor Cinderella serving as a slave to to her wicked step mother and sisters. We continue now with the original Cinderella story, which too had a sinister ending, and several variations. We are well on our way through the weird and twisted original fairy tales that may well sit much more comfortably within the horror section of a library than the children’s section. ![]() Time lapse editing/editing from singular imagesĮdit white balance, exposure, contrast, etc. Here’s a short rundown of the differences: Feature Either way, Quik and Studio work hand in hand so if you plan on using one you will most likely want to use the other. I’m not really sure why GoPro decided to split the software into two apps since it appears they could’ve combined them to get the same functionality. Don’t use a hammer to kill a fly! And while GoPro no longer offers this software on their website, it can be found elsewhere on the web if it's something you're interested in using. However, if all you need is a simple tweak of the video settings then Studio is more than enough. This is particularly useful when combined with our Blink Time Lapse Controller since this will power down the camera in between shots to conserve battery.Ĭompared to full blown editing software such as Adobe Premier or Final Cut, GoPro Studio can be somewhat limiting. not desktop apps 8/10 - Download OctoPrint kostenlos OctoPrint on OctoPi ships with correctly. One great feature that is only available with GoPro Studio (not Quik) is the ability to create a time lapse movie from singular images without having to use the ‘Time Lapse’ setting on the camera. Im having trouble making the GoPro work with Octoprint. You can also add templates, music, and title blocks to your videos. Step 3 Connect the camera via the USB cable. Step 2 Create and login into your GoPro account. Head over to the GoPro website, download a copy of the GoPro Quik Desktop app, and install it on your computer.

Floating Handgrip GoPro’s don’t float, so it’s important to have it attached to a floating device if you go swimming. It’s primary purpose is to help users quickly (hence the name!) upload content from the camera, make simple edits, and post it to Facebook or Youtube. In short, Quik is a lite editing software to help you access, manage, and share your content. With the release of the HERO5 product line, GoPro split their editing software into GoPro Studio and GoPro Quik. Basically, what it does is allow you to import your GoPro clips, select your favorite clips using a Highlight tag, and then it edits your video for youincluding adding music.

With Skype 6.0 you can use swipe gestures to quickly make calls and easily manage your messages. The new navigation is simple, familiar and gets you to your conversations fast. Redesigned for iPhone and iPad–We’ve redesigned Skype for both iPhone and iPad to make the apps easier to use than ever before.Summing up, here’s what’s new in Skype 6.0 for iOS: Other new features in Skype for iPad include location sharing, new large animated emoticons, starting groups and chats, interacting with notifications and sharing and receiving photos more easily.Īll of these features were present in Skype’s iPhone app for quite some time now but they’re now accessible on iPads, too. The Android edition of Skype has gained a new look in line with Google’s Material Design language, as shown above. In addition to the aforementioned improvement, Skype’s somewhat neglected iPad app has also gained a few specific features of its own, including the ability to add contacts to Skype from your iOS address book. For instance, an improved search feature makes it easier and faster than before to search acrosss conversation content, groups and your contacts.Īnd lastly, Skype for iOS now allows you to switch between the call and chat screens to share photos, web links, locations and more, while you talk.

Multitasking and new lookĪs attested by the teaser image top of post, Skype’s mobile app is now easier on the eyes, sleeker, more logical to navigate and definitely better looking than before. The new Skype 6.0 for iPhone and Skype 6.0 for iPad (still two separate downloads) features a sleeker look that the company says was “built for both the iPhone and iPad,” includes simpler navigation, a more powerful search and improved multi-tasking when switching between call and chat screens. Microsoft-owned Skype on Thursday announced a major redesign of its mobile application for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices. I do miss interacting with the other girls. But at the same time, we can have some fun. With both of us in control, we can make things normal again and still have that." Alex insisted. This is what you wanted from the beginning, right? You wanted a route to me, and you have it. "You're so thoughtful, Alex.but I don't want to share you like that." Monika said frankly. This was a surprisingly diplomatic solution the only problem would be that the other girls are still programmed to eventually fall in love with Alex as the player. Well, why don't we write a story together? One where everyone is happy? I think we could do it." Alex suggested. "Hey, that's cheating, you know." She pointed out, knowing that he had seen the ending of this game somewhere online. "And I know you have all the other files stored away – including the other girls." He added. "Well, you still have control over everything, don't you?" Alex asked. Her eyebrows went up then lowered again slightly as she leaned forward, resting her chin atop her interlaced fingers, "Do tell. "Really?" Monika's eyes momentarily widened in surprise. "Yeah, it has.but I'd like to make it up to you." He brought up, raising his eyes to look at her again. "Well, in any case, I am glad you're back. He was never good at hiding his feelings. That's all." He replied, managing a smile. Something had changed for him something that was now bringing him back to her. Not to mention, like, I know it took you a long time to warm up to talking to me after everything that happened when you first showed up." Monika went through her thought process. Games are just designed to be beaten and then you move onto the next one. "Of what?" Alex asked, raising his eyebrow and tilting his head slightly. It's just kind of the nature of this, you know?" She said. She was familiar with the words he always chose when apologizing. He often gave the same excuses when it came to being away. "Somewhere in the middle, I think," Alex answered, getting comfortable in his seat. How long has it been now? A year? Two years?" Monika asked. "It's because I always miss you when you're away. Isn't that what I would want by chastising him? Ugh. No, that would probably just make him feel bad. Do I chastise him for being away all this time? Perhaps I could just tease him about it. Her mind was racing, debating on what approach to take:ĭo I just express that I'm happy to see him again? Of course I am, but it's been so long. Monika waited a little bit before responding. Monika had already slid the front of his desk up against hers so that they could sit and face each other. "You always say things like that." Alex responded with a small chuckle, stalking into the room and slowly making his way to his desk. ![]() "But I did think the curly hair was cute, back when you had that." She added to her comment. "So is that your new look? I like it." She smiled at him, staring at a new color: the dark brown circles of his eyes that looked almost black in the low light. His hair had been neatly cut short on the sides with bangs in the front that were brushed upwards in messy spikes. There he was again: patches of hair growing from his cheeks and his jaw creating a thin outline of a beard that was almost invisible in the darkness. Was lifted the right word? Or rather her chest opened? No, lifted was a better word, because she could feel it rising as he walked into the room. Monika's eyes fluttered open as she let out an eased breath, like a pressure from her chest had just been lifted.

Bring a silent weapon with you for times where you might want to be discreet, but don't deprive yourself of using the sniper that fires explosive rounds or the shotgun that lights enemies on fire. Stealth is a very viable option, but don't rob yourself of the fun that comes from blowing everything up in sight and honking the horn as you race to run over the last enemy before your crocodile companion rips them apart himself. Far Cry 6 is at its best when things get chaotic, and if the game gifting you a freakin' rocket launcher backpack right near the start is not enough of an indication, much of its fun will come from getting into huge, loud firefights with enemies. Sure, disable cameras and take out a few enemies stealthily, but don't hesitate to engage with the opposite end of the spectrum. (Ubisoft's certainly not giving you any Splinter Cell games at this point to satisfy that urge.) And that is extremely effective-if you're looking to get through a base or mission as easily as possible, stealth is almost always your best option.īut my advice to you is to fight that impulse and go loud. In Far Cry 6, you can certainly do that, scouting bases with your camera and then picking off enemies one-by-one with melee attacks or quiet weapons, hiding bodies, disabling alarms and cameras, and generally doing your best Sam Fisher impression. ![]() Every time I play a game like Far Cry, where you can choose to dive into the action or remain stealthy, I invariably choose the latter path. Now Playing: Far Cry 6 - 7 Things You Should Know Before Playingįirst up is less a tip, and more a suggestion to have as much fun as possible. It’s implied in Far Cry 5 that Rachel Jessop is not the first Faith Seed, and Faith is a sort of moniker for a certain role within Joseph’s “Flock.” But the revelation that he has groomed, at the very least, two women after his deceased wife is incredibly disturbing.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's It’s a painful experience that feels odd in contrast to other secret endings in Far Cry 6, but the big realization comes with the name of his wife: Faith. The secret ending references Joseph’s final call to his wife before realizing he’s lost her and his child. He did not hear the “Voice” before this, but it’s said in passing really and players can be easily be forgiven if they forget Joseph was ever married. Not only is this trope problematic enough, but it’s more amplified in FC6’s DLC than in FC5 even (just a brief mention and a comic reference). In Far Cry 5, Joseph Seed mentions he lost his wife and child to an accident-“God Taketh.” Much like the loss of his daughter impacted Pagan Min’s descent, so too is it implied this is the beginning of Joseph Seed's. ![]() And somehow, instead of focusing on larger worldbuilding as Vaas and Pagan Min’s DLC did, Joseph Seed’s secret ending make this whole situation somehow worse. It's enough to really showcase the abusive and manipulative relationship between Joseph and Faith it was too much more often than not, as players through Joseph’s eyes are forced to witness these acts. Noting his deceased wife, she slaps him and Joseph, in anger, raises his hand against her-if not following through. This causes her mental stability to dwindle to the point that she renounces him, hates him, and isn’t who he claims her to be. But that’s not what happens instead, Faith runs out of Bliss and begins suffering from withdrawals of the drugs (that Seed makes her use). Joseph envisions some peaceful, blessed ending for his family and perhaps an odd sexualization of his would-be sister, for her role in the larger scheme. At one point, Joseph receives a vision of what would have happened if his siblings survived the Collapse. |
