While there are dedicated tracks for dealing with audio, there are also multiple sample-based instruments that seem to support every format imaginable including wav, aiff, mp3, and FLAC as well as Soundfonts (.SF2) and Giga (.gig) formats, for which there is plenty of free content available online. So whatever type of electronic sound you are searching for, LMMS has you covered. If that is not your bag of beans, there is also a selection of synthesizers offering various synthesis types: I particularly liked Roland’s TB-303 – the classic bassline machine, perfect for producing retro subby basslines or squelchy acid leads.Ĭontinuing the retro theme, the software also features instruments based on the Commodore 64 and Nintendo’s NES and GameBoy, perfect for creating Chiptune inspired music. LMMS comes with a host of useful instruments that emulate classic sounds from the electronic music canon. Once installed you can dive straight in to start producing tracks. LMMS also comes with an array of audio samples, built-in virtual instruments, and effect units. While the recording of MIDI into LMMS is possible, it is not possible to record audio which might be a deal-breaker for some, though for some bedroom producers this will not be an issue. It’s also customizable, giving you access to all the common functionality expected from a DAW: When activated, it causes a pop-up window to appear when clicking on items in the interface, giving a short summary of their functionality.Īfter about 15 minutes of playing around with it, the interface was quite simple and intuitive to use. One thing I liked is that the software does have a useful “What’s this?” function. ![]() But after scrolling around for a bit and a quick browse of the manual, everything became clearer. Originally made for Linux, the software is also available for Windows and macOS operating systems – all free of charge.īut does it live up to the hype of being one of the best free DAWs out there?Īt first, LMMS can appear a bit daunting – it loads with numerous floating windows that can seem overwhelming. While not new, LMMS one of the more popular free DAWs currently available. With such a huge selection of free and paid digital audio workstations (DAWs) to choose from, it’s tough to pick the right one for your needs. ![]()

![]() Low tracking accuracy of controllers in the space compared to HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, which makes shooters even more difficult to play requiring pinpoint accuracy. It can lose the headset even closer if you cover the sensors by hand. PlayStation Camera at a distance of more than three meters does not see the headset. This not only spoils the effect of 3D reality, but also limits the set of functions of games and causes nausea. PS VR only tracks head turns without the headset's location in space. The difference between reality and virtuality is clearly noticeable even to a non-advanced user. The picture sometimes breaks up into pixels, twitches and sometimes it looks like a cartoon image, which prevents the full immersion. It is one and a half times cheaper than the nearest equivalent.Ĭons of PlayStation VR Low screen resolution. A fully working kit with the camera and controllers costs about 350 USD, with the console - 600 USD-700 USD. It's easy to do, compared to its competitors. ![]() PS VR was devised for mass-market audience, so you just need to connect the PlayStation 4 wires, the TV set, the processor unit and the headset itself for installation. And if there are too many pixels in games, then the films are like in the best cinema. Cinematic mode allows you to play and watch movies in 2D, but on the headset screen. It is comfortable for eyesight to play in glasses if they are not bulky. 610 grams of weight do not make the device too heavy because they are equally distributed, especially if you sit while playing. The gadget really looks cool and fantastic - like something from the films Tron or Ready Player One. The processor unit recognizes images with an high dynamic range which makes the picture more contrast and brighter. If before the headset had to be connected to the console on the same adapter wire, now the headphones are connected directly to the headset. For example, the headset is now connected to the processor unit directly and not through an adapter wire. There are fewer cables and they are thinner.There are not many differences, but they are significant: But all the original PS VRs that are sold now are the CUH-ZVR2 models. In fact, it is not considered to be the second generation because the official gadget PlayStation VR 2 is waited to be released in the autumn 2018. Exactly a year later the developers presented the next version - CUH-ZVR2. In October 2016, only the first generation came out - the CUH-ZVR1 model. ![]() ![]() The birds also make a rapid series of cuk-cuk-cuk sounds in flight and when landing. However, louder drumming doesn’t conclusively identify a Pileated Woodpecker: A tiny Downy Woodpecker’s drumming can be deceptively loud if it’s hammering away on a hollowed-out limb.Ĩ.) There’s no mistaking a Pileated Woodpecker’s call-their loud, escalating shrieks bring to mind a maniacal laugh and can be heard from a distance. This behavior helps them defend territories and attract mates as a part of courtship displays. They can drum close to 17 beats per second and will perform 10 to 30 beats before they take a break. Both males and females sport this distinctive red crest, but the male’s extends further toward the bill.ħ.) Pileated Woodpeckers drum slowly, accelerating and then trailing off at the end, distinguishing them from most other woodpeckers that drum at a steady rate. Consider leaving large, dead trees up to give Pileated Woodpeckers-and maybe even their successors-a chance to breed in your backyard.Ħ.) The species earns its common and species name, pileatus, from the flashy red crest that covers the pileum, or top of the bird’s head. Cavity-nesting ducks that can’t excavate their own holes, such as Wood Ducks, rely on these abandoned Pileated Woodpecker cavities to breed. The strong bill of the Pileated Woodpecker chisels a hole in dead (and, occasionally, live) wood to create a home to raise young. A dead limb on a living tree or a utility pole will also suffice-a creative use to survive in urban environments.ĥ.) They rarely nest in the same tree hollow twice. Pileateds prefer deciduous and coniferous forests with larger, old growth trees that can support their spacious cavities. They are the bird’s home, nursery, and cafeteria. A sure sign that the resilient woodpecker is continuing to adapt: A pair recently nested in a 74-acre state forest on Staten Island in New York City.Ĥ.) Pileated Woodpeckers nest almost exclusively in snags, or standing dead trees. Their numbers have increased steadily since the 1960s, to an estimated 2.6 million birds today.ģ.) Pileated pairs historically may have required an area as large as 300 to 900 acres to support nestlings, especially in the West, but some pairs now raise young on fewer than 150 acres. The population only started to recover in the 1920s with state and federal protection, combined with forest regrowth and the woodpecker’s ability to exploit suburban and urban areas. The Pileated is the largest living woodpecker in North America-nearly three times taller than the petite Downy Woodpecker.Ģ.) Pileated Woodpeckers experienced huge population declines in the eastern United States in the 18th and 19th centuries due to habitat loss caused by the clearing of forests for agriculture and timber harvesting. Glimpsing one of these birds in the wild will leave anyone in awe, but here are some fun facts that will make you further appreciate this charismatic species.ġ.) Excluding the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, which is largely believed to be extinct, 22 woodpecker species call North America home. The impressive bird is best known for its distinctive and prominent red crest, which contrasts sharply with its white-and-black face striping, black body, and black wings with white patches. Large and easy to observe without binoculars, the Pileated is native to Canada, the Pacific Northwest, and the eastern half of the United States. ![]() The Pileated Woodpecker is a fabulous gateway species into birding-especially for young kids. ![]() ![]() ![]() “That just means I have to amp up my content, keep things fresh, post frequently and stay focused,” Eliza says. With so many new social media influencers coming onto the scene, it has made the online space feel smaller. Eliza Rose has felt the strains of COVID-19 in several ways. When the 2020 pandemic hit, the word of social media changed, just as every industry did during mass shutdowns, layoffs, and illness outbreaks. Eliza takes into consideration what her endorsements mean to her followers. Many other influencers sell themselves short by taking anything that comes their way, particularly when starting out in the industry. When she has been asked to endorse a product or service she is unfamiliar with or dislikes the answer is no. “At the end of the day, I am my brand,” she says of declining offers that were not a good fit. She jokingly refers to herself as a “fitness glamour hybrid.” Rather than compete with other influencers, Eliza plans to create services that will help newbies to navigate the waters of budding entrepreneurship on social media.Įliza Rose Watson prides herself on integrity, both personally and professionally. Eliza Rose positioned herself between two popular genres on social media-fitness and sensual modeling something few people have successfully done. “I have carved out a pretty specific niche for myself, but either way, I look at other women on social media as allies, not competitors,” she says of online rivalry or competition. She maintains the strict practice of only measuring herself against her past achievements, thereby nipping competition envy in the bud. Though social media can be fiercely competitive, one of Eliza’s keys to success is turning her focus inward. With prior knowledge of digital marketing, Eliza knew that online-based work offered a freedom level that she would never realize through any other modeling work. When her following exploded in record time, Eliza Rose understood the potential to upscale her business in ways that professional photoshoots were not doing independently. After deciding to create an online portfolio for her modeling pictures on Instagram, she realized an untapped potential to expand her income streams. You may have seen her in magazines such as LiftTheBar, HERs, Muscle and Fitness, and Flex, though she has been featured in many more publications throughout the UK. It seems that everything Eliza Rose touches turns to gold, but only through hard work and dedication.Įliza Rose started as a nude live-art model and as a fitness model before dipping her toes in the waters of Instagram and OnlyFans. In a little more than a year, Eliza has grown her Instagram page to over 500,000 followers and is included in the top 0.08% of over 4 million worldwide social media influencers. All of that success was just the start for this up-and-comer. As smart as she is beautiful, Eliza possesses a degree in psychology, ten-years-experience as a paid fitness model, and a qualified nutritionist. Eliza Rose Watson is discovering a whole new level of success as she blows up Instagram, but she is the rare type who spreads the wealth wherever she can. ![]() ![]() ![]() You'll need to snap off the ends of the beans (which is a great activity for kids to help in the kitchen), so make sure you do this before blanching or sauteing.įat: Butter, olive oil, or bacon grease are all great options for sauteing green beans.

Forming on the surface of the shelf during warm summers, ponds of melt water can eventually carve through the ice shelf and lead to disintegration. Glaciologists studying the Larsen Ice Shelf have proposed a mechanism that causes these rapid breakups: melt ponds. In 2002, most of the Larsen B underwent a large, rapid, and dramatic disintegration. The Larsen A began retreating in the 1980s and the remainder disintegrated 1995. Scientists divided the Larsen Ice Shelf into three parts, from north to south: Larsen A, Larsen B, and Larsen C. Both phenomena have appeared in Antarctica’s Larsen Ice Shelf. A newer phenomenon is ice shelf disintegration, in which an ice shelf fragments into small pieces in a relatively short time period. Iceberg calving is a common process that glaciologists have observed as long as they have studied Antarctica. The warmer air and ocean temperatures not only melt the iceberg, they actually cause it to disintegrate, often rapidly. As an iceberg from Antarctica drifts northward, it gradually enters a warmer climate. The calved ice becomes an iceberg, and it can drift with ocean currents far away from its birthplace. Periodically, ice shelves break off big pieces of themselves. Fed by glaciers, these thick slabs of ice fringe the coastlines of Greenland and Antarctica, anchored to land, but floating in the ocean. Disintegration of an iceberg mimics what can happen to ice shelves under certain conditions. Learning in such detail how an iceberg breaks up would be interesting on its own, but glaciologists are intrigued by the process for another reason. Besides capturing AMIGOSberg’s northeastward drift, the images also show the breaking off- calving-of a new iceberg, A54, near the bottom of the image. ![]() Aqua took the picture on the left on February 7, and Terra took the image on the right on March 5. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying onboard the Aqua and Terra satellites captured these images of AMIGOSberg and its surroundings in early 2006. The iceberg, nicknamed AMIGOSberg, will take the equipment along on its journey northward into warmer waters, and the sensors will send the data they collect to the scientists via a satellite. The team boarded a helicopter, flew to the iceberg, and set up weather instruments, snow sensors, and a video camera on the iceberg’s surface. In March 2006, a team of researchers from the United States and Argentina visited an iceberg near the Antarctic Peninsula in order to gain a better understanding of how ice melts and disintegrates when it encounters warmer areas. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to the specificity of musical elements in this work, Crumb also recommends several theatrical components. Rather than literally incorporating the whale song recording that served as the raison d’être for this piece, Crumb requires the performers to mimic and approximate these sounds acoustically through carefully notated extended techniques and timbral effects. Vox Balaenae also exhibits Crumb’s reverberant acoustic through electronic amplification of the entire ensemble: flute, cello, and piano. This work was “inspired by the singing of the humpback whale, a recording of which the composer heard in 1969,” and provides commentary on both the lifespan of the earth and man’s relationship with nature. The use of electronic amplification in Crumb’s works serves to enhance these unconventional sounds while highlighting the evocative and often haunting nature of his music.Ī prime example of this aesthetic is Crumb’s Vox Balaenae (Voice of the Whale) for Three Masked Players (1971). A self-described post-modernist composer, Crumb cites the echoing, reverberant sounds of the West Virginia river valley as an inherited acoustic that is reflected in many of his works. 1929, Charleston, WV) often explores new sounds and timbres for conventional instruments in his works, an approach to composition previously explored by Henry Cowell (1897-1965) and John Cage (1912-1992). Timbre in particular has been realized by means of tuning systems, instrumentation, orchestration, extended techniques, and digital manipulation. Based on observations of these trends, the two parameters that seem to demand continual reevaluation and expansion are form and timbre, yet the application of these parameters has also shifted over time. The outliers have come to shape the retrospectively-crafted musicological narrative arc, a story that relies on experimentation, novelty, and change. Throughout the history of Western art music, large-scale developmental trends have continually been defined by the composers who broke the rules, so to speak. Curious to know what the movie's about?
