The way I see it, trap should be considered just like any other genre. I often feel like this generalization is similar to the people that say metal music is bad in general because its just senseless screaming without talent for singing. Trap in general should not be considered bad thing and it just comes from the notion that electronic music is overall inferior to normal instrumentation because it takes little to no effort ( (very untrue, boyinaband does a really good analysis of the matter:) ). Personal biased feelios coming from someone who loved everything about Mic Drop Remix TLDR: Perhaps MIC DROP is getting mixed reception because we've all grown too used to the original one. It took me about 5 listens to come to this conclusion, but I am loving this track. Yoongie just seems more in his element with this version and I am here for every moment of it. And now that I mention it, I think the remix does A LOT for Yoongie. I still think Hobi slays the song more in the beginning because he just sounds in his element. Just added some questionable lyrics (like wtf? Applesauce?). And to be quite honest, he really didn't add much to the song. His rap part in the beginning is okay, not terrible, but I can manage. However, if I do have one small critique, then it would be Desiigner. I love both equally because they both possess a unique sound which is hard to choose from. I always turn the base slightly up when listening to music.īut I digress, I still love the track. Steve Aoki really added more of a trap sound with a hella (did you see what I did there?) high bass, which I personally love when it comes to songs. I appreciate both sounds for what they are and have no preference to be quite honest. It is a remix of a song so we have to remember that it does not necessarily have to add to the original. If you are not a fan of trap or hard hitting bass music, then you probably will not like this song, even if you love BTS. This song all comes down to the listener's preference. A simple 'THE REMIX WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL! THE ORIGINAL WAS HYPE!' or 'THIS REMIX IS LIT! I'VE BEEN SLAYN!' won't do. If there's something you didn't like about the remix, or if you disagree with a certain criticism, please try to be specific. These points were brought up to discuss the MV version remix, however, you're free to add thoughts about the Desiigner feature version to your reply as well. Taking into consideration the above criticism and any other critique you may have found, what strengths do you think the remix possessed or where do you think the remix did well? Taking into consideration that two U.S.based artists contributed to the track (and thus will arguably make the track more Americanized by nature), do you agree with the notion that the remix was solely made as a 'muggle bait'? Do you agree?ĭo you think the EDM influences added as a result of Steve Aoki's contributions weren't a smart choice for MIC Drop? Do you agree with the notion that EDM stripped MIC Drop of the positive qualities it originally brought to the table?Ī commonly observed notion is that the remix was made to cater to the general U.S.audience, and thus it cannot be expected to be embraced by normal army, as well as lacked the quality bts usually delivers. The Steve Aoki remix didn't add more to the original. Taking in mind the places bts spent time in when in the U.S.(condition included to consider slangs or natural patterns of speech) do you agree with the brought up criticism? Do you have more criticism to add? Issues pointed out include being cringe, unnatural slang, childish lyrics, lack of oomph and effect in the original. The English verses found a polarizing reception. Regardless I have a few points here that I want people to ponder about and would like your thoughts on.Īpparently there's a notion that trap = bad and the genre of beat in the remix was too Americanized, and thus, worse. The original thread was full of either uncontained hype or sad disappointment that I dont think reached people well so I think it was harder for people to find each other's opinions and properly discuss.

That’s impressive considering what you get but I can’t pretend that you can also buy an LG C1 48-inch which is also an extremely capable gaming monitor and a TV too. But a bit of context.ĭell wants you to fork out $2,299.00 here in Australia for the pleasure of riding this rainbow but with Dells frequent discounts, you can get for as $1600.

We all know OLED’s offer the best picture quality thanks to their self-lit pixels, perfect blacks that give infinite contrast, excellent color accuracy and near instant response time.īut OLED’s aren’t the brightest panels in the world so when some mad genius at Samsung Displays thought it would be a good idea to marry an OLED panel to a Quantum Dot film, they gave birth to the next generation of exceptional display tech. When Alienware first announced that it was going to use a Quantum Dot Organic Light Emiting Diode aka QD-OLED panel in its next generation of ultrawide gaming monitors, I was more than a little excited but cautious. It’s also, in my humble opinion, the best damn gaming monitor in the world. The new Alienware AW3423DW 34-inch QD-OLED Curved Gaming monitor is undoubtedly a Unicorn product that will forever change the PC gaming monitor landscape. Every now and then, a Unicorn product appears that forever changes the product category it belongs to Google search, the iPhone, TikTok, and Netflix are just a few.

It’s all part and parcel with Menzie’s new collection of songs, the appropriately titled Lost in Dreams.

With the lot of us poised on the edge of depression and a depression, if you’re not including yourself in that demographic you should either be taking another look at the news, or preparing to be eaten by the proletariat. Which is about as wide a swath as you can cut right now. It’s a reminder that we can’t control the world around us, or the actions of others and we need to have faith in ourselves and roll with the punches.” “I wrote it for those who are feeling confused or unsure about who they are or where they’re going. “Have Faith is a song about self-reflection and love,” says Menzie. One way or another (it’s probably going to be the murder hornets) 2020 is the year we’re all going to learn patience and, more importantly, self-reliance. The song’s release is either apropos or conspicuously timely, given that no one even batted an eye at the American government acknowledging the presence of UFOs. Menzie’s “Have Faith” isn’t a nod to George Michael (it’d be too much to handle with all this social distancing), but a bolstering shot in the arm that says we can all handle this if we just Tinkerbell our way out of it. “Have Faith,” the second single to be released from his Lost in Dreams album isn’t necessarily religious, but a reminder to believe yourself, the fact that you have survived thus far, and along with your accumulated skills (and a little luck), may continue to so. Dylan Menzie’s latest single might be the Jesus-take-the-wheel moment we’re all due for. You’ll also need at least a 16GB flash drive so Boot Camp can create a bootable drive to install Windows 10.īefore we go any further, you should back up your Mac. Your Mac needs at least 2GB of RAM (4GB of RAM would be better) and at least 30GB of free hard drive space to properly run Boot Camp. The first thing you should do is check the system requirements to make sure your Mac can actually run Windows 10. Right now, the easiest, cheapest, and fastest way to get Windows 10 on your Mac is Boot Camp, and that’s what we’re using for this tutorial. It’s also completely free (apart from the Windows 10 license), and a shared Dropbox / Google Drive / OneDrive folder can make data transfers a bit easier. But it does give Windows full access to the processing power of your Mac. Virtual machines like Parallels and VMware cost upwards of $70 on top of what you already have to pay for Windows 10, and while you can run OS X and Windows simultaneously, the drain on your processing power can force both operating systems to run less than optimally.īoot Camp is the easiest way to get Windows 10 on your Macīoot Camp doesn’t allow you to easily transfer content between OS X and Windows partitions like virtual machines do, and you can’t run the two operating systems simultaneously. You can use a virtualization program, which runs Windows 10 like an app right on top of OS X, or you can use Apple’s built-in Boot Camp program to partition your hard drive to dual-boot Windows 10 right next to OS X. There are two easy ways to install Windows on a Mac. Thanks to Apple creating some helpful tools and some solid third-party options, it’s rather easy to get Windows 10 up and running right alongside OS X. Like most people using MacBooks, I have no interest in getting rid of my laptop, but thankfully I don’t have to buy any new hardware to use Windows 10. But after seeing how Microsoft has stepped it up with Windows 10 (the Start menu is finally back and Internet Explorer is nearly gone), I’m now interested in giving it a try once again. It then worked, and so far no more BSOD on my machine.Windows 8 was bad enough that it forced me - a lifelong Windows user up until that point - to switch my entire family over to Macs.
”Īre you sad to hear that the Volvo V40 will be morphing into a compact crossover? Let us know your thoughts below. We’ve no plans in the near future to extend our portfolio, other than through electrification. So I can tell you right now that we have no plans to do so. A spokesperson for Volvo Australia told The Driven that cars will arrive in September, and that drivers will start seeing the first customers’ C40s on the road in October. If you talk about small cars it’d be a different type of car – fully electric, probably. The first new Volvo C40 electric crossovers will start to arrive towards the end of the first quarter, as the Swedish carmaker prepares to launch its second all-electric vehicle by the start of the fourth quarter. We have increased our coverage of the market from a product line-up perspective and that’s okay. “That means, indirectly, that we are not in the rat race of filling every niche. Then we go into more depth – keeping our powertrains up, keeping the infotainment up to spec, and so forth. He said: “Of course we’ve looked at, but we’ve clearly decided that there’s probably room for another body style alongside the XC40 in the next two to three years, and that’s what we’re exploring. Kerssemakers has also ruled out the notion that Volvo will build a smaller model to sit below its current entry-level 40 range, insisting that the company can achieve its goal of rising from around 650,000 to 800,000 global sales without additional models. Volvo XC90 is offered in 2 variants - the base model of XC90 is B6 Inscription. no manual transmission is offered and with launch control engaged. The final car will likely feature elements of the XC40’s design – sharing a similar radiator grille and near identical headlamp units – but it’ll have a lower roofline, slightly lower suspension and a more rakish rear end. From electric crossovers to hatchbacks, these are the new models set for debut in. Our exclusive images provide a good indication of how the production-ready Volvo V40 could look. – Agar sets at room temperature, but since this dessert uses such small quantities of the stuff, you will need to refrigerate it overnight or for at least 5-6 hours. If you see agar sitting at the bottom, boil it for a minute more, stirring constantly. – When you see the cooled liquid, you should see it clear, without any pooled agar settlements at the bottom. – Let cool completely, before pouring it into molds. – Dissolve the agar agar in the water, and bring it to a rolling boil for a good 1 minute. The clearer the water, the more transparent the end result is. – Use filtered water, or even better, bottled spring/mineral water. Here are a few things to remember while making yourself this water cake: When I tried using filtered water, it resulted in a slightly cloudy product with no detriment in taste. Living in the city, getting our hands on clean, natural spring water is a little hard, but try using bottled mineral/spring water instead. No wonder it is so popular everywhere! Rarity and unattainability truly adds to the allure of an object. In theory, the water is solidified using agar agar, set in a spherical mold and as easy as it sounds, it took me no less than 7 tries to get it right despite following recipes to the letter! All this ads up to a long line of customers outside the two stores that do sell it, every singe day! Yes, you can make it yourselfįor those of us who cannot travel all the way to the land of the rising sun to savour this water cake, or afford the exorbitant $8 charged for it in New York, the only remaining course of action is to make it ourselves. Mizu in Japanese means ‘water’, Mochi is a kind of dessert made with glutinous rice flour and Shingen Mochi is a trademarked dessert made by the Kinseiken Seika Company.īecause of the delicate temperament of this particular dessert, it is sold in very few of their stores, cannot be reserved in advance nor taken away from the store. The water sourced from the mountains is so tasty that it needs no other flavouring. It is made from fresh water taken from the Japanese Alps. The Kinseiken Seika Company are the proud creators of this simple yet magnificent dessert. If it’s not eaten in 30 minutes, you don’t get to eat it at all! The origins of the Water Cake Isn’t it fascinating, that it comes with it’s own self-destruct mechanism. Or even better, join a local guide program to share your favorite stores.We’ve all seen the Buzzfeed videos of a magnificent water cake that’s wildly popular in Japan. It looks like a water drop that can be held in your hands, bitten into, but dissolves into water within just 30 minutes of being served. Torn between two businesses?

Not only does it have a lot of features, but it is also a lightweight program that won’t take up too much space on your computer or use up too much of your CPU at once.Īs mentioned, Reaper is non-destructive. Not many other DAWs can measure up to Reaper’s stability. Reaper is so stable, in fact, that you can run and edit an unlimited number of tracks and work on complex projects. Not only that, but Audacity tends to have more bugs, lags, and crashes than Reaper, which is generally more stable. It is a lot more advanced than Audacity, which is not astounding considering that Audacity is a free and open source software while Reaper is a paid program, meaning it can afford to add more features. In fact, many people consider Reaper to be one of the best, if not the best, DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) on the market for the price, simply because it has so many features and options. Reaper is not a simple alternative to Audacity, but it is a non-destructive alternative, and it is generally considered to be a superior product to Audacity. The first Audacity alternative we will focus on in this article is Reaper. Wrapping It Up: What Is The Best Audacity Alternative? The 11 Best Audacity Alternatives 1. In this article, I will go over some of the best Audacity alternatives on the market, including more advanced and non-destructive alternatives. In fact, although Audacity is, by the strict definition, a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), it lacks many features that more advanced DAWs have, making it a good option for producing something simple like a podcast but not as great for more complex music production. Audacity is decent, but for large, professional projects, you will need a more innovative alternative. Also, there are no mobile apps for editing on Android, iOS, and Windows mobile devices.Īs such, there is an obvious need for alternatives that do provide mobile apps for iPads, iPhones, and other phones and tablets.įinally, while Audacity might be good for less complex projects, if you are a professional, you might need something more advanced. The original Audacity software may struggle to respond to touchscreen inputs. While you can use Audacity on most devices, it was not originally designed for touchscreen devices instead, it was designed to respond to mouse input. Therefore, there is a need for a non-destructive Audacity alternative as well. However, non-destructive editing, by definition, irreversibly alters the file once you save it, meaning the effects become an integral part of the file that can no longer be removed. Of course, as long as you haven’t saved the new file, you will be able to undo changes, as changes are made to a copy of the file you are working on. You can not remove the effects later or restore the deleted part of the track. Since Audacity is a destructive editor, when you add effects to your music or audio, or if you delete a part of the track and then save your progress, your edits are permanent. There are two types of editing: destructive and non-destructive. Audacity is just not everyone’s cup of tea.Īnother problem with Audacity is that it is a destructive editor. That’s why there is a need for a simpler, more straightforward Audacity alternative for recording and editing audio for those with simple needs. While it isn’t overwhelmingly difficult for most people, you may find the interface a bit confusing or not very intuitive. There are a number of downsides to using Audacity.įirst, the interface could use some improvement. While Audacity is a great tool with a lot of fans, it isn’t perfect. It is one of the most popular software downloads out there, and since it was first released in 1999, it has improved and added new features. Audacity is a free, open source audio recording and editing software for podcast, music, lecture, and other audio creations. This is where we get to the Head Versus Heart of it all. They are two divergent paths, and most customers will know which one they should traverse. On the other hand, if you need more power and more ports, the MacBook Pro is there, ready to meet your needs. If you need something lightweight and thin, the MacBook Air is an excellent choice. This has made the decision between the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro easier in a bunch of ways, especially if you are like me and pretend the Touch Bar-laden 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 isn’t a thing. The design is cut from the same smooth aluminum cloth, and side-by-side, it’s clear that the M2 Air and 2021 MacBook Pros were indeed designed together. The M2 Air, in many ways, is the opposite side of that coin. Finally, after five years, Apple was letting the MacBook Pro be a pro notebook again. Many people fell in love with it, including me. The Pro got thicker, heavier and a lot more capable. That decision got reversed last year when the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros were introduced. With that design, Apple blurred the lines between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in a way it hadn’t done before. 3īack when Apple introduced the USB-C-and-nothing-else MacBook Pros in the fall of 2016, I had my first Something isn’t right here thought when I saw this slide:Īpple was thrilled that the then-new 13-inch MacBook Pro was thinner than the pre-Retina MacBook Air, had 13% less overall volume and weighed the same three pounds. The 14-inch MacBook Pro is a more interesting comparison, and not just because it has been my notebook for the last nine months. The M1 Air is a great machine, and while it’s a shame the M2 couldn’t hit the magical price of $999, at least Apple has a good option for those on a budget. If you’re on a budget, you should probably buy the M1 MacBook Air, especially given the fact that the base-level M2 MacBook Air comes with kinda-lame SSD speeds. For the M2 MacBook Air, that context is the M1 MacBook Air that is still for sale and the 14-inch MacBook Pro. When looking at any product, one has to consider the context of that product. In a vacuum, the M2 MacBook Air is one of the best Macs Apple has ever made. The wedge shape may be gone, but everything that made the MacBook Air good back in the day is still here today: performance that will meet the needs of almost everyone, impressive battery life and a portable design that makes it easy to take the notebook anywhere. There’s a pretty clear line between Apple rebooting the MacBook Air in 2018 to the machine we have today.Īnd what a machine it is. 2 It was a stunning fall from grace, but the machine was able to make a rebound. Even when Apple tried getting away from it, customers refused to let them. There’s no doubt that the MacBook Air is the most important computer Apple makes. It comes in a few colors, but not the ones we all wanted. The M2 probably does thermal throttle, but you won’t ever notice it. 1 The new design fits with the MacBook Pros Apple introduced last year. I’m not sure it is what Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla had in mind when they wrote the song, but this sums up how I feel about the new M2 MacBook Air.Īt this point, you know just about everything there is to know about this computer. One of the singles is the 8th track on the record, named “Crooked Teeth.” Here are the lyrics from the bridge: I don’t listen to it often, but when I do, it’s an experience. To this day, it may be my favorite album of all time. Their album Plans came out in August 2005, at the start of my sophomore year of college. As a somewhat-emo 17 year old, I was hooked. “I think you’re going to like these guys,” he said, turning up the volume. My buddy Levi drove a first-generation Miata, and one night as we drove around the suburb outside of Memphis that we called home, he popped in a burned CD labeled “DCFC.” Like most music that has stuck with me, I first came across the band’s work in high school. That is very generous and it gives people enough time to save until they can afford to buy it. It puts Clip Studio Paint’s 30 day trial to shame. I dare you to mention another art program that has a 120 day trial period.It’s super useful and makes drawing digitally a snap. The Hand tool is a godsend! I’m so serious.The touch features work for my Wacom Bamboo Create, unlike when I was using Paint Tool SAI.It does lack some features but it has good photo editing capabilities that almost makes having Photoshop redundant.Especially useful if you’re an artist who makes speed-paints/draw videos. With the Event feature, you can recreate how your drawing came to be from start to finish.It may not be in the same league as Clip Studio Paint, but it definitely stacks up well against the competition. It’s a seperate window which can load up any image you like so you don’t have to minimise the program all the time, or have it side-by-side to see it. Reference window is something I didn’t even know I needed until now.Since the program is similar to Paint Tool SAI, it makes learning to use it less painless than something with a completely unfamilair UI. Simple UI that’s quite easy to understand.I recommend checking my guide to setting up your own personal workspace if needed. It’s pretty customizable too, allowing you to re-arrange the windows however you like. Black theme is easy on the eyes, especially in the dark if you’re a night owl artist.It loads very fast compared to the likes of Photoshop which takes forever. I will be reviewing the Steam version of OpenCanvas 7.I’ll be making comparisons to Clip Studio Paint, Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop.I’m going to try to be as informative as possible, so if you want to make a purchasing decision for OpenCanvas 7, I’m your girl. …it does come with significant downsides which I will discuss further in my points below. As a webcomic artist and illustrator, it’s perfect for me. |
