![]() ![]() I don't find it makes mixes come together more easily, nor does it particularly help to 'glue' them together once mixed. It sounds great on bass and electric guitars, and occasionally I'll put it over the mix bus, but to me, its usefulness lies in the effect it has on individual sources. Take Universal Audio's Studer A800 tape emulation, for example. I've tried quite a few, but to my ears, even the best of them are often closer to special effects than to something I'd want to use on every track in every mix. Tape and tube emulations, mix bus compressors, non‑specific analogue warmth generators. All too often, such plug‑ins simply compromise rather than complement the good qualities of a digital mix, such as clarity, separation and accurate representation of transients. And on the sonic side of things, I've rarely been convinced by plug‑ins designed to reproduce the mysterious 'glue' that many people claim is missing from digital mixing environments. The precision of drawing in automation with the mouse wins every time over the limited amounts of real‑time control that you get from eight cheap faders and a few knobs. On the ergonomic front, for instance, I've never enjoyed using small assignable fader surfaces. The latter has been expanded here to show the grouping controls.Īs a home‑studio owner who works digitally and 'in the box', I've always been a little bit sceptical about products that are supposed to make mixing on a computer more like mixing in the analogue domain. The Virtual Console Collection comprises two plug‑ins: Virtual Channel (left) and Virtual Mix Buss (right). I should also note that if you are having the slow loading plugins issue, because of the hardware inventory process, it could be another piece of USB or other hardware and if it is not the SD reader you should systematically remove/add other hardware to see if that is the issue.Can the failings of mixing in software really be solved by buying more software? That's the claim Slate Digital are making for their Virtual Console Collection. These were associated with two "Generic MassStorageClass USB Device" under "Disk drives" in Device Manager. One clue was I had two phantom disk drives (and drive letters) that never disappeared even though no USB drives/sticks were connected. I guess this is the first time I've had an SD card sitting in the reader while using Studio One. Weird thing is I've had this SD carder for over a year and never had a problem. Unplugging the SD card reader fixed everything. Also disk manager took forever to load getting stuck at "connecting to virtual disk service". Windows Explorer was very slow and my computer in general seemed to get stuck every once in a while. Other symptoms of this issue were my computer was taking an extra long time to start/restart. This is not an issue with the DAW so this issue/solution is not unique to Studio One and should work on other DAWs. This SD card reader issue was causing that hardware inventory process to fail. Every time you use the plugin they take a hardware inventory to makes sure the license is on the right computer. Simplified explanation: Waves and other plugin manufactures use your hardware configuration to build a unique key for your computer to keep track of the license. Long story short is was my SD card reader! I had inserted an SD card (which I don't use very often) and it was causing this issue: After two days I've finally figured this out. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all my plugins and the DAW and different versions of the DAW. Waves plugins seemed to be the worst but Plugin Alliance was also slow. Loading projects that normally took seconds to load started taking 20+ minutes always getting stuck at loading the plugins. Everything was working great and then one day it all stops. Mainly use Waves, SoundToys, Plugin Alliance, and Fab Filter EQ. I run Studio One 5.x with 100+ plugins on Windows 10. ![]() Adding this reply to several threads because lots of people seem to have different forms of this issue and I want to spread the word on what worked for me.

![]() It is based on the Motorola MicroTAC cellphone of the late 1980s/early 1990s, specifically the Digital Personal Communicator model. The phone's design is that of an early flip-phone, with a small LCD display for numbers. If the player has not visited a girlfriend for a long time, they can sometimes receive calls from any of the six of the girlfriends telling the player to come and date them. The HUD icon exists in game files, but it won’t show in normal gameplay. Again, these may be about missions, relating to the general story, tips from other characters, or may serve no particular purpose - for example, the prank calls CJ receives from Catalina. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Carl Johnson has a phone which he uses to make and receive calls. The phone's design is based on Motorola DynaTAC, a hugely successful cellphone during the 1980s.

![]() Unfortunately, for all that I enjoyed about Undying, there were issues that occasionally dragged it down. It was really satisfying to come out of that encounter unscathed and more so, I believe, because I couldn’t just blast my way through it. By the time they were in striking range, my mana was depleted but my pistol was ready, allowing me to finish off the final few before they clawed me. The bullets in my pistol weren’t going to be enough to take them all down so I unloaded them into one of the baddies and started falling back, picking off a few more with my spells while I reloaded. In Undying however, I had to think things through a bit more. Fighting Trigens in Far Cry I could have just gunned them down neat and tidy with an assault rifle. There was one occasion, for instance, where I started down a corridor only to have a pack of monsters come charging around a corner. It also does a really nice job of coupling your standard weapons with spells in interesting and strategic ways. The controls are smooth, your enemies are diverse and it transports you to some pretty varied environments. Looking back on my time with it, there just isn’t much I can complain about. In fact, even if you weren’t interested in Undying‘s horror themes, I’d still very much recommend it on the merits of it being a really solid shooter. Which, of course, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I still had fun after those feelings dwindled away, but it was the more typical sort of joy that a lot of shooters deliver. In turn, the best parts for me were the earliest hours where you have only your pistol, a few paltry spells and not nearly enough bullets. As Undying progresses you just gain too many assets to maintain that feeling of walking into a room and being unsure of whether or not you’ll make it out alive. The thing is, horror in video games very much hinges on feeling less than capable. Don’t get me wrong, the story is always interesting and it sustains a general creepiness that is to be admired. Sadly, this feeling of suspense becomes some less prevalent the further you advance in the game. Put shortly, there are times where you’ll find yourself feeling very much akin to a lone mouse in a house of hungry cats alone, outnumbered and feeling entirely inadequate. ![]() I’d be walking through the mansion and hear the distant scream of a butchered housekeeper or heading down a hall only to have all the lights die out and the music pick just in time for a pack of monsters to drop in and maul me. Even with the age of visuals working against it, there were moments in Undying that left me downright chilled. It also has a very firm grasp on its atmosphere. Undying has tons of this stuff and it all helps to flesh out the characters and plot in ways that make the whole experience deeper, more meaningful and, occasionally, even a bit creepier. I’ve beaten Resident Evil 2 at least a dozen times and each time I collected all the ancillary documents simply because I loved reading all the bits of back-story the game contained. Granted, I’m a bit of a sucker for that kind of content. The journal entries in particular were something I really loved. Told via cutscenes and collectible journal entries, it’s generally really well handled and was one of the driving forces that kept me pushing forward even when some of its more tedious elements were pushing back. Taking place in the early 1920s and written in cooperation with horror writer Clive Barker, it follows Patrick Galloway, a paranormal investigator who returns to his native Ireland to help an old friend uncover the truth behind a mysterious curse plaguing his family. The story, for instance, is easily one of the best that I’ve seen in an older shooter. And honestly it should be a big regret because Undying is a great game with a lot of exemplary qualities. But you still don’t and deep down you harbor the smallest regret for the game you never found time to play. Heck, maybe you even think about playing it. Maybe you remember it every now and then. You get caught up playing other games and it slides to the periphery of your memory. A friend (or an uncle in my case) recommends it to you and you swear that you’ll try it sometime but you don’t. I’ve adjusted the review to be more accurate and I apologize for any confusion this goof-up caused anyone.Ĭlive Barker’s Undying is one of those games. My mistake was looking through the key bindings and not realized that “Weapon Action” and “Reload” were the same thing. Updated: In the original article I claimed that you couldn’t reload your weapons “on the fly.” A helpful forum poster (thanks SupahGamuh!) corrected me. Written in cooperation with author Clive Barker it drops the player into a dark mystery where they’ll need to use brains, magic and bullets to solve the mysteries surrounding a family curse.

"S.O.S." borrowed key elements from Soft Cell's 1981 top 10 pop hit "Tainted Love" to put together a banging club hit. It reached #1 on the pop singles chart but not until "What's My Name?" had been there first. Shaking off the cool, detached mood of the Rated R project, Rihanna returned with a towering dance pop anthem as the first single from her Loud album. Rihanna performed "Disturbia" to open the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. It went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks at the end of summer 2008. The song is creepy, disturbing, and an impressive dance song. He decided it was more appropriate for a female singer and passed it on to Rihanna. It was written by Chris Brown and his team of writers for him to record. "Disturbia" was the third single from Rihanna's re-release of her album Good Girl Gone Bad. This dance floor smash became the biggest chart hit of Rihanna's career and served as the lead single for the Talk That Talk album. Rihanna headed into the studio with one of the world's top dance music producers, Scotland's Calvin Harris, and the result was magic. "We Found Love" featuring Calvin Harris (2011) It was a #1 hit around the world and made many critics' lists as one of the top 10 songs of the year.Ģ. The song eventually made its way to Rihanna and became the first single from her Good Girl Gone Bad album. However, her label, Jive, rejected it saying they had enough songs for her upcoming album already. The song was written with Britney Spears in mind with hopes of being a comeback hit for her. ![]() Rihanna's #1 smash hit "Umbrella" is a defining song of the decade. Her singing style and fashion and hairstyle sense have set trends for others to follow. Sales have grown with each successive release of albums.

The first soundtrack for the TV series was Madeline's Favorite Songs, released in 1995. The record typically consists of a mixture of stories and songs. Madeline audiobooks have been appearing since the early 1970s as vinyl records. Arguably, this rendition gave the characters their iconic designs. It features songs written by Andy Street and Judy Rothman. Between 20, DIC produced 26 episodes for Disney Channel. Between 19, Cinar and France animation produced animated adaptations of the other five original books for The Family Channel, In 1993, DIC produced a Madeline television series of twenty episodes, which also aired on the Family Channel, and in 1995, an additional 13 episodes were produced by DIC for ABC, under the title The New Adventures of Madeline. In 1988, DIC Enterprises adapted the first book into an animated television special for HBO. In 1960, the Madeline stories were adapted to a one-hour color episode for the NBC series The Shirley Temple Show. The latter two were featured, along with other similar adaptations of children's books, in Snyder and Gene Deitch's 1966 theatrical feature Alice of Wonderland in Paris. Snyder's Rembrandt Films produced animated adaptations of Madeline's Rescue, Madeline and the Bad Hat, and Madeline and the Gypsies for the educational film market. It was nominated for the 1952 Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons), but lost to Tom and Jerry's 75th cartoon Johann Mouse. The earliest appearance in the cinema was in the 1952 animated short Madeline, produced by United Productions of America (UPA) and directed by Bob Cannon.

In the first book, Madeline gets sick, is taken to the hospital and has her appendix removed to the envy of all the other girls. The images seem classical and show scenery and landmarks of the location where the story takes place such as the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River. She is the bravest and most outgoing of the girls. ![]() Madeline is the smallest of the girls, only seven years old and the only girl with red hair. The books focus on 12 girls in a Catholic boarding school in Paris. Later books in the series were written by Bemelmans' grandson John Bemelmans Marciano. Madeline was written by Ludwig Bemelmans and published in 1939. Most of the books have several recurring themes, such as Miss Clavel turning on the light and saying: "Something is not right." " The stories often are written entirely in rhyme, include simple themes of daily life, and the playful but harmless mischief of Madeline, which appeal to children and parents alike. Much of the media starts with the line "In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines. The teacher, a nun named Miss Clavel, is strict but loves the children, cares for them, and is open to their ideas. As a closing line, the adaptations invoke a famous phrase Ethel Barrymore used to rebuff curtain calls, " That's all there is, there isn't any more." The stories take place in a Catholic boarding school in Paris. The books have been adapted into numerous formats, spawning telefilms, television series and a live action feature film.
