A guy I know was jonesing for a Monster 6 (Dark) and he was hellbent on getting one. A shining example would be a Ducati Monster 6 as opposed to a Suzuki SV650. Then with the feel in mind, decide on power and options etc.Reasoning behind this is because you may find that one bike may feel just a bit off, but it may have a "twin" that could be perfect for you. The engine can handle it fine, but the frame size may not be to your liking.I would also advise going to a local bike shop, and just sit on all sorts of stuff and see what "feels" right. Yes, the 250 will get you around, but it may not suit your frame very well. I will have to suport the position that the other posters have already voiced. ![]()

Don’t overcook pork chops, or they may turn out dry and tough.For food safety, discard the extra marinade that came in contact with the raw pork.Always marinate pork chops in the refrigerator.I like to flip the bag over (or flip the pork chops if marinating in a dish) about halfway through the marinating time to make sure both sides soak up the flavor. Make sure the pork chops are well coated in the marinade.I prefer to use bone-in chops because the bone keeps the meat extra moist and juicy.

Performing any digital processing to a file is going to change it. This subject comes under “gain staging”, a big subject to cover in the future. It may not clip by itself, but as soon as you add any extra processing or play tracks simultaneously your DAW or plugins may overload. Peak normalization to 0 dBFS is a very bad idea for any parts to be used in a multi-track recording.Inside a multi-track DAW project, when you are not exporting the normalized files individually, you probably won’t suffer from the problems we now mention. For the sake of this section we are assuming you are using an audio editor. Normalization can be performed in a standalone program, usually an audio editor (like Sound Forge), or also inside your DAW. We still have the same 0 dBFS problem mentioned for RMS, but now the different normalized audio files should sound much more consistent in volume. ![]() It understands that we hear frequencies between 1000 – 6000 Hz as louder and takes that into account. It listens to the volume intelligently and thinks how we will hear it. This is a similar way to measure volume as RMS, but can be thought of as emulating a human ear. Luckily there is a recent solution, the new standard in broadcast audio, the catchily titled EBU R 128 EBU R 128 volume detection If one sound file has many frequencies between 1000 – 6000 Hz as shown in the diagram, it will sound louder. This is shown on the Fletcher-Munson curve below. Humans perceive different frequencies at different volumes. This may not be desirable, an example would be in mastering.Īnother problem is that RMS volume detection is not really like human hearing. This means that to make a group of audio files the same volume we may need to turn them all down so that none of their peaks clip (goes over 0 dBFS). We are still limited to the fact that digital audio can’t go above 0 dBFS. This method is closer to how the human ear works and will create more natural results across varying audio files. It takes an average and calls that the volume. There may be large peaks, but also softer sections. This considers the “overall” loudness of a file. In digital audio you can’t get any louder than the highest peak at 0 dBFS, so normalizing to this value will create the loudest file you can. This is the best method if you want to make the audio as loud as possible. This only considers how loud the peaks of the waveform are for deciding the overall volume of the file. We must first decide how we are going to measure the volume in the first place before we can calculate how to alter it, the results will be very different depending on what method we use. There are different ways of measuring the volume of audio. What is the best method to normalize audio? Often normalizing audio just won’t work for matching volume levels, mastering engineers need not loose any sleep. While this is a huge advantage, it can’t replace compression as it can’t affect the peaks in relation to the bulk of the sound. Normalization can be done automatically without changing the sound as compression does. It may be individual snare hits or even full mixes. If you have a group of audio files at different volumes you may want to make them all as close as possible to the same volume. ![]() ![]() When you see the stone Barbican sign on your right, walk up the ramp behind it.

At first blush, you get the impression that it is very preliminary - like an alpha release. ![]() Besides setting up your Internet connection, you do not have to fiddle with much of anything other than personal settings, which are optional. Zephyr Linux offers a small compilation of applications, including Firefox Web browser, Mirage image viewer, Thunar file manager, Atril PDF document viewer, a nice assortment of reliable audio and video media players, and a slew of system tools and accessory applications. Most text editors you find in lightweight distros are feature-limited, but that’s not so in Zephyr Linux. It comes with the Geany IDE text editor - a powerhouse editor used by coding and writing professionals. For years it has been my primary text editor. Geany is loaded with dozens of features and plug-ins. Zephyr also has a Google Docs script set up as a program launcher in the menu. It loads the Web browser or (if already opened) adds a tab connecting you to your Google Drive documents folder in the cloud. Like many small distros, Zephyr lacks much in the way of community forums and massive support teams. However, the developer provides a link to the Debian handbook for help with software issues. Considering that Zephyr is based on the forked Devuan, this is a bit ironic but helpful just the same. So Zephyr does not have its own software repository - at least not yet. This is not a problem if you do not mind using the Synaptic Package Manger to provide your software application needs. If you are new to Linux, Synaptic is a graphical package management tool based on GTK+ and APT. Synaptic makes it easy to install, upgrade and remove software packages in a user-friendly way. APT (Advanced Package Tool) thus serves as the software repository for Zephyr Linux.ĪPT is a set of tools for managing Debian packages. If you are familiar with entering command line instructions into a terminal, you can manage your software directly through APT without using the Synaptic graphical front-end. ![]() Its small size makes for a speedy installation. That process goes smoothly with a graphical installer that leaves little for you to do. You can run Zephyr in test mode by loading the CD/DVD in live session. Even better, it is small enough to run from a USB thumb drive. Or you can run it in a virtual environment. I used all of these methods prior to fully installing it to a hard drive. All three experiences were peppy and issue-free. Zephyr Linux should provide you with trouble-free service.

If you use a Green Element Summon against normal enemies, you'll get a Shiny Leaf after battle. The only way to get Shiny materials is to beat regular enemies using Summons you'll get one Shiny material for every enemy killed by a Summon. Problem: Not only do you need an extra-rare Rainbow Shell to forge Prism equipment, you also need one of every Shiny material. You can now buy Prism equipment using the Smith Spirit item. To do that, you have to beat the Black Dragon the "real" way, then return to Marbule once you have Serge, buy the Master Hammer, and take Zappa to meet himself. First off, how to even start getting Prism Equipment? No one will sell it until Zappa learns how. (Once they're equipped, they can't be de-equipped.) A very few techniques can combine for combination attacks more info about those here. Most techniques are learned by raising Star levels, but some must be found and equipped on characters. These are unique to each character and can't be de-equipped. Techniques: These have a before their name. What's more, some Traps are for Summons, which mean the enemy would have to wait till the Field Effect is all one color before they can use their Summon. However, these only exist for higher-level Elements, and most monsters never use them. You just gained yourself a new attack Element, and the enemy's attack was nullified. When a Trap Element is used in battle, any enemy which uses the Element which shares the name of the Trap Element will find that the Element will be swallowed by the Trap. These work exactly like Consumables, but instead of a "x1" they have a symbol comprised of an arrow and a square container. ![]() Trap Elements: The least-used of the Elements. Also, you use up a Star when you use the Summons (don't worry, there's NO WAY you'll use up all your Stars before you reach an Inn.) More about those in the next section. To use a Summon Element, the Field Effect must be all the same color as that Element. Summon Elements: These have a * before their name. Once a Consumable is used, it's gone (unlike regular Elements). Consumables can only be equipped on their natural levels (they have no level ranges). If you use one or more Consumables during battle, they will automatically be refilled after battle (if you have enough in stock). Up to five Consumables can be put on a single Element slot. They either heal HP or status, and can be used outside battle as well. Almost all consumables can be bought at shops. Elements have a natural level slot on which they must be equipped, but also usually have a range of slots higher and lower than that which they can be equipped on.Ĭonsumable Elements: These have a "x1" before their name. Certain Elements require that the person equipping them must have the same innate Element as the Element color. Regular Elements: You can use these Elements once in any battle, but they don't disappear after battle. There are really five types of Elements in CC.

You can enable or disable any of these tools by clicking the icons highlighted in green below: The toolbar above the components on the right panel includes handy tools such as a tuner, metronome, macros, master volume control, global effects, and ‘tape’ recorders. If you’re familiar with real guitar gear, you might recognize what some of these components are based on the icons and names. Here are some screenshots of the various types of amps and effects models: Of course, you can do this with other plugins by disabling the amps or cabinets, but Guitar Rig 6 makes it easier to set up custom rigs. I like this approach of building up your rig because it makes it easier to combine this plugin with other plugins.įor example, if you already use a plugin such as BIAS AMP for your amp tones, you can build up rigs in Guitar Rig 6 purely for extra effects.Īlternatively, you can build complete rigs with amp and cabinet simulation directly in Guitar Rig 6. For example, the ‘Citrus’ is clearly based on Orange, Lead 800 based on Marshall, etc. The design and names of each of the components are clearly based on real-world hardware. You can drag any component in any order you want from the left panel to the right to start building your rig.įor example, you could start by selecting the Amplifiers and dragging one to the right panel along with a matched cabinet. Go File > New (Ctrl + N) to set up a blank rig. If you want to build your own presets, start with the components view on the left panel. It would have been nice to be able to rename the colors to something else. It’s a bit strange saving favorites to colors, but it works well enough as an easy sorting system. You can add presets to more than one color favorite and easily bring up those favorites by clicking the color dots on the top of the panel. If you find a preset you like, right-click it in the list and you can save it to one of the color-codes: If you’re new to Guitar Rig, I recommend starting here to hear the wide range of tones and effects Guitar Rig 6 can produce outside of typical guitar amp tones. I always used Guitar Rig 5 for wild effects, so when I first installed Guitar Rig 6, I immediately searched for presets under the ‘Experimental’ genre. ![]() There are a ridiculous number of presets, but you can easily narrow your search down with the handy filters.įor example, you can start by selecting Guitar as your Input source (Guitar Rig has been popular over the years with non-guitarists), then narrow the presets down further by selecting the type of effect you want, genre, or overall type of tone. The presets view on the left panel is a great way to learn what Guitar Rig 6 has to offer. Learn about all of these settings and how to connect your guitar to a PC in this guide. Here you can select your interface, set up the sample rate, fix latency issues, and set up your inputs and outputs. If you run Guitar Rig as a standalone application, you can set up your audio interface under the preferences section by clicking the upper left logo, then File > Preferences > Audio (Ctrl + ‘,’ shortcut). If you install it as a plugin, you can open it in any DAW to use for your recordings ( learn about the Best DAWs for Guitar here). Guitar Rig 6 can be installed as a VST plugin, AAX plugin, and as a standalone application. To give you an idea of whether Guitar Rig 6 is for you or not, I’ll walk through the main features and how to use it. There’s a lot of features I could talk about, but instead of talking about the number of amps and models like you can easily check on the Guitar Rig website, I’ll walk through how you use the plugin. Guitar Rig 6 keeps this interface and I’m glad to see it has remained unchanged. ![]() Guitar Rig has always been different than other guitar amp and effects plugins in that you build your rig by stacking components vertically as shown above. The right panel displays your rig and the left panel displays presets and components. Guitar Rig 6 keeps the main layout and ideas from previous versions but gives it a modern look. If you have used Guitar Rig 5, the first thing you’ll notice when you load version 6 is the updated interface:
