![]() When Apple moved Logic to the AppStore - again they made it clear that Mainstage was being broken out - and being sold separately. It was also well stated by many that Apple was doing away the boxed products - Logic was the real holdout. And that Mainstage was being split out as well - All this was out there on the streets in September. It was rather clear that Soundtrack Pro was headed to the morgue, Waveburner's going bye bye and will be incorporated into Logic 10. I also paid full price for PT10, and DP7. ![]() I paid $500.00 for Logic 9 / As a music professional - I'm not upset at Apple. Formerly a component of the Logic Studio suite, Apple moved MainStage (and Logic Pro) to the Mac App Store last December. MainStage is a 302 MB download from the Mac App Store and is priced at $29.99, although the 2.2.1 update is of course free for current MainStage 2.2 users. Resolves several issues related to the download and installation of basic and additional content - Addresses a stability issue that could cause MainStage to hang during startup while initializing MIDI - Fixes issues that improve CPU performance and latency, particularly when using the Playback plug-in - Resolves an issue that prevented stereo audio input from working as expected - Fixes a problem that blocked sidechain input for plug-ins ![]() The MainStage 2.2.1 update addresses overall stability and performance issues including: According to the full release notes, the update addresses sixteen separate issues, with the company highlighting the following: Apple today released MainStage 2.2.1, an update to the company's software for bringing virtual instruments and effects to live performances.

![]() Donnie, the random, unintelligible, hyperactive Wild Child.When people hear Eliza talking to animals it sounds like animal noises and gibberish. Animal Talk: Animals can all converse with each other but not with humans, except for Eliza.A dolphin that can transform into a beautiful human woman and leaves the sea seeking companionship with a human? Yep. All Myths Are True: Subverted with El Gordita (who is not a vampire), but if the region that the family is in has lore, it's true.Another episode had Eliza trying to free an elephant calf from a nature preserve, both of them believing the place was a prison.until she succeeded, saw just what poachers can do to wild elephants, and found that the calf's mother was deeply relieved to discover her behind that gate.The finches nearly devour the insect population and soon the entire food chain starts falling apart. ![]() She decides to make his life easier by giving him (and later on, additional finches) sewing needles. Case in point: when the Thornberrys are on the Galapagos islands, Eliza stumbles across a finch attempting to spear some hidden insect larvae with a thorn. The show occasionally argued that misguided attempts to "help" animals who are apparently suffering often makes things worse.When Darwin tries to give him fruit instead he politely declines. Affably Evil: The Komodo Dragon is pretty polite to Eliza and Darwin, other than that he makes it no secret that he plans to kill and eat them.He turns out to be not only an impostor of Marianne's friend, but also a crazy guy who thought he was a vampire because he watched American horror films and was unable to distinguish reality from fiction. Actually Not a Vampire: The episode "Blood Sisters" had the family encounter an old friend of Marianne who makes no effort in hiding that he is a vampire.This show has examples of some of the only non-villainous roles in Tim Curry's career - Nigel Thornberry and his father. The series has three films to its name, the Made-for-TV Movie The Wild Thornberrys: The Origin of Donnie (2001), and two theatrical films: The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002), and the Crossover movie Rugrats Go Wild! (2003). Also along for the ride was the deeply neurotic chimpanzee Darwin, and crazy wild jungle boy Donnie, Eliza's adopted younger brother. The cast is filled out by the aforementioned parents Nigel and Marianne Thornberry, the Nature Documentary's presenter and camerawoman respectively and Eliza's older sister, the deadpan and deeply-unenthusiastic- about-her-parents'-career Debbie. Naturally, there's a catch-she can't tell anyone she has this power, or else she loses it, and presumably, the shaman who gave it to her to begin with would be hard-pressed to give it back again. The show centers around Eliza Thornberry, an adventurous young girl who can talk to animals, an especially handy power when your parents travel the world to make Nature Documentaries. The Wild Thornberrys was a Nicktoon that ran from 1998 to 2004, produced by Klasky-Csupo of Rugrats fame, (deep breath) created by Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo, Steve Pepoon, David Silverman note not to be confused with the animator of the same name who is best known for his work on The Simpsons and Stephen Sustarsic, and developed by Mark Palmer, Jeff Astrof and Mike Sikowitz. ![]() Each ductless unit, also known as a mini-split, is adhered to the wall. ![]() While these systems have been the standard in home heating and cooling for a while, they are no longer the only option.Ī ductless AC system delivers cool air in individual rooms, rather than using a duct system to reach various parts of your home.

She comments, “But I think I was also holding on to the loss, to the emptiness of the house itself, as though to affirm that it was better to be alone than to be stuck with people who were supposed to love you, yet couldn’t.” Update this section!

The narrator returns to visit her parents' empty house after their death. Narrator's parents' house as a symbol of narrator's relationship with her parents Ping Xi's art underscores the cruelty and lack of meaning that the narrator finds not only in the art world but in society overall.

It just doesn’t push the issue enough and the character comes across as another wilting teen protagonist without much of a personality. Her character somewhat transcends and subverts the protagonist you’d typically see in these films and Camille has a bit more agency, particularly as the film progresses to the third act. But Camille is no Suzy or Jennifer and Suki Waterhouse is probably the secret weapon of Seance. The somewhat doe-eyed new girl being immediately thrust into conflict with a clique of mean girls brings to mind Argento films such as Phenomena or Suspiria, the latter of which is somewhat referenced through a ballet plot point. The way Barrett stages the school and the camera positioning and angle choices from cinematographer Karim Hussain brings to mind the boarding school horror films of yesteryear. It was hard to tell due to screener compression, but the look of Seance seemed to have a lot going for it. What follows is a somewhat typical stalk and slash as someone (or something) creeps around the school, picking off its members, one by one. Later that night, one of the girls is murdered while taking a selfie outside and her belongings disappear. Kerrie warns them that there actually is a ghost haunted Edelvine and that “she” is going to kill them.before the planchette launches itself into a candle, sending the room into darkness. The brawl leads Camille, her new friend Helina (Ella-Rae Smith), and the group of somehow interchangeable mean girls in detention, where they must digitize the school’s archive.īored, the group decide to makeshift create a planchette out of a stick of lipstick and a phone case to try to contact Kerrie to see how and why she died. The cabal of mean girls who pranked the room’s former resident to death have decided that Camille must be taught a lesson, but she proves more than a little resilient as she punches the head mean girl Alice (Inanna Sarkis) in the face. And that’s before she’s put in the dead student’s room, where the lights are constantly buzzing and flickering in and out. Camille has been on top of the Edelvine Academy’s waitlist for quite some time and, starting in the middle of the year, she has an upward battle. Unfortunately, Seance is more a stumble than a home-run.Īfter a cold open in which a group of students play a prank on a fellow student named Kerrie (Megan Best) that ends with her apparent suicide, Seance introduces new student Camille (Suki Waterhouse).

![]() If you click on this icon to turn Quick Help on, you can hover your cursor over a part of the project to find out more about it. There is also an excellent feature in GarageBand called Quick Help. You can get started with a project in seconds, and everything is easy to see and makes sense. And this is especially true if you are used to using Apple products and apps. GarageBand is a bit more intuitive from a user-interface perspective. That’s essential to help you get the hang of setting up and working within recording projects without a huge learning curve. These apps were created with beginners in mind, so an easy-to-use interface was intended from the start. Even if you don’t have any experience working with music production at all, these apps are relatively easy to figure out. Let’s start this comparison by looking at one of the aspects where both BandLab and GarageBand excel – ease of use. Here is a more in-depth look at BandLab versus GarageBand to give you a head-to-head comparison of what each offer. Limited plugins and effects for expansive production and mixing possibilities.

Out of the 15 games that we wanted to see on the retro console, Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter and Rayman made it to the list, leaving classics such as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy Tactics, Suikoden II, Xenogears, and Parasite Eve out in the cold. Sony pre-loaded the PlayStation Classic with 20 PlayStation titles, including Final Fantasy VII, Grand Theft Auto, and Twisted Metal. Pre-orders are currently being accepted for the console, which looks very much like the original PlayStation but 45 percent smaller. The PlayStation Classic will be released on December 3 with a price tag of $100. Lesser educated people might see this as a cause of frustration, but here's the reality: it's an acknowledgement that an 'amateur' emulator can be just as valid as an 'official' one (and they're usually better!). The PlayStation Classic uses an open source emulator, PCSX. With the PCSX ReARMed in the PlayStation Classic, Sony is highlighting one of the most popular PlayStation emulators, while eliminating the illegal aspects of playing retro games. iS: Internal Section: Change PSX clock to 45 to get past the boot. The problem that video game companies have is that emulators encourage people to illegally download ROMs, which are pirated copies of games, to play on the software. I would download the GameCube version it runs smoother. Instead of devoting time and resources to creating an official emulator, why not use software that has been developed and tested for years?Įmulators themselves have never been illegal. While it may be viewed as laziness on Sony’s part, PCSX ReARMed in the PlayStation Classic makes sense. The features of RetroArch combined with PCSX-ReARMed's excellent Dynamic Recompiler allow for an adequate PlayStation emulation experience, though expect some inaccurate emulation. This makes the decision to use an open-source, fan-made emulator in the PlayStation Classic an ironic one, as it essentially acknowledges all the hard work that Sony itself is trying to stamp out. Emulators: lr-pcsxrearmed, PCSX-ReARMed, lr-beetle-psx lr-pcsxrearmed.
