![]() ![]() All keys have to be pressed at the exact same moment. Try entering different combinations of alphanumeric keys in the textbox, like r-y-u and e-r-x-c. ![]() That is what it means for a keyboard to have no "rollover". If you have no idea what I am talking about, imagine being able to press at most one key at a time. But is the software to blame, or the hardware? Specific groups of people experience that same problem. In summary: certain combinations of keys are blocked. This specific example was brought up in the forum topic Playing Chords. etc.And you probably have noticed chord playing does not always go smoothly with the pc keyboard: when you play some chords, some notes are missing. Crop, export, import into renoise as a sample etc. You can generate the click track before or after you record, so if you don’t know how many takes you want to do you can just record, then if you got what you want in 5 takes you can generate 5 takes worth of bars. Then mute the track, this is just to have a visual guideline for highlighting after you record. For the number of bars put in some multiple of how many bars you’re going to be recording for, for example if it’s 4 bars, and you want 10 tries, use 40 bars. ![]() You then can select at will which version to keep, or if you like one part of a version you can copy paste however you wish, before finally deleting the clones you don’t need.Īs for live audio instrument recording, I’m leaning towards the audacity method as probably the easiest: Open audacity and go to generate>click track. You can keep recording as you need and you end up with 1. Once it plays through the selection once, it loops back around and instead of just writing on top of previously recorded notes it will create a new clone to record on. It can be one pattern at a time, or multiple patterns in a row. What it will do when you start recording is it will create a clone of the patterns you have selected to repeat. Set it to delete unused clone at record stop. It’s a little weird at first but once you figure it out it’s perfect. Ok for future reference for anyone else looking for the same solutions as me: This isn’t a huge deal and definitely doesn’t bother me as much as my problem with takes, but I was just wondering what everyone else does. I figured out how to just record the different parts as multiple samples on the same instrument number and assign them to different notes, but that seems like a weird way to do it (although completely functional and way better than creating a new instrument for each part). With regards to live instrument recording, (for me it’s going to be mostly guitar and bass guitar) it seems like there ought to be a better way than creating a new instrument for every piece I record. I like to play the same part over and over and like by the second or third time I have a really good take I like because I was able to get into the beat of the song.Įven if I practice part to perfection, just the act of taking my hands from instrument to keyboard and mouse (to delete old take and start recording) and back to instrument makes me screw up several times in a row, which is annoying because I’m pretty sure I could get it perfectly right the 2nd time through. I don’t necessarily care about keeping multiple takes, but it’s kind of difficult to get a good recording of something (especially guitar, but midi instruments input too) because if you don’t get what you want on first try, you have to stop the track, delete your bad take, and start again. In other DAWs like Cubase, or Logic (Logic and Garageband has the best implementation of this I’ve seen), you can like section off part of your song to do live takes, and it will play that section over and over, and you can do multiple takes and then choose the one you want to keep, and delete the others if you wish. Ok so I don’t know if there’s a tool that does this (I couldn’t find one) or if I’m overlooking something simple or if it’s just not an implemented feature yet, but I’m looking for better ways to do “takes.” There are 2 things I’m looking for: ![]()

![]() ( Bayonetta: empowering or exploitative?) With this unique theme, the game itself is an artistic representation of the concept that female sexuality is its own kind of weapon. The Umbra Witches aren’t to be messed with. Between Bayonetta and her equally fierce rival, Jeane, it’s a women’s world - the boys just play in it. The title character uses the mantle of her sexuality as a power source. Instead, she relies on a personal power that would make Satan himself wet himself.Īre women actually offended that the modern man fantasizes about a woman like that? Are these poor qualities to put on a pedestal? If we think Bayonetta is an awesome character, are we somehow hurting the collective female consciousness? (Gamepot forum thread: Granted, B is a male fantasy…but is she a bad one? Are women offended?)Īlso, an argument that Bayonetta is an empowering figure for women:īayonetta takes the video game sexy woman stereotype from object to subject, and it’s tremendously empowering. She’s on top of every situation, kicks an apocalyptic amount of ass and, though sexual, does not (as far as I can see) ever use her sexuality in an instrumental way. She’s sexy, sexUAL, funny, ungodly strong,supremely confident, always composed, fiercely independent and often (chidingly) protective of others. First, a defense of Bayonetta as a male fantasy: This is an issue I feel strongly enough about that I don’t trust myself to accurately summarize the arguments for Bayonetta as a positive character, so I’m going to let some other people do the talking for me for a moment. ![]() So I’m going to take a look at both sides of the argument, and then weigh in with what I feel is some compelling evidence. That might sound counter-intuitive, but controversy is something that requires fervor on both sides of an argument, and I really don’t see how anyone could possibly defend Bayonetta as a positive role model. So it never fails to baffle me that she manages to generate a fair bit of controversy. She is one of the most blatantly sexualized and objectified characters in all of gaming. I hate her more than Ivy, more than Princess Peach, more than Other M Samus put together. It wouldn't be until twenty years later that Balder himself would explain that a flock of angels under his command was responsible for Antonio's death when attempting to kill Luka in the same way.Bayonetta is hands-down my least favorite character in any type of gaming ever. The boy assumed that it was Bayonetta's powers that were responsible and spurred him into pursuing her to expose her actions to the world for Antonio's sake. Upon discovering the coffin and waking Bayonetta from her slumber at the lake, Antonio was suddenly seized by an invisible force in the air and torn to pieces in front of Luka. However, Balder sensed that Antonio's writings about both the Ithavoll Group and his past as a Lumen Sage had the potential to reveal the truth about his plans, and took steps to ensure they wouldn't be made public. ![]() ![]() He detailed his findings of the clans and their powers within his notebook, with his investigation eventually leading him to Balder and the Ithavoll Group, whose sudden rise to power within the town caught his attention.ĭuring his research, Antonio discovered that the coffin Bayonetta was sealed inside was at the bottom of a lake and took Luka along with him on the trip to recover it. However, he often threw himself so much into his work that it came at the expense of dedicating time to his family, something he would come to regret in his later years.īefore the events of Bayonetta, Antonio learned of Vigrid and its rich history surrounding the Umbra Witches and the Lumen Sages. Antonio's appearance greatly compares to Luka's appearance in Bayonetta 2.Īntonio lived most of his life as a journalist of renown for over twenty years, earning a reputation of being dedicated to finding the truth no matter the extreme. The jacket has a scrap of blue cloth tied around the left sleeve with a knot and he wears a beige shirt with a pair of dog tags around his neck on a chain. He wears a brown hat and sports a jacket similar to Luka's, complete with black gloves. In the film Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, Antonio's appearance is of a middle-aged man with messy shoulder-length hair. In Bayonetta, Antonio's real features are never seen, as he is only physically portrayed in his diving gear when attempting to recover Bayonetta's coffin from the bottom of a lake. ![]() ![]() ![]() As with Above World, these new, genetically modified half animal/half human characters are fascinating and well formed, with varied cultures, customs, and beliefs. Instead of the sea and sky, however, this novel takes Aluna and her friends to the hot, dusty desert, to the ways of the horse-human Equians (and the snake-human Serpenti). The second book in the Above World series, Mirage is every bit as action-packed and grand as the first book. Aluna has the daunting task not only of saving her friend’s life, but also convincing the people of Shining Moon that Khan Onggur’s alliance with Karl Strand will only bring death and destruction to the Equians and all who live in Above World – she must convince the people of Shining Moon to challenge the High Khan at the upcoming Thunder Trials, and win power of all the herds to stop the Equians from going to war as Strand’s army.Īnd, as if things couldn’t be any worse, there’s also the problem of Aluna’s legs gradually fusing and changing into her Kampii tail – in the middle of the desert so far away from the ocean, with so many lives at stake depending on her and her strength in battle, this might be the most dangerous secret of all. Together, the unlikely group and Tayan head back to the Equians of Shining Moon – where Dash faces likely death. Luckily, Calli, Dash, Hoku, and Aluna are granted a temporary reprieve, when Tayan, emissary from the Shining Moon herd, intervenes and claims responsibility for Dash – for his appearance in Mirage is a violation of his Exile, and so by Herd law he must face punishment with his original tribe. Even worse, Scorch has an ax to grind with the Avians, and demands Calli’s blood for the bird-people’s murder of Scorch’s clone-siblings. They are too late to warn Dash’s people, and High Khan Onggur has allied with a human “upgrader” (that is, a technologically enhanced human/cyborg) who calls herself Scorch – another of Strand’s clones, who has manipulated her way into the High Khan’s favor. What the group finds at Mirage, however, is disheartening. Their greatest hope of warning the horse-people lies with the grand city of Mirage, home of the High Khan Onggur – a man of great honor, who rules not only over the Red Sky herd but all Equian lines. Battered and tired, the group makes their way to Dash’s people, the four-hooved Equians of the desert, to warn them of Karl Strand’s nefarious schemes for power. The battle of HydroTek is over, and the fierce Aluna and her friends Hoku, Calliope, and Dashiyn have emerged victorious over Karl Strand’s clones. If you have not read the first book in this series and wish to remain unspoiled, look away. **WARNING: This review contains unavoidable spoilers for Book 1, Above World. OF COURSE I was going to read it as quickly as possible! Imagine my delight, then, when Ana arrived with a copy of this beautiful, beautiful ARC. I actually mis-scheduled my review of Mirage – had I known this book came out in March, I would have bought it immediately. Why did I read this book: Are you freaking kidding me?

Stand alone or series: Book 2 in the Above World series Here is the action-packed follow-up to Above World, which Kirkus Reviews called “a thrilling sci-fi adventure. ![]() But if they fail, the desert - and possibly all of the Above World - will be lost to Karl Strand forever. To have any chance of defeating Scorch and convincing the Equians to switch sides, the four friends must find a way to win the Trials. ![]() Any herd that refuses to join him by the time of the desert-wide competition known as the Thunder Trials will be destroyed. Now the Equian leader has vowed to take all his people to war as part of Strand’s army. ![]() When they arrive, Strand’s clone, Scorch, has gotten there first. Aluna, Hoku, and their friends - winged Calli and Equian exile Dash - race to the desert city of Mirage, intent on warning the Equians. But the maniacal Karl Strand is out to conquer the Above World, and the horselike Equians are next on his list. The desert is no place for ocean-dwelling Kampii like Aluna and Hoku, especially now that Aluna has secretly started growing her tail.
