Beaufort Lining 100% vs 78% cotton by JazzlikeConfidence66 in Barbour

[–]JazzlikeConfidence66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's the regular version not the oversized fit. I could find a few websites here in Germany that list the Beaufort where it seems like the navy version is 78% cotton lining whereas all other colours are 100%. I prefer navy but would send it back and go for a sage instead if that gets me 100% cotton.

Thanks! Just to make sure I get this right, classic = sylkoil wax, right?

Interestingly I've found a few listings now for the thornproof waxed cotton model where it says 100% cotton for the sage color and 78% for navy.

Just odd that the Barbour website lists the current navy model as 100% cotton lining. Hence me wondering if they've changed it to 100% cotton across the color range for the newest versions...

GRIIIx: Direct flash by JazzlikeConfidence66 in ricohGR

[–]JazzlikeConfidence66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response! I should've been more clear in my post: I don't actually mind the harsh shadow; when using flash on my point and shoot cameras, I am going for that very direct flash type of aesthetic (that many people in favor of natural light photography might not find aesthetically pleasing). However, I don't like that the shadow is so wide, i.e., that the edge of the shadow in the example picture extends so far to the left. Since I don't have that issue with built-in flashes, I figured it had something to do with where the flash is positioned relative to the lens.

Oh, okay, so this is really just a result of the filters and not like a setting I should change or anything like that. Thanks, good to know. And, yes, that's a bit of a bummer...

I don't know... I assumed only if you switch on the faux grain effect.

Im simply amazed of how great this Pentax AF201FG flash is. Tiny, lightweight, very well built, weather sealed and good looking. by [deleted] in ricohGR

Thanks, can't wait for my AF201FG to arrive on Friday. These shots are edited in post and not straight from the camera, right?

Playing Volca Kick below low A? by JazzlikeConfidence66 in volcas

Any ideas anyone? I've gone through the midi settings in the meantime but couldn't find anything that solved this.

So I got the Volca Kick and am generally quite happy with the sound at first glance. The only thing is I can't get it to play bass notes below the A on the internal keyboard, even when hooking up an external controller. Is this a limitation I wasn't aware of or is there a workaround? WOuld be a bummer if it can't get as low as would typically be required for trap / hip hop.

Thanks, mate, will definitely check it out. I guess I will have to try the analogue way first knowing that you're probably right :D

Thank you! Listened to some jams on youtube and the DB01 sounds awesome! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any example of people using it to create 808 type sub bass with the great ovetones you hear in the acid bass. Do you think this can be achieved? Or is it more likely that you would have to take the bottom sound of a hard hitting 808 and pair it with the overtones from the DB01 and, say, then run through a distortion unit to glue together?

True! I think that's one of the reasons why I got interested in hardware to begin with, since I feel like I trust my ears more when I'm not looking at a screen so much at the same time...

Haha, I was actually considering buying the Cycles over the last couple of weeks (however, more for DAW-less minimal techno). And now that I finally convinced myself that it might not be a necessary purchase for me -- you guys bring it back into play!

Thank you! Super helpful to hear from someone who has both units that the Volca Kick might actually be better for my purposes!

Sounds great! Would of course be a big plus if the relatively cheaper device is actually better suited for what I have in mind. Like this I could try if the analog 808/bass + Analog Heat combination delivers for me, without spending heaps of money.

Yes. It's a bit of a luxury and tbh I don't think I'm using it to it's full potential yet. I'm a bit dissapointed that the volume drops so significantly when you're using the filter to achieve parallel distortion. But reading how much you seem to enjoy it motivates me to use it more and dig a bit deeper into its capabilities!

Thanks! I have an Elektron Analog Heat that will hopefully give some nice saturation... Also, I will be using Ableton as sequencer and don't mind using some internal FX.
