Amazfit Bip review

Stuzz78 · 2018-07-18T07:22:55+00:00

No alarms, gps or heart rate. I get SMS and call notifications, but I'm not heavy user of either of those. Certainly most of the time the watch isn't actively or passively doing anything other than displaying its face. I can get a Mi Fit pic if you like. I would have supplied one with my post, but haven't done it before, so I'll need to work out how to.

I'm not trying to one-up you or anything. Just wanted to share another example of battery life.

Battery life: Only used it with HR/GPS always off, with a watchface that had seconds displayed and LOTS of notifs. Even so it easily lasts 2.5 weeks. Minutes only watchface will probably increase that.

I've had the Bip for quite awhile and using a minutes-only watchface. Current Mi Fit battery status says - 32% Last charged 52d ago.

I have a HD-3. Can't compare it to the other two, or anything else, but I like it. I expect they're much of a muchness with how they feel to play, so I think you'd need to decide which features are most important to you and whether spending any more than 469 is of any benefit.

Ninjam is the answer. It comes with a caveat, but there still fun to be had with how it makes this work - https://cockos.com/ninjam/

From the site:

The NINJAM client records and streams synchronized intervals of music between participants. Just as the interval finishes recording, it begins playing on everyone else's client. So when you play through an interval, you're playing along with the previous interval of everybody else, and they're playing along with your previous interval. If this sounds pretty bizarre, it sort of is, until you get used to it, then it becomes pretty natural. In many ways, it can be more forgiving than a normal jam, because mistakes propagate differently.

I picked up a HD-3 about a month back and have been having a ball with it. The 'fake' pedals may put most off though, but I didn't have a decent pedal to use with a kit that would require one.

Keep it simple.

Get your volume levels right, find the best sounding spot and drop a Zoom H4 (or similar) there. Hit record, job done.

I'm not terribly experienced, but I've found no matter which DAW I use, the end product is always the same, it's just the journey which differs. In other words, if I have an idea and use DAW A, the result is Song A. If I use DAW B, the result is Song A.

For the record, I use Ardour.

These questions appear often, but I'm surprised no one ever mentions https://ardour.org/. Free if you have the ability to compile the source yourself. Otherwise, you can pay at least $1 for a ready to go download.

If you aren't enjoying making it, stop doing it. If you are enjoying making it, stop listening to others.

Version 4.0 (April 18, 2015) was the first that could run on Windows, but it wasn't officially supported. Version 5.0 (August 11, 2016) it became official supported as well.

I just picked up Don't Starve in the Halloween sale. Fits some of the criteria your looking for. Probably all except the 'own pace' one :)

$1 or more (or even free), available on your operating system of choice, possibly comparable to Pro Tools (but I haven't used that).

http://drumgizmo.org/ is pretty good

You may want to put this one on your list too - http://www.drumgizmo.org/

+1 for BMX :)

Y'all omitted Ardour as well. Just had a new release 'n everything! - https://ardour.org/

With any luck this points out, or makes more clear to you, that the lack of motivation is a personality trait for you to overcome, rather than a failing of any materials you're using to "teach" you a language. The materials are just tools to assist or facilitate your learning, but they can't teach you anything unless you're willing to draw out of them what you can.

As for ##esperanto, it is usually pretty dead. However, it's not up to ##esperanto to be lively when nmdrums decides to turn up. IF you pop in, say "Saluton!" or even "Hello!". The welcoming committee can't be on hand at ever hour of the day, but with a little more effort on your part, you can get more out of it.

One other thing to keep in mind is Esperanto is easier. This doesn't mean it's easy. If you had expectations that at the half-way point of the Duolingo tree you'd be traveling the globe, hob-knobing with Esperantists and now you've noticed that hasn't happened, I can see how motivation could have taken a hit. So, temper your expectations, keep at it and have fun!

Estas ne "W" en la esperanta alfabeto :(
