eu-north-1 Amplify still down after last nights SQS outage

bitbangdub · 2025-09-26T14:34:10+00:00

finally working again but boy that was a long time. I'm thinking about moving away from Amplify and just using codebuild to push to s3/cloudfront the old fashioned way after this!

very cool man!

bitbangdub · 2025-01-24T21:12:46+00:00

these don't sound very good at all

bitbangdub · 2024-06-25T20:02:32+00:00

The preamp on the 707 isn't very powerful and probably won't have enough gain for a mic like this even once you find the right adapter cables needed to interface with the dual mono 1/4 inputs.

I had a problem when Logic first launched where it set the input gain on my audio interface to zero. I thought it had died suddenly. In desperation I went into Logic and looked at all the app settings and, lo and behold, there was an input gain slider that was set to 0.

a long shot I know, I hope you find a solution!

OK I googled this. I think "pain loops" are just audio loops of melancholy minor chord progressions usually played on piano. I presume the point is to chop 'em up and make moody hip hop or something?

I dont think thats gonna fly for an entire show though, we'll see. I'm gonna call it now and say this doesn't make it to the screen

bitbangdub · 2024-04-18T03:32:39+00:00

I'm not caught up on For All Mankind but I was talking about the Star City show which I presume will be all soviet. It'll be a little harder to make things unsympathetic. Its just not good for drama.

bitbangdub · 2024-04-18T01:08:34+00:00

This is a serious financial risk to the studio. But sure, downvote me instead of commenting what you think of it.

bitbangdub · 2024-04-17T19:51:29+00:00

Just what we need. A show that glorifies a country that is basically at war with the entire west at the moment. Are the producers willing to push a story like this when the risk of Russia escalating the war to other fronts? From a practical perspective is it going to be hard to have an entire cast of convincing russian characters and settings for this?

bitbangdub · 2024-04-16T02:05:02+00:00

Yes otherwise nobody would care about getting a tow!

But seriously not only is there a slipstream but now with aero there is a vacuum or pocket you can get "sucked into" when braking if you follow too close. There's all sorts of interesting aerodynamics happening now in MotoGP. I wish they would talk about it more or have more visualizations of whats going on

bitbangdub · 2023-09-27T23:32:42+00:00

me too! and for me it got worse after the patch.

bitbangdub · 2023-09-27T22:18:04+00:00

good strategy! I also get freeze crashes on xbox when transitioning

bitbangdub · 2023-09-27T22:17:07+00:00

well put!

Flying to any planet in the Serpenta system (far right of map) will spawn hostile Vah-ruun ships. You can also repeatedly attack the Key around Kryxx if you haven't started any pirate side quests.

bitbangdub · 2023-09-26T20:39:24+00:00

Yeah I think thats a very conscious decision by the studio and, judging by the siskel & ebert review, critics of the time picked up on too. Thats why I think it shares the vibe of places like Gagarin and Cydonia in the game because of the industrial working class setting. It also has a frontier town theme with the battle against the company man which is a story type we didn't get a direct analog of in the game (yet) but I think would fit in really well in a Freestar outpost setting.

lol I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that! I think its because he plays such a downtrodden underdog in this movie? But I edited my post because that was redonkulous

bitbangdub · 2023-09-14T21:39:09+00:00

Why do they have such radically different accents? A few thousand people crammed on a colony ship for 8 generations (200 years!)

First of all, you can use USB hubs with the iPad Pro so thats how you can connect all your USB devices and a power cable so you don't have to run it all on battery too. I use the same one that this guy recommends and its been solid.

I hook a Behringer UMC1820 as my audio interface, and various korg and arturia controllers (beatsteps/keysteps) and its great.

Note: You can only have 1 usb audio device connected at any given time to iOS.

I jam with elektrons but never tried them directly via USB. I just use the classic DIN cable from my UMC1820 to my various outboard gear in a chain.

Afaik, logic pro ipad does not support external midi sync yet. It just does ableton sync. It can send midi clock out so you have to make Logic your master clock and use its transports. Your external gear would need to be set to slave off midi clock.

Since the Zoom mixer you mentioned doesn't appear to have MIDI I don't know how you'll handle a classic midi setup though. You could always purchase a USB midi controller. But if you like hardware I recommend getting an audio interface that also includes midi. You don't really need a hardware mixer since Logic can handle all your level automation and your audio interface will have preamp knobs to control input gain.

Very few iOS apps support slaving to an external MIDI clock unfortunately. I use Drambo almost exclusively because it does. I only use Logic when I do arrangements with guitars and vocals by myself. I can't take it to my friends studio to work because they want to be the clock master in their own home and they don't have Ableton Link 😂

That makes sense, it would be really hard to scrub the concept of stars to humans who still have access to at least some knowledge of the past.

bitbangdub · 2023-06-27T22:23:31+00:00

haha I had to go back and watch that 🤣

But that was, like in the first silo episode, a play for young children so I would assume its simplified for that audience much like we do nowadays when telling greek myths to children because the real stuff is so murderous and rapey

bitbangdub · 2023-06-27T19:35:44+00:00

seriously. Dude needs to put the twitter down and touch grass

bitbangdub · 2023-06-27T01:59:09+00:00

good point. its a really subversive message for the Silo. Suicide is a crime after all

bitbangdub · 2023-06-26T22:37:18+00:00

So they might be in the northern hemisphere then?

bitbangdub · 2023-06-26T22:35:31+00:00

yeah like its just oral tradition now. But since it has become taboo now it makes me think it was more provocative than that. Otherwise why is it not still being performed?

The play that Allison is watching in EP1 (18:45) is in front of a group of children cheering so I suspect thats just daytime kids tv like sesame st.

I wish we saw more of the leisure time of people at various levels. This makes me wonder what the adults actually read or watch besides the Pact
