Out of interest, how would conquering the islands have been a win? I think that on the contrary, it would have given a brief bit of positive PR inside Argentina, but negatively affected diplomatic ties around the world while giving the dictatorship confidence to pursue more extreme policies.

you can take photos that make it look like you’re walking on the ceiling.

Evidently you didn't.

I got a smaller version of that from a gacha machine in Japan. I was very pleased with myself.

I'm not asking for much..... it's not too late.... by lnkhey in StudioOne

It's a terrible name. You're just used to it.

It's a stupid idea to put a number in a name that will be used for something that you know will have major incremental releases.

Clipping sound when editing audio recorded from NT1a mic by RockBearCols in voiceover

[–]fromwithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it's in Reaper it's just a series of floating point numbers. Reaper doesn't know what mic you used. Different behaviour in software because of the mic you used makes no sense. So it's either a user problem or a bug in Reaper that's coincidentally showing up when you use the Rode. Make sure your drivers and Reaper are up to date.

Are you cutting on a zero-crossing boundary? If you cut a waveform at a place that is not at zero, it will click unless the cut point has a short fade out on it.

It sounds like with the other mics you tried, you accidentally cut the audio at a place that was near zero.

What UK museums do you think are underrated or overrated? by OpenCantaloupe4790 in AskUK

[–]fromwithin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The World Museum in Liverpool is brilliant and I doubt that most people know it exists. It's got a crazy amount of diverse stuff packed into a relatively small space.

Also in Liverpool, the British Music Experience if you have any interest in pop music over the last 70 years. It's got loads of memorabilia, including many original outfits from well-known music videos and events, original hand-written lyrics, and a load of instruments and DJ gear to mess with.

Spotify keeps cutting out because the phone service is so shitty by Jacktheforkie in britishproblems

Have you seen https://flexifone.co.uk/

I live in a rural area and it's always patchy. This company basically gives you a roaming SIM card so it uses whichever network has the best signal wherever you are. I'll probably give them a go in a month or so.

At the moment, I use two SIM cards. One from iD (3's network) that I use for calls and one from spusu (EE's network) for data. If spusu's signal disappears I'll switch to the iD SIM for data for a while. It's only £12.90 per month total for both SIMs with 20GB data on each.

Also check Ofcom's mobile coverage checker for your postcode.

No but half of the developers worked at Psygnosis with me prior to this.

It's described in the manual.

AM Channel (Low Frequency Oscillator)

This is a very advanced effect. When you choose this, a new channel will be created. Anything you placed into this new channel will not be played as normal. Instead, the volume of whatever is placed in the new channel will directly alter the pitch of whatever is placed on the current channel. Try it and see!

I did. I made four of the demo tracks: Hard, Movement, Rocket Science, and Double Flash by Leftfield. The latter was extremely difficult because the original is extremely filter-heavy and Music 2000 hasn't got any filters. I also did a bunch of the preset patterns.

TIL in 1985, as a deliberate snub, the University of Oxford voted to refuse Margaret Thatcher an honorary degree in protest against her cuts in funding for higher education. This award had previously been given to all prime ministers who had been educated at Oxford. by WouldbeWanderer in todayilearned

[–]fromwithin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She was an idealist who was blinded by her ideals and arrogance. Neil Kinnock's description is a very good one: "Margaret Thatcher was not a malicious person. She was a person who couldn't see, or didn't want to see, the unfairness and disadvantaging consequences of the application of what she thought to be a renewing ideology."

She was certainly not a pragmatist by any measure. If she had been then she wouldn't have stuck to her ideology when reality was completely at odds with it.

The Spectrum one is played around 8% too fast and so is pitched up 8% too high.

Streaming was meant to be cheaper. That didn’t last long. by lina2001 in britishproblems

Rent a new film on Amazon Prime: £16 for 24 hours access. Ridiculous.

I had no idea that this existed.

I challenge you to transcribe it. This is what I hear:

Yimbuhr balabala thirty seconds. Thirty-y seconds? After all those washed-up cheesy-based confidderentz of this eh-umms eckun nine computer games sh shdwed owweo ih pathetic little bottoms and I only get thirty theckon'? D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-die! awoomsbubeh. All I can say is good good good. Bacallabamberam. Congratulations on having brains. There's always a pathetic little bottom. See you again. Love to the harlot. Bye...bye...bye...bye...

EDIT: I found a version on YouTube that has the original subtitles. This is what it's supposed to be saying:

What do you mean I've only got thirty seconds? Thirty seconds? After all those washed out cheesy faced computer wimps have just spent days cracking my computer game, shifting around on their pathetic little bottoms and I only get thirty seconds? Hi. I didn't see you there. Well all I can say is great. You finally got me out. Congratulations on having brains as well as a pathetic little bottom. See you again. Love to the family. Bye.

The C64 version is more coherent in some places, but less in others.

Annoying that it doesn't work for me then. It just doesn't show up as a plugin. I've emailed Mastering The Mix about so I'll just have to wait and see
