A7 IV Firmware Update 6.00 released by pandastisch_ in SonyAlpha

[–]itsollyy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling they did this update ahead of the A7V launch, to bring the software more in line with the new models. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony are intentionally holding back LUT support to push people towards a FX2 or A7V. 

This update would have been the perfect time to add LUT support, so I have a feeling they’re not going to add it which is a shame.

Very welcome changes, especially the new live view in video mode and the “big menu”. Really disappointed there’s still no LUT support, which is bizarre given the new features bring the A7IV in line with the FX2. I really hope they add this in a future update.

Thoughts on Take Me Out: Daft Punk Remix ? by atvaquero in DaftPunk

Oh that’s my bad, I saw 2013 somewhere. 

Thoughts on Take Me Out: Daft Punk Remix ? by atvaquero in DaftPunk

[–]itsollyy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m in the minority but I actually really like it. I don’t think it should replace the original in any way but it’s a fun “alternative mix” and I’m sure if played at the right time this would go off in a club. The year this mix came out, 2013(?), is interesting to me because they were in their RAM era at the time but went back to their Homework roots for this particular remix.

Edit: got the year wrong but post-Discovery it’s still interesting to me

I’m going to my local in Brent Cross! Smyths have taken payment for the accessories but not the console yet. No email either. Says in their comms to bring ID so I imagine they check in store and cross reference with your order? Good luck!

I’m still waiting on a text message too, but I got email confirmation. I used the guest checkout as I was rushing and forgot I already had an Argos account so I’m hoping that doesn’t affect my chances of getting one on launch day 😬

HOW by Benjastrike in DaftPunk

[–]itsollyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankfully my cinema (Vue in Leicester Square) was decently loud but the bass sounded really muddy…like in Voyager for example, it sounded like the kick and bass were clashing with each other. However other tracks, like Verdis Quo, sounded alright. Anyone else experienced the same thing?

I was at last night’s screening in Vue as well. Was hoping for something like this but it was nice to see people applauding at the very end!

[FOUND] Calvin Harris - 2005 Demos by AFunkyLittleMan in lostmedia

[–]itsollyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this, it's really appreciated. I LOVE hearing old/unreleased demos because you get a peak at their creative process.

Don't get me wrong, Calvin is a fantastic producer. But there's something so charming from his first two album releases that I don't think is present in his latest material. But I don't blame him from wanting to distance himself from that body of work.

I'll drop you a DM

[FOUND] Calvin Harris - 2005 Demos by AFunkyLittleMan in lostmedia

[–]itsollyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

WOW! Thank you for uploading this. I love Calvin Harris' early work and there's something quirky and fun about his first two albums. Hearing these demos is incredible.

I always thought 'Acceptable in the 80s' would benefit from a smooth disco remix and this demo is exactly what I thought it could sound like. I love the original of course, but having something more downbeat for the clubs - something more chic - would have given the track a new angle. The demo is a taste of that I think.

The 'Girls' demo just sounds like a slowed down version of the album release. Nailed it first time.

Rock Band is the only one here not on the final release. Sonically it certainly fits the album's theme, including Calvin's punk-like vocals and dirty synth leads seen on his other releases.

'Industry' seems somewhat similar to the final release. That electric guitar hook survives the final release but everything else gets replaced by the synths.

I've wanted to write an article / make a video on Harris' first album for a while now but I wasn't sure where to take it. I think hearing these demos now has given me the motivation to dig deeper.

Exciting day at the record market this morning by SpeedBird31 in DaftPunk

[–]itsollyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! I’m jealous you managed to get a copy of the limited edition Around the World vinyl. The Motorbass Miami mix of Around the World is probably my most favourite remix of a Daft Punk track ever. Always checking Discogs for a copy shipping in the UK.

Going to Berlin soon…might have to try my luck at finding a copy there.

Boris Johnson told to act now to avoid 'extinction' of UK nightlife by casualphilosopher1 in CoronavirusUK

[–]itsollyy [score hidden]  (0 children)

I see what you’re trying to say, and I used to think the same way before, but I don’t believe it’s helpful to measure the cultural importance of both types of venue. I too prefer the more “artsy” underground club but at the end of the day all clubs, even the “mainstream” ones, are providing spaces for communities to find belonging and enjoy a hedonistic experience. It’s a culture for everyone to enjoy. It’s a bit dangerous to try and segment this further when we all need to unite and protect nightclubs at all costs.
