1/10/2024 0 Comments Sugar sugar archies genreTrue story: We were in the car, all seven kids and our parents, on the way home from visiting relatives on New Years Day as the radio counted down to the 1969 Song of the Year. There are a bunch of exclusive perks only for patrons: playlists, newsletters, downloads, discussions, polls - hell, tell us what song you would like to hear covered and we will make it happen. Cover Me is now on Patreon! If you love cover songs, we hope you will consider supporting us there with a small monthly subscription. The Blue Orchids’ cover came out on their 2004 album Mystic Bud, and it sounds like that’s what they were on when they recorded “Sugar, Sugar.” The song has a dreamy, druggy feel – compares it favorably to the Velvet Underground’s “Heroin” – and the swirling haze alters the whole feel of the song from G-rated horniness to slow-motion realization of love. Here’s a bonus “Sugar, Sugar” from an artist not nearly as well known as any of the above, but who might have the inside track to having the best of these half-dozen covers. Still, if you want some jazzy easy listening sounds of the era, you could do worse than listen to his instrumental version of “Sugar, Sugar.” The Blue Orchids – Sugar, Sugar (The Archies cover) It’s most evident, though, that his heart isn’t in it. He covers hits of the late ’60s, in an attempt to cross over to the rock market. Give it this much: It’s a better title than Chet Baker Sells Out, which is what it amounts to. Chet Baker – Sugar, Sugar (The Archies cover)Ĭhet Baker’s 1970 album for Verve was titled Blood, Chet and Tears. But the Turners’ “Sugar, Sugar” has all the same grits ‘n’ grease with none of the anger or resignation of their non-covers. Anyone looking for clues within might have found them in the titles of Tina’s originals – “Too Many Women,” “Too Much For One Woman,” “Unhappy Birthday,” etc. The Ike & Tina Turner album Delilah’s Power was released a year after their breakup. Their “Sugar, Sugar” might not have been intended for the light of day, but as Robert Christgau noted, “there’s something in her voice, a hurtful rough place the honey missed, that makes me want to listen.” Ike & Tina Turner – Sugar, Sugar (The Archies cover) She and the Pips had left Motown for Buddah, and as they were reaping the benefits of having a smash hit in “Midnight Train to Georgia,” their former label opened up the vaults and grabbed whatever they could find to put in an album format. Gladys Knight & the Pips – Sugar, Sugar (The Archies cover)ġ975’s A Little Knight Music was a cynical cash grab, but not on Gladys Knight’s part. One listen to this and you’ll understand why the Replacements worshipped at the Church of Chilton. Here, he does a sloppy, half-joke cover of “Sugar, Sugar,” throwing a little James Brown into the mix for good measure. He was leaving his gruff soul vocals behind and hadn’t yet landed on his keening pop voice, so he tried on a number of masks in the privacy of the studio. Post-Box Tops, pre-Big Star, the teenaged Alex Chilton began recording his first solo material in 1969. Alex Chilton – Sugar, Sugar (The Archies cover) They perform the song engagingly, but as the evidence would soon show, Marley was better suited to bigger messages. And it’s raked up a lot of covers – including some by artists you never would have guessed…īob Marley & the Wailers – Sugar, Sugar (The Archies cover)į’rinstance, would you have guessed that before Bob Marley caught a fire, he chewed a little bubblegum? Marley and the Wailers’ cover of “Sugar, Sugar” was only released in the United States, likely as not in an effort to gain success via airplay. It’s been remade for Archie-related live-action TV shows, not once but twice. Sung by Ron Dante and backed up by Toni Wine (who turns 72 today!), it’s the perfect AM rock song, the #1 song of 1969, one that Lou Reed once admitted he wished he’d written. The Wicked Pickett’s version is indeed eternally worthy of relistening, but I don’t want to slight the Archies song. “This has songs on it I’ll actually want to listen to more than once!” In a twinkling he was holding a Very Best of Wilson Pickett CD, containing Pickett’s classic “Sugar, Sugar” cover. “If it doesn’t matter what version you lip-sync to…” ![]() “I have to learn this song for a lip-sync for work.” He grimaced. One day a customer came in and asked, “Do you have a copy of the song ‘Sugar, Sugar’?” We did, of course I took him to the Various Artists section and handed him a copy of Billboard Top Rock ‘n’ Roll Hits: 1969. I used to work in the music department of a chain bookstore.

1/10/2024 0 Comments Max payne 3 multiplayer 2020![]() ![]() Max Payne 3's multiplayer is a compelling piece of work and it shows that Rockstar have started to develop some solid muscle in the online realm. ![]() In the final match, each side is given a tally based on how well they've done, and then a straight head-to-head Team Deathmatch for bragging honours. For example, in our first play-through, we had to best our opposing team in a King of the Hill match, followed by a Domination match, followed by a version of Capture the Flag that involved collecting briefcases of cash. The structure sees the AI stack a series of four match-types, depending on how each side is doing. In Gang Wars, players take on the roles of some of the favela crews Max encounters in the main story, who are engaged in frenzied turf battles. Gang Wars, for its part, is a series of 16-player matches that actually feed back into the game's main campaign mode. Players score points for every kill they pull off with either Max or Passos, and once they're gunned down, their killer nicks their avatar. ![]() Then, all the other players are tasked with taking them down. The first and second to score a kill become Max Payne and Max's buddy Passos respectively. In the former all the players start off with their selected load-outs. Alongside standard variants such as Team Deathmatch, MP3's online mode contains contests such as Payne Killer and Gang Wars. Max Payne's gritty aesthetic doesn't just govern the multiplayer mode's powers and avatars, it also informs a couple of match types. They can even bet XPs on how they think their teammates and opponents will do in each match. If they're shot by another player more than a couple of times, they get the chance to earn more XPs by starting a Vendetta against them. The player is continually kept in the loop about how often they've been shot and which other players are most responsible for their death. On top of the steady stream of XP rewards and unlockables players are offered, Rockstar has infused the online mode with an extra reason to keep playing – Vendettas. Each Burst has a series of tiers the player can pour their XP into, giving both them and their allies an even greater edge in a firefight. For our money, the most interesting burst is Paranoia, which changes all of the opposing teams avatars into enemy skins and then allows friendly fire. Yes, players are able to reload more quickly and stack ammo, but they also have access to powers like Big Dog, which gives everyone in their team a shot of adrenaline, or Trigger Happy, which briefly arms the player with nastier ordnance. However, Rockstar have gone to some lengths to make their online battleground feel distinctly different to your average multiplayer shooter experience.įor a start, some of the multiplayer Bursts are informed by the game's drug-addled and bruised titular character. The basic setup in Max Payne 3's multiplayer uses the same tropes online combatants have seen before: players choose a load-out of Bursts and weapons, pick a customisable avatar and then head into a map to blast their friends to pieces. They can then use XP to unlock more content including avatar customisation options (tattoos, clothes and accessories), new weapons and attachments, and Bursts – skills that work along the same lines as the Perks in the Call Of Duty series. Players fill their bullet-time meter in the multiplayer by scoring kills, and this also earns them experience points (XP). It also means that if a player suddenly sees the action on their HUD enter bullet time without them triggering it themselves, they're likely to become riddled with bullets unless they execute a dodge-roll or find some cover sharpish. This means that if a player has the drop on a couple of opponents, the mechanic gives them a clear advantage as they'll be able to quickly pour clips of lead into multiple targets. When this happens, the action slows down for all participants. A player can activate the mechanic whenever they choose – provided their meter is full – but other players will only enter bullet time with them if they're caught in the player's line of sight. The way Rockstar has resolved this problem is by attaching the bullet-time feature to the players' eyelines. 1/10/2024 0 Comments Pwsafe cloudOpen Password Safe, and then select a passphrase entry.įor more detailed information about using Password Safe, see the help documentation within the program.Place the cursor in the form's "Username:" field.Open the web site or service to which you need to log in.Passphrase information quickly and easily with a single click, as The Password Safe Autotype feature allows users to enter username and To save the database, click the Save Database toolbarīutton (with an image of a disk), and then choose a location to.Information, see the "Autotype" help topic within Password Safe.

This forum is full of posts from people who bounced their song with the normalize setting turned on in the bounce dialogue and then find their mix is now quieter. The problems from normalizing happen depending on where you use it. There is some use for normalizing a file in the sample Ed, where at least you can control the upper limit of where the highest peak will end up. The limiter will squash the peaks and allow for greater over-all level. It's simply not necessary to do this - that's what a limiter is for. Normalizing doesn't change the sound, it just raises the overall volume of the audio so that the highest peak is now at zero dB, full scale. Don't do any normalizing.Īnd it goes without saying that you should be comparing your ongoing mastering with other commercially released songs while you work. The process of mastering is all you need to get the song up to the level you need. 3 dB of unused headroom on the 16 bit file. Six is fine! And when I master, I generally leave. Certainly, don't do it to your 24 bit bounce, instead leave several dB of headroom. There is almost no need to do this at any stage of the process. I'll do it for some clients (at a great rate) who can't afford a real ME.Īnd a word about normalizing. I'm not a mastering engineer but I have a certain fascination with the process. This is just my home-brewed way of dealing with mastering. Ditto for WB, if I decide any song needs more tweaking at the mastering stage - new bounces done out of the mastering session will update when I re-open WB. I'll give my new mix exactly the same name and when I re-open the mastering session, the song file will automatically update at the same position. This is where that master folder comes in handy. Since I'm also the guy who mixed the song, if there's anything that's not working in the stereo field (too much bass on a side instrument, too narrow stereo field, etc) I'll just go back to the mix and fix it there. I might also set up auxes for some tracks so I can do Mid/Side processing although this is rare. Since each track has it's own set of plugs, that means I can re-adjust different songs as I go along. This allows me to jump around and easily compared the volume, density and tone (highs, lows etc) of each song. After they are imported, I spread them out so they aren't stacked up in the same time space. That way, I don't have to faff around with each song's bounce folder.Īll the songs go into one session. To make all of this easier, I have master bounce folders in the project as a whole, one for the 24 bit files and another for the 16 bit files. sequence, set gap times, (But NO NORMALIZING!!) and burn After everything is well tweaked I bounce each song out as 16 bit files.

Harpy eagles can feed on their kill for several days without falling sick from the rotten carcass. Harpy eagles are able to sucessfully kill sloths most of the time because of their strictly sedentary or unsocial lifestyle.Īrboreal mammals like monkeys which mostly live in groups are able to deter away the raptor and prevent it from carrying away any prey by keenly relying on their numbers as an advantage. Then, they feast on their heads almost immediately before taking the remains back to their nests. They have extremely powerful legs and long, sharp talons designed for stabbing, snatching and firmly gripping on their victims.įor a much larger species of sloths like the two fingered variety, particularly the adult males, harpy eagles prefer to drop them from the safety of the canopy where they reside to the forest floors, in order to inflict serious wounds on them or possibly cause them to perish (highly unlikely). They are capable of espying on objects as small as a dime from about 200 meters away. Often, females are the ones that hunt the larger sized mammals while the much smaller and agile males prey on juveniles and and tiny year olds, usually nothing more than 3 kg in weight.Īs support for this skillful aerial lifting, harpy eagles have an impressive eye sight and excellent sense of hearing they use for pinpointing their prey.

Only 37% of the body mass found at a nest in Guyana were found to be of arboreal monkeys (Izor, 1985). One study showed that juvenile and subadult sloths accounted for two-thirds of the entire body mass consumed at five harpy eagle nests in Parintins, Amazonas state, Brazil. Their name comes from the ancient mythical creatures, the harpies, which are known for their cruel and destructive nature and are depicted as half vulture, half human in mythological literatures.Īs a top predator in the neotropics, harpy eagles feed mainly on arboreal mammals such as monkeys, sloths and porcupines.

The Steam Performance Test (opens in new tab) takes around two minutes and will simulate a VR program to determine your PC's ability to render it fast enough for a quality experience. Steam offers a service that allows you to check if your system will be up to the job of VR. How to find out if your laptop is VR-ready Not all laptops offer up DisplayPort functionality, so it's well worth checking any prospective purchases. The HTC Vive Pro 2, for example, requires a DisplayPort 1.2 connection and a USB 3.0 or newer port and the Oculus Quest 2 needs a spare USB 3.0 as well. However, different VR headsets require different connections to your computer in order to power up and display your content. Portsĭon't forget about your ports! When working out a gaming laptop is VR-ready, many simply consider the internals of the system itself. Of course, if you're looking to buy a new machine you're free to aim much higher, with Intel's 11th and 12th generations and AMD's 5000-series processors offering up more than enough power. ![]() That means the vast majority of gaming laptops bought in the last five years (or since 2014 if you're working with Intel) will be able to handle the processing demands of the latest VR headsets. Processorīoth HTC and Oculus Quest list an Intel i5-4590 / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X as the absolute minimum required specs for their headsets. Any mismatch there, and you'll immediately notice the stuttering, creating an uncomfortable in-game experience. Framerate is particularly important in virtual reality because your machine will need to keep up with displays reaching a 90Hz refresh rate. The graphics card is the most important part of a VR-ready gaming laptop. That's good to know if you're benching your existing system's likely performance, but if you're picking up a new machine we'd recommend putting your money towards a newer spec for overall value. The Oculus Quest 2 is a little more lenient in its GPU recommendations, requiring a minimum of an Nvidia GTX 970 / AMD Radeon 400 Series. You can, however, also get away with an Nvidia RTX 3050, GTX 1660, or GTX 1660Ti (or an AMD RX 5500) card if you're after a cheap gaming laptop that might not break $1,000 / £1,000. In general, RTX 3060 gaming laptop deals will cost the same as the older 20-Series did when it launched. If you're picking up a new machine, though, we'd recommend aiming for the newer RTX 30-Series GPUs so that you're covered against future developments. In general, as long as your graphics card is no older than three or four years, you'll likely be able to run a VR headset nicely. The HTC Vive Pro 2 requires a minimum of an Nvidia GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 480 dedicated graphics card but the recommendations are for at least an RTX 2060 or RX 5700. However, if you've picked up a gaming laptop then there's a strong chance that you've already got enough power under the hood. VR takes some considerable graphical grunt to run smoothly, so a laptop that doesn't have a dedicated graphics card will likely not be able to run a virtual reality headset. You should also be running at least 8GB RAM, but nearly all gaming laptops will be offering this even at a super entry-level. The three main specs you need to check on your machine to be sure it's a VR-ready gaming laptop are graphics card, ports, and processor. 1/10/2024 0 Comments Acrylic tea box organizer![]() The earliest pottery in cultures around the world does not seem to have included flatware, concentrating on pots and jars for storage and cooking.
