Anyone here have Pro Tools experience? Because I'm bored I took a "job" with a high-end recording studio. No singers/musicians have been able to come into the studio for several months now, until today, a recently tested singer has come in. The producer has been using some very clever ways of recording singers remotely, sometimes involving shipping thousands of dollars worth of equipment to remote locations. Nice to seem a bit back to normal. Anyway I'm extremely impressed with Pro Tools, which is of course enhanced with hundreds of available plug-ins. There's so much to learn! Here's a screenshot of today's session:

Timeline of a nuclear explosion in pictures Pictures from several detonations as examples of an atomic explosions anatomy Photographers and reporters gather near Frenchman Flat to observe the Priscilla nuclear test; June 24, 1957 Nuclear Chemistry Behind the Explosion Atomic bombs are made up of a fissile element, such as uranium, that is enriched in the isotope that can sustain a fission nuclear chain reaction. When a free neutron hits the nucleus of a fissile atom like uranium-235 (235U), the uranium splits into two smaller atoms called fission fragments, plus more neutrons. Fission can be self-sustaining because it produces more neutron…

This sky map shows the path that Comet NEOWISE will take across the evening sky in late July and early August. (Image credit: SkySafari app) Comet NEOWISE (aka C/2020 F3) was discovered on March 27 by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission, which used NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope to look for near-Earth objects, like asteroids and comets. The comet made its closest approach to the sun (called perihelion) on July 3. At the time, it swept to within 29.4 million miles (44.1 million kilometers) of the sun, or inside the orbit of Mercury, the innermost planet. Shortly thereafter, the comet blossomed. It did not attain the status …

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A powerful earthquake off Alaska’s southern coast shook sparsely populated coastal communities late Tuesday and prompted some residents to briefly flee to higher ground because of tsunami fears. There were no immediate reports of damage in the Alaska Peninsula and the tsunami warning was canceled after the magnitude 7.8 quake offshore created a wave of a less than a foot (30 centimeters). The earthquake struck Tuesday at 10:12 p.m. local time and was centered in waters 65 miles (105 kilometers) south-southeast of the tiny community of Perryville, at a depth of 17 miles (28 km), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. https://abcnews.go…

Chester Bennington's widow says that she was "completely surprised" by her husband's passing, explaining that she believed Chris Cornell's death only two months earlier would serve as a deterrent against suicide to the LINKIN PARK singer. Chester was found dead on July 20, 2017 — on what would have been the 53rd birthday of his late friend and fellow rocker, SOUNDGARDEN frontman Chris Cornell. After Cornell died in May 2017 as a result of suicide by hanging himself inside his Detroit hotel room, Chester wrote a letter thanking him for inspiring him and hoping he would find peace in "the next life." On Wednesday (January 31), Talinda Bennington …

Over the weekend, Twitter disabled a video retweeted by President Donald Trump following a copyright claim by the band Linkin Park. The video, which Reuters described as "campaign-style," featured music from the band and was originally posted by White House social media director Dan Scavino. According to Reuters, the video was taken down after Twitter received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice from Machine Shop Entertainment — a company started by Linkin Park. Linkin Park made a statement on Twitter, saying, "Linkin Park did not and does not endorse Trump, nor authorize his organization to use any of our music. A cease and desist has been issued." …

This lease deal is hilariously beneficial for Tesla. You pay them $4500 for the privilege to pay $500 a month to drive the car. Then you will turn it back over to them, so they can use it in their fleet to earn extremely high margin revenue for Tesla. Alternatively - you buy on loan, and use it in the robofleet to earn you money... Plus, $512/mo with $4500 down and only 10k miles a year is ludicrous. That price doesn't include the 1125 destination fee, 75 doc fee, local registration costs, or sales tax. For me that adds another 2k, plus 45/ month sales tax. I'm a believer in leasing for some business owners at times……
