![]() However, even if you have chosen one of the different pitch quantization grids and the root notes, you can still activate or deactivate the keys on the piano keyboard manually by clicking on them. The plug-in will not use these notes to tune the vocal pitch. ![]() If you know what key your song is recorded in, it’ll be easy to choose, and the notes that are absent from the scale will be automatically shadowed on the piano keyboard. You can choose the major scale, the needed type of minor scale, pentatonic, or any other, there are plenty of options for musicians here. The plug-in allows you to choose the key of the song using drop-down menus. The reference pitch is set in cents (ct), which shows how many percent it’s sharp or flat compared to the tuning of the project. In this case, to correct the instrument or vocal generally, before auto-tuning is applied, you can determine the reference pitch parameter. For example, the singer may sing all the notes a little flat compared to the standard. This can happen when a vocal part or an instrument you are working with is tuned to a reference frequency that’s slightly different from your project’s global tuning. However, in some cases, you might want to switch the global tuning off. Global tuning means that all the instruments and vocals in the project are in tune with each other. It’s how it usually is, and in this case, engineers would keep global tuning on, and the reference pitch wouldn’t be changed. Only if the melody you are tuning plays mainly in the bass then set this parameter to Low. If the vocal or instrument you are working with is in the middle or high-frequency range, set the Range to Normal. Let’s walk through the plugin’s settings and learn how it works. The functions are similar to those of the Antares Auto-Tune, but Pitch Correction is simpler. You can find it among Logic Pro plug-ins in the Pitch group. Pitch Correction stock plug-in in Logic Pro X So, keep reading, and you’ll learn how to tune vocals like a pro using only Logic Pro X. You’ll be able to achieve the T-Pain effect if necessary, or apply the correction more gently and let the sound remain natural. This allows for manual Melodyne-like editing.Ĭombining the functionality of these two, you’ll have a pretty good set of tools for tuning vocals and monophonic instruments. And the second is a built-in feature called Flex Pitch.It will help you tune the vocal track automatically. First is the stock plug-in, which is called Pitch Correction.There are two main tools that you will be using for tuning vocal tracks in Logic: How to do pitch correction in Logic Pro X If you are using Logic Pro X and don’t have Antares Auto-Tune yet, no problem, you can use a combination of stock plug-ins and built-in features of Logic Pro X for both automatic and manual correction. ![]() While listening to other songs, you can’t hear autotune at all, but it’s probably there, done gently to retain all the qualities of natural human singing.Īuto-Tune has become an integral part of professional vocal mixing, so if you are producing songs, you’ll need to know how to tune vocals. Some songs are produced in such a way that you can hear the famous robotic voice in the audio file, called the T-Pain effect. Pitch correction, both automatic and manual, is used for vocal performance editing in almost all genres, not only hip-hop, rap, EDM, and pop songs. Why do you need a pitch correction plug-in? In this article, we’ll tell you how to successfully auto-tune a vocal track using only Logic Pro X and its stock plugin. Although Auto-Tune, made by Antares Audio Technologies, is the most famous and professional software for doing pitch correction, there are also a handful of other popular apps you can use for tuning recordings, especially vocals. ![]() We can’t imagine music production today without Auto-Tune.

![]() The station was inundated by at least 10 seismic sea waves which reached a maximum height of 25 feet above post-earthquake mean lower low water between 11:16 and 11:34 p.m. The Kodiak Naval Station, 5 miles southwest of Kodiak, was also severely damaged by the earthquake. The ground motion, however, did cause a massive short circuit and power failure at Kodiak. Inasmuch as most of Kodiak is underlain by bedrock or by only a thin veneer of unconsolidated sediments, very little if any damage occurred from ground motion or seismic shaking. Seismic shaking lasted 4½–5½ minutes at Kodiak and had a rolling motion. The subsidence also accelerated erosion of the unconsolidated sediments along the shoreline in the city of Kodiak. This bedrock presented a major post-earthquake construction problem because no sediments remained into which piles could be driven for foundations of waterfront facilities.īecause of tectonic subsidence, high tides now flood Mission and Potatopatch Lakes which, before the earthquake, had not been subject to tidal action. The waves scoured out 10 feet of sediments in the channel between Kodiak Island and Near Island and exposed bedrock. The violently destructive seismic sea waves not only severely damaged homes, shops, and naval-station structures but also temporarily crippled the fishing industry in Kodiak by destroying the processing plants and most of the fishing vessels. They moved from the southwest and northeast: and reached their maximum height of 20–30 feet above mean lower low water at Shahafka Cove between 11:00 and 11:45 p.m., March 27. The waves struck the town during the evening hours of March 27 and early morning hours of March 28. The seismic sea waves destroyed all but one of the docking facilities and more than 215 structures many other structures were severely damaged. Damage was caused chiefly by 5.6 feet of tectonic subsidence and a train of 10 seismic sea waves that inundated the low-lying areas of the town. The largest community, Kodiak, had the greatest loss from the earthquake. Property damage and loss of income to the communities is estimated at more than $45 million. It was the most severe earthquake to strike this part of Alaska in modern time, and took the lives of 18 persons in the area by drowning this includes two in Kodiak and three at Kaguyak. In 1912, a series of M7+ earthquakes was associated with the Novarupta eruption, which was the world’s largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.The great earthquake (Richter magnitude of 8.4–8.5) that struck south-central Alaska at 5:36 p.m., Alaska standard time, on Ma(03:36, March 28, Greenwich mean time), was felt in every community on Kodiak Island and the nearby islands. (3) Crustal seismicity in this region can be attributed to the Kodiak Shelf fault zone and the volcanic arc. ![]() Both earthquakes caused damage and disruption in the town of Kodiak and other communities on the island. The most notable examples of such earthquakes are the M7.0 events in 1999 and M6.9 on Kodiak Island in 2001. The Aleutian-Alaska-Wadati-Benioff Zone produces thousands of earthquakes each year, most of which are too deep and small to be felt. In the Alaska Peninsula region, seismicity decreases at a depth of about 150 miles (241 km), reflecting the downdip extension of the Pacific Plate. This zone extends along the Aleutian Arc, the Alaska Peninsula and Cook Inlet. (2) Intermediate depth seismicity (below 20 miles/32 km) occurs in the Wadati-Benioff Zone, where the subducting Pacific Plate is sinking toward the mantle beneath the North American Plate. ![]() While these recent earthquakes did not produce damaging tsunamis, previous tsunamis have been documented in historical records of Russian communities and in recently discovered paleo-tsunami deposits. Recent examples include the M7.8 Simeonof earthquake in 2020 beneath the Shumagin Islands and the M8.2 Chignik earthquake in 2021 southwest of Kodiak Island. Seismicity in the Alaska Peninsula region is caused by several tectonic features: (1) The Aleutian Megathrust is the source of the strongest earthquakes in the region.

In the final quarter of this year, one of Rocket Lab’s photon satellites is scheduled to embark on a journey to the moon. “When we arrived at the point where we thought we could build a spacecraft that could go and do independent science, we decided it was time to venture out into the solar system.” “I’m strangely attracted to the most difficult things,” Beck said. The company’s first interplanetary mission is slated to launch later this year, and that’s only the beginning. Deep space ambitionsīeck says that Rocket Lab is headed to deep space. ![]() He decided to seize the opportunity to begin developing a small launch vehicle, and the Electron was born.Īnd as the company has grown, so have Beck’s ambitions. Electron now has 21 flights under its belt and is one of the most-flown rockets īefore Electron got off the ground, Beck took a rocket pilgrimage to the US to visit all the places he had dreamt about working at – NASA, US defence contractors, etc – and noticed one thing: satellites were getting smaller and smaller, but launchers weren’t downsizing in tandem. To date, the company has 21 launches under its belt, making Electron one of the most-launched rockets in the world. It took approximately four years for the first Electron to make it to the launch pad. The way Beck describes it, raw materials come in, and rockets go out. Much like SpaceX, Rocket Lab builds everything in-house. “So, I think this is the most exciting time in space exploration and I’m happy to be a part of it.” Rise of Electronīeck founded Rocket Lab in 2006 in New Zealand, but it wasn’t until 2013, when the company moved its headquarters to California, that he began to work on its first launcher: the Electron. “I think 10-year-old me would struggle to believe what’s occurred,” he said. Growing up, he says he faced plenty of dream crushers who told him it simply wasn’t realistic for a kid from New Zealand to pursue space-based ambitions. “But, really, now is the time to be alive in the space industry.” ![]() “I was always frustrated that I wasn’t born during the Apollo era, because it’s easy to look at that time period and think that was the time to be in the space industry,” Beck told Al Jazeera. And Rocket Lab is proud to play a role in the burgeoning commercial space industry, he says. The 1960s is always thought of as the golden age of space exploration, but Beck would argue that that time is now. But he is living out his dream and his company is preparing to send a tiny satellite to the moon later this year. Often compared to Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, Beck was born in New Zealand - a country without a space programme.

That V2 version will shortly include a new automatic calibration feature that’ll also soon be coming to the Zwift Hub, to aid in better automatic calibration. Note that concurrently though, JetBlack announced a V2 version of the VOLT. However, since the Zwift announcement, JetBlack has dropped the price of the existing VOLT to match that of the Zwift Hub (i.e., $499 in the US). The JetBlack VOLT, when sold with JetBlack branding was $849USD, or 749EUR (though, it went for about 700EUR street price, including an 11-speed cassette). Just for context, these specs are very similar to the Wahoo KICKR CORE, which costs $899 without a cassette (figure another $50 for that). Meaning, if you can’t find stock of the 12sp version, and you don’t mind buying your own 12sp cassette, you can buy a different version (e.g. Note that the unit is the same regardless of which cassette is attached. – Pricing and Availability: $499USD, £449, 499EUR – Power Cable Required: Yes, power block compatible with 100-240v ![]() – Max Wattage: 1,800 watts resistance (or 1,300w 40KPH) – Skewer Compatibility: All the skewers and adapters you could ask for: Road 130mm, 135mm, 142x12mm, 148x12mm – App Compatibility: Every app out there basically (Zwift, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, RGT, The Sufferfest, Kinomap, etc…) – Unique Party Trick: Can rebroadcast your heart rate sensor within a single channel, ideal for Apple TV Zwift users (who are Bluetooth channel limited) – Protocol Compatibility: ANT+ FE-C, ANT+ Power, Bluetooth Smart Trainer Control, Bluetooth Smart Power (everything you need) – Handle: This unit lacks a handle, which continues to make it slightly awkward to move around Only the sound of your drivetrain is heard Which is then officially compatible with Shimano and SRAM drivetrains (unofficially, 11sp Campagnolo will also work on Shimano cassettes, just as many users do so today on JetBlack and other trainers) – Cassette: A cassette is included, and you choose how many speeds (8/9/10/11/12) upon ordering on Zwift’s site. ![]() – Flywheel: It has a flywheel weight of 4.7kg – Direct drive trainer: This means you remove your rear wheel With that – let’s begin! The Specs:įirst, just a quick run through the top-line specs, which are identical to the JetBlack Volt V2 because it’s the same hardware (something Zwift confirmed as well, there are no changes here): If you found this review useful, consider becoming a DCR Supporter – which gets you behind-the-scenes videos and generally makes you awesome. That new unit also includes the final firmware implemented to address some earlier accuracy issues I had (and it includes a different factory calibration process, which is why they sent new hardware just to be sure).īoth of these will go back to them once I’ve finished up here, as usual. That was then replaced with a different unit in mid-September, which I’ve used since. The first back in August/Early September, which I wrote my initial hands-on piece about. With that out of the way, I’ve been testing two different Zwift Hub media loaner units. Keep in mind, Zwift isn’t selling this through retail channels, so they don’t have to account for a retail markup. I don’t doubt that, looking at OEM costs elsewhere, the pricing lines up. ![]() Further, while Zwift’s goal with this trainer is heavily focused on attracting new subscribers and recurring revenue to the platform, the company says it’s not selling this trainer for a loss – but is in fact making a small profit. It follows all of the ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart trainer/power standards, and works with any platform out there (for example, I’ve used it with TrainerRoad just fine). While we’ll get to all the nitty-gritty details in this review, it’s notable that this trainer isn’t limited to Zwift. However, Zwift has doubled down on this with a revamped setup ‘experience’ that aims to make it easy to get up and running, even if you know almost nothing about bike parts. Most trainers with these specs tend to float in the $799-$999 price ballpark, thus making this potentially one of the best deals in the smart trainer world. Announced about a month ago, this ‘new’ smart trainer is essentially a repackaged JetBlack VOLT V2 trainer, but at a substantially lower price point than virtually every other direct drive trainer: $499. Today Zwift starts selling their first smart trainer, the Zwift Hub. ![]() Stallard applied for time at the Keck Observatory, a pair of 300-ton telescopes sitting atop the 13,800-foot-high peak of Hawai‘i’s Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano. The fated-to-die probe, they thought, could provide those contemporaneous atmospheric observations on the final arc of its journey. Stallard and his colleagues reasoned that if Saturn’s multiple radio lighthouses could be explained by something weird happening in the upper atmosphere, they would need to pick a radio lighthouse, track its behavior, and then compare that with matching observations of its atmosphere, hoping to see a sign that the two were interlocked in a strange dance. During the probe’s final months, there was a very narrow window of opportunity. When it burned up in the Saturnian skies on September 15, 2017, the last great hope of cracking the case appeared poised to vanish with it.Įxcept-hope wasn’t entirely lost. In the summer of 2017, with its rocket propellant almost entirely spent, Cassini was ordered to plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere so as not to risk crashing into and contaminating one of its potentially life-harboring moons. That year, scientists decoded these undulations, revealing, finally, the length of a day on Saturn: 10 hours, 33 minutes, and 38 seconds.īut the mystery of the origins of Saturn’s many radio lighthouses remained frustratingly unsolved. This tugs at the icy particles within Saturn’s rings, creating fine ripples and waves. Whenever the planet’s concealed innards twitch, convulse, and rotate, the planet’s gravity field shifts. But in 2019, planetary scientists had an epiphany while examining another of the gas giant’s features: its rings. Resolving this riddle seemed necessary if scientists wanted to determine the length of a Saturnian day. “To my knowledge, first time an aurora driven by atmospheric winds has been detected,” says Rosie Johnson, a space physics researcher at Aberystwyth University in Wales who is not involved with the study. But some of its auroras only make an appearance when screaming winds shoot across the north pole-a bit like a gust of air stirring up a cosmic bonfire. Like Earth’s, Saturn’s northern lights are fueled by a shower of energized particles from the heavens. Now, as revealed by a recent study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, scientists have discovered an aurora on that ringed world that is unlike any other. They exist on other worlds with magnetic fields, including Saturn, whose auroral glow shimmers in the infrared and ultraviolet. But Earth doesn’t hold a monopoly on auroras. Earth’s northern and southern lights-the result of a rendezvous between magnetic fields, energized particles from the Sun, and our planet’s atmospheric admixture-are wondrous spectacles. |
