It features time code, tempo maps, elastic audio, and automation supports mixing in surround sound, Dolby Atmos and VR sound using Ambisonics. Pro Tools has incorporated video editing capabilities, so users can import and manipulate high-definition video file formats such as XDCAM, MJPG-A, PhotoJPG, DV25, QuickTime, and more. The legacy SDII format was dropped with Pro Tools 10, although SDII conversion is still possible on macOS. ![]() It imports and exports MOV video files and ADM BWF files (audio files with Dolby Atmos metadata) it also imports MXF, ACID and REX files and the lossy formats MP3, AAC, M4A, and audio from video files ( MOV, MP4, M4V). Pro Tools supports mixed bit depths and audio formats in a session: BWF/ WAV (including WAVE Extensible, RF64 and BW64) and AIFF. 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit float audio bit depths at sample rates up to 192 kHz are supported. Audio effects, virtual instruments, and hardware emulators-such as microphone preamps or guitar amplifiers-can be added, adjusted, and processed in real-time in a virtual mixer. Like all digital audio workstation software, Pro Tools can perform the functions of a multitrack tape recorder and a mixing console along with additional features that can only be performed in the digital domain, such as non-linear and non-destructive editing (most of audio handling is done without overwriting the source files), track compositing with multiple playlists, time compression and expansion, pitch shifting, and faster-than-real-time mixdown.Īudio, MIDI, and video tracks are graphically represented on a timeline. The DSP is used to provide additional processing power to the host computer for processing real-time effects, such as reverb, equalization, and compression and to obtain lower latency audio performance. Pro Tools operates both as standalone software and in conjunction with a range of external analog-to-digital converters and PCIe cards with on-board digital signal processors (DSP). It is used for music creation and production, sound for picture ( sound design, audio post-production and mixing) and, more generally, sound recording, editing, and mastering processes. Pro Tools is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed and released by Avid Technology (formerly Digidesign) for Microsoft Windows and macOS.

Ian restrengthened slightly once offshore, then initiated an eyewall replacement cycle causing its wind speed to remain steady at 120 mph (195 km/h) for about 12 hours. Ian weakened to a low-end major hurricane with 115 mph (185 km/h) winds as it emerged off the coast of Cuba and into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico around 14:00 UTC. At approximately 08:30 UTC on September 27, Ian made landfall on western Cuba as a high-end Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h) and a pressure of 947 mbar (27.96 inHg), becoming the strongest tropical cyclone to impact Pinar del Río Province since Hurricane Gustav in 2008. Ian became a hurricane 12 hours later and a major hurricane after another 24 hours. Moderate-to-strong vertical wind shear hindered development of Ian until late the following day it began rapidly intensifying at 18:00 UTC September 25. ![]() Hurricane Ian viewed by the Expedition 67 crew on board the International Space Station on September 28īy 00:00 UTC on September 24, the depression's wind speed had increased to 40 mph (64 km/h), at which time it became Tropical Storm Ian. Sanibel Island, Fort Myers Beach, and Pine Island bore the brunt of Ian's powerful winds and its accompanying storm surge at landfall, which leveled nearly all standing structures and collapsed the Sanibel Causeway and the Matlacha bridge to Pine Island, entrapping those left on the islands for several days. The cities of Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Naples were particularly hard hit, leaving millions without power in the storm's wake and numerous inhabitants forced to take refuge on their roofs. Much of the damage was from flooding brought about by a storm surge of 10–15 ft (3.0–4.6 m). Ian caused catastrophic damage with losses estimated to be ~$113 billion. Hurricane Ian caused 161 fatalities: 5 in Cuba, 150 in Florida, 5 in North Carolina, and 1 in Virginia. Ian became extratropical shortly after landfall and became fully dissipated by early the next day. There it again increased to hurricane strength before making its final landfall in South Carolina on September 30. After moving inland, Ian rapidly weakened to a tropical storm before moving back offshore into the Atlantic. It has tied with several other storms becoming the 5th-strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in the contiguous United States. It peaked as a Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h) early on September 28, while progressing towards the west coast of Florida, and made landfall just below peak intensity in Southwest Florida on Cayo Costa Island. Ian lost a minimal amount of strength while over land and soon re-strengthened while over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. Heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding across Cuba resulting in a nationwide power outage. Rapidly intensifying into a high-end Category 3 hurricane, Ian made landfall in western Cuba. It became a tropical depression on the morning of September 23 and strengthened into Tropical Storm Ian early the next day while it was southeast of Jamaica. The wave moved into the Caribbean Sea on September 21 bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to Trinidad and Tobago, the ABC islands, and the northern coast of South America. Ian originated from a tropical wave that moved off the coast of Western Africa and across the central tropical Atlantic towards the Windward Islands. Ian was the strongest hurricane to hit Florida since Michael in 2018, the first Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic since Lorenzo in 2019, and the fifth since 2016 to reach that strength before making landfall in the U.S. It was the ninth named storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. Ian caused widespread damage across western Cuba and catastrophic damage in Florida it also caused damage in the Carolinas. Hurricane Ian was a powerful Category 5 Atlantic hurricane which was the third-costliest weather disaster on record, and the deadliest hurricane to strike the state of Florida since the 1935 Labor Day hurricane.

While Chrysler was unmoved by this unexpected new rival, GM designed their own two-door car-based truck. Practical and nice to drive, it sold 21,706 units. Adapted from a two-door station wagon, the 1957 Ford Ranchero established a new market segment. ![]() However, the 1955 Chevrolet Cameo Carrier pickup truck was a forerunner of the El Camino, featuring passenger car styling, luxurious interior and optional V8 engine.įord, Dodge, and Studebaker offered flush-side cargo boxes on several 1957 pickup trucks before the coupe utility body style appeared in America. GM Australia produced a Chevrolet coupe utility in 1935, before Studebaker’s 1937-39 Coupe Express and Holden’s 1951 sedan-based model.Īutomotive designer and GM executive Harley Earl proposed the coupe pickup concept in 1952. The improving economy led to a preference for comfort. A coupe utility with a fixed roof was developed by Ford designer, Lew Bandt, for an Australian farmer in 1932/4. The 1920s American roadster utility or ‘roadster pickup’ was the first two-door vehicle based on a passenger car that incorporated a rear cargo tray. This is our comprehensive review of the Chevrolet El Camino.

![]() ![]() ![]() For the purposes of this cross-section of remarkable and obscure cd cover art we have chosen to ignore the musical genius of the albums in favor of showcasing brilliant cover art. While we may love the familiar cover art of some classic favourites because we love the bands and the music, a critical look at the cover art can often be a disappointment. It must be noted that a collection of this nature is never complete, and the value of art is very personal and subjective. Mainstream marketing is rarely this attractive, and the wide variety of beautiful CD cover art makes browsing CDs an enjoyable experience that reaches far beyond the music. Captivating or iconic cover art can make a band instantly recognizable, which increases sales, which in turn boosts airplay and subsequently demand for the music. This type of cover art can make a big difference when a little-known band releases an album. The CD cover art designs and concepts featured in this showcase present dramatic, quirky, unusual or unique artwork. The most striking designs are those that capture both a buyer’s attention and the essense of the music. Thankfully, others are much more creative and work to create a cover image that reflects the mood, attitude or feel of the music it promotes. Some CD covers feature heavily edited and airbrushed vanity photos of the musicians or recording artists. The creation of CD cover art is an intergral part of this process. While recording artists and bands are busy recording their albums, a separate effort is usually being made behind the scenes to plan for the launch, promotion and circulation of the new tracks. ![]() ![]() As to her speech at the MTV awards, she says she got into this line of work to say whatever it is she wanted to say, and that’s what she’s gonna do. ![]() ![]() Listening to her spar with Howard Stern in 1997, you want to root for her not just because she’s getting bullied by a guy more than twice her age, but because she’s brave enough to fight back. Mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound. Mixed at Brooklyn Recording Studio, Los Angeles assisted by Tom Banghart. But for all its finesse, the lingering mood of Tidal is bitter and resolute: She’s going to bare her heart no matter how much it hurts. Piano Fiona Apple ( tracks: 1 to 3, 5 to 9) Producer Andrew Slater Recorded By Mark Endert Vocals, Written-By Fiona Apple Notes Recorded at Sony Music Studios, Ocean Way Recorders, 4th Street Recording, Los Angeles. She’d grown up with classical piano and jazz standards-worlds where technical proficiency can often outweigh raw feeling. While Billie Holiday-a childhood influence-transformed her pain with laughter, Apple wields hers like a blade: Discreet, but it’ll cut you. If she takes pride in her powers of seduction, it’s only because it’s one of the few she’s allowed to exercise (“Criminal”). She sounds older than she is (“Shadowboxer”), but points out that sexual abuse has a way of making you grow up fast (“The Child Is Gone”). A rap fan who’s said the only album she bought in 1997 was Wu-Tang Forever, Apple knows how to make herself ten feet tall (“Sleep to Dream”) while also expressing how small society has made her feel (“Sullen Girl”). And for them, it is serious.Īt the time, albums like Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill and No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom (and events like the all-female Lilith Fair tour) had brought a feminist edge to the mainstream. I listened to Fiona Apples Tidal for the first time in a hospital bed. Everyone knows entertainment is bullshit-why take it so seriously? Apple holds her ground: Maybe middle-aged guys like you know that, she says, but middle-aged guys aren’t taking cues from MTV on how to look and act-teenage girls are. What’s the problem, Stern asks her: You’re young, you’re pretty, your first album-1996’s Tidal-is selling like crazy, and yet, you’re still angry. ![]() A few days after accepting her Best New Artist award at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards by calling the entertainment industry “bullshit,” a then 19-year-old Fiona Apple sat for an interview with the shock-radio personality Howard Stern. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Active Neighborhoods and Schools: out of 45 points.Safe Routes to School Funding and Supportive Practices: out of 40 points.Federal and State Active Transportation Funding: out of 75 points.Complete Streets and Active Transportation: out of 40 points.received an overall score of out of a possible 200 points, putting it in the category Here’s how is doing when it comes to supporting walking, biking, and physical activity: The report cards were generated by evaluating each state across a total of 27 indicator areas spanning four core topic areas: Complete Streets and Active Transportation Policy and Planning, Federal and State Active Transportation Funding, Safe Routes to School Funding and Supportive Practices, and Active Neighborhoods and Schools.
