PHOTOSHOP - Automatically Export Multiple Versions of a Single File
Просмотров 4,8 тыс.5 лет назад
Photoshop has a neat feature that once setup, automatically exports multiple different versions of a file whenever a change is made. What makes this neat is the fact that you can specify one or more output file types, dimensions and quality settings, thus eliminating the need for you to preform this manually each time you make a change. Neater still, this auto export is done in the background, ...

I recently updated a bunch of Wordpress sites that I manage to support SSL. In this video I share the process I used to achieve this as there are several steps involved and it can be a bit overwhelming if you don't know where to start. I did this on Dreamhost which I recently moved all my sites to due to the fact that they make it easy to use free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates and provide a we...

How I Reduced Server Response Time By Switching to DreamHost
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.5 лет назад
As a long-time Host Gator customer who manages about a dozen word press blogs and other sites through their service, I always found it frustrating that the server response time (the time it takes for a page to load for users) was painfully long (over 4.9 seconds for some pages and as much as 40 or more seconds for others). This not only provides an extremely negative experience for visitors, bu...

Windows 10 Fingerprint Reader Setup

Setting-up a fingerprint reader with Windows Hello is surprisingly quick and simple to do and makes logging into a secure computer effortless. Although you can also use a web cam and have Windows log you in with facial recognition, I am not a fan of my camera being uncovered and staring at me all the time. For me, a fingerprint reader is not only practical, but less intrusive. In this video I s...

I know it’s a decade too late, but the MiCon-2 adapter works with stereo 3.5mm inputs, so you won’t get audio exclusively in the left channel.

I Love LEGO Harry Potter sets
who woulda thought a 9 year old video would be so helpful. like I'm not even a parent, I'm only 17, just chat annoyed me so much lmao
I am new to this voice processing stuff... I just purchased a DBX and this info will help me out. Thank you!
My dog is 150 lb and a heck of a puller he's went through pulleys left and right so I am a little bit of a thinker on it
Should have took that in fold it as tight as you could mark it get down on the ground disconnected from the other end and go ahead and do that end while you're down on the ground you have it marked it'll be easier to put the cable clamps on while it's on the ground then hook that end up and then bring your tensioner in back and start screwing it in
Is there a version of this product which doesn't require screwing an anchor bolt into a tree?
tell the soundguy the boom is in the shot.
Thank you!! it was very helpful
thank you :)
I have the mk1 is there a difference
Thanks.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DANCE, THEN THE FLOOR IS CROOKED: AT897 was designed for Sydney World Cup 1994. Surely, it has a positive point. Otherwise it will not get into World Cup Show. All preamps creates some noise when you increase level higher. You must know how to solve this problem. There are many controls before sound reaches to the recorder. Starting from mic itself, +/-dB control, low cut, gain control in mixer, compressor, EQ, channel main control, PAD, ducking control, low cut, master control, limiter, etc. You must be able to identify the fault immediately. In one of a live program recording I lost 168 second sound due to my own mistake. Crispy sound, noisy sound, rubble sound: all are in the hand of the operator. You know well, most mics are good; you don't know well, none of the mic is good for your. If you want problem free recording buy a Zoom Recorder. Just set the limiter and go. All fine
"I'm lazy & I don't want to post-process audio ever if I can avoid it". This! Thanks for the review especially when you showed the room was not even treated.
Omg I’ve been adding water to the back tank instead of dumping it out. Eew glad I watched this. Moved from Alaska to NJ and the water here is beyond disgusting. We have a whole house filter and still the PPM are around 400! Aquatru brings it to 50’s.
All of the hooks you showed utilize the slots. Do they offer accessories that can make use of the holes?
What happened to the test?
The DBX 286S has an EIN of -125dB. It’s only a good value used for the preamplification, if the input you connect it to has no preamp and no phantom power. If the input you use it on has both, getting a sE Electronics DM-1 or the Cloud Microphones CL-1 is a better value, just for being lower noise, with an EIN of -129 dB and even below. But nobody would buy this thing as a mere preamplifier anyways. Nice review and demo about this device!
I use steel rope often and what helps me is to wrap the cable around the thimble and secure it with a zip tie or tape if that's all you have, something to act as a 3rd hand and hold the cable in place while I screw down the clamps. I also have all the lock nuts in my top pocket so I can drop them into the nut driver and get those clamps on quickly and properly. I'm building a modified version of this type of run today
Great video ~ I will buy some ha-ha
Omfg, lmao: Got a Canvas buckle belt for Christmas. On my break at work, trying to loosen my belt because it's on too tight. Watch video after video, trying to find my exact belt, while having trouble breathing. Halfway through this video I managed to get it off by bashing at it with my car keys. Goddammit!
I'm not sure you can still buy it with the game controller in the same box.
Is there a video of the super heavy duty dog run? I have a dogue de bordeaux and he will weigh around 180 pounds and want to make sure that this would hold up.
Have used it for several seasons
Great
Good Job
why not going directly to the focusrite with the xlr???
Love this idea. I use 3” dia pvc and cut to 4” long. With a block of wood on top I tap one flush with the top. It works nice
How can I connect it to a karaoke device so I can sing the songs I love?, thnx 🌹
Fluoride is not good for the teeth bro, it's soap bro, it's actually really bad
Extremely useful stuff! After clicking that export button so many times I just had to find something to speed up the process. Thank you for sharing this!
Hi, The Mad Hermit. Your RUclips video was brilliant and it explains everything about Windows 10 Fingerprint USB Reader... Thank You.
is there a way to use just the Focusrite for the audio processing ? (removing the background noise)
Just do the loop before setting it up and use a Carabiner
this is pretty much what i have been doing with software using a vst host and a chain of plugins but im getting sick of trying to fiddle with that all of the time especially since im trying to switch from windows to linux. this is the exact kind of thing i am looking for i think.
The Mad Hermit I have a question do i need to download any website for leting the Shure SM7B XLR Microphone working on my computer ?
The Shure SM7B is an XLR mic and will not connect directly to your computer. You will have to use an audio interface. In my case, I am using a Focusrite. Depending on your audio interface you may need to download drivers from their website.
Did you use the screenbar for the longtime? I ask because we are using a similar laptop (I'm on the Yoga Slim 7) and it is impossible to use this lamp on a laptop with such a thin bezle. This lamp causes unwanted pressure on the display and leave ripple marks. What is your opinion? How long and how often do you use the lamp? Greetings.
I don't use my laptop often enough. My desktop PC is my primary driver. With that said, I never ran into any problems using the screen bar despite having a narrow bezel. If you are seeing ripple marks on your screen and feel that the lamp weight and contact points are the cause I would not use it.
Can you go xlr out to trs in and it will bypass the preamp on the Focusrite
My son wants these all over his room, do you have any good ideas where to put them?
Solid review brother 🙏🏿🙏🏿

Question i can only get 930 download and 320 meg upload . How do i get higher upload when my speed is 940/940 for my internet plan.
is it possible to log in websites using this device? if so, how? or it just to log into windows?
Nice👏😊
Thanks 😊
Can someone help me? I use a laptop. I have a Shure SM7B, Scarlett 2i2, Cloudlifter, and DBX 286s. The Expander gate works amazing. There is a major problem though. My laptop fan is super loud and it is right in front of me, so it my mic will not filiter out the fan no matter what I set the Expander gate to. This means that whenever I talk, the fan is just there whenever I talk. It is very hearable. Please help.
Thanks a lot for this very clever idea. I however did modify your witty set-up to suit what I already owe : several Andoer base plates to fit on a light Manfrotto tripod and Ronin SCI2 and a Benro Turtoise tripod with a S4Pro video head. As this latter one as a long 501PL plate which doesn't fit in the Ronin, I fitted the Benro long plate and screwed it tight on the tripod and screwed the Andoer Quick release plate on it, keeping my ordinary Ronin plate (of small size) on Lumix S5 and it works like a charm ! Thousand thanks to you ! You made my day and saved me hours (already spent quite a few) trying to find an alternative.
I wanna get this mic to use it for gaming but I have no idea what im doing or what I need to buy to make this work.
Holy Shit i just wanna plug my mic in and use it. Why do I have to pay hundrets of dollars *additionally* to the 400$ sm7b.
Get a USB mic. They pretty much work exactly the way you want them to.
