Color muse home depot12/30/2023 ![]() Save you from having to cut out a piece of drywall and patching just to have their color matched.Save you the time of flipping through a fan deck to get close to a color.Steer someone away from that off-brand color that they picked up at Home Depot: Essentially scan the color that they chose and match it with a brand that you'd prefer so you aren't having that Behr color matched at SW or BM. ![]() Get you close enough that a reasonable person would accept the color it chose.IMO, there's a few ways to use this tool. Color Match Made Easy Connect to your Color Muse, Color Muse SE, or Color Muse 2 color matching tools (sold separately) for easy, on-the-spot color. Where I used Benjamin Moore's Aura in a Benjamin Moore color, and the tool wasn't able to tell me the correct color. For example, I used the Benjamin Moore Color Tool in my home. The tool provides you with that manufacturer's closets color. They only have THEIR fan decks programmed into the tool. You can also use it as a crutch, when a customer is asking for the walls to match you can say this is what the 'instrument' is telling me if the color just isn't exact in your opinion.Īll of the manufacturer's color tools are worthless IMO. ColorSnap ® Match Pro eliminates the guesswork in paint matching by allowing you to instantly find the closest Sherwin-Williams paint color and sheen with the click of a button. Introducing the Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap ® Match Pro. I would then you use the fan deck to verify the color match. Sherwin-Williams has a new tool to streamline paint and sheen matching. I use the Color Muse in multiple areas on the same wall to attempt to find the 1st color on the list. The case contains the following: Sherwin Williams, PPG's Voice of Color, Benjamin Moore's Collections, BM - Classics, BM-Color Preview, Valspar, Clark & Kensington, & Coronado.

MainStage 3 for iphone instal12/30/2023 ![]() Mainly using the IPad as a mixing console via "Universal Control" for the 24R though.(and the Surface Pro too even while it's running Cantabile).I have everything I need and far beyond without adding the IPad as a sound source. It works great with absolutely no detectable latency to my ears using Korg Module. I have an IPad Air with USB C so the connection couldn't be easier. Would be nice if there was a way to disable the USB Audio part of that connection on the YC.Īlso now have a Numa X and have been experimenting adding an IPad to that. Also, I'm routing from the five pin MIDI out of the YC to the Surface Pro with a cord that converts the five pin to USB otherwise you get the "digital hum" from having two USB Audio sources hooked up to the same sound source which is what happened when I tried using the USB Audio/MIDI out. You can't use the YC USB audio for that because it's only two channels. Cantabile allows you to sort out that kind of multi-channel routing. Have to do this because we are playing "Hungry Like the Wolf" and I have the popcorn synth arpeggio loaded into Cantabile as an MP3 together with an attached click track and starting cues routed to the drummer's in-ears. Right now, I'm not using the YC USB Audio, but instead I'm using a digital channel on the Presonus 24R (the band's mixer) for sounds from the Surface Pro. It's totally seamless once it's set up (which takes some work and creativity.). Cantabile can do unbelievable things.but I set it up extremely simply with one "song" containing all the VST's I need for a set list loaded into that one song with different MIDI channels assigned from my YC 61 depending on the Live Set. Using a Surface Pro with Cantabile running mainly Arturia VST's. For those already in the Mac world it might be a tougher sell though. If I already had a Surface Pro and was using it for my day-to-day computing, then decided to add what was needed to make it a music machine, that would probably be a no-brainer as well I would be on that machine for sure. Of course the fact I'm already in the Apple ecosystem is a plus - I've had many a chart airdropped to me on gigs. I've never bought a laptop specifically to make music with – can't afford to! But $260 to have a machine fully capable of handling my most demanding virtual instrument setup along with chart reading? That was pretty much a no-brainer. I have no doubt the SP is a spectacular machine for music production - then again it should be great at most kinds of computing one would do with a laptop, which is beyond the scope of any iPad (at the moment). ![]() I got my iPad 9G on a Best Buy special that looks to be no longer in effect, paying $260 for it this past December. That's actually the cheapest current SP I saw the one with an i7 and 32GB of ram is almost $2400. Welcome to Microsoft Surface Pro.Ī Surface Pro would be a great setup except for one thing: Imagine a full workstation in a tablet format which runs all my audio software. Especially at this price point.An ipad would be a great setup except for one thing - ipadOS. I know of no other app that does what MainStage does- on any platform. In the practice room, I have it set up to run a drone and imitate concert hall acoustics so that intonation and playing to the hall can be practiced the RIGHT way: by LISTENING.įor me, it's a must and a no-brainer. A perfect solution to the emerging needs being generated by modern composers. The last version would have occasional crashes those problems seem to be fixed. I can program backing tracks for pieces that call for them in my high school band, set them up to be controlled via our keyboard controls, easily make patches for my jazz band when funky keyboards are needed. We can get things programmed in a matter of minutes. ![]() It is the centerpiece of my jazz ensemble and high school bands. ![]() For the price, look at what you get: you get ALL of the synths featured in Logic Pro, the effects racks that come with Logic Pro, it works with Logic Pro Remote, and is endlessly customizable to your needs.

Should i upgrade from mojave to big sur12/29/2023 ![]() I'd say you got lucky.Īgain, I think they manage to perfect it every third OS release and that they really need a 2-3 year cycle as they are pretty much operating on that schedule anyway and just releasing garbage in the interim years. My Blizzard games that worked in Mojave are no different in Catalina thankfully, but I miss Valve's library, I miss Quake 4 and Doom 3, I miss Batman Arkham Asylum (though I am grateful that Arkham City survived), I miss the BioShock games (though am grateful Remastered is okay). Most of my Steam Library is gone thanks to Catalina's culling of 32-bit support. Similarly, even if they didn't update to Big Sur, but instead ran the latest Security Update (concurrent to Big Sur), they'll still get the updated EFI for that particular Mac.Īgain, Big Sur Beta 9 is smoother than Catalina 10.15.7. So, if the OP keeps on Mojave and then updates to Big Sur, they will get whatever the newest EFI update is as of the version of Big Sur they're upgrading to. But going from Mojave to Big Sur really ought to be just fine.Īs for the EFI updates, post Sierra, every minor point release of the operating system (let alone major updates) will update a Mac's EFI to whatever the latest version is as of that update. If Big Sur's oldest supported OS for doing an upgrade for is 10.10 or 10.11, then yeah, I would say a clean install is better. Skipping 4 or 5 or more OS releases isn't great. Everything since Snow Leopard hasn't mattered too much. The only OS upgrade path that was wonky for some reason was Tiger directly to Snow Leopard without doing Leopard first. Apple didn't polish it enough before releasing. But I see zero reason to go to Catalina whatsoever. But I'm always a fan of clean installations (plus then you can create a Mojave partition if you want to devote some of your drive to legacy 32-bit apps. You should have no trouble doing a standard upgrade to Big Sur. The current Big Sur Public Beta is proving to be way less glitchy than Catalina even on its. I'd wait until Big Sur comes out and just either upgrade or clean install to it. They can afford to revert to Jobs' schedule. It's not like it's trying to compete with Windows 10 in terms of what it can put out every iteration. That OS does not need to release on a schedule. They need to revert to the way it was done with Jobs. My theory is that where Jobs was content to have the OS release when it was ready, Cook is still letting people get the OS polished on the same timeframe, so long as they have something to pump out annually. Though, I'd still wait until 11.0.1 just to be safe. 0 release will be smoother than Catalina is in its. You can usually get a good feel early on how it'll be. High Sierra might have stabilized somewhat in 10.13.4 and moreso in 10.13.6, but those releases were crap from the start and they remained crap until something better replaced it. With problematic releases like Lion, Mavericks, High Sierra, and Catalina, they didn't get better past the. But with Mountain Lion, El Capitan, and Mojave (which have been the only really good post-Snow Leopard releases, in my opinion), they were good pretty much from the. 0 release on Macs where it really matters is important. I used to think that waiting made a difference. Pleased to report there's no sign of them here. I would say go for it, with the proviso of using Eagle Filer or something similar to back up your email if you use Mail, as Michael Tsai's blog page & related comments suggest there are some lingering bugs related to mail data loss on Catalina. One benefit already is that I can now use a subscription I have for Parcel app on my Mac (I've only been able to use on my iOS devices), as Catalina supports 'Sign-in with '. Was planning on creating an install of Mojave to play those, but it turns out most of them are now in the Mac App Store with Catalina-compatible versions anyway (not sure why the updates hadn't shown up – maybe something to do with Mac App Store on Mojave?). My thinking was that Catalina by now should be more stable than at release and have fewer bugs, and Big Sur will have the usual intro bugs and issues – which could potentially delay it being something I can upgrade to.Īlso, had a look at Legacy software via About This Mac and the list had dwindled to a handful of games. ![]() Had been a Catalina holdout up until the weekend, then thought the transition to Big Surprise might be smoother if I hit the intermediate stepping stone.

![]() One such measure, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2–Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), will likely remain in the test armamentarium of many practitioners and be employed to assess the DSM-5 dimensional traits. Although specific assessment instruments for these personality traits have already been developed (e.g., the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 ), clinicians will likely continue to use omnibus measures of psychopathology that are familiar to them to inform diagnostic decision making. This model includes a set of dimensional personality traits, which along with impairment in personality functioning can be configured to represent one of six PDs. In 2008, the MMPI-2-RFĪn alternative model for diagnosing personality disorders (PDs) appears in DSM-5 Section III. Restructuring the Clinical Scales was the initial step toward addressing the remaining psychometric and theoretical problems of the MMPI-2. The most historically significant developmental changes include: In 1989, the MMPI became the MMPI-2 as a result of a major restandardization project that was undertaken to develop an entirely new set of normative data representing current population characteristics the restandardization produced an extremely large normative database that included a wide range of clinical and non-clinical samples psychometric characteristics of the Clinical Scales were not addressed at that time.In 2003, the Restructured Clinical Scales were added to the published MMPI-2, representing a major psychometric reconstruction of the original Clinical Scales this project was designed to address known psychometric flaws in the original Clinical Scales that unnecessarily complicated their interpretability and validity, but could not be addressed at the same time as the restandardization process Specifically, Demoralization-a non-specific distress component thought to impair the discriminant validity of many self-report measures of psychopathology-was identified and removed from the original Clinical Scales. Many additions and changes to the measure have been made over time, including the addition of dozens of supplemental, validity, and other content scales to improve interpretability of the original Clinical Scales, changes in the number of items in the measure, and other adjustments. The MMPI has been considered the gold standard in personality testing ever since its inception as an adult measure of psychopathology and personality structure in 1939. The MMPI is copyrighted by the University of Minnesota. History: The original authors of the MMPI were Starke R. After the computer scores the test results, the psychologist writes up a report interpreting the test results in the context of the person's history and current psychological concerns. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory is considered a protected psychological instrument, meaning it can only be given and interpreted by a psychologist trained to do so (anyone cannot find the test online). ![]() The MMPI is currently commonly administered in one of two forms - the MMPI-2, which has 567 true/false questions, and the newer MMPI-2-RF, published in 2008 and containing only 338 true/false items. Once an individual has completed the test, he/she is rated on 10 clinical scales used to indicate different psychotic conditions. The MMPI-2 contains 567 test items and takes approximately 60-90 min to complete. The revised edition of the test was released in 1989 as the MMPI-2. In response to these issues, the MMPI underwent a revision in the late 1980s. Others argued that the results indicated possible test bias, while some felt the test contained sexist and racist questions. Critics pointed out that the original sample group was inadequate. In the years after the test was first published, clinicians and researchers began to question the accuracy of the MMPI. Today, it is a frequently used clinical testing instrument and one of the most researched psychological tests in existence. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was developed in the late 1930s by psychologist Starke R.

![]() The iPod fails miserably on this count: it requires iTunes installed (or another custom application) to transfer any music to the device. Every music player on the market should have this down to a science by now: The iPod requires custom software to work.That's just crazy talk! And the list goes on: there's no voice recording, no EQ settings, no gapless playback, etcetera. Heck, you might even want to record FM radio. I'll never understand why the iPod chooses to deliberately ignore FM radio and its rich history in the music industry. You'd figure a company that had the guts to make a stunning, wholesale switch to x86 processors could deign to support a few alternative audio formats on their music players. And what of OGG? Or FLAC? Clearly, the hardware is capable, but the political forces inside Apple won't allow it. The conspicuous lack of WMA support is a not-so-subtle f*ck you to the Windows community. Although Jobs grudgingly made the iPod Windows compatible two years after its introduction, he still gets his jabs in. While I can certainly understand the desire to own music, why not give us a choice? Apple's insistence on purchase-only models is a huge mistake. For that same six bucks a month, I could buy a whopping six tracks from the iTunes store. ![]() And it's in a very respectable 192kbps 2-pass CBR format, too. I can stream any of this music to multiple PCs, or I can download it to my hard drive or mobile audio players. I'm a member of Yahoo Music Unlimited, which gives me unlimited access to a massive library of music for 6 bucks a month. The iPod has no support for subscription services.I'd be lying if I said this didn't matter to me. How can I properly rage against the machine with the same standard, factory issue music players that everyone else has? I don't want this to devolve into a knee-jerk rejection of all iThings, but let's be honest here: when every soccer Mom carries an iPod, it's no longer a cool technical accessory. That said, I have some problems with the iPod. The kind that, at least in theory, supports the artists who produce the music instead of ripping them off. They've almost single-handedly legitimized the market for downloadable music. I have a great deal of respect for Apple's iPod juggernaut.
