The iMac monitor is tall enough that I can still see it from a standing position by tilting it up, without having to raise it. I figured, if it’s good enough for these pros, it’s good enough for me! _ So much sitting is bad for my back! I’ve developed an alternative that will let me work from a standing position for at least some of the time. This slide presentation is what inspired my move to  Peak Pro 7 and The Levelator which I described above. Click here to see a very authoritative slide show on configuring Skype for Phone Interviews by Doug Kaye and Paul Figgiani. There are some recommended models on the Skype site, I believe. You will need one that has a USB connector to get it into the computer and working with Skype. Many people use an inexpensive headset (earphone and mic combo). You may need to also use earphones to prevent feedback. If you already have a USB microphone or your computer has a built-in mic, you can use that. If you want to interview someone who is not on Skype, for a small fee, Skype lets you call out to regular phones. You can call people across the glove for free if you and they are both on Skype. If you want to conduct phone interviews, the first thing is to get a Skype account and get comfortable with it. I don’t think you’ll hear a difference, at least not one that matters! Here’s what the setup looks like as of February 2014. I sold off the Aphex Master Voice Channel 230 (the box you see on the bottom right) and the ElectoVoice RE20 mic). _ Back in February 2014 I had decided to downsize and simplify my operation, thereby freeing up desk space and generating cash with the high-quality gear I sold on eBay. That cash will go toward upgrading my 2009 vintage iMac to the latest model. You can find these videos on Youtube by going there to shrinkrapradio1. I do minor editing of the video using Apple’s iMovie software. I record the video using Call Recorder the software program by Ecamm. I’m using the built-in camera on my iMac and conducting the interview on Skype. ![]() Also, I’ve recently begun adding video to the process. intro music, etc.) together using Garageband and then send the final product to iTunes. From there, I put all the different audio pieces (e.g. You could use the free program Audacity which is easy to find online and lots of tutorials on Youtube. I use an audio editing program Amadeus Pro to edit the audio interview. I use Piezo, Mac software from Rogue Amoeba, currently $19, to make a stereo recording of the person I’m interviewing on Skype. I go into the mixer with the XLR cable that comes with the ATR mic and I go out from the mixer into an iMic so that I have a USB plug that goes into the Mac . July 2016 UPDATE I’ve used several different mics over the past 11 years but the one I’m using lately is an Audio-Technica ATR2100 which costs all of about $60 on Amazon and works as well as mics I have had in the past that were more than $300! I’m running that mic into a small, inexpensive mixer, the 4 channel Mackie mixer which sells for $99.

Even as the final battle approaches, The Legend of Vox Machina is able to still provide quality character moments that leave the door open for some of the biggest character moments from the stream. Knowing that a second season was already confirmed with Prime Video, The Legend of Vox Machina takes no chances in giving quality cliffhangers that have me counting the moments until I can see the adventuring band together again. Every character gets their time to shine and I have to say the battle plays out better than it did as it happened stream all those years ago. Now the group is more of a unit and motivated giving viewers a plethora of coordinated attacks that had me rewinding over and over again just to see how these dungeons and dragons spells were translated to animation. ![]() When the group first met the devious duo early on in the series, they were clearly outmatched. As the collision course between Vox Machina and Sylas ( Matthew Mercer) and Deliah ( Grey DeLisle) Briarwood comes to a head, I felt as I was transported into my favorite shonen anime. The stand-out of the last episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina season one is without a doubt the animation of the fight scenes. Slowly but surely, the funny nods to table moments and subtle background Easter eggs have given way to new and exciting moments that seat new fans and season veterans on this exciting ride of adult animation. As a stream watcher, multiple times throughout my watch of these episodes I had to pause as the unexpected happened in the best possible ways. Even in this final batch of episodes, the major story beats are alive and well but the subtle changes make for a lasting impact. ![]() Not nearly everything that happened while the group was at the table makes it onto the screen but in the end, that is not a bad thing. Over the course of the series, The Legend of Vox Machina has done a great job of condescending down dozens of hours of playtime during the Briarwood arc to a manageable size for an animated series. During their trek down to the depths of Whitestone, Vox Machina encounters a host of obstacles but it truly is the battle between the group and the Briarwoods that will even the most avid Critical Role shocked by its events. After a quick integration, Vox Machina learn of a ziggurat underneath that Whitestone that the Briarwoods that only she can lead them to as she worked on it personally. Before another name vanishes from the corrupted weapon, Cassandra stops her brother attesting that the information she possesses may be worth more than her death. Consumed by the strange darkness, it is revealed who this stranger in the cell is why they have made it to Percy’s infamous list. The last trio of episodes for season one of The Legend of Vox Machinapicks up right as Percy yet again pulls his Pepperbox on a stranger to the viewers. Boy, have I never been happier to be wrong. For all intents and purposes, it appeared that The Legend of Vox Machina Season 1 finale would take the optimistic ending that was featured on the Briarwood arc of the Critical Role’s stream of campaign one. Despite all the odds, a rebellion with the people Whitestone against the Brairwoods was sparked, Pyke rejoined the group via astral projection, and Percy was finally reunited with his long sister Cassandra de Rolo.

The flavour and texture from both are perfect for this tart, both the base and the crumble. This tart is gluten free as it’s made with almond flour and gluten free old fashioned rolled oats from Bob’s Red Mill. The crumble gets nice and crunchy after it bakes up and the whole combination works really well with a scoop of vanilla icecream. They will breakdown into a jammier filling. That won’t happen as much if you use blueberries, blackberries, strawberries or currants. Some get very jammy and others stay whole. They have a bit of a tougher skin on them then blueberries and many bakers precook them before using them in pie but I don’t mind that they don’t break down fully in the pie. I used Saskatoon berries in this one that a very sweet friend of mine picked and gave me. Speaking of that filling - its a versatile one. Combined they turn into a great little crumble that gets pressed into the pan and crumbled over the filling. It’s made up of a simple dough made with oats, almond flour and butter. This and some icecream and dessert is sorted. This is a great make ahead dessert making it perfect for taking to summer bbqs and gatherings.

The lossy encoder will see this and discard the bits representing soft notes immediately following loud ones. It's a known fact that the human ear has difficulty detecting a soft note played immediately after a loud one. MP3s on the other hand can be compared to JPEGs, which offer various degrees of lossy compression. Files compressed with a lossless codec can be compared to the RAW file format, which also employs lossless compression. Perhaps you're familiar with digital photography.
