![]() One typical design challenge I have is to achieve a great sense of space in the interior with a higher roof line, whilst considering the shadows cast on neighbours. I also set up all my key scenes and sheets early on in SketchUp Pro and LayOut… floor plans, sections, main elevations and perspective views of the main spaces. Having a well organised model makes it easy for me to make changes or remove elements. In terms of my model structure, each floor is its own component, walls and floors are separate, and furniture and people are on individual layers. I focus on getting the flow of the plan right, whilst incorporating the client’s requirements and desires within the limitations of a typical London terrace.Īt the schematic design stage, I get a survey of the existing building done, and turn that into a SketchUp model. I start every concept with hand drawn sketches. The smooth transition from concept to the site is crucial for a successful building – How do you ensure this and how does SketchUp support your workflow? Now I know that what I’ve drawn is what the builders will have.ģD details of extension frame construction. ![]() Once I saw that I could go from concept design to construction details in SketchUp on this project, I stopped exporting my sections or details to other CAD software. ![]() By doing this, I’m able to spot every mistake. In SketchUp, I create all the detail drawings we need, and virtually construct the entire building before we go on site. Communicating these details clearly to builders is very important so that the client gets the most value. Modelling the concept in SketchUp helped immensely during our conversations as I could quickly communicate my intent in 3D and also reflect changes easily.įor the retrofit and extension projects that I’ve specialized in, minute details like insulation thickness can affect the final usable floor area. This meant I had to rapidly iterate to test and discuss ideas with Jemima. We wanted to create an interesting and functional space, using inexpensive materials in a considered way. To manage the budget, keep my fees down and still deliver value to my client, I had to be very efficient with my time.

It came in 2011 when I was working on Jemima’s House, an extension to a terraced Victorian house with big ambitions and a tight budget. What was the “Aha!” moment for you with SketchUp? ![]() As a designer, you have to know your craft… knowledge gaps become apparent when you transition from design to construction, particularly when engaging in conversations with builders and subcontractors. Luckily I had a very hands-on experience at the University of Edinburgh that has served me well in practice. I’m drawn to the technical aspects of the profession and the site. Tell us about your background as an architect and how this influences your approach to design. For Tom, ‘SketchUp makes the means of design & communication, with client and contractor, one and the same’. In this conversation, we delve into his workflow and how he uses SketchUp to deliver value to his clients within the constraints of a tight budget.

![]() These eight “sound effects pads” or Hotkeys as I know then from radio, are for your stings, sound effects, intros or pre-recorded content. Ok, so the Bluetooth was a gamechanger, this is just to put the boot into anyone else thinking about a product like this. Podcasts are about to start sounding very very different. Plus, get this, you can record those interviews to the MicroSD card, out to your PC via USB – OR – Direct to a hotkey for playback later. This will make recording interviews an absolute breeze – utterly sensational. You could take calls live on air from your mobile if you wanted, easy as pie. This is great if you have sounds or stings on another device, though, with the other features I’m about to run through, this does seem redundant. 3.5mm TRRS InputĪ simply little “Aux” port allows you to plug in a Phone or Tablet using a 3.5mm connection. Likewise, you can record directly into Audition or other, or, use the Rodecaster as the desk for a live broadcast online. So you can play content from your PC and have fader level control on the desk. We invested in some headset mics from Sennheiser just a few weeks ago (!) and frankly, they sound thin so we’ve got some tweaking to do if we want consistent sound across both mics.Īround back is a USB-C port, which when plugged into your PC gives you control of the hotkeys (more on that later), but can also be your audio in and out. What I will tell you is the RØDE Procaster Mics we use REALLY sound great now. Look I’ll be honest, this stuff is beyond me, so I’ll be watching how-to videos till the cows come home to get the best from my sound. This includes a range of dynamics, as well as compression, limiters and noise gating. Using the touch-screen interface you can customise the sound of each microphone with broadcast quality sound. Each has a class-A preamp built in, and a huge range of software to make you sound sweet and smooth. I’m unsure I’ll be able to get to it all here. Everything you’ll ever need as a podcaster.Plus, I’ve had a trusty iPad (Original) with me running some software for my stings and Intros.Īll that is background to say – holy crap, RØDE have done it. ![]() Level issues, headphones don’t work, needing a PC attached for recording – it’s good, but hardly great. Great sound, but you come back with raw audio and need to insert all the imaging elements like intros and stings.įinally, just a month or so ago, I went analogue again, and got another Behringer mixer for the EFTM office, but this time got a headphone amp so we could all have headphones. Out on the road, I’ve primarily opted for an iPhone connected RØDE iXY or Shure Motiv. In both instances, I also needed my Computer, that USB interface and a good internet to get things happening, after all, I was doing a talk-back style show so had to record calls from my Skype through the mixer and back into Audition. When I moved into my new house, and built my man cave with purpose built studio, I went all out – got a Mackie iPad controlled mixer and some stunning Shure SM7B microphones. That’s a secret that will stay between me and the good people at Turramurra Music.īack in the day I bought a Behringer 8 track mixer, a USB interface and an AudioTechnica microphone along with a RØDE mic-arm. I’ve been podcasting for almost a decade, and in that time the amount of money I’ve spent on “gear” is almost embarrassing. Well here it is, the all-Aussie podcast gamechanger – the Rodecaster pro – a new all-in-one mixing desk for the simplest and most advanced podcast producers.

At that time I was told that I had 5 phones on my bill. When I received my bill it was so much higher and I called to inquire. I ordered new phones and received the phones (red, yellow and purple Iphone 11) I was also informed that due to the promotions and being a long time Sprint customer (16.5 years) that I would receive other discounts and my telephone bill would be going down by at least $40.00. One specifically was that they were offering a FREE iPad that would cost me only $5.00 per month for service. It started back in April/May when I upgraded my services and was told that there were several promotions going on. I am making a formal complaint about Sprint and the services I have been receiving and the egregious errors that have been made on my account. ![]() Their 1968 self-titled album (also known as the "White Album") in particular featured a wide range of styles, including ska (" Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"), blues (" Yer Blues"), hard rock (" Helter Skelter" and the single version of " Revolution"), and a musique concrète sound collage (" Revolution 9"). Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour). Originally rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll music, the group embraced pop music in their early years (" She Loves You", " I Want to Hold Your Hand"), but began to branch out into different genres, including folk rock ( Help!, Rubber Soul), country (" Act Naturally", " Don't Pass Me By") and psychedelia ( Sgt. The group were known for their harmonies, mostly two-part, but sang intricate three-part harmonies on " This Boy", " Yes It Is" and " Because". ![]() Lead vocals were also shared by the group, with Starr usually contributing vocals to one song per album. Cover songs were included on five of the band's core albums: Please Please Me and With the Beatles (both 1963), Beatles for Sale (1964), Help! (1965) and Let It Be (1970). Artists the band covered while together included Chuck Berry (" Roll Over Beethoven", " Rock and Roll Music"), Carl Perkins (" Matchbox", " Honey Don't"), Larry Williams (" Slow Down", " Dizzy Miss Lizzy") and Little Richard (" Long Tall Sally"). These include " Come Together", " Strawberry Fields Forever" and " Nowhere Man" (Lennon) and " Hey Jude", " Let It Be" and " Yesterday" (McCartney), the last of which is one of the most covered songs of all time. While songs written by Lennon or McCartney were always credited to " Lennon–McCartney", the pair wrote many songs completely separately. Their primary songwriters were the partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who composed most of the group's songs lead guitarist George Harrison wrote 22 songs, including " While My Guitar Gently Weeps", " Something" and " Here Comes the Sun", while drummer Ringo Starr wrote two songs (" Don't Pass Me By" and " Octopus's Garden"), and was credited as co-writer for four others. įollowing their signing with EMI in 1962, each member of the Beatles contributed to songwriting. All mono mixes were remastered and released on The Beatles in Mono box set in 2009, along with the remastering of the band's entire catalogue in stereo.

Between 19, the Beatles released their songs in both mono and stereo versions Abbey Road and Let It Be were mixed and released only in stereo. ![]() The majority of their recordings were produced by George Martin, who also played and composed string arrangements on multiple songs his influence on the group led him to be referred to as the " Fifth Beatle". Often considered the most influential band of the rock era, the group's music pioneered new recording techniques and was primarily responsible for pop music's evolution into an art form. The band also recorded several songs that remain unreleased. Since their break-up, over 100 more songs by the group have been officially released, including live songs the group never recorded in the studio and numerous outtakes. The group's "main catalogue"-songs released between 19-consists of 213 songs (four of which exist in different versions): 188 originals and 25 covers.

So, if you're a technology professional, a five-year-old computer might indeed be obsolete. When someone declares a computer "obsolete," they often speak from their own point of view. Many times, their statement is an opinion. For example, Office 365 takes advantage of modern web standards and runs best with the latest browser.You may often hear someone claim a computer, tablet, or smartphone is "obsolete."

![]() There is a long-running project to separate calibre into clients with a separate db server, but this won't finish anytime soon. Calibre doesn't need to provide another one. There are already many ways to copy a library from A to B. In the upper right-hand corner, make sure to set the Output Format to Mobi. I know that I have no interest in building it. Now click on an entry in your Calibre library and choose Convert Books from the top bar. The calibre init.d script stops calibre, copies metadata.db to somewhere not in dropbox-land, sets $CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH to that file, and then restarts calibre.Īs for adding something like a transport to calibre, I strongly suspect that it isn't going to happen. If it changes, then monit restarts the calibre server (init.d/calibre-server). To get around this I use monit to monitor the timestamp on metadata.db. In addition, because of how linux holds files open even when deleted, the calibre servers never see library (metadata.db) updates. One "trick": because the calibre server holds metadata.db open, which in some situations can cause dropbox collisions. Here are the general steps to do this: In Readarr, go to the settings page and navigate to the 'Custom Recipes' section. Of course, you can use anything you want as the transport instead of dropbox. I have 2 calibre servers in the "cloud", both fed from my library on my home machine. I solve the same problem using dropbox as a transport.

This is the last piece to turn the integrated server into an awesome all-in-one solution around calibre for me, and others I'm sure! If I can't configure the Desktop Calibre client to update the metadata.db file, is it possible to make this a feature request? Presumably calibre knows how to update this file, and a locking facility can easily be instituted. How can I configure the Desktop Calibre client to update the metadata.db file?
