It obviously resets on each run you do if there are multiple runs in a single event. It may be possible that it resets after you fall, I'll have to test that out. I haven't figured out if there's a secret to that yet. There are times when the ability to get the full "first time" trick score resets. I've found that if you throw in a quick 500 or 1000-point trick first and then switch to the higher-scoring tricks, you can add a thousand or two to your combo if you have enough air.* Before the update what I said above was true but now there's been an extra layer of complexity to deciding which tricks to do, which I like. Do 2 grabs, you get 1000 pts, 3 grabs will get you 2000 pts, and so on. Whenever you pull off an extra trick or grab in a single combo you get awarded 1000 pts. For bikes it's called a "trick combo" and for snow tricks, it's called a "grab combo". ~\*Edit: If you've been playing then you know this, but if you're new, they added a new mechanic to the game with the BMX update by adding the ability to perform multiple tricks in a single combo for extra points. I saw some gameplay videos of people trying to do multiple L2/R2 tricks in one combo and ended up getting zero points total because they didn't hold either trick long enough to fill up the yellow trick meter. **One thing to note: don't try to fit multiple L2/R2 tricks into a single combo **.** By the time you switch tricks and fill up the yellow trick bar for the 2nd trick, you could have already done 1 or 2 more full tricks just by holding the original trick you did. I can't tell for sure but I'm pretty sure you get some of the fastest rotations when you combine the Cork rotation with a Tailspin in the same direction. Watch how fast you start to spin compared to if you moved the left joystick in the opposite direction that you're rotating. So for the Left Rodeo you would want to do a tailspin left. With either bike start doing some tailspins and combining them with the 4 higher-scoring rotations (Left & Right Rodeo & Cork). Next time you play take either a Slopestyle trick bike or a Park BMX bike and go to the BMX park or anywhere with a big halfpipe or bowl so you can get lots of air. If you can combine this factor when deciding what tricks to do, while also considering the point value and speed of each trick, then you can really get some high-scoring combos and point totals. on a bike and move the left joystick to the left while rotating, you will rotate faster. If anyone is curious about that let me know. I'd also like to add that I plan on doing some testing to see if I can determine which control scheme (racer or trickster) is faster when it comes to rotations lol. If you're interested in this, let me know what you would prefer.Īlso, for those of you who prefer to use the trickster controls, I will also include the controls for that layout in the documents I am creating along with controls for Xbox and PC. But then I got to thinking that once I have that made, I could make a YouTube video to quickly explain everything and then also provide the link to the site for people to look at. I was thinking I could just use Google sites or some other website posting service and make a website with links to pages for each piece of gear. I have some pages made up already showing each trick, the controls for that trick, and the points awarded. So I am going to make some edits to this post and make it up to date with the BMX DLC.Īs I mention below I do have something in the works as far as posting a digital version of the point totals for each trick. Like the whole scoring system for the bikes for example. ~~***Before you read this, know that I wrote this the day after they released the BMX update and didn't realize they had changed more than just adding in the BMX.

(I have done this on Windows 10 and do not know how it works on any other OS, so if it works for you on any other systems, please let others know in the comments section).ġ- Install latest version of LGS and restart your pc.Ģ - Open up your playback devices by right clicking the speaker icon on the taskbar.ģ - Right click on your Logitech headset and click on properties.Ĥ - When a new window pops up, on the general tab, click on properties inside the Controller Information box.ĥ- Now you should be inside the G933 Properties page. Let others know if it also works for you. The steps below which I have tried, has worked for me, I do not know if it'll work for anyone else, but now I am able to use the latest version of software and still have high AF volume. The only workaround I found was to delete LGS and I would be able to use the headset normally, although not being able to use the software at all was a bummer. At most, I get 2-3 hours of battery life.So like many in this sub, I was getting a low volume issue with my headset. That being said, battery life on these is mostly irrelevant because of three current issues:ġ) the battery never seems to charge 100%, or maybe the capacity on mine has just dropped significantly over 2 months of ownership (80% max charge for mine)Ģ) the headset will occasionally turn on (including LED lighting, even with the settings for it turned off) for no reason, which means the headset has battery drain when not in use - I'm seeing this issue daily.ģ) there is a bug in the firmware (possibly hardware issue?) that throws a low battery warning when the battery gets below 50%īecause of these issues, I charge my battery nightly, it has around 80% life when "fully" charged, and stops working when the battery reaches 50%. I can't remember where the setting is exactly, but under custom lighting settings you can select no lighting, should increase the battery life from ~9 hours to ~12 hours. Feel free to add tips/tricks below and I will add them to the list. I also don't know if any of this is applicable to the G633. I do not known anything regarding the connection/range issues because I have not experienced them. I don't know if this is the preferred configuration, but it makes sense to me. I am not able to get the subwoofer channel in Windows speaker properties to work, so I have unchecked subwoofer from the list of speaker options and marked front and surround speakers as full-range. there will still be some noise in the earcup swivel, but there should only be a minimal amount once the headset is on your ears. Headset creaky plastic noise - (very) gently tighten the four phillips screws above and two phillips screws below the earcup swivel, for each side. it is unknown if they intend to resolve this issue The sidetone is very quiet - this has already been brought to logitech's attention. this is why the red light appears even if it if the microphone is put away (this should be fixed by logitech in the firmware, if they are able to do so), and they should because that LED is technically draining the battery. The microphone light indicates that the microphone is muted, not enabled. The headband adjustment can become loose over time, (very) gently tighten the four phillips screws on the top left and top right of the headband Noise in 3.5mm line - try a different sound card or line out, I've noticed weird noise from my laptop that is not present in either my phone (android) or iPad Pro If you are experiencing issues with microphone audio quality, try setting the sample rate to 16-bit, 32000 Hz (FM Radio Quality) If you are having an issue with wireless volume being too low, or hearing audio glitches/skipping, try changing the default sample rate to 16-bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality) The unit should be detected and update the firmwareĪfter the firmware update, unplug the USB cable, reconnect the battery, then turn the unit back on If the headset will not turn off in 45 seconds, do the following firmware update procedure: Switching the unit off the buttons should cease to work until the unit is turned back on

Noisy Miners have become more abundant and widespread in many Australian environments, and are strongly implicated in the loss of small birds from cities. In particular, the Noisy Miner, a common inhabitant of eastern Australian cities, excludes small insectivores (insect-feeders) and nectarivores (nectar-feeders) from its territories. Small birds generally can't compete with larger birds for resources.One reason that the larger birds do well in cities is that they are more likely to benefit from human-created foods (petfood, garbage, foodscraps and carrion) than small birds, which mostly eat insects. Other predatory species, like ravens, butcherbirds and kookaburras, also seem to do well in cities, making life even more dangerous for small birds. They are voracious nest predators and it is likely that Pied Currawongs have an impact on the small birds by limiting their ability to reproduce. Several species of large bird - notably the Pied Currawong - have become more common in cities. The only bird that is bigger in entire North America. The biggest bird in Texas is the American white pelican with a length of 70 inches and a wingspan of 120 inches. Some species, such as vultures (bearded vulture. The list of big birds in Texas includes Caspian terns, great horned owls, whooping cranes, great blue herons, great egrets, bald eagles, black and turkey vultures, and many others. This happens most during the breeding season because eggs and nestlings are unable to escape. Carrion birds are those birds of prey, whose diet includes varying proportions of other animals carcasses. They have bald, featherless heads so that when they stick their heads into a dead animal to reach and eat. Small birds are always vulnerable to predation from larger species. Vultures have special adaptations for eating carrion.Several factors are involved in the loss of small birds from cities. In comparison, larger birds dominate cities, with 30 % of species in the 80 g to 200 g weight range in bushland, less than 10 % of bird species weigh this much. By Melissa Mayntz Updated on 03/12/22 Fact checked by Emily Estep Sandy Stewart / Flickr / Used With Permission Carrion (care-EEE-on, rhymes with clarion, barbarian) is an animal's dead, decaying flesh that often serves as a food source for other carnivorous or omnivorous animals and birds. This contrasts with birds in native bushland, where around 40 % weigh less than 15 g. Vultures are carrion-eating raptors of two distinct biological families, each occurring in only the Eastern Hemisphere (Accipitridae) or the Western (. Only 15 % of all the species commonly found in cities weigh less than 15 g. Small insect-eating (insectivorous) birds have been most affected by urbanisation in Australia. ASIO lets you set lower buffer sizes and provides a low latency between an application and the computer’s sound card. Fix ASIO Driver Not Working in Windows 10 – 4 TipsĪSIO, shot for Audio Stream Input/Output, is a computer sound card driver protocol for digital audio.How to Update ASIO Driver for Windows 10.How to Download ASIO Driver for Windows 10.MiniTool Software mainly focuses on helping users solve various computer issues and providing some light free computer software like MiniTool Power Data Recovery, MiniTool Partition Wizard, etc. It is the audio equivalent of FPS, or frames per second in the video world.This post explains what ASIO is, what ASIO driver is, how to download, install or update ASIO driver on Windows 10, how to fix ASIO driver not working issue. The sample rate is the number of times that audio is captured every second. lower latency) when live recording, I will drop the buffer size to 512 samples or lower. If you are the kind that will jam out on the keyboard, then you need low latency.īased on my own workflow and CPU specs, I find that a buffer size of 1024 samples works well for me. If you work mostly with samples, then a high latency might not be an issue. This will be highly dependent on your way of writing music. You might want to start at 1024 samples and see if the latency is not too big for you. The best way to go about this is trial and error. Setting The Right Buffer LengthĪs explained above, setting the right buffer size is the first step to lighten your CPU load. This is why a lot of CPU-saving tips are applicable to most (if not all) DAWs. 5 Tips to Save Your CPU (for any DAW)Īlthough producers love to praise their favorite DAW versus another, the inner workings of most DAWs are quite similar. But if you are listening back to a track with 50 plugins working at the same time, you want the sound to come through seamlessly (lower CPU usage).īecause many producers run into CPU issues, we will be focusing on optimizing for CPU usage rather than latency in the rest of this guide. If you are recording, you need to hear what you are playing in real-time (lower latency). So one question to ask yourself is: are you optimizing for live performance or stability? Higher Buffer Size = More Latency = Less CPU Usage Lower Buffer Size = Less Latency = More CPU Usage This means there is a tradeoff to make between CPU load and latency. Note here the inverse correlation between buffer size and latency. Need a more visual explanation? Check out this video: Think of a website taking too long to load, an email not going through, or a game freezing and then moving again. In networks, latency refers to the time it takes for a request to go from the source to the destination. Latency is the time it takes for data to move from one point to another. So before diving any further, let’s clarify some terminology that will be used throughout this guide. And we all know the link between workflow and creativity. However, working with hardware and software also requires a basic understanding of technology.Īnd although buffer sizes and sample rates are not the most exciting topics, they are crucial to ensuring a smooth workflow. 5 Tips to Save Your CPU in Ableton LiveĪs electronic music producers, we generally think of ourselves as artists.

We do not recommend using a spike aerator to repair compacted soil. Spike aerators tend to work best with looser soil, especially if the goal is to increase root exposure to fertilizer or create spaces for grass seed to settle without running off the soil’s surface. They might not do the trick for dense soil. They typically work well on less compacted soil and sod. Instead, they puncture the soil with long spikes and allow air and water to reach the roots. Spike aerators don’t remove soil from the yard. The result is a healthy root system below and a lush lawn above. The holes create spaces in the soil that allow roots to expand, water to soak in deeper, and air to circulate. Whether your lawn has all or just one of these indicators, it will benefit from a plug aerator. Frequent foot traffic has hardened the soil.Water pools in the grass or runs off onto sidewalks after a rainfall.Home landscapers can either leave these plugs in place to decompose or collect them with a rake or lawn mower.Ĭandidates for plug aeration include lawns where: Plug AeratorsĪ lawn plug aerator penetrates the lawn with hollow tines that remove plugs of soil. Aeration Methodsĭepending on the method of aeration that’s best for your lawn, you may use one of two types of tools: a spike or a plug (also called a “core”). For them, dealing with the hassle of coordinating a rental pickup and return every year, and paying the fee over and over, makes owning an aerator much more cost-effective. On the other hand, some homeowners have problem areas that need yearly aerating. Most tool rental companies offer both walk-behind and towable lawn aerators for rent by the hour, half day, full day, or week. If you are new to your home and not sure whether aerating will be a one-time task or a recurring chore, your best bet might be to borrow or rent a lawn aerator. In fact, many homeowners grow gorgeous lawns without aerating. It doesn’t always make good financial sense to purchase lawn equipment that you will rarely need. After removing the thatch, aerate the lawn to repair the soil structure. These tools simply scrape and remove the thatch without digging into the surface. In that case, a lawn dethatcher will help to remove the thatch layer. Thatch is made up of living and dead grass stems and roots that form at the soil surface, usually in response to poor drainage. Your soil may not be breathing because there’s a thick layer of thatch on top. Until the sod can take root and make a connection to the rough soil underneath, it’s just a grass carpet sitting on top of the soil. For lawns built up from sod, a yard aerator can be a necessity.Is your lawn the neighborhood ball field? When a yard sees a lot of use, such as children, parties, pets, and other foot traffic, you should think about lawn aeration.Between the work crew’s trucks and heavy equipment passing over the soil, there’s a good chance you need to aerate your lawn. For newly constructed homes, aeration is almost always a good idea.But if one of the following scenarios applies to your lawn, you should consider it. Photo: Debbie Wolfe Who Should Aerate Their Lawnīefore you run out and poke holes in your lawn, understand that not all lawns require aeration.

After reviewing the specifications, features, and customer reviews for each of the products below, we tested them in our own backyard. We scoured the market to present a list of top picks in a variety of categories. This could be the key that unlocks the gate to greener pastures. A yearly pass with a lawn aerator opens space for air and water to reach your lawn’s roots. Drainage suffers, and a thick thatch layer-a mix of dead stems, leaves, and roots-may develop between the soil and the grass. Soil compaction often occurs in lawns with heavy clay soil that receive a lot of foot or wheeled traffic. Compaction is when the space between soil particles becomes so tight that air, water, and nutrients can no longer circulate around the roots. If bare patches persist despite your best efforts, compacted soil is the likely culprit. Grass requires regular watering, mowing, and weeding to stay verdant and lush. Maintaining a lawn is demanding-there’s no question about it. Research and dive expeditions are an annual occurrence at the wreck sites, now protected as a combined National Historic Site. Two years later, the Arctic Research Foundation found the wreck of Terror south of King William Island, in the body of water named Terror Bay. In 2014, a search team led by Parks Canada located the wreck of Erebus in the eastern portion of Queen Maud Gulf. The Northwest Passage was not navigated by boat until 1906, when Roald Amundsen traversed the passage on the Gjøa. McClure's expedition returned after finding an ice-bound route that connected the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Robert McClure led one of the expeditions that investigated the fate of Franklin's expedition, a voyage which was also beset by great challenges and later controversies. Cut marks on some of the bones recovered during these studies also supported allegations of cannibalism reported by Franklin searcher John Rae in 1854.ĭespite the expedition's notorious failure, it did succeed in exploring the vicinity of what was one of the many Northwest Passages to eventually be discovered. Hypothermia, starvation, lead poisoning or zinc deficiency and diseases including scurvy, along with general exposure to a hostile environment while lacking adequate clothing and nutrition, killed everyone on the expedition in the years after it was last sighted by Europeans in 1845. A series of scientific studies in modern times suggested that the men of the expedition did not all die quickly. In the many subsequent searches in the decades afterwards, several artefacts from the expedition were discovered, including the remains of two men, which were returned to Britain. Pressed by Franklin's wife, Jane, and others, the Admiralty launched a search for the missing expedition in 1848. The survivors, now led by Franklin's second-in-command, Francis Crozier, and Erebus 's captain, James Fitzjames, set out for the Canadian mainland and disappeared, presumably having perished. After being icebound for more than a year Erebus and Terror were abandoned in April 1848, by which point two dozen men, including Franklin, had died. The expedition met with disaster after both ships and their crews, a total of 129 officers and men, became icebound in Victoria Strait near King William Island in what is today the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Commander James Fitzjames commanded the expedition's flagship, HMS Erebus.įranklin's lost expedition was a failed British voyage of Arctic exploration led by Captain Sir John Franklin that departed England, United Kingdom in 1845 aboard two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, and was assigned to traverse the last unnavigated sections of the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic and to record magnetic data to help determine whether a better understanding could aid navigation. Captain Francis Crozier, executive officer for the expedition, commanded HMS Terror. She married John Franklin in 1828, a year before he was knighted.
