10 year old music prodigy12/16/2023 So you see the signs, and you’re wondering what to do next. They often come up with tunes they haven’t heard before.Their memory, often generally, but specifically of music, is exceptional.They display unusual focus, attention and joy when music is present.They show curiosity and interest in musical instruments.They recognize and respond to rhythm, melody and harmony.So really, the question is not ‘is my child a musical prodigy’ (if they are, they should be collecting a paycheck) but ‘do they have the potential to be one?’ That said, here are some things you can look for.īroadly speaking, the question you should be asking yourself is, ‘do they love music?’ Even at a very young age, if your child is potentially a prodigy, they should exhibit at least some of the following signs: The definition of a prodigy is a hotly debated topic, but most contemporary researchers agree that in order to be a prodigy a child must perform at the level of a highly trained adult in a specialized field of endeavor. So arises a most vexing question for many parents: could my child be a musical prodigy without my even knowing it? While some prodigies seem almost to be the natural evolution of talented parents, others seem to come out of nowhere, seemingly “touched” by the hand of Providence. A simple YouTube search will offer up an awe-inspiring selection of children exhibiting virtuoso skill on a variety of instruments, and some of the most enduring names in the history of music, names like Mozart, Chopin and Mendelssohn, also happen to be well-documented child prodigies. The idea of exceptional, innate, individual talent has a powerful hold on the popular imagination, and there can be no greater example of it than in the person of child prodigies.

Xtrafinder 10.13 cannot quit12/16/2023 Full OS crashes (what modern macOS calls kernel panics) were a daily occurrence for the typical Mac-using professional who ran complex software. I was using Macs back in the late '90s, and none of the things you say ring true.Įxtensions could easily bring down the entire system because there was no memory protection. I don't think there's anything today as nice, except maybe Cocoa, maybe. Programming a Mac back then was very clean & straightforward. The way that the Mac used its files' resource fork was great. The way that the Mac associated programmes to files (with an application code & a file code) was much better than the extension-based naming of Windows. The Finder was much more straightforward than the Windows equivalent (was it called the File Explorer back then?). The window system itself was better-thought-out and less-confusing than Windows's was. Extensions were an easy-to-understand way to extend one's system, and easy-to-disable too. The Macintosh system was very understandable, very clean. It might still be, but they're both so painful to use now that it's very difficult to pick a winner. I think that the Mac back then was head-and-shoulders a better system than Windows. Well, I agree that there was no comparison with System 8, but not in the sense you mean. > Compare it to other GUIs at the time, like CDE, IBM's Presentation Manager, or even Mac OS 8 and there's no comparison. Basically everything that makes Windows what it is today. So much stuff I had forgotten - TrueType fonts, Plug and Play, registry settings, right-click properties, long file names. I wouldn't switch back because of the underlying crap that is the Windows OS and file system, but I still miss the interface.Įdit: Found this fantastic PDF "Chicago Reviewers Guide" which goes over all the new stuff in Win95. I still get frustrated on OSX when I minimize a window and have to hunt around for it. Windows 95 solidified Microsoft's dominance, but could just as easily eroded it had they dropped the ball.Įven though I've used a Mac daily for the past decade or so, I still miss the task bar, and window-oriented GUI of Windows. Compare it to other GUIs at the time, like CDE, IBM's Presentation Manager, or even Mac OS 8 and there's no comparison. The very first version missed wildly in some big ways (MSN was a folder integrated into the desktop, for example, and no TCP/IP support ), but the core, underlying redesign of the GUI was so profoundly good it propelled Microsoft into a new level of ubiquity. It's hard to remember, but even though Windows 3.11 was extremely dominant at the time, it was by no means assured that Windows 95 would be the success that it was.

Along with Hogs and Kisses, Moon Festival is one of the first two Angry Birds Seasons episodes to have two different versions of the theme song, with the third being Year of the Dragon and the fourth being Piglantis.With the Ham'o'ween update, the episode title was changed from Mooncake Festival to Moon Festival. This is the first Chinese holiday in Angry Birds Seasons.This episode is the first to be leaked through achievements, the second being Wreck the Halls.Rovio published an online fourteen strip comic titled " Angry Birds Moon Festival".Moon Festival (A minor) = A, C, D, A, C, D, F, D) (Example: Original theme (E minor) = E, F#, G, E, G, A, B, E. The musical theme for Moon Festival is slightly altered to sound like Chinese music.This is the second episode in any game not to feature the King Pig, although he appeared in the picture at the end of level 2-15 and in the credits.The first was Summer Pignic, then later by Ham'o'ween and Wreck the Halls. Moon Festival was the second episode from Angry Birds Seasons to have official merchandise, with its Angry Birds Mooncakes.Before the episode colors were removed in an update, the representative color they used in Mooncake Festival is violet.This episodes includes 99 stars, 33 levels (including 3 bonus Facebook levels), 8 hidden pieces of mooncakes, including a special mooncake level when all mooncakes are found, 5 new "secret" achievements, paper art that costs 3,000 points, and many bug fixes. The dragon was filled with egg-napping pigs! Levels As the Flock tucked into the tasty mooncakes Chuck had prepared, they marveled that he had also been able to make the dragon move as if it was alive. He decorated a clearing in the trees with Chinese lanterns and even made a huge paper dragon. Inspired by one of my legendary tales of days gone by, Chuck decided to throw a Mooncake Festival party for his fellow birds.

Gnuplot point style12/15/2023 When you work from the Gnuplot command line, you’re working in a session: You can run shell commands from the Gnuplot command line: Set autoscale # let gnuplot determine ranges (default) It can be nice to have a grid on a chart, and it can also be nice to control the graph tickmarks, ranges, and origin: Plot sin(x) title 'Sin', tan(x) title 'Tangent' It’s fun and easy to plot formulas with Gnuplot: You can create ASCII plots in your Mac Terminal window: That series of commands creates this chart: Unset multiplot # exit multiplot mode (prompt changes back to 'gnuplot') Set multiplot # multiplot mode (prompt changes to 'multiplot') How to show multiple graphs in the output: Plot sin(x) title 'Sine Function', tan(x) title 'Tangent' Plot '4col.csv' u 1:2 w l title 'Square', '4col.csv' u 1:3 w l title 'Double' Plot '4col.csv' using 1:2 with lines title 'Square', '4col.csv' using 1:3 with lines title 'Double' The second command shown creates this chart: Plot '4col.csv' using 1:2 with lines, '4col.csv' using 1:3 with lines, '4col.csv' using 1:4 with lines Plot '4col.csv' using 1:2 with lines, '4col.csv' using 1:3 with lines To show multiple curves on one plot, use the 4col.csv file: You can adorn your plots with titles, labels, legend, arrows, and more: Plot '2col.csv' u 1:2 w l title 'Squared' # 'u' - using, 'w l' - with lines Plot '2col.dat' using 2:1 # 2=x, 1=y (reverse the graph) Plot '2col.dat' using 1:2 # 1=x, 2=y (this is the default) Plot '2col.dat' with lines title 'my curve' # this is really the line-title in the legend Plot '2col.dat' with linespoints # plot only elements 3 thru 7 Plot '2col.dat' with linespoints # plot the first 5 elements Plot '2col.dat' with points # just points (default) Plot '2col.dat' with linespoints # line and points Plot '2col.dat' with lines # connect points with a line Plot '2col.dat' # assumes col1=x, col2=y shows '+' at data points Opens plot in an ’AquaTerm’ on Mac OS Xįrom here you can do all sorts of fun things:.Assumes col1=x, col2=y shows ’+’ at data points. Plotting the data from a two-column file is easy: It prompts you with gnuplot> as shown, but I won’t show that prompt in the examples below. The latest version of Gnuplot works with both formats without requiring you to specify a column-separator. Note that the columns in the first file are separated by whitespace, and the columns in the second file are separated by commas (a CSV file). The examples below use the following 2-column and 4-column data files: You can find more information about the need for this new brew command at this SO link. Please select a terminal with 'set terminal'. WARNING: Plotting with an 'unknown' terminal. You’ll know that you need that command if you get this error message when you try to run a plot command inside the gnuplot command line: Note that with OS X Yosemite (10.10.x) I had to use this brew command instead: To get started, you can use MacPorts or Homebrew to install Gnuplot on Mac OS X systems: If you haven’t used it before, it’s an amazing tool for creating graphs and charts. I needed to use Gnuplot a little bit over the last few days, mostly to create 2D line charts, and these are my brief notes on how to get started with Gnuplot.

Dsp quattro not playing12/15/2023 “Internal clipping” (cumulative audio too loud) causes dropouts in playback. Begin by changing the playback buffer in Midi/Audio>Audio Units Banks and Effects>Device Setup>Audio Setup> The default playback buffer in Audio settings may not be high enough. It’s possible to change the balance within the drum kit in Midi/Audio>Audio Units Banks and Effects>Bank>Edit Aria Player> Select Drum Slot>Instrument Controls Fix your Drum Mix in Finale Set the Playback Buffer to the maximum value ► I’ve found that the internal mix in Finale drum kits tend to be heavy on the bass drum and light on the cymbals. ( headroom is the space between your track’s maximum level and the maximum possible, or “0db’) It’s better to leave some acoustic “headroom” for your initial levels – make everything a bit quieter than you like, leaving room for crescendi and ffff’s. Do it with BanksĪnother solution would be to move Instruments to a new bank, with “too loud” instruments assigned to a new bank, and “too quiet” instruments to another, then adjust the bank’s volume using Midi/Audio>Audio Units Banks and Effects> Bank Volume slider. I’m finding that a velocity of at least 100 (which would be ff in the score) sounds like a “normal” playback level.Īnother solution would be to create another set of Dynamics expressions for use in drums only, and boost the values by 35 for each one. The default velocity for score note entries is 64, which would be mp (no wonder it’s inaudible). Finale drums have a really wide dynamic range depending on Velocity. Some default instruments are way too quiet – drum kits in particular – and some are too loud, particularly some plucked strings (such as Ukelele and Mandolin), and solo (vs “section”) woodwind player samples.Ī good solution for drums is to assign your desired dynamic in the score, so it shows up in the part correctly – but then, override it for Finale playback with the Midi Tool. Some instruments are out of balance, even with the same dynamic marking in score When you find yourself adding unusual dynamic markings (“pppp” when everybody else is “mf”) in an attempt to balance the instruments in a score, it’s time to revisit your “starting” balance. Start by opening Window>Mixer, and get basic levels with the faders. Mix issues with Finale default settings First stop – Mixer Window Let’s take a look at how to address common problems you may encounter, and create the best possible mix in Finale. For those working on larger scores in pursuit of the best possible quality, however, the defaults might not work well. For more information on setup for these libraries, see this article on the Scoring Notes blog: “ Getting Started in Finale with Garritan’s Premium Libraries ”). Midi/Audio>Play Finale Through Audio Units should be selected in order to activate Garritan Instruments for Finale (or Garritan’s premium libraries. For the majority of users, the default settings are adequate. Finale’s audio output has the potential to generate great audio and wonderful-sounding scores for consumers and demos. |
