![]() Next, you make changes to each clip and add customization to presets from the video editor in the properties section at the top right corner beside the preview feed.įurthermore, the AceMovi Video Editor allows you to make more changes to each track on your timeline through the advanced edit option that can be accessed by right-clicking on the track of interest and clicking on advance edit. Simply put, you begin a project by loading the media you want to use onto the editor, arranging them on the timeline by clicking and dragging them there with the features you would like to add like filters, stickers, texts, and others following in the same manner. The scope of this video editing software is reasonably standard featuring a simplified video editing software-esque interface. Again, the entire interface is simple, and you can get acclimated with the AceMovi Video Editor in no time, even without prior knowledge of the video editing. Going further to the central preview screen where you see your video come together, there is the properties tab where you can tweak the video, audio, and color settings for each track on your timeline at the bottom of the editor. However, like some of the features here, there are 34 presets available but you can adjust them as you want. Split screen: As the name implies, the last tool here is to split your screen up to six different parts with different ratios available.Regional: This is meant for making edits in specific areas of your videos like blurring out something you don’t want to be seen or blowing up the part you want people to focus on.Animation: You will be able to pick from different animations and motions to add to your videos by clicking on this.Transitions: Again, you have 32 transitions in the app library to choose from.Effects: Here is where you add filters and overlays to your video.You have 25 background music and 37 sound effects to choose from on the video editor. Audio: You can add preset background music or sound effects here. ![]()

![]() Image: Ebet Roberts / Redfernsĭuring the days of Hüsker Dü, Mould didn’t have the money for a Gibson Flying V. Combining the collectability of KISS memorabilia with the appeal of Gibson products seems to be a win-win for both parties. For now, though, the guitarist seems content with Washburn. However, because it lacked the classic Gibson arrow-shaped headstock, many didn’t like it.Īs more and more artists return to Gibson, perhaps it’s time Stanley did the same. The electric version sports a mirrored pickguard and a single humbucker in the bridge, and is modelled after the Gibson that Stanley played in KISS in the 1970s. Washburn has produced several signature Flying Vs for Paul Stanley, including a curious acoustic version with a star-shaped bridge in 2012. With Priest’s replacement for KK Downing, Richie Faulkner, getting a run of Gibson signature Vs, it’s fair to say that Downing deserves his own solo signature too. The Gibson Custom Shop did produce KK Downing signature Vs in 2005 but they were sold only as part of a collector’s boxset with Glenn Tipton signature SGs, and only 30 were made. But it’s the guitar Hinds has been using on the band’s latest material, including the 2021 album Hushed and Grim, that we think deserves the signature treatment. Image: Miikka Skaffari / FilmMagicĮpiphone released a signature run with Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds, who has long favoured the V, in 2016. Given the recent lawsuit, the Nashville brand might want to give the younger Schenker brother his own signature Gibson V, and reclaim one of the paint jobs that inspired so many people to pick up the model in the first place. Michael got a signature V from Dean in 2004, based on the Gibson model he had been playing for the majority of his career. Older brother Rudolf Schenker got his signature Gibson Flying V in 2013 but Michael has yet to get the same, with Gibson anyway. The mirrored black-and-white paint job of Michael Schenker’s V is often replicated but never by Gibson. King also received another V in 1987 – a custom archtop version built by Tom Holmes and commissioned by Billy Gibbons, who gave it to King for his 64th birthday. Albert’s second version of his guitar, which he called Lucy, was built by Dan Erlewine and featured white binding on a walnut body, with a Les Paul-style headstock. ![]() In the mid-1970s Petersen Industries introduced the first grapple truck for municipal waste collection. Since that time there has been little dramatic change, although there have been various improvements to the compaction mechanisms to improve payload. The 1970s also saw the introduction of smaller dumpsters, often known as wheelie bins, which were also emptied mechanically. They did not become common until the 1970s. In 1955 the Dempster Dumpmaster, the first front loader, was introduced. This was made possible by use of a hydraulic press which periodically compacted the contents of the truck. The first compactor could double a truck's capacity. In 1938, the Garwood Load Packer revolutionized the industry when including a compactor in the truck was implemented. His containers were known as Dumpsters, which led to the word dumpster entering the language. In 1937, George Dempster invented the Dempster-Dumpster system in which wheeled waste containers were mechanically tipped into the truck. It used a cable system that could pull waste into the truck. A more efficient model was the development of the hopper in 1929. The first technique developed in the late 1920s to solve this problem was to build round compartments with corkscrews that would lift the load and bring it away from the rear. The main difficulty was that the waste collectors needed to lift the waste to shoulder height. These covered trucks were first introduced in more densely populated Europe and then in North America, but were soon used worldwide. The 1920s saw the first open-topped trucks being used, but due to foul odors and waste falling from the back, covered vehicles soon became more common. Among the first self-propelled garbage trucks were those ordered by Chiswick District Council from the Thornycroft Steam Wagon and Carriage Company in 1897 described as a steam motor tip-car, a new design of body specific for "the collection of dust and house refuse". Wagons and other means had been used for centuries to haul away solid waste. ![]() ![]() History Thornycroft Steam Dust-Cart of 1897 with tipper body These trucks are a common sight in most urban areas. Technical names include waste collection vehicle and refuse collection vehicle (RCV). Other common names for this type of truck include trash truck in the United States, and refuse truck, dustcart, junk truck, bin wagon or bin van elsewhere. ![]() dustbin lorry, rubbish lorry or bin lorry is commonly used. In Australia they are commonly called rubbish trucks, or garbage trucks, while in the U.K. A Garbage Truck Peterbilt In Los Angeles A Scania front loaderĪ garbage truck is a truck specially designed to collect municipal solid waste and transport it to a solid waste treatment facility, such as a landfill, recycling center or transfer station.

I know it’s easier to take the time to post a complaint than a compliment… especially since it’s their job to make the least amount of interruptions in our daily routines. Same level of service and great drivers as far as we are concerned. Athens also happens to be the provider to the City my two businesses are in. I think most parents would agree that if someone can put a smile on your kids’ faces… they’re worth something in my book. My kids love when the trash gets picked up… probably because of the giant truck, but every time they rush out there, the driver greets them with a big smile and wave, and even sometimes a nice salutation. We have never had a problem with them… actually, the drivers have been so amazing. and Athens has always been our service provider. I’ve lived in a condo community for almost 13 years. Based on this experience, I’m giving Athens 5/5 stars! Thank you to the Athens team and their drivers, who did not complain when they picked up all the trash in the bin and enclosure. By 2 p.m., our building engineer reported that the extra bin we requested was also delivered. I said YES and told him that we appreciated all the help he provided us that day. The original Athens representative followed up with a call to make sure the job had been completed. When the driver and his companion left, we had an empty bin and a clean trash enclosure. He assured me that trash from the bin and everything that had accumulated in the enclosure would all be picked up. At lunch time, the truck from Athens arrived! We warned the driver that there was a lot of trash in the enclosure. He listened to my concerns, and said he would make calls to the right department to make sure our trash would be picked up that day. I reached out to Athens in the morning to inform them of the problem, and received a call back from an Athens representative. My complex was transitioning from another hauler to Athens, and we had some issues with pickup that were quite frustrating. ![]() ![]() That means checking the PC is connected either via a LAN cable or wirelessly, and checking to make sure the Steam Deck is connected to the same network and not in flight mode.

We'd love your comments in the comments section below.Īs this is a lengthy guide, you can jump to the individual categories using the jump links below We've updated this article with many new aircraft, scenery packs, and utilities (and even helicopters!) for December 2023. If you like the videos, please subscribe to us on YouTube. In fact, some users simply refer to this release as FS2020.Īlso, many (mostly all) of the add-ons listed below have exclusive Fly Away Simulation preview videos included with them so you can see them in action within the simulator. In this guide, we use the terms "MSFS" and "Microsoft Flight Simulator" interchangeably but they mean the same thing - the new flight simulator released by Microsoft in August 2020. This article is updated often as updates and new mods are released so be sure to bookmark this page. Here we cover some of the best releases in our complete guide below which have been thoroughly tested and hand-picked. These freeware releases – by definition – cost nothing to download and use, but users should not be fooled into thinking there is a dramatic drop-off in quality, or what they have to offer. Based on brand-new hardware and software technology, it brings at-home flight simulation up to a whole new level. And, there have been many freeware add-ons and mods that have been made available for it since its release. So I’m rebuilding it from scratch right now, and incorporating the lessons learned to make it better this time around.Without a doubt, Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 is one of the most exciting flight simulators ever released. In particular, it’s very not-square which means various parts are uneven (you can see this if you look closely) and I made it using a base frame (which was itself a mistake) and I had to use much thicker wood for that than I planned due to supply issues and so it’s super-heavy… far too heavy. It’s very compromised in terms of design and build. However… despite all the work I put into this, I really don’t like it. The iPad Mini you can see in its ‘dock’ is there to put Air Manager panels etc on, but also I can unplug it and use it as a scratchpad for Foreflight etc. The flap lever and spoiler lever are also Thrustmaster parts and one Thrustmaster TQ has to be connected for them to work, so when I’m using the VirtualFly TQ6 for piston or turboprops I just drop the Thrustmaster TQ into the body of the pedestal where it can’t be seen, and change the controller profile to deactivate the thrust levers etc. Lastly I added a kind of poor man’s J-rails that lets me move the seat left and right for clearance when I am getting into the seating position as otherwise it’s very, very tight with my pedestal.Īnd in the image I posted above, I’ve mounted my VirtualFly TQ6 in the space where the Thrustmaster TQ is in that photo. ![]() Then I rebuilt the base, adding a car seat adjustment rack so I could adjust it backwards and forwards. Eventually I got rid of the seat and bought a gaming-style office chair that I thought looked nice, and I removed the seat pan from it and fastened that down to my DIY base, which by now was fixed in place. I still had my old racing seat and I built a new base for that and used that free-standing for a while. ![]() Those never really got used in anger, though, as that particular project died when I moved house and the seats were too bulky and heavy to take with me. In my cockpit design at the time that was the way to get in. ![]() Then I bought a pair of old car seats, specifically from an SUV-style vehicle which had the capability to rotate through 180 degrees to face backwards. It was a racing-style bucket seat and it was OK for a few years. Way back when, I had a pre-built seat from one of those ‘racing / cockpit’ seat-and-frame combos you can buy on the internet. I’ve never gone to the lengths of entirely fabricating my own seats, though it’s certainly within the range of the average DIYer depending on how complicated you want to get. I’ve taken multiple approaches over the years. ![]() For years I thought that Reason & Recycle had the sample game on smash. Again, I haven’t used the latest version of Reason, but automation in their older versions wasn’t easy or intuitive. And even more impressive is the fact that everything about automation in Ableton is intuitive and easy to learn. The ability to automate program changes and map midi controllers in Ableton is second to none. Reason was great for what I was doing, but now that I’m messing with Ableton, I’m not sure I could go back to that sequencer. It has the most in-depth features of any program I have ever seen. Now as far as what’s possible? In my opinion, there is nothing you can think of that cannot be done with Ableton’s sequencer. Now I understand the clip view even more and look forward to using it in a live setting in the future. Then I realized that I can use the arrangement view in the exact same way I did with Reason and I was right back on track. This is the “Live” part of Ableton Live–the clips allow Ableton to be used to create dynamic sequencing whether that be in a live setting or when creating a track at home.Īs a long-time Reason user, Ableton’s clip view threw me off at first. You can create clips in slots and trigger them in any sequence you want. The clip view is different and truthfully is what sets Ableton Live apart from other programs. Arrangement view is no different than the left to right linear sequencing that Reason and other programs use. It actually has two ways you can arrange a track: arrangement and clip. Ableton, on the other hand, is dramatically different because of the addition of clips. You lay out parts of a track on a timeline that moves left to right this is often referred to as “song mode.” This is the basic setup for the majority of software sequencers and most people get this. ![]() The difference lies in the fact that Reason’s sequencing is linear. Sequencing is the biggest difference to me between the two programs, and one that can be the biggest turn off for new users of Ableton Live. In short, Reason is great for analog/traditional instruments, but Ableton is great for digital instruments. I could get more into this, but in the interest of avoiding too much nerdiness I will leave it at that. It comes with a ton of digital instruments that can be tuned on a level that Reason 4.0 doesn’t allow. If you are an electronic musician or just a regular musician with a firm grasp of the basic concepts of synthesis, then Ableton is perfect. What Ableton lacks in traditional instruments, it makes up for in it’s support of synthesis. I just know it would be nice to open up the default version of Ableton, load up a simple grand piano, and start playing it.īut this brings me to the second difference. I kept asking myself, why doesn’t a good basic piano come with this program? How hard is it to make one? I don’t know. As a guy that composes a lot in piano, that really turned me off to Ableton. If you want those instruments in Ableton Live you better be ready to buy the deluxe version or go hunting for VSTs. In Reason, their defaults for these instruments sound great and you can use them right out the box, with pretty much no tuning or modification. ![]() ![]() For example, default presets for strings, piano, and horns are missing. Also, Ableton seems to put a much heavier emphasis on synthesizers, as opposed to traditional instruments. In terms of philosophy, Ableton’s approach seems to be that they will setup an instrument, but you have to understand everything about that instruments qualities so you can tune it to sound right. When it comes to the default instruments that come with Reason and Ableton, these programs couldn’t be more different. I’ve only been using Ableton Live for two months, and clearly that is not enough time to master the program either. I’ve been using Reason for seven or eight years, but there were a lot of things I never learned or used in the program. I would also like to preface this by saying that I am not a master at either program. My concern is that getting too technical will turn it into something that only few people can understand, so this post will just speak about the pros and cons of each program. As one would expect, there are a lot of technical differences between the two programs–most of which would be too nerdy/technical to write about here–but I would like to speak about the differences between the two programs at a really high level. Since switching my production from Reason 4.0 over to Ableton Live 8.0 a couple of months ago, I’ve been asked by quite a few people to explain the biggest differences are between the two programs. |
