Here is a wiring diagram of the E-MU 0202.
Note the funny connector for the Left channel line input. It will accept an XLR mic level input jack or a 1/4" mono line level phone plug. A pair of 1/8" mono to 1/4" mono cables are needed to connect from LP-PAN to the EMU. Radio Shack part #42-2433 is perfect for the job, or you can "roll your own". You can use stereo plugs at the LP-PAN side if you make your own, but wire them for mono. On the EMU side, don't use stereo plugs, as they can get hung up in the funny connector and damage it.
Note also that the E-MU needs USB 2.0 to work at 192 kHz. Below is a link to a copy of the last release version of the E-MU USB driver. Warning! When installing this driver, the control panel is also updated as well as the firmware in the E-MU hardware. The new firmware may be incompatible with some E-MU 0202s. Creative is aware of this. The driver only supports XP, XP64, Vista and Vista 64. It should work with E-MU 0202 and Tracker Pre. I don't think it will work with the 0204.
If you have the 0204, you will have to use the driver that came with the sound card. Creative does not have the current driver posted anywhere, but there is a guy on the LP-PAN User Group who has a copy that can be downloaded. Try querying the group about this, or search the archives.
The input pots on the E-MU should be set at or about 11 o'clock to start with, and both set to the same level.
Install E-MU 0202/0204 USB sound card per the material that was supplied with the card.
Note the funny connector for the Left channel line input. It will accept an XLR mic level input jack or a 1/4" mono line level phone plug. A pair of 1/8" (3.5mm) mono to 1/4" mono cables are needed to connect from LP-PAN to the EMU. Radio Shack part #42-2433 is perfect for the job, or you can "roll your own". You can use stereo plugs at the LP-PAN side if you make your own, but wire them for mono. On the EMU side, don't use stereo plugs, as they can get hung up in the funny connector and damage it. The two "ground lift" switches on the bottom of the E-MU should always be in the same position, preferably in the OFF position. This will enhance the sound card's ability to reject hum and noise pickup due to ground loops.
Note also that the E-MU needs USB 2.0 to work at 192 kHz. It is wise to download the latest driver from the E-MU website. Below is a link to the E-MU 0202 sound card page on the TelePost webite. It shows proper PowerSDR/IF sound card settings for the 0202, and has a link to the latest E-MU driver. Settings for NaP3 can be found on the NaP3 page.
Important under Windows 7 or Vista : If you are using Windows 7, and wish to use the E-MU 0204 with programs that don't support the ASIO driver, such as CW-Skimmer, you will need to set up the E-MU in the "Recording Devices" tab of the Windows sound mixer. Please right click on the speaker icon of the task-bar: a pop-up menu will appear. Select the Recording devices submenu and a new Sound form will pop up. Click on the recording device you are using, and then click on the Properties button. Click the Advanced tab and under Default Format, select the highest sample rate and resolution that you will use with your sound card (typically 24bits/192000Hz for an EMU202, EMU1212m and Quartet); close the sound form. Now, please configure your sound card using the utility provided with your driver (i.e the EMU or Quartet control panel) and configure it for the same settings. Click on the Levels tab abd set the recording level to 2.
It is wise to never power down the E-MU independently of the PC, since it will probably try to start back up with 48 kHz sampling rate. It draws very little power, and can be left on all the time. Make sure that the power management in the PC doesn't power down the USB port when the PC is asleep or standby.
One happy discovery that might help eliminate some E-MU 0204 USB soundcard driver angst for Win 7 64 bit users: Windows 7 64 bit has an E-MU driver resident in the operating system. This driver will *not* automatically install when the 0204 card is first plugged in, but is easily installed from Device Manager via the Update Driver utility. Win 7 will find the driver and install the 0204 card in about 5 seconds. The driver does not seem to have a graphical user interface, but works fine on my system with NaP3 for sampling rates up to 192K. This driver is dated 11-12-2010 and is version 6.6.1.1 by Creative Labs. Follow Larry's instructions for defaulting the sample rate to 192 K in Windows mixer setup and set the output to something other than the EMU 0204 in NaP3 setup and it should work well.
Below is a picture of what the PowerSDR Audio Setup tab should look like for this card. You may or may not need the Expert mode selected. On my older PC, setting a latency of 2ms helped the card start reliably. All other settings should be matched exactly as shown, except "Line In Gain", "Mic In Gain" and "Output Voltage" which are meaningless in the context of LP-PAN.
Note: If you plan to feed a second program, like CW Skimmer at the same time as PowerSDR, you will need to select MME drivers in both programs. With the MME driver, latency should be set to 25ms.
CW Pitch is the setting in the K3. It should also be set in PowerSDR and LP-Bridge to match.
Global Offset is the setting in PowerSDR>Setup>SoftRock IF Stage tab. You will need to fine tune it after the initial setting. Use the default CW filter in the K3 when doing this. Make sure the DSP controls are set to NORmal, as they shift the Skimmer display if not.

Future has seemingly pulled a new project out of thin air.
On Thursday night (July 5), the Freebandz head honcho took to Twitter to reveal the sequel to 2015's Beastmode mixtape —the aptly titled Beastmode 2 — was imminent.
"#BEASTMODE2 MIDNIGHT EST," he wrote.
The project comes shortly after the Future-curated Superfly soundtrack and follows last year's back-to-back releases, Future and HNDRX.
Freebandz affiliate Young Scooter is the project's sole feature. It's executive produced by frequent collaborator Zaytoven and Seth Firkins.

Deathloop Will Use PS5 DualSense Controller For Gun Jams, Haptic Feedback, And More
By Tyler Fields	 Last updated November 24, 2020 6:40 AM
Deathloop, which is coming to PS5 and PC on May 21, 2021, has detailed how it will use the new PlayStation DualSense controller to heighten certain mechanics and the player's sense of immersion. On the PlayStation Blog, Bethesda senior content manager Anne Lewis has explained how the controller will be used to make the experience special.
Deathloop, which is developed by Arkane (Dishonored), will use the controller to make each weapon feel unique. Lewis describes how the PT-6 Spiker, a silenced nailgun, will let you "feel each nail fall into the magazine," and will provide some resistance on the trigger when you fire it. Some weapons can be prone to jamming, too, meaning that the trigger won't let you click all the way in until it's fixed. "Your trigger button will be blocked halfway, giving you instantaneous feedback even before the animation notifies you," Lewis writes.
Haptic feedback will also allow you to feel the difference in texture of surfaces you run, slide, or climb over, and if you take a big fall, you'll feel the thump in your hands.
The controller speaker will also be used to simulate the sounds of bullets whizzing past you, as well as the voices coming from your personal radio. It'll also play sounds from your own weapons, including the click of an empty chamber.
Despite having been sold to Microsoft, Bethesda still has two PS5 exclusives on the horizon–this and Ghostwire: Tokyo. Whether these will be timed exclusives that eventually make their way to Xbox Series X/S remains to be seen.

Located in the center of Sapa, very near to the church and post office, Le Gecko Restaurant has been long a trustworthy destination for tourists whenever they travel to Sapa. With the design of integration between Vietnamese and French architecture and the view on Sapa Park, the restaurant is the great choice to watch local people doing the daily activities while enjoying delicious meals.
Le Gecko itself includes a bar, a hotel and a restaurant. The bar is open during normal business hours, and the restaurant is a wooden traditional H'Mong house with Black Mong decoration. The staff is extremely helpful and all members can speak English fluently.
The restaurant serves both Vietnamese and Western cuisines, and Pizza-sandwiches -pasta are among the most favorites dishes. In addition, Le Gecko also offers daily special $5 meals, including Sapa Soup, spring rolls, principal plate, bowl of rice and dessert. The price of the restaurant is rated as a little bit higher than average.


The design idea behind the open section of MSLOC 430 is this: It's not quite a course, but more than a conversation.
Which means: No need to register or sign up. You are free to participate by choosing your own path (see more below) and joining us for as much or as little as you prefer.
You may wish to join our Google+ Community: MSLOC430 Enterprise Social Networking, which will be the single community-gathering space for discussions. Joining this community may be the best way to find out who else is joining in the activities.
If you do not wish to join the Google+ Community, you may participate by following this blog and the #msloc430 Twitter hashtag.
This blog will be used to post links to resources, activities (i.e. Twitter chats) and discussion prompts. If you did nothing else – you could follow this blog and track progress and have access to whatever resources we create (and we plan to create a couple of Google documents summarizing our findings about the topics we'll cover).
The #msloc430 hashtag will be used for Twitter chats and connecting any interested members of the community.
You have several ways in which to participate. You might be with us during all six weeks. Or four. Or two. The design goal is to provide an outcome during each segment no matter what sequence or configuration you participate in.
Full six weeks – Solve a problem.
You can choose to track along a path similar to the enrolled students in my MSLOC 430 course.
First, share an organizational work or learning challenge for which you would like to develop an innovative solution, based on leveraging enterprise social networking technology. Explore different models of innovative solutions in work and learning during the first four weeks. Then work with us in weeks 5 and 6 to find new combinations of ideas that might address your challenge.
Two week sampler – Explore a new domain.
Weeks 1-2 will be devoted to innovations in education and learning. Weeks 3-4 will focus on innovations in how we work or solve work-related problems. If you know a lot about one but not the other, explore the domain with which you are least familiar.
Know something about any or all of the topics we will cover? Drop in and share your expertise at any point. But be sure to check out the final two weeks when we begin to think about combining ideas in new ways. Expert peer review will help all of us think critically about our ideas – and the discussion may point you to new ideas that you have never before considered.

He managed to fracture both the tibia and fibula of his left leg not a result of a tackle, but rather from an awkward fall after the striker caught his blade boots in the turf.Two years later, unbelievably, he was forced to miss the World Cup finals after shattering his right leg during a pre tournament warm up clash against China.Recovery: If it's possible for there to be a plus side to breaking your leg, it does appear that Cisse is something of a miracle man when it comes to recovering from such blows.

Favorite Quotes from Michael Jordan
As of February 2023, Michael Jordan's net worth is $2.2 Billion.
Michael Jordan is one of the most recognized names in NBA history. He is also known for the endorsement of Nike's Air Jordan and for the movie Space Jam.
Jordan has become known as the most outstanding North American athlete of the 20th century by ESPN. He is now part-owner and head of basketball operations for the Charlotte Bobcats.
Michael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. His family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, when he was a toddler. He was the fourth of five children, with two older brothers, one older sister, and a younger sister.
As a sophomore in high school, he did not make his basketball team due to his height. He focused on other sports that year, such as baseball and football.
In his Junior year, he was 6 foot 3 and made the team. During that year, he earned about 20 points per game. In his senior year, he was selected for the McDonald's All-American Team.
Jordan was first drafted by the NBA team Chicago Bulls in 1984, and in his first season, he helped the team make the playoffs.
He scored an average of 28.2 points per game that season, which led to his NBA Rookie of the Year Award. In the 1986-1987 season, he became the first player in years to score more than 3.000 points in a single season.
Over the next few years, Jordan helped the Bulls win championship after championship. He took a break from the 1993-1994 season for a stint in minor league baseball but returned to the Chicago Bulls in 1995. Upon his return, he came back stronger, averaging 30.4 points that season.
In 1998 Jordan retired after playing fifteen seasons and winning six championships with Chicago Bulls and joined the Washington Wizards as part-owner, returning for the final two seasons from 2001 to 2003.
To this day, Michale Jordan is regarded as an NBA legend and the greatest basketball player in the history of this sport. Former NBA star had a significant role to play in popularizing the NBA around the globe in the 1980s and 1990s.
Jordan is also known as one of the most effectively marketed athletes in the world, with many lucrative endorsement deals. He was responsible for the immense success of Nike's Jordan brand, which includes the popular to this day Air Jordan sneakers. It's the Nike royalties that amount to 5% on every Air Jordan shoe sold that heavily contributed to Michael Jordan's net worth.
Over the years, NBA legend Michael Jordan had many successful endorsements, including such brands as Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Chevrolet, Upper Deck, and Hanes.
The basketball player was also a star of the "Space-Jam" hit movie, where he played himself. In 2000, the IMAX documentary about Jordan's career in Bulls came out, with a big emphasis on the 1998 NBA playoffs, titled "Michael Jordan to the Max." Jordan had more recent successes in the film industry, for example, with his documentary miniseries The Last Dance (2020).
In 2006 Jordan bought a majority of the stake in the Charlotte Bobcats (now named Hornets) and joined as its managing member. His priority is to improve the team's stats, and he does not anticipate leaving the basketball business.
Jordan's post-basketball career outside of the court includes 23XI Racing – a professional auto racing organization that is owned by Jordan, as well as Denny Hamlin. In their NASCAR team, they selected Bubba Wallace as their driver.
It's worth mentioning that Jordan has also been an active philanthropist. From 2001 to 2014, he hosted the annual golf tournament, the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational, which raised funds for various charitable causes.
In 2006 Jordan and his wife pledged $5 million to Chicago's Hales Franciscan High School. The Jordan Brand also made some considerable donations to Habitat for Humanity, as well as Louisiana's Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
Jordan's activity in The Make-A-Wish Foundation is also a noticeable one. Jordan was named Chief Wish Ambassador in 2008. In 2013 he granted his 200th wish. Up until now, he raised more than $5 million for the foundation.
It's easy to see how Michael Jordan is one of the highest-paid athletes and NBA players to this day. In June 2014, Jordan was named the first NBA player to become a billionaire after he increased his shares in Charlotte Hornets. Forbes estimated that Jordan Brand generates around $1 billion of profits for Nike each year.
In 2021 Forbes estimated that Michael Jordan's net worth rose to $1.6 billion. This makes Famer Michael Jordan one of the wealthiest African-Americans in the US. And he's one of the most beloved ones too.
His popularity spreads from the strong presence of Nike's Jordan Brand on the market through popular Internet meme, ending on still very much iconic basketball career that landed him a place in the NBA's Hall of Fame.
As of February 2023, Michael Jordan is one of the richest athletes in the world, with a net worth of $2.2 Billion.

Q: Помогите с проблемой при перезаписывании элемента в массиве C++ Вот задание: В вещественном массиве X=(x1,x2,...,xn) каждую пару x[i] и x[j] (i,j=1,...,n; i<>j) отрицательных элементов преобразовать в положительные элементы по формуле x[i],x[j]:=sqrt(x[i]*x[j]). Пары элементов (i,j) выбирать в порядке их следования в массиве X.

so I grabbed a new sketchbook to start my journey and doodled.
I used oil pastels, watercolors, and sharpie marker and then I scanned it and opened it in Photoshop and altered it four ways and pasted them together. Here is the result. The one in the upper right corner is the original.
As I was doodling, I listened to an interview with Jafabrit on Dirty Footprints Studio Talk. I like to keep both sides of my brain busy.
What a beautiful sky I awoke to the day before yesterday. The old sailors saying, "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning" couldn't have applied to the rest of that day. It was a calm day, but yesterday, on the other hand was wildly windy. I could hear trees cracking and falling in our forest and trees were down on our road. Thankfully, they were not blocking the road.
I got a little work done before I had to go to town. One piece is a copper necklace that I have had the components of for several months, but just didn't take the time to assemble it until today. I've been having a little trouble getting inspired lately, and I thought if I finished those little unfinished projects lying around that it would free my mind to create.
The other is another of my fused glass pendants made into a beaded necklace.
Also, last night I watched "Craft In America" a three part series made for PBS about the artists, origins, and techniques of American crafts. It was a beautifully filmed, inspiring documentary. I think that watching this will kick start my creativity and make me more focused on craftsmanship. It is available through Netflix.
I just added some new pieces to my Etsy shop. They are kind of all over the place when it comes to style and materials. I just do what strikes my fancy at the moment.
I also just discovered that Cynthia Korzekwa mentioned and linked to my Medals for Everyday People on her Art For Housewives blog. It is in her January 31 post. I think that she lives in Italy. Her site always has the most interesting plethora of links to art using recycled materials. I have been following her blog for several years. Thanks Cynthia!
Last evening, I had the pleasure of attending a gallery show entitled, Revisited: an exhibition of works by retired Middle Tennessee State University art faculty. One of the artists is my uncle David LeDoux, and two of the others were instructors of mine while I was going to school there. Here are a few of David's paintings. Please excuse the glare from the lights. My pictures don't do justice to the vibrant colors. For contact information you may go to his Thistle Hill website.
Another of the artists is Klaus Kallenberger, who was my metals instructor for silversmithing and enameling. He had a few pieces of his silver jewelry and some small intricate sculptures on display, but says that he no longer does much metal work because it is so hard on one's hands. He now focuses on quilting. Here are two of his beautifully complex quilts. His quilts have been displayed at the Nashville International Airport and other galleries.
Ollie Fancher was one of the other artists and he was my graphic design teacher. He wasn't at the reception, but there were two of his mixed media drawings on display. Unfortunately, they were under glass and I couldn't get a good photo because of the glare.
I also had the pleasure of renewing an acquaintance with Elder Jones who does wonderful concrete sculptures. I had met him at a craft fair at Centennial Park in Nashville several years ago and I found out last night that he is a neighbor of my aunt and uncle. Small world. I learned about his work before I met him, in the book Creating With Concrete by Sherrie Warner Hunter, who is also a Tennessee artist. Check out his website Sand Pudding to see his work. I am hoping to be able to take one of his workshops this summer. I think that would be a blast!


The United States Army awarded BAE systems a contract worth up to $434 million to develop a system that integrates night vision capability and thermal targeting sights onto soldiers' goggles.
The joint project calls for the BAE to work with the Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate to create a night vision riflescope that transmits video to a linked set of wearable goggles.
"Under the US Army's Enhanced Night Vision Goggle III and Family of Weapon Sight-Individual (ENVG III/FWS-I) program, BAE Systems is currently qualifying and initiating production of the integrated night vision targeting solution for deployment to the field," BAE said in a statement.
Currently, a soldier at night spots a target with night vision goggles and then separately locks in on it with the thermal sight on the rifle.
With ENVG III/FWS-I, the idea is to give soldiers a combination night vision and thermal imaging system that not only allows them to quickly spot and engage targets in all weather and lighting conditions, but also to remotely aim their weapons without looking through the sights.
"On today's battlefield, this slower [two optic] approach, which is often further hampered by heavy smoke or bad weather, compromises soldiers' safety and can reduce mission effectiveness," the BAE release reads.
"By integrating night vision and thermal targeting capabilities into one sight displayed on the soldiers' goggles, BAE Systems' new solution allows troops to more easily acquire targets and engage faster."
The rifle-mounted optic will use a Bluetooth connection to beam images to a head-mounted display, allowing a soldier to quickly toggle between the two modes at the push of a button.
The contract given to BAE Systems for the ENVG III/FWS-I solution is for five years and carries a value of as much as $434 million. An initial order worth $35 million has already been placed.


The new unit will identify and incubate content for the Fox network and its third-party platforms.
Berman's (pictured) remit will include scripted and unscripted programming meant to compliment and work alongside Fox's existing slate. Fox will retain ownership of all series that originate under the SideCar banner.
Berman was president of Paramount Pictures from 2005 to 2007 and was Fox's entertainment president for five years before that.
She is currently chairman and CEO of the Jackal Group, a production studio she founded that works on scripted and unscripted content. The Jackal Group is a co-venture with Fox Networks Group.
"Charlie's innovative, intelligent approach and operational track record is a winning combo, and there is no one better to lead the charge at the reimagined Fox. With Fox Entertainment, he is ultimately delivering content creators with an environment where they can develop fresh material, and deliver audiences with high quality options across platforms," added Berman.


The beginning of the end of the earthworks. We decided to make use of the JCB to dig trenches for new water pipe and electrical conduit – much easier to do when there's nothing in the way!
The overgrown leylandii hedge at the back completely dominated the garden, and pretty much cut it in two.
… we have our work cut out for us in the coming year!

Surachai – Form Volume II
Form Volume II by Surachai
Form Volume II consists of four archived performances and four new recordings. Form Volume II can be found on Bandcamp. The vinyl is shipping out around December 16th, 2014. Since most time, effort, and money went into the physical product – I'll start there and work backwards.
As a response to the deluxe presentation of Ritual and because Form Volume II wasn't supposed to exist, I decided to keep the theme of non-existence with the vinyl and artwork by calling it the Void Presentation. Firstly: there is no artwork. The vinyl is clear and with no center sticker making it an entirely transparent vinyl record. Again, the record is pressed at GottaGroov Records. The transparent information card was manufactured by Offbeat Press and the reference I gave them was the winning ticket to Fhloston Paradise from The Fifth Element. The clear jacket is also clear and originally intended for picture discs. If you're not looking for this album, you're not going to find it – basically its a marketing nightmare.
Pre-Master & Mastering
Because all tracks were recorded in single takes to stereo or mono tracks and mixing was performed on the fly, the results were raw, hugely dynamic, and sometimes lackluster. All tracks were mixed afterwords and pre-mastered with the Thermionic Culture Vulture Super 15 with a couple dynamic processing UAD plug-ins. I turned these pre-master versions into Shawn Hatfield of Audible Oddities to officially master the album and tame the inconsistencies between the tracks while preserving the dynamics.
"In general, I used all the different input/output transformer stages on my gear, driven just enough to saturate a little. Dave Hill Titans were used to add weight and body, Knif Vari-Mu II mid/side compression to glue things together and further enhance the stereo information followed by a BAX EQ to help open things up a little more where needed. And I also ran them through some custom op amps built around a 1970's design that impart a smooth character." – Shawn Hatfield of Audible Oddities.
Despite the length of time between recordings, the recording sessions were almost identical to each other: construct a patch, tweak the patch anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 weeks, record the patch, keep the 1st or 23rd take. There were no limitations of modules used and as you can tell in the videos, there were plenty – although the last track is using only one module.
Form Volume II is not supposed to exist. The album started with Aaron Funk requesting source audio files from a few Form session videos. That was an easy ask: track down the sessions folders, zip up a few bounced files, and send them over Dropbox – that should have been the end of the transaction. But this small request spiraled into obsession to the point where I found myself finishing an album I hadn't known I was working on for more than two years – in the mountains of Tennessee. The first four tracks were previously recorded from June, 2012 to August, 2014 in Chicago and the last four tracks were recorded in a weekend with Richard Devine and his live system in Tellico Plains, Tennessee in August, 2014.
I'm writing this a day before the official release and am confused after looking at Bandcamp's best seller's column for electronic vinyl. Currently, Make Noise Records: Shared System Series – Surachai 7" is number 1 and Form Volume II is in third place. What does this mean? For Make Noise Records, its makes a bit of sense – We've released some of the top names in experimental music on our short 5 record, 2 year stint and mine being the last, the momentum is expected. As for Form Volume II, for me, its incomprehensible at best. I haven't utilized active PR for the past 3 vinyl releases and am constantly hopping labels and switching musical styles. The only thing I can think of is that I know who you all are. I order, assemble, pack and ship the vinyl to you and that must mean something. Whatever it is, thank you for all the support over the years.

Ritual by Surachai
After several years of creating complex arrangements and aurally dense albums, I decided to simplify the tools and work with its impact on composition and sound. One of my favorite synthesizers is the semi-modular Cwejman S1 MKII and knew that it was complex enough to shape all the sounds I needed for an album. The Cwejman's architecture is familiar to existing 3 oscillator systems but its semi-modular nature, filters, envelopes, and even distortion are completely unique. Although using only one sound source simplified the sound I believe Ritual is, frequency wise, the heaviest album I have made.
The signal chain was short. Cwejman S1 MKII output > Eventide Space > RME Fireface UC. The Cwejman was sequenced by the Make Noise RENE. The Dynaverb algorithm in the Eventide Space was the only reverb model used, except 20 (00) where a Tip Top Audio Z5000 delay preset was utilized. The album was tracked into Logic X and like my previous albums, everything was recorded into one large session but this time only 4 tracks were used.
Sync & Editing
Sync was placed by hand – not quantized on a grid or snapped to a BPM. A drifting master clock might be considered "charming" or give the album "personality" but it presented an unnecessary task of syncing audio files that would eventually sound like a train wreck if not reorganized. Although the drifting was unintended, by the end, I grew fond of this quirk, at points, and let some parts go their own way.
The editing, like the clock source, is pretty rough and raw. You can hear cables being pulled out, patched in, crackling knobs, and ground hum – all things I decided to leave in. There are a couple tracks where the computer was not able to handle the buffer size while recording and it resulted in audio files corrupted with a dynamic static effect. While these static infested files were immediately re-recorded cleanly, I ended up using the static files as it added an accidental texture. The most obvious example of this static is all over 03 (06).
Unlike past albums, I didn't dwell on the mix for very long – hell, I didn't even EQ anything! Because of the unique and versatile filters in the Cwejman S1 MKII, I was able to carve out unwanted frequencies during the recording process and simply had to automate volume changes in post. The bass in the Cwejman is very intense, and even with proper monitoring, I didn't understand its depth until I went to Richard Devine's studio that has subs. His system revealed frequencies I didn't know existed in the recordings until monitoring on his system. I decided to leave all this extra information for Shawn Hatfield to play with.
The mastering duties were conducted by Shawn Hatfield of Audible Oddities. My biggest concern was keeping the Cwejman envelope aggression as well as the intense bass frequencies. The references I sent Shawn was Raime's Quarter Turns Over a Living Line and Grischa Lichtenberger's And IV (Inertia). As always, he glued it all together, didn't compromise the mix and extended its volume slightly.
"The thing I loved most about mastering this record was all the rich warm sounds that are unmistakably analog and the seemingly wild nature that comes with modular systems. In mastering these songs for vinyl, it was important to try and convey that as naturally as possible, but with modular systems, things can get unruly pretty fast, and vinyl can complain when it's unhappy. I found FabFilter's ProMB a very useful tool for this particular project as I was able to control just the specific aspects that needed control, without getting in the way of the rest of the spectrum. This helped me tame the beasts within, giving them a more balanced end result while maintaining as much of their natural character as possible. Because they had a nice organic feel from the start, I didn't feel the need to blanket them with additional colors. I went in with clinical tools designed for transparent surgery, and made sure things like excessive treble were in check and low-frequency phase information was centered. But more importantly, we opted for a lower overall level, allowing for clear punchy transients that help the music be felt, not just heard." – Shawn Hatfield of Audible Oddities Mastering
For my previous albums I've worked with some of my favorite artists that I'm fortunate enough to call friends and Ritual was no different. I've followed Emilie Elizabeth's photography for years and have always admired her style, sets, and aesthetic. John Crawford was involved throughout the process and provided his post production expertise that helped the images reach another level of unsettling. John also created the Waveform Gate which is an altered Necronomicon Gate Key with the 7 waveforms of the Cwejman S1 – one of many subtle and original touches this team obsessed over. They made me a bit uncomfortable by asking for my input so often. This is an abbreviated version of Emilie's responses, the full length article can be found: Surachai.org.
"John and I are typically hired to do more commercial work, despite the fact our personal taste is not very commercial. Projects like this allow me to combine the last 10 years of experience as professional photographer with some of the experimentation that I've greatly missed.
At some point in our image research, we began to focus on still life paintings from the "Vanitas" style of the 16 and 17th centuries. John's been really into H.P. Lovecraft lately, so that was a major influence. We were also leaning towards the idea of incorporating alchemy somehow, especially considering the name of the project.
We're both really, really happy with the way the shots turned out. We were both challenged in ways we didn't expect to be, which I believe is the best way to evolve as an artist. However, I'm a little surprised at our inability to work a few cats into the photos. Next time… and probably several times after that." – Emilie Elizabeth
The Shawn Hatfield mastered files were sent to Roger Seibel of SAE Mastering to create lacquers. The lacquers were then sent to Mastercraft to be metal plated. The metal plates were then sent to GottaGroove who are currently pressing vinyl and printing the jackets. The vinyl release of Ritual is the intended way to experience the album for several reasons but here are the obvious three.
1) Sound. The vinyl mastered files were mastered at 24bit, 48kHz and at a volume that keeps the dynamic range of the Cwejman true. You won't be able to hear this range with the digital downloads as we opted to make this version louder rather than dynamic. They both sound great and will push any sound system to its limits, but my preference is the vinyl edition that showcases the Cwejman's aggression.
2) Artwork. The artwork, and I believe most artwork, is meant to be experienced on a large scale and physically if possible. So much attention to detail went into the artwork that when you see it up close, you'll pick up on a few things…
3) Tip-On Style Gatefold Jacket. The moment this record is in your hands, you'll notice the difference. The jackets are heavy, sturdy, and tough as shit.
"Tip-On jackets were the standard format of record jacket printing up until the late 1970's / early 1980's. Today, they are typically considered a deluxe form of packaging for records. However, ironically, I have been told by folks involved in manufacturing records in the 1980's that tip-ons were actually considered the low-class option back then; and that direct-to-board was the form of print bands strived for on their releases.
In modern vinyl pressing, the tip-ons are definitely a step up over the tip-ons of the 1970's. For ours, we use a very thick 30pt stock core. I find that the extreme stiffness of the board provides an aesthetically pleasing "feel" when handling the package and a lot more protection for the records when mailing them.
I know that tip-ons are unlikely to ever become the standard again for most record packages, but I do hope that as more people become aware of their availability, we will see more of them in the marketplace. Being a record consumer myself, I always find more enjoyment when buying a record when it is clear that there was a lot of extra steps taken in the manufacturing and the packaging." – Matt Earley from GottaGroove Records

For my previous albums I've worked with some of my favorite visual artists that I'm fortunate enough to call friends and Ritual was no different. I've followed Emilie Elizabeth's photography for years and have always admired her style, sets, and aesthetic. John Crawford was also involved throughout the process and provided his post production expertise that helped the images reach another level of unsettling. Honestly, they made me a bit uncomfortable by asking for my input so often. Here is Emilie Elizabeth's interview in its entirety about how the artwork for Ritual was created. – Surachai.
Initial Instructions
Surachai hit me up back in December to see if I was interested in shooting something with a "minimalistic black/white occult" feel after seeing the images I shot for DJMREX and the photos for Skinny Puppy I worked on with John Crawford. Surachai sent over some reference images that included various occult-related photography and illustration: figures in cloaks and hoods, illuminati-esque symbols, bizarre Asian illustrations of porn and torture, etc. Pretty much Surachai in a nutshell.
I thought this would be another good opportunity to work with John. He definitely inspires me to experiment and not rely on the same old tricks I've been for the past few years. John and I got together and began putting a few ideas together based some of the recurring themes we saw in the initial reference images. I think Surachai also sent us the music around this time, which was very helpful. The goal was to find a story in all of this so that we could create a series of images that made sense together.
We presented three concepts that were esoteric and/or eerie. At some point in our image research, we began to focus on still life paintings from the "Vanitas" style of the 16 and 17th centuries. John's been really into H.P. Lovecraft lately, so that was a major influence. We were also leaning towards the idea of incorporating alchemy somehow, especially considering the name of the project and the overall feel of the original reference images. In addition to the still life images, John created two comps based on images he found online and these ultimately became the concepts Surachai chose and we based the entire shoot off of. Surachai gave us a few notes, a quick lesson about the Cwejman and we kind of took it from there.
When you have so many variables – location, models, props, wardrobe, concept, style, etc, you can pretty much rely on the fact that some things will not be exactly what you expected in the beginning. For example: We were originally looking for a Shelley Duvall type to play the Witch. The location we ended up using was nothing like the Victorian-style attic shown in the original comps. The scene shown on the inside of the album wasn't even discussed until a day or two before the shoot. This was only the second project John and I had worked on together, so there was still a learning curve and as with any collaboration, we had to figure out a way to achieve an end result we would both be happy with.
We were both involved with selecting the location, models and props. Wardrobe is more my thing, but before the shoot, I didn't think it would be very important. My friend Tosh Yanez is a great wardrobe stylist and luckily had a few pieces handy that worked… the long gown designed by Bao Tranchi definitely helped to inspire one of the final shots. We were all on the same page for makeup and hair and Amber Kerns knew immediately what we were looking to achieve.
For the two days before the shoot, we attempted to come up with a loose shot list. We knew we needed to tie the story of the two figures together somehow. John had the idea that one was controlling the other. Since we knew the Witch would be featured more heavily, it made sense for her to be controlling the Alchemist. I also began compiling images that were more specific to the style of photography. I knew Surachai was leaning heavily towards black and white and high contrast, but I felt like we should provide a strong color option as well. At the time, I was looking at a lot of work by fashion photographer Elizaveta Porodina who is brilliant with her use of color, both in camera and in post.
The day of the shoot was challenging. We booked the space for a half day, which was extremely ambitious considering the amount of shots we wanted to get. Somehow we pulled if off thanks in part to an amazing crew of people and some additional time granted by the location. Also, Harwood (the Alchemist) stayed to help us pack up. The man's got some amazing stories… and for some reason, sunglasses for chickens so they don't peck each others eyes out. Please, everyone hire that guy because he's awesome.
The next day, John and I got together to start making edits and to talk about how we should proceed with post. The cover shot was obvious from the start, so we were able to narrow that down to just a few options pretty quickly. John began coming up with some ideas to try in post, partially based on some of the reference images I pulled early on and partially based on ideas he came up with on his own. Most of the images in the digital packaging were included in the original group of edits. We went back and forth until we had 6 images and from there, we narrowed it down based on which images made the most sense together visually.
John and I are typically hired to do more commercial work, despite the fact our personal taste is not very commercial. I do enjoy working for all of the clients I've had, but it's been really nice to have more creative opportunities lately. The first time I fell in love with photography was in 1995 while photographing a bunch of waspy girls dressed in my clothing, prancing around a cemetery in Ann Arbor. I still go back to some of my early work and miss how pure it was. Projects like this allow me to combine the last 10 years of experience as professional photographer with some of the experimentation that I've greatly missed. So thank you for that!
We're both really, really happy with the way the shots turned out. We were both challenged in ways we didn't expect to be, which I believe is the best way to evolve as an artist. However, I'm a little surprised at our inability to work a few cats into the photos. Next time… and probably several times after that.

Surachai, this time the music seems to take this savagery to new levels, even flirting with true chaos at times. This may even make his previous works seem controlled and almost linear by comparison.

Surachai Logo Shirts
Because of the intense details of around three thousand lines, printing shirts wasn't considered as an option because it seemed impossible to capture the intricacies. Offbeat Press took on the challenge and produced an interpretation of the logo that looks incredible. This logo was originally created for the silver inked cards that came with the Embraced vinyl. There are a total of 15 of these shirts in men's sizes and currently are no plans to repress.

Sea of Tranquility Reviews Embraced
Here's some US black metal for you that's somewhat different than what you normally hear on a day to day basis. Usually the sole work of multi-instrumentalist/composer/vocalist Surachai Sutthisasanakul, he's brought in a few musicians to help out this time around, with the result being a pretty full sounding, eclectic brew of extreme sounds. Non-stop tremolo picked riffs, blasting, and tortured vocal wailing assault the listener on the opening "Ancestral", and it's not until the tracks final three minutes that the chaos drops and some futuristic sound effects blip and bleep to close it out. "Embraced" is more of a haunting piece, the riffs keep raging but the vocals are more subdued and there's layers of keyboards softening up the arrangement. "Surrender" kicks off with those geeky synths before the furious black metal onslaught lurches back in, vocals shrieking about the mix over furious blasting and riffing. Though parts of Embraced are really well done, there's just a tediousness and sense of monotony throughout too much of the album that brings it down a bit. Perhaps if these songs were shortened a bit, the end result might have been a tad more enjoyable. Worth a listen though if you like experimental US black metal.

The idea of decorating a kid's room can be fun but also difficult. Because of the wide variety of choices, some parents, especially moms, are challenged with choosing a design their kids will love, but at the same time, making sure it won't outgrow their kids too quickly. Sometimes it's hard to find the balance between form and function. Here are some tips and ideas to help you ensure your kid's room stays functional and comfortable, but full of character.
Use an unexpected color palette.
When your kids are still too young to decide for their own like when they're still babies, have fun with decorating your child's nursery by choosing an unexpected color palette. Gone are the days of "pink for girls" and "blue for boys." Make it gender-neutral by choosing neutral colors like black and white, grays, whites, taupes and beiges. Then, introduce playful patterns using beddings, rugs, toys, books, and accessories. This way you can also have a room that the little ones can grow into.
Children's imaginations are at an all-time high during early childhood years, so go ahead and make the most out of it. Choose a theme they are passionate about, like insects, space, cars, unicorns, princesses, or a favorite cartoon character, and incorporate these in their room. Doing this would not only show off your kid's interests, but it can also help pull stuff together and make bedtime exciting for kids. You don't always have to do much – a printed comforter and a few wall decals are enough to set the theme.
Give them room to grow.
Your kids won't stay kids forever, and their favorites and interests change over time. Instead of buying that race car bed, you can integrate a racing theme in the room using posters, beddings, and decorations. If you're always designing and redecorating for every phase of your child, you'll exhaust yourself and your family's budget. It would be wise to choose furniture that looks a little more mature rather than something that looks too cute and too adorable, so as your child grows older, his or her furniture can stay while the colors of the wall or accessories can change to match their needs and wants.
Rely on colors and patterns.
In rooms for toddlers and small children, it is great to accent their rooms with playful colors. It helps in their brain development. But when they grow up to become middle schoolers, tweens, and teens, they might want to show their personality using pops of their favorite colors. Transform their walls using the wallpaper of their chosen pattern. Their spaces must be as creative as they are. Add fun accents like colorful pillows and fun lamps to anchor in their chosen theme. You can also add pops of colors or patterns using curtains and rugs, too.
A child's bedroom needs to be maximized as much as possible since this is the time when they love to move and play around as their imaginations wander. The bed, especially in a small bedroom, must be pushed against the wall so the head of the bed is in a corner. This opens up the floor for play time. Create a play center within his own room, so the kid won't get messy on other areas like the living room. Put up a play table for coloring and crafts. Once your child grows older, this can be replaced by a study area.
When there is a young kid, there is a mess. Help keep your child organized by keeping things at their arm's reach. Use open shelves with baskets and bins to keep their toys and games stored away. The open shelving makes easy access to belongings, plus it makes it easy to see where every toy must go to. Keep things of the same nature like blocks, coloring items, imaginary play and books on separate bins and guide your child in storing until he knows the system. If your kid is still very young, it's better to label your bins and baskets with pictures instead of words so they can easily identify the correct bin.
This doesn't only apply to toys. You can also bring down the kid's closet to your child's level. Attach hanging rods low enough so they can easily reach the hangers. Also put shelves and drawers reachable so they can easily get their underwear, socks, and accessories. You may also need to provide a small footstool for hard-to-reach storage. This doesn't only keep the kids organized, you're also teaching them to dress up and decide what to wear on their own.
Be creative with making a division.
Sometimes, you get to have more kids than the number of bedrooms available for them, so sharing of bedrooms is inevitable. In decorating a shared bedroom, it doesn't mean you need to have matching furniture and matching beddings to unify the room. Some children prefer to have a more individual style. If this sounds like your kids, let them choose their own beddings, bedside lamps, accessories and wall hangings for their side of the room. Keep the room coherent-looking by choosing the same beds, but paint them with the colors they like. Or, you can get the same bed but and paint the sides of the room with two different colors.
You can also ward-off nighttime chatter and bedtime quarrels by placing a divider between their beds. A folding portable divider or a colorful curtain hanged on a ceiling-mounted rod can work very well. This also gives each of the kid's privacy, which they will surely need as they grow older. You may also put up a more solid division like a bookshelf, a dresser or a shelving unit between the beds.
The most popular solution for a small, shared bedroom is to use bunk beds. Make use of the vertical space if you're short on floor area. Most kids love bunk beds, although if arguments arise regarding who gets to sleep on the top bunk, set up a schedule to be fair and implement safety rules. But if both of your kids really want to be on the top bunk permanently, might as well bunk the bed and use the area under as play area, lounge, or study area. That is, of course, if you have the space for it.
Include soft, comfortable seating like ottomans, beanbag chair, poufs or any cozy chair in their room. If you're a parent, having a chair near your kid's bed (or crib) is crucial for bonding moments like sharing stories, reading bedtime stories, or consoling a crying baby in the middle of the night. If you have space, you may even put a loveseat, a compact couch or a futon for your child to relax in after a hard day at school.
Allot space for their desk area.
Older kids and teens are getting bigger demands from school, so it is important that they have their own desk area for studying and working on homework and projects. Choose a desk that will flow with the rest of the space. It's better to choose desks with plenty of storage underneath. Add an accent task lamp and cute storage shelves and drawers to keep all their supplies and knick-knacks organized.
If painting is not an option (especially if you're renting), removable decals are your way to go for decorating the walls of your kid's bedroom. This is especially helpful in defining the overall theme for the bedroom. Let your kids pick them out and even place them in their rooms. If they are too young, offer a helping hand or apply it yourself. Once your child grows older and becomes tired of the theme, it would be easy to remove and replace or redecorate with something else.
Display your kid's collections or artworks.
Kids love collecting. Whether it is postcards, clippings, stamps, stickers, toy cars, dolls or whatever, these need to be displayed. Add shelving for toys and other knick-knacks they collect. For photos, postcards and similar items, try hanging them through a string light to create an instant charm in a room. If your kids like doodling and drawing, make them feel you're proud of them by adding a display section for their works. Try mounting a piece of galvanized metal and treat it like a board. Then, use fun magnets to keep your children's drawings displayed in their own room. If you like to go extra, paint their wall with chalkboard paint, so it would be easier for them to draw and doodle all over.
Your kids won't stay children forever and before you know it, they will be off to college away from you. Let them embrace their interests and have fun by decorating their bedroom with them. Make sure you involve them in all decision making regarding their own room. Give them a childhood to remember.


We thought that this would be an excellent opportunity to outline our Publishing Partner Program. In this Daily Brown Bag, Adam and Chad provide you with a quick overview of our background and you'll also learn how we've helped a lot of small businesses and publishers gain more success online! In addition, you'll gain insights on how digital marketing and traditional publishing are starting to merge and we discuss the details of our exciting Publishing Partner Program, including its four parts (website engagement, correspondent news content creation, content promotion - social & insights, and native advertising), which are all necessary to create high content buzz.
Thank you for your interest in our Publishing Partner Program. I'm Chad Hill, I'm the CEO here at HubShout.
Hi, and I'm Adam Stetzer, President. Chad, this is a really fun video for us to shoot. We want to really outline something we're very, very excited about, which is our Publishing Partner Program and I think we might give people in this very short video just like a quick overview of what it is and how we got here. I mean you can start with just a little bit of our background.
Yeah. HubShout has been in business for six years and we help a lot of small businesses and a lot of publishers have gained more success online, so things like SEO, paid search, taking advantage of social media. We have a long track record of helping businesses, like I said, get more traffic and get more success online.
One of the most interesting things, to me, over the last couple of years that Chad and I have been noticing is that digital marketing and traditional publishing are starting to merge, PR is starting to merge with SEO. We're seeing a lot of the traditional lines start to blur and as we've been out to some of these national conferences, particularly the Leading in Local and the Borrell Conference in New York earlier this year, we started to hear a lot of people talking about very interesting concepts that seemed to be crossing what was traditionally things that were done by newspapers, those that were done by digital marketing advertising firms, native advertising being a great example, and we started to see just real opportunity where we could, perhaps, partner with smaller newspapers in a mutually beneficial way. We want to lay out for you what our vision is and help you understand what we're doing here today.
There really are four parts of the program that we put together. The first one is all about website engagement. We know obviously that the website is the core of any online marketing presence and more and more with mobile devices and social media, if your website it not optimized to take advantage of all of the different ways people are finding your website and sharing the content on your website, then your chances of success are pretty low. So we start with really helping people improve and optimize their websites.
From there, we have a whole program that can help you with the content for your website. So we have a team of writers that can really focus in on your area and help deliver great, compelling content. It's going to get shared online, which is going to bring more visitors back to your website.
The third part of our program is really been taking advantage of all of the social media platforms out there and finding ways to expand the reach of your program. So we may not necessarily do the social media posting for you, but what we've done is put together insights and benchmarks that help you figure out when to post, how frequently to post, whether you should take advantage of some of the paid promotion opportunities on Facebook and other platforms to really maximize the money you're putting in and the time you're putting in to drive the most traffic.
And then the final part of our program is all about native advertising. It's really the buzz and a lot of online publications these day and we've got a unique way that we're looking at, helping publications like yours get market with a native advertising platform.
I know our initial tests, Chad, have been very positive and again I just want to stress how excited we are about this direction. It's new for us, but it's been kind of a grassroots effort because we bumped into folks in the publishing space, running newspapers at conferences. We've become friendly with some of them and tried some of these ideas. We're seeing great success, so we're really eager to get to know you and your publication, how these four areas that Chad outlined can help you. We know a lot of organizations are resource constrained and they have a hard time getting these things done.
We have a lot of expertise, having done this for hundreds of clients over our six years of business, so we're eager to see where we can engage and help each other. We look forward to hearing from you and working together soon.
