![]() ![]() ![]() Your research has doubtless already informed you that it doesn't have any MIDI ports but if that doesn't matter to you I'm gonna say it's truly a great bit of kit.Īgain, as you probably already know, the Onyx and other components inside are exactly the same as in other high end Onyx gear, so the quality is beyond question. It's also built like a tank (typical Mackie) and the angled interface is much more useful than you might realsie until you've used one. The angled bracket is removable if it doesn't suit you.ĭue to its Onyx preamps, converters, circuitry, it actually IS better than the competition at that price range. My original choice was the Mackie when I happen to come across the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. They both have good solid reviews and look like they can do the job.įrom what I've read the Preamps seem to be pretty even but I don't do too much recording and if I did I would do it on my G5 with the MOTU 24io. For me the converters will be more important since I'll need them to do semi decent mix downs while on the road. They have a lot of the similar if not exact the same features so the main difference I see are: From what I've read they both have pretty good AD/DA for their price point so it's tough to choose based on that research so far (without actually hearing them both). * The Mackie is at a nice ergonomic angle but the Scarlett has a nice big volume knob. My current rig is hooked up to a Mackie 1642-VLZ Pro mixer and I never liked the monitor knob. It seemed to go from no sound to a bit too loud as soon as I touched it (if that makes any sense). * They both have dedicated 0 latency direct monitoring but from reading the user manuals only the Mackie has a dedicated volume knob for the input monitoring and the ability to monitor in mono or stereo. The Scarlett only has the the switch to turn direct monitoring on. * Mackie is USB 1.1 but does not need a driver to work on a mac. The Scarlett is USB 2.0 but you need to install a driver for it to work. I'm thinking for the quick audio and a few VSTi's dance/club type stuff that I'm doing I wouldn't notice a difference in the USB speed so I'm not sure if this even matters. Unless the USB 2.0 contributes that much more stability to make me go for the Scarlett, I think I will go for the Mackie for the ergonomic angle and the direct monitoring input volume control. I know I'm being way to picky for such a lower cost interface but I'm geeky that way. Thanks again for the feedback guys, much appreciated.The Artist has the bare necessities for recording instruments and voice. There’s a single mic/instrument combo input designed around an Onyx preamp with +48v phantom power and Hi-Z switch for recording hi-impedance signals. ![]()

![]() ![]() Here are some real world installations and our pole strength test results. The first point to make in this article is are you sure you really need guy wires ? Two inch diameter poles, particularly the thicker 14 gauge/2.0mm type, really are quite strong and scaffold poles are even stronger. It should be borne in mind that this actually puts more strain on the wires and anchors due to the leverage effect of the unsupported length of pole above, but despite that (and the not recommended use of screw eyes as anchors ! ) it’s still there having been put up in 2001, having survived some vicious winds…. We reckoned (correctly as it turned out) that supporting it half way up the pole would be sufficient. We couldn’t be arsed to take the whole install down to get the hook collar at the top ! Note : standing on the chimney is not advisable…. Also, our install is actually “semi stayed”, this is because it was done in a bit of a rush (the wind was whipping the pole around like nobody’s business) which resulted in, to be frank, a bit of a bodge. ![]() Most cable stayed transmitters are not firmly fixed at the bottom, they’re mounted on a ball (tubular masts like Winter Hill for instance, are not). Actually, in one very important respect, they’re rather different. Guy / stay wire supported masts, your aerial pole or a TV transmitter, exactly the same principle ! See ATV's aerial array and Ridge Hill transmitter (in the picture below). ![]() ![]() ![]() Mechanical drafters prepare layouts that show the details for a variety of machinery and mechanical tools and devices, such as medical equipment.

![]() working profile The working profile used by darktable’s processing modules. ![]() You can restore this default by selecting “embedded icc profile”. If your input image is a low dynamic range file like JPEG, or a raw file in DNG format, it might already contain an embedded ICC profile, which darktable will use by default. You may need to activate the unbreak input profile module to use your own profiles. One common source of ICC profiles is the software that is shipped with your camera, which often contains profiles specific to your camera model. You can also supply your own input ICC profiles and put them into $DARKTABLE/share/darktable/color/in or $HOME/.config/darktable/color/in (where $DARKTABLE is the darktable installation directory and $HOME is your home directory). The enhanced matrices are designed to provide a look that is closer to that of the camera manufacturer. A number of matrices are provided along with an enhanced color matrix for some camera models. □module controls input profile The profile or color matrix to apply. Note that the final color profile that will be used when exporting the image is controlled by the output color profile module. This is also influenced by the chosen rendering intent. ![]() The user can also explicitly specify a color space for the incoming image, and can even supply a custom ICC color profile specifically made for the input device.Īs part of the mapping from the input color space to the working profile space, the colors can be confined to a certain gamut using the gamut clipping options, which can help to mitigate some (infrequent) color artifacts. If color space information is embedded in the image, the input color profile module will use this information when mapping the colors to the working profile color space. Where an image has been captured in a raw file, the input color profile module will normally apply either a standard or enhanced color matrix specific for that camera model, which will be used to map the colors into the working profile color space. This means that subsequent modules in the pipeline don’t need to be concerned with the specifics of the input device, and can work with and convert to/from a common working color space. camera, scanner) and converts the pixel encodings to a standardized working color space.

The clause consists of the conflict_target and conflict_action parameters. The ON CONFLICT clause can be added to overwrite data. The overwrite syntax is based on the following INSERT statement: with_query ] This is a universal limit based on the standard SQL syntax. Multiple data records for a primary key cannot be inserted in an INSERT statement. Subqueries cannot be executed in the UPDATE WHERE clause.

The table can be a partitioned table only when the minor version of the instance is 6.3.6.1 or later.

AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL V4.3 does not support this feature. Only AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL V6.0 supports the overwrite feature. This feature is supported in AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL V6.0 and not supported in AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL V4.3. It is similar to the REPLACE INTO statement of MySQL. This feature is also known as UPSERT or INSERT OVERWRITE. The INSERT ON CONFLICT statement allows you to update an existing row that contains a primary key when you execute the INSERT statement to insert a new row that contains the same primary key. ![]() |
