An obvious example is your standard-issue New York subway hero someone who dives onto the tracks to rescue someone while an oncoming train barrels down upon them. No, the most clear-cut, unquestionable type of bravery is when a person puts themselves in great peril in order to help another-ideally a stranger. There is no worse feeling than being in the vicinity of someone discovering their inner-child and “letting loose.” If you think I’m being a grouch, I pray your next commute is interrupted by an Improv Everywhere flashmob and you have to fight your way through dancing 25-year-olds who replied to a Facebook e-vite.

The result of this blog post tutorial exercise ![]() ![]() Yes, we’re talking about a partially rebuildable derailleur. There’s also a replaceable B-knuckle cover and outer link. These new XX SL, XX, and XO derailleurs are “engineered as integrated, interdependent Transmission components the T-Type derailleur mounts around the wheel axle itself, contacting the cassette directly with a first-of-its-kind Hangerless Interface.” This, as SRAM point out, creates a far stronger connection as the mech mounts directly to both sides of the bike frame and the axle.Īll three levels feature an integrated overload clutch, which essentially decouples the motorized internals in an impact to prevent damage. ![]() Should you choose to use just a few parts on their own – like just adding a Transmission derailleur to your existing Eagle AXS drivetrain – SRAM claims that Transmission will not function properly for reasons described below. To maximize and optimize the capabilities of Transmission, you must outfit your bike with the complete component suite-an ecosystem, if you will-consisting of derailleur, crankset, chainring, chain, and controllers. Instead, the derailleur is attached directly to the bike frame and tensioned through a straightforward setup method as seen in this video and/or with the assistance of SRAM’s new mobile app which bases tension on a number of factors including bike model, chainstay length, chainring size, etc. This isn’t just a few tweaks to the existing Eagle AXS, rather, it is an entirely new system with all new parts in-as SRAM describes-a rethinking of “the entire interface between frame, wheel, and drivetrain.” With no derailleur hanger or adjustment screws, the aim of this system is to allow “flawless shifting under maximum power.” That’s right: no separate hanger and no limit screws. Well, Eagle Transmission is that something. With SRAM’s adoption of the Universal Derailleur Hanger a few years ago, we knew something new was coming. Today, however, let’s take a look at product highlights and some initial thoughts about these new components after a few rides on a Santa Cruz Megatower test bike that SRAM sent us a couple of weeks ago. As such there’s a lot to unpack here, which we expect to dive deeper into during the next few months of Transmission-equipped bike reviews. SRAM also released an all-new Stealth lever body for their Level and Code brake lineup. ![]() This hefty product launch encompasses derailleurs, cranksets, cassettes, shift controllers, and more across XX SL Eagle, XX Eagle, and XO Eagle levels along with power meter and e-bike-specific components. After months of leaks, spottings, and speculation, SRAM unveiled their newest wireless mountain groupset, Eagle Transmission, along with a collection of Stealth Brakes. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was my first song with Naushad saab ,but on the day of the recording, he was unwell and his assistant Ghulam Mohamed saab was present. Something did happen with this singer during my first recording with him. When I had asked Lata ji about the incident, she went quiet for a while and then stated, "What you've said is true. And, of course, the music industry could have closed ranks on her.īut Lata ji stood her ground and never sang with Durrani. Not only was she ready to take on the biggest singer of the time but she also faced the risk of incensing a formidable composer like Naushad, who was giving her a break for the first time. This was a big decision for a singer who was just establishing herself. He heaped praise on the newcomer, thinking she would be flattered.īut Lata ji flared up and said she would not sing with this man ever. Lata ji politely replied that it was a haathi ka daant (elephant's tusk) necklace and a gift from her late father.ĭurrani dismissed her ornamental pride and said she should be wearing golden jewellery, as she had a golden voice. He asked her what she was wearing around her neck. When Lata ji arrived for the recording, he began to act over-friendly. It was the first song that Lata Mangeshkar was to sing for composer Naushad, and was a duet with Durrani.ĭurrani began to lay on his charms thickly on the young singer, thinking she would simper into submission. The song was Hai Chore Ki Jaat Badi Bewafa for the film Chandni Raat, starring Saira Banu's mother, Naseem Banu. The incident that shook the recording happened in 1949. The man in question was playback singer Ghulam Mustafa Durrani, popularly known as G M Durrani, who ruled the world of Hindustani playback singing in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s and was eventually eclipsed by Mohammed Rafi.ĭurrani used to be the King of Playback Singing, and not afraid show it. Long before she won royalty rights for playback singers, there was an undisclosed incident in Lata ji's life where she not only put a male colleague in place, but also refused to sing with him thereafter. There are innumerable instances of her fearless fights for justice. When it came to doing the right thing, Lata Mangeshkar was next to no one in the Hindi film industry. ![]() Photograph: Kind courtesy Lata Mangeshkar/Twitter ![]() ![]() Include language that leaves opportunity to renew the agreement.
![]() ![]() That's the price it pays for following up a trilogy that had players slaying a Hydra, several Greek gods and a fantastic sequence in God of War 3 where players battle the titan Cronos.Īscension also introduces multiplayer to the God of War series for the first time. By comparison, Ascension's cast of villains seems rather tame, which results in fewer memorable moments. Why should I care about this quest, exactly? The God of War trilogy earned its rise in popularity in part because of the incredible cast of characters Kratos battles. However, Ascension seems to carry one tragic flaw. Transitioning between attacks and rolls or other moves feels effortless, as players perform a variety of combination attacks to tear through opponents. It's a game worth of its mythological subject matter. The presentation remains impressive, effectively using dramatic camera angles to make the world and his enemies feel massive. Plus, players can use it as a quick way to suspend enemies in mid-air and hack away.įor the most part, Ascension is as enjoyable as every other God of War game. Some puzzles require players to partially rebuild a bridge or other structure to advance. ![]() When an object glows green, players can use the amulet to rebuild or decay a structure. Players can also pick up other weapons such as larger swords, hammers or shields for bonus melee strikes.Īscension beefs up navigation and puzzle elements of the series through an amulet Kratos picks up that can manipulate structures and stop time. Red chests give players points to upgrade their powers and blades, while white chests carry Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers to enlarge health and magic meters. Players will find green and blue chests scattered across the landscape to replenish health and magic. When opponents glow red, players can perform a "brutal kill" for an especially gory finish. For example, tapping the R2 button while equipping Hades' abilities unleashes a flurry of souls, while the Poseidon ability starts an icy tornado freezing enemies. Each come with their own set of special attacks and specific magic strikes to slow down enemies. Players can link their swords to powers tied to four gods: Ares (fire), Poseidon (ice), Zeus (lightning) and Hades (souls). Magic is handled a bit differently in Ascension, connected more closely to Kratos' blades. The combat delivers the same physicality and brutal finishes that have made the series popular. Armed with the Blades of Chaos attached to his wrists by chains, Kratos slashes through a variety of enemies such as giant cyclops, three-headed dogs (Cerebus) and a new "elephantaur," a hybrid elephant/minotaur. The prequel features all the trademarks fans of God of War have come to expect. Instead, Kratos is trapped in a prison dominated by the Furies, a group of female deities attempting to drive Kratos mad. ![]() ![]() Kratos' tale turns tragic when he is tricked into killing his wife and daughter, setting him off on a quest to kill Ares.Īscension takes place six months after his family's murder, as Kratos breaks his pact with Ares and seeks revenge. Although the "hack-and-slash" title is filled with the same grandeur of the original trilogy, it lacks those titanic moments that helped make the franchise so spectacular.įor those new to God of War, Kratos is a Spartan soldier who vows to serve Ares, the god of war, if he grants him the power to slay his enemies. The muscular and merciless warrior of Sony's epic God of War action franchise returns in prequel God of War: Ascension for the PlayStation 3.

Check out the roundup we made for these assets below!ģ55 Free Motion Graphics, Sound Effects, Action Elements, and More ![]() Whether it’s LUTs, overlays, or animated typefaces, there’s more than enough in these packs to make sure your project stands out. Like this pack, we’ve released hundreds of free download packs over the years that will help you build a trailer or an entire feature-length film. It’s a great way to transition in a way that feels very impactful. This will give the clip an echo effect, spilling onto the next scene. I, for one, tend to use the Great Hall effect on my trailers, since it really adds space and depth to your soundscape. To add a simple reverb effect, drag the Studio Reverb effect onto your clip, and select from one of the multiple presets it offers. For instance, adding reverb may make an effect sound more ethereal, whereas distortion may work well for a gritty horror or sci-fi trailer. Most video editing applications have at least a few basic audio filters that, when applied to SFX, can dramatically change the sound and feel. Add Audio Filters and Effects to the SFX When editing, experiment with multiple audio filters.Įxperiment with filters to customize the sound to fit the needs of your project. Trial-and-error is the path to being a great editor as you learn how these programs work with sound and image. Just remember that, like any aspect of video editing, it helps to play around and test things out. From here, you can lower or raise the EQ bar in real time to get the sound you’re looking for. To adjust the EQ of your clip, just drag the Parametric Equalizer effect onto your clip and go into the settings. You likely never want the SFX to distort, get blown out, or over-power dialogue. Putting a simple EQ filter on your sound effects can make them punchier, but be mindful of your levels. Want to bring out the bass in your drum hits? EQ. EQ Your SFX for Maximum Punch Isolate or intensify individual sounds by EQing various frequencies. You can filter the instruments we have in our music by checking the “Instrument” box while searching through our library. I’ve also recently started experimenting with using our instruments that have been isolated to create a mood while layering it with effects and sound atmospheres. Or, if you want a good wave for your trailer to ride, planting some risers next to each other can help amp up the intensity and bring heat to a trailer. ![]() Sometimes pairing a riser with a slam at the end can get you a punchy result. Please take a look at how we layered the SFX for the demo video above. With trailers, where the sound design may be dense, you may need to overlay multiple SFX to build out the sound palette. Often, sound effects work best when layered and combined. Layer, Layer, Layer Experiment with layering and combining sounds to intensify the mood. With some SFX, you can create really interesting sounds by simply reversing the audio, which can be done merely by selecting the Reverse Speed button in Time/Duration. If you want to slow it down, lower the percentage - and raise it for faster speeds. This is where you can speed up or slow down your clip. To speed it up, simply right-click your clip and select Time/Duration. This is especially useful for SFX that build - you may need to speed up the build, but you don’t want it to sound like high-pitched chipmunk squeals. Change SFX Speed or Reverse It Sound engineers often manipulate the speed of a sound effect when creating a particular vibe.Ĭhanging the speed of a sound effect-or reversing it-has been a tried and true trick of audio engineers in search of that unique sound for quite some time. Here are a few quick tips for getting the most out of this free sound effects pack.
