Nuendo 6 Review

Highlighting the azmost luxurious native mixing console, a complete ADR taker system and fully integrated EBU-compliant loudness metering, Nuendo 6 is the most advanced audio post-production environment available today. With a whole new workflow experience and seamless integration into the Nuage system, the sixth generation of Nuendo is a one-stop solution for audio-to-picture work.

The most advanced mixing console ever made

Nuendo 6 Channel Strip

Nuendo 6 sets new standards in mixing. The new mixing surface of Nuendo 6 provides instant access to all vital functions of the mixer thanks to a sleek single-window concept and allows for a multitude of visibility configurations and drag-and-drop functions for faster operation.

Other major improvements include the intuitive Quick Link system and Control Link groups to temporarily or permanently link entire channels or only specific parameters. The all-new View Sets store and recall any channel configuration as preset.


Each of the up to four different MixConsoles comes with its own channel visibility management, allowing you to define which channels you want to see and how they are arranged



The brand-new channel strip in Nuendo 6 offers several high-quality effects that turns your voice recordings, music and sound effects into a warm and expressive sound with richly nuanced dynamics.




From a complete set of high- and low-pass filters plus noise gate with sidechain support, over to different compressor types and a brickwall limiter — the new channel strip takes your mix to a whole new level.


At the same time, the Channel Strip is highly configurable. All modules can be rearranged through drag-and-drop in case a different processing chain is needed. All faders can be used in pre or post mode related to the insert FX rack.






And many more a great console

Corel Draw X6 Review

What's New in CorelDRAW?CorelDRAW has a slightly more streamlined look, now that the object docker has been cleaned up to group tools together when appropriate.


A few new features make CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 more multi-functional by turning it into a light page design program, which it hasn't really been before. For example, CorelDRAW now has a page-numbering feature, better abilities to change page layout sizes, a new Lorem Ipsum tool to insert placeholder text, and a button that lets you align and lock text to the baseline grid. These are necessary features for page designers and digital artists anytime they're working on text-heavy designs, such as marketing materials and brochures.


Corel has added more fonts, too, which again increases the value of the product for print designers by a shot.


For artists who are less concerned with text, the vector drawing program includes a few new shaping tools as well that "smear," "twirl," "attract," and "repel," objects or points on lines to transform their shapes. The twirl tool lets you quickly spin an object into something new simply by selecting the object and pressing the mouse. The attract tool pulls together points that you select, while repel does the opposite. The smear tool is surprisingly unsmudgy, creating even and symmetrical contours in whichever direction you pull the shape, rather than adding blurry edges. I can easily imagine graphic designers using these tools to make quick iterations on their artwork, without having to adjust every point by hand. They're quick, produce clean results, and are fun.

Processing

Processing is an open source programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) built for the electronic arts, new media art, and visual design communities with the purpose of teaching the fundamentals of computer programming in a visual context, and to serve as the foundation for electronic sketchbooks. The project was initiated in 2001 by Casey Reas and Benjamin Fry, both formerly of the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Lab. One of the stated aims of Processing is to act as a tool to get non-programmers started with programming, through the instant gratification of visual feedback. The language builds on the Java language, but uses a simplified syntax and graphics programming model.

Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.









Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).

Fast and Farious 6 Riview

The number 6 is not a reassuring sight, whether it's Police Academy 6: City Under Siege, three 6s on the infant Damien's scalp, or the 1990s New Labour adviser Perri 6. But despite being the sixth movie in the petrol-head franchise starring Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, this film's got a fair bit in the tank; it's silly but enjoyable. Brian O'Conner (Walker) has become a dad, and his buddy Dominic Toretto (Diesel) solemnly tells him his life will change. Absolute nonsense of course. Soon he's revving and racing and fighting just as in his bachelor days, with his wife's dewy-eyed blessing. Toretto's crew has been recruited by special agent Luke Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson, the veins on whose massive biceps are as thick as tree branches.

Fast & Furious 6
Production year: 2013
Country: USA
Cert (UK): 12A
Runtime: 130 mins
Directors: Justin Lin
Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Jordana Brewster, Luke Evans, Michelle Rodriguez, Paul Walker, Vin Diesel


Much of the film is set in London (some Skyfall legacy?) and Hobbs wants them to take down a sinister gang led by ex-SAS officer Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), who appears to have recruited or brainwashed Toretto's ex-paramour Letty, played by Michelle Rodriguez. Rodriguez gets some one-on-one fight scenes with Hobbs's assistant Riley, played by Gina Carano. Rodriguez has some outrageous badass dialogue. To a smart-mouthed tough guy, she snarls: "You're supposed to be Team Muscle. Don't make me come over there and make you Team Pussy." It's reminiscent of the moment Whistler remarked to Oscar Wilde, when Wilde pinched one of his bon mots: "You're supposed to be Team Original Drollery. Don't make me come over there and make you Team Chastened."

Tweaking Mozila

If your Firefox is slow or misbehaving, here are some tweaks to speed it up. Firefox 19 has just been released – I already discussed the new features which contained many technical improvements but there is still more you can do to speed it up or resolve problems.
These initial steps are a basic requirement to keep Firefox running smoothly and safely – there is little point trying to improve performance if you are using outdated and insecure components…
1. Update Firefox – if you’re not running the latest version you are more at risk from unfixed vulnerabilities and will not benefit from the latest technical improvements:
Select Firefox (or Help from the menu bar) then ‘About Firefox’ and press the ‘Check For Updates’ button. Apply updates if available then retry – the Check message should confirm ‘Firefox is up to date’.
2. Remove extensions you do not need – the more extensions you have enabled, the slower and less stable Firefox may become:
Select Firefox (or Tools from the menu bar) then Add-ons to open the Add-ons Manager. Click on Extensions and, if you no longer need an extension, Remove it – if in doubt, at least Disable it.
3. Update extensions – the easiest way to always keep extensions up to date is to open the Add-ons Manager and click the Tools ‘cog’ at the top then select (tick) ‘Update Add-ons Automatically’.
To perform a manual update, click the Tools ‘cog’ then select ‘Check for Updates’ and apply any that are found.
4. Disable plugins you do not need – as with extensions, the more plugins you have enabled, the more problems Firefox may encounter:
Open the Add-ons Manager. Click on Plugins and, if you do not need a plugin, disable it. If you disable a specific plugin and ever do visit a site that needs it, just re-enable it. [The only plugins enabled on my system are Shockwave Flash and Silverlight for streaming videos. Amongst my disabled plugins are Microsoft DRM x 2, Quicktime, VLC, Windows Media Player and Google Update - none of which I have ever needed].
5. Update plugins – plugins from third parties such as Adobe and Oracle are often targeted by malicious websites so it is important to keep them up to date (and new versions often include performance benefits):
Follow my guide to update them – it also warns against the possible error when checking the status of a Java plugin.
Now that you have Firefox, extensions and plugins optimized and up to date, progress to the next section.
Backing Up
The next section tweaks Firefox configuration by changing or adding preferences in about:config. You should make a note of the ‘before’ and ‘after’ values of each tweak and (highly recommended) backup the Firefox preferences file that contains all these options first – in case you want to revert back to your original settings:
The configuration file is called prefs.js and is located in the system partition (usually C:\ drive):
In Windows XP \Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile ID>.default\
In Vista and Windows 7 \Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile ID>.default\
You may need to show hidden files to view the folder. Close Firefox first and then copy the prefs.js file to another location on your hard drive for backup.
Tweaking Firefox
Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar then press Enter. Click the “I’ll be careful I Promise” warning button to reveal a long list of preferences.
To change a preference – if it is an integer (number) or a string (text), double click on the preference name and you will be prompted for the new value. If it is a Boolean (true or false) value, double click the entry to switch from true to false or vice versa.
To add a preference (if the preference name is not already listed in your about:config page) right click on an empty space in the about:config window and choose New followed by String, Integer or Boolean depending whether the value of the preference is text (String), a number (Integer) or true/false (Boolean)
Tip: The quickest way to find the right preference is to type part of the preference name into the Filter bar at the top of the config page – this automatically reduces the list to show only those preferences that include the text you typed.
Change or add the following preferences to the new values shown. If the preference is already set to this value then skip it and move on the next. If the preference does not exist then you need to add it:
browser.display.show_image_placeholders: false
Stops the display of placeholders while images are loading to speed up the page. Default is True
browser.tabs.animate: false
Disables all tab animation features (e.g. when you click the ‘New Tab’ (+) button) to make the tab interface feel quicker. Default is True
network.prefetch-next: true
This setting can automatically prefetch (load) the contents of pages linked to by the page you are viewing e.g. to load the homepage in the background, making it quicker for you to view next if you want to.
To take advantage of increased speed when browsing websites which use prefetch, keep this setting at the Default which is True.
[Some view prefetch as a possible security risk and disable it. My current view is that it isn’t a major concern – if a site is bad, it will just load bad stuff on the current page anyway without needing to prefetch it from elsewhere]
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 8
Increases the maximum number of persistent connections per server which can help speed up loading of multimedia rich sites. Default is 6
network.http.pipelining: true
Can send multiple requests to a server together in order to speed up loading of webpages. This is not supported by ALL servers – some servers may even behave incorrectly if they receive pipelined requests. Default is False
Optional: if you want Google searches in the address bar to search by name and go straight to the right website (e.g. ‘New York Times’ would go straight to the nytimes.com website) rather than just perform a standard Google search, change the value of the keyword.url preference as shown below below:
keyword.url: https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
(Note: this is for google.com – you may want to change it to your own country version e.g. for UK just replace the google.com bit with google.co.uk)
Now close Firefox and re-open it to apply all the tweaks.
Personalizing The Tweaks
The above tweaks improve speed and responsiveness in my own tests but your mileage may vary depending on your exact network configuration, sites visited and other software installed. One of the best things about Firefox is the variety of add-ons available but it does mean that there is an endless variety of possible configurations…
In particular the three ‘network.’ preferences may not be a ‘one size fits all’ solution for you – you may need to experiment to achieve the best settings for your particular installation e.g. by changing them one at a time to different values or back to the default setting. I provided the default settings above in case you wish to revert to them.
Enable Click To Play
Plugins (e.g. Flash Player) can consume significant resources and slow down page loading. Click to Play configures all plugins to only load on click which can dramatically increase the speeds of media rich pages.
This feature is not enabled by default at the time of writing but you can enable it via a simple change in about:config – see Activating Click To Play (half way down the page). You can also Add a Button to the Navigation Toolbar to quickly switch Click To Play on or off at the press of a button.
Don’t Load Tabs Until Selected
If you have set the option to ‘Show my windows and tabs from last time’ (in Options \ General) when Firefox starts, it may have to load multiple tabs – keen users may have dozens of open tabs which Firefox has to load in full each time it starts. This can really slow down the time it takes to open Firefox – a common complaint. To greatly speed up the loading process:


In Options \ Tabs tick the ‘Don’t load tabs until selected’ box and press OK – this menu option will still open all your saved tabs when Firefox starts but will only load the current tab which can save a lot of time:

‘Don’t load tabs until selected’ – in Tabs menu
Search For Text More Quickly
This isn’t a performance tweak as such but speeding up the way in which you search for text within web pages can make using Firefox seem quicker.
Firefox includes an Accessibility setting that lets you search for text on a page instantly when you start typing instead of having to open the Find/Quick Find bar first – see ‘quicker searches‘ for a guide.
Compact Firefox Databases – Advanced Users
Compacting the databases is a hotly debated topic – Firefox should compact the main ‘places’ database itself but, even if it does, there are many other databases which can become fragmented and overly large – these may also impact performance.
See how to compact Firefox databases – this is recommended for advanced users only who are comfortable with backing up (and restoring if necessary) their Firefox profile.
Still Having Speed Or Reliability Issues?
If you have always let Firefox upgrade itself over many years and you still find that it is slow or unresponsive, it may be time to consider making a fresh start by doing a ‘factory reset’ of Firefox – see the ‘Reset Firefox button‘ section of my Firefox 13 review for more details. This is very much a last resort due to the amount of reinstallation and configuration that is required afterwards.
Finally, consider whether your expectations are reasonable – I read of people complaining about performance when they have 100+ add-ons installed or 100+ open tabs or are using very old hardware – they may be simply overloading Firefox beyond its realistic limits and would face the same issues with any other modern browser.
In my own testing over the last 2 years, Firefox has beaten Chrome and IE to become the clear winner for systems with limited memory…

How to Tweak the Windows 8 Start Screen Wallpaper, Tiles, and Animations

The Windows 8 Start screen. It’s a very divisive feature of the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system, and the widespread dislike for the way it looks and works is demonstrated by the staggering number of tools for tweaking it that sprang up almost immediately. If you’re not happy with the way the Start screen works, there are plenty of ways you can customize it, and here we take a look at some of the best tools.
We have already looked at the built in options that are available for customizing the Start 
screen including how to group tiles together in a way that works for you. If it’s all too much, there are numerous ways in which you can bring the Start menu back.





But we thought we would take a look at some of the third party tools that are available to help you make the Start screen your own, tweak a few settings and iron out some 
annoyances.

Decor8

Starting off with a tool from a big name (Stardock), Decor8 is not a free utility but there is a trial version available so you can test it out.Initially, you would be forgiven for thinking that you were still using Windows 8’s built-in 
Settings – the look is very similar. Things look fairly simple to start with, but in addition to 
being able to choose a new background image, there’s also the option of using random 
images from a folder full of backgrounds.





The drop down menu in the Background section can be used to choose between different animations effects to accompany scrolling through the Start screen, but more interesting
settings can be changed by moving to the Options section.Here you can not only adjust the number of rows of icons that are displayed and make 
further changes to scrolling effects (assuming you have parallax scrolling enabled), but you can also take advantage of the helpful addition of a clock to the Start screen and also opt to use the same color scheme on the Charms bar as on the Start screen.





At $4.99, Decor8 is hardly going to break the bank, and it’s great to find that there are tools available from established players, but there are also plenty of free options to choose from if you’d rather hang onto your cash.

Start Screen Animations Tweaker

The name says it all here. This utility is concerned solely with adjustments to the Start screen’s animation effects, and nothing else. Start Screen Animations Tweaker can be 
downloaded free of charge, although you should be prepared for a slightly confusing page 
with multiple Download buttons – just be sure to use the grey buttons).

You will probably have noticed that there is a slightly different animation used when the Start screen loads at login. In addition to animating the main tiles, your user name and user image also slide into view.





This can be changed so all of the animations are used every time the Start screen is displayed, and four sliders can be used to tweak the start point of each animated item. Hit the ‘Tune up the Parallax effect’ button and you can fine-tune the parallax scrolling effect that is used on your background image as you scroll through the Start screen tile. 90s gamers will likely associate this effect with Mario on the SNES.

Unlike the other animation effects that take immediate effect, if you make changes to the parallax scroll speed, Explorer needs to be restarted. All you need to do is click Apply in the parallax dialog, and you may find that there’s a slight delay and some screen flicker while Start Screen Animations Tweaker works its magic.

Windows 8 Start Screen Customizer

To access a few more options, including adjusting the opacity of the Start screen as a whole and of tiles, take a look at Windows 8 Start Screen Customizer. There is a degree of crossover with other Start screen tweakers, but being able to adjust transparency levels 
helps to ease the switch between desktop and Start screen.
Note that to get this application working, you will need to extract using 7-zip, change the extension of the file to .exe, and then run as Administrator.





You can also tailor the Start screen to your needs by adjusting the number of rows used to display tiles. This is a good option if you’re working with a smaller screen, but it’s also great for cramming in as many shortcuts as possible.

Metro Scaler

If you’re looking for a way to changing the number of rows displayed on the start screen, but you’re not interested in any of the other tweaks, Metro Scaler is a single purpose app that could be just what you’re looking for.





Things are very simple here: just use the slider to indicate the size of screen you’re using, and Metro Scaler will adjust the number of rows accordingly. Of course, you can always lie if you disagree with what the app believes to be the optimum number of rows.


Of course, many of these tweaks could be applied by editing the registry, but working with a tweaking app makes things much easier and quicker. What are your favorite tweaks for the Start screen? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Instalation and Upgrading Windows 8

When you buy Windows 8 online you'll get a step by step download and installation, complete with the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant to warn you about program and hardware compatibility issues, or you can buy a DVD.

You get the most options with an upgrade from Windows 7

How much of a previous Windows system you can keep when you install Windows 8 depends on which version you're upgrading from; upgrade from Windows 7 and you can keep programs, Windows settings and files; upgrade from Vista and keep settings and files. Upgrading from Windows XP only gives you your personal files.

• 50 Windows 8 tips, tricks and secrets

If you're installing Windows 8 Enterprise, you activate it once it's installed (and the system for that was still being set up when we started testing, so it wasn't seamless but this what you'll see as a normal user).

Even if you have Windows 7 on your PC, you can still choose a fresh start

With Windows 8 Pro the installation is the same experience as you'll get if you buy a Windows 8 upgrade; it checks your system, tells you what you can keep and which programs won't be compatible (and helpfully removes them and then restarts the installation) and you enter your product key as a normal part of the installation.

You don't have to restart the installation if there's an incompatible program installed

Scanning a fully loaded Windows 7 system with a lot of apps installed and many gigabytes of files takes around ten minutes, then another hour (or on a really loaded system, two) to set up Windows 8 with all your compatible programs intact. If you're doing a clean installation without keeping any applications, or an upgrade where you just keep files and settings, it's far faster.

On a variety of PCs it took ten to fifteen minutes from starting the installation and entering the licence key to get to picking the colour scheme and choosing whether to accept Express Settings or customise the setup.

One of the items under Express Settings is the controversial default of turning on the Do Not Track setting in Internet Explorer 10. Choose Customize and you can change that, but there's an on-going argument about both what Do Not Track means and how websites will treat the IE10 setting because it is the default. It's clearly marked and you can easily change it, but advertisers and some ad-funded organisations remain unhappy.

After this you can set up a local account or log in with a Microsoft account like a Hotmail address, which synchronises settings with any other Windows8 PCs you use and give you access to the Windows Store.

While Windows 8 finishes the setup, which takes a couple more minutes, you get a brief onscreen tutorial showing you how to move your mouse into the corners of the screen to open the charm bar; if you have a touchscreen, it also shows you how to swipe for the charm bar but only if you have the right screen – so an older tablet PC with only an active digitiser only shows the mouse tutorial. If you've picked a colour scheme, the tutorial uses that for the image of the screen, a little thing but it's a subtle way of making it feel more like your PC.

Once the mini tutorial has played a few times, the setup screen starts switching between various different colours – presumably to show you the other colour choices as well as reassuring you that it's still working. Everyone who has an account gets to see the tutorial when they first log in, making good use of the short time it takes to create the desktop the first time. (They don't get the colour show though).

If you do an upgrade install starting with Windows running, you'll never see the option to set the language for your keyboard or settings for date and time formats. If you boot from USB to do a clean install, you're asked to choose these settings but that's it, apart from Express Settings.

In neither case do you get to choose the time zone; Windows 8 either keeps the current timezone if you do an upgrade or sets it up automatically based on the language of the installer for a clean installation. A UK Windows 8 image kept the UK time even on a clean installation; a US image set the timezone to Pacific when we did a clean installation. And as always, you can change that quickly enough inside Windows without needing an admin account.

On a Sandy Bridge Core i5 with an SSD, fifteen minutes after putting in the USB stick, we were running Windows 8 and ready to sync content with the content in our Microsoft Account.

Introducing Windows 8

With Windows 8 upgrades, new Windows 8 PCs and Windows 8 tabletshaving been released at the end of October 2012, the operating system has now been in stores for half a year.

If you've landed here, chances are you'll want to know what we think of Microsoft's latest operating system. So here is our definitive verdict on the full, finished Windows 8 operating system.

By all accounts Windows 8 hasn't done fantastically well in terms of consumer reception - even leading some at Microsoft to say that the company's "Start Screen first" mentality was wide of the mark.

As well as the traditional desktop, Windows 8 also ushers in a new Start Screen. This works in the same way as the old Start Menu, although it opens full screen and is also a place you can launch and use new Windows 8-style apps - essentially full-screen, tablet-style apps.

Sales of the software also struggled at first, but after 90 days, Microsoft indicated it has shifted enough licenses to equal that of Windows 7.

"More than 60 million licenses sold is on par with the record setting pace we saw with Windows 7," said Microsoft Chief Marketing Officer and Chief rFinancial Officer Tami Reller in an official Windows blog interview.

However, sales stats since the 90 day point are a complete mystery.

New to Windows 8?Windows 8 represents a fundamental shift in the way Windows works and is far more touchscreen-orientated for use on tablets as well as traditional PCs. If you're completely new to Windows 8 and haven't used a preview version, we'd recommend you check out our guide to the new features you'll find in Windows 8 vs Windows 7 and Windows 8: what you'll need to relearn.

The first thing you should know about Windows 8 is the versions available - we have more guidance on that here: Windows 8 versions: which is right for you?.

Essentially the key information is that there are two Windows 8 versions available to buy - Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro. Usually you'll find Windows 8 Pro more commonly available.

With the final version plus various updates since, the integrated Windows 8-style apps are now far, far better than they were originally. Even the previously disappointing apps such as Mail, Calendar, Messaging and People are sleek and far more functional. More updates are on the way, notably with Windows 8.1, due over the coming months.
