Its terribly designed, overpriced (more expensive than the mic itself) and seriously damages the usability of the device but is the only one that works. There’s a Rode one which a lot of people recommend and works well with the go pro 5/6s and would be fine to be an extra because not everyone needs good sound quality BUT.in order to fit any external mic you have to buy the specific go pro mic adapter which is as big as the device, just flaps about on the outside of the device and is an extra £50 on top of the device itself. The audio quality is poor, really poor so if you want to record voices you really need an additional mic. I realise that it’s a payoff for the size but I’d rather less video quality and a bit more usability in this area.

![]() ![]() logic is like the lungs ofmy studio, allowing everything to breath no matter where i am. It's the only reason why I use an apple computer.īefore purchasing a MacBook, i knew all i was going to use it for was a portable DAW for Logic Pro x, i was largly debting between the pro and the air, after 1 week i am glad to report that the macbook air i purchased is fully capable of running Logic Pro x, with many tracks, and the battery life is great.

But everything runs smooth in Catalina on an Intel based MacBook Pro. It supports AU although developers are still catching up with the M1 so be careful some of your plug ins might not run. The quality and sheer number of stock devices that it comes with is amazing. I haven't been able to crash it yet but I'm still working on it. It has never crashed on me and I never have glitches with it. It does everything you need it to do to make music, period. I cranked it up again and it just clicked with me.

At the same time, the cycling shorts often have more prominent leg grippers, as there needs to be something that keeps the short from riding up the thigh on a long or intense bike ride. This helps the compression shorts keep a very firm fit on the athlete’s leg at all times. To allow space for the seat pad, they have a construction which actually allows for the chamois to sit in a “basket” of sorts.Īs for construction, we usually find that the bike shorts are made of a higher proportion of poly or poly blend, while compression shorts usually have a little more spandex. Their main purpose is to be comfortable and effective on long bike rides, not to be a compression short. Bike shorts, while form-fitting, do not offer this type of technology. Because of this, they are specifically intended for athletic performance and recovery, and offer the benefits of compression than you get in high-end compression tights as well. The compression shorts normally are tighter, and focus much more on consistent compression throughout the quad, hamstring, and glutes. Having this chamois pad in your shorts also affects the design, as bike shorts cannot be as snug through the seat as compression shorts would typically be - which leads us to the next difference. They are stitched in to the short in a very seamless manner so the part of your body that had contact with the pad does not chafe. These pads are usually made of a chamois-like material (actually made of synthetic fibers to look like a piece of chamois), so very soft, and can be of various thicknesses. This padding is incredibly important as it is what separates you from your bike saddle on a long ride. First and foremost, bike shorts have padding in the seat area. There are a couple fundamental differences between cycling and compression shorts. See our full article on cycling shorts for more details. ![]() What is the Difference: Cycling and Compression Shorts? A good pair of bike shorts have an ample seat pad and the waistline comfortable in a cycling posture. ![]() It is obvious to most people that the less-expensive shorts like UA compression shorts and others are not intended for outerwear or cycling. They are their own animal, and for good reason.īefore we go any further, it is important to note that we are comparing the outerwear-style compression shorts made by makers like Zoot and Pearl Izumi to bike shorts. True compression shorts are not to be confused with cycling shorts or triathlon shorts. Since we have seen some people trying to use compression shorts as cycling shorts, we thought this article was important. After looking further, however, the two types of shorts have some fundamental differences that cannot be overlooked. Both are form-fitting, made of some material like spandex, and obviously designed for athletes. So why wait?

Illegal recyclers were operating out of 28 sites where stolen goods were stored and then ground into pellets for resale. In 2013, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s task force recovered stolen plastics with a value of more than $7 million. Over the past decade, illegal recycling operations similar to the one in Houston have been busted in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit, Fairfield, N.J., and suburban Washington, D.C. One viewer commented: “Hey, he is accused of recycling. Local TV affiliate KHOU, reported that police uncovered thousands of pallets, trays and other plastics and a $40,000 shredder shipped from China to process it all into pellets for export.Ĭomments left by viewers on the KHOU website show how low on the radar this crime pings with the general population. Assets from more than dozen companies valued in the millions of dollars were found. Houston police recently busted a major theft ring with a warehouse full of stolen plastics ready to ship to overseas. At that point, the cycle starts all over again as bakeries, bottling companies and dairies are forced to replace their stolen assets. Recyclers turn around and shred the plastic into pellets and then sell it for export at 30 to 50 cents a pound. Bad actors can earn anywhere from 10 to 12 cents a pound from illegal recyclers for stolen containers. And it’s growing nationwide as the value of petroleum-derived plastic increases along with the price of oil and natural gas.Ĭrooks target warehouses, retail stores, restaurants, bakeries and other locations where plastics are left outside and unattended. The theft of reusable plastics is big business with organization and an infrastructure that allows thieves to swipe, process and resell large quantities of plastics. While it may seem at first glance to be a relatively minor offense, this isn’t penny-ante crime. Losses trickle down the supply chain, from manufacturer to retailer and eventually to the consumer. Yes, you read that right: half a billion dollars. There’s something far more nefarious afoot: A new breed of criminal is heisting them off loading docks and from back alleys and then selling them to underground recycling networks.Īlong with milk crates, plastic pallets, bakery trays, beverage shells and other containers made from high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene are disappearing at a rate that is costing retailers and CPG companies an estimated $500 million per year.

The environmental impact nets out to the equivalent of 1.34 billion plastic water bottles. Each replacement costs about $4 and milks the dairy industry of an estimated $80 to $100 million annually. Some “green” farmers use them as nesting boxes for chickens.Ĭreativity and good intentions aside, repurposing stolen milk crates isn’t green and the dairy industry loses an estimated 20 million per year.

No sooner has the needle touched the record than we, together with the narrator, are transported to a 1928 Broadway theater and into "The Drowsy Chaperone", a play-within-a-play crammed full of every cliché, gag and gimmick from the golden age of musicals. He is a fan of vintage musicals who seems to be suffering from free-floating depression, and he quickly decides to cheer things up by playing a record of the original cast recording of a (fictional) Broadway musical entitled "The Drowsy Chaperone". The audience is greeted by the narrator, Man in Chair, sitting on a darkened stage. The Drowsy Chaperone pays tribute to the Jazz-age shows of the 1920s and the power those shows held to transport us into a dazzling fantasy and to lift our spirits in times of sadness. It all begins when a die-hard musical-theater fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room, telling the rambunctious tale of a brazen Broadway starlet trying to find, and keep, her true love. If you've ever sat in a dark theatre and thought, "Dear Lord in heaven, please let it be good," this is the show for you! A rare combination of unprecedented originality and blinding talent, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE boldly addresses a great unspoken desire in all of our hearts: to be entertained. ![]() |
