Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
The DJI Osmo Pocket came on its first major outing during my 11 day trip to Japan, and I recorded approximately 100GB of 4K 60fps video – 112 videos in all – using it. The Pocket performed perfectly. Well, almost,
Coming out a crash course on home recording equipment, the basic outlay seemed to be: Microphones: two basic types are dynamic, and condenser – with the former more suitable for low-frequency audio signals (e.g. drums), and latter for higher-frequency audio
The 2017 edition of a long-running if infrequent series of posts on Windows utilities that I have on our work and home computers. The previous post in this edition is here. MP3 Tag Editor: another long-lived software that I use!

Continuing on my series of posts on large vocal classical works. I’ve blogged about two of Handel’s oratorios: this entry is about both of Haydn’s oratorios. Haydn is also one of those lucky composers to have lived a long life.
Continuation of my earlier post.:) The earlier incarnations of Windows kept their application settings in easily configurable .INI files, but have now packed them into a registry file. Most users don’t ever peak into the registry since it’s a cryptic
