Why do you cut and recut the same bit multiple times? - A. I'm usually looking for the most seamless merge.Q. What's the bright red view at the end? - A. Spectral view, you can see volumes of relative frequencies. It's good for removing errant sounds like clicks and bumps because you can focus in on the specific frequencies causing themQ. Can you explain all the steps? - A. Maybe in a later video if this sort of vid is of interest. In the mean time you can see my detailed tutorial here (youtube.com/watch?v=Q0hqNlAgOoo)
The Book of Five Rings - Go Rin No Sho (Miyamoto Musashi) | My Narration Robin Homer 2023-05-10 | This is my narration of Gorin No Sho - Buy the book on Amazon: geni.us/CompleteMusashiThe Complete Musashi is my favourite translation and contains a lot of extra background detail.This is my original recording reuploaded. The Book of Five Rings (五輪書, Go Rin no Sho) is a text on kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. One may question the relevance of a book about swordsmanship in modern life, but at its core this book is about mastery, its principles are timeless. Many parts are echoed in other non-combat focussed works from around the world, and as we’ll many see were far ahead of their time.I have made an in depth summary of the book here: youtu.be/gI-SDFuuuRkThat said, Musashi himself mentions his words are only principles, and only through training will you come to understand them. In listening I suggest placing your focus on its core messages of mastery over yourself, directness of intention and of seizing the initiative and not being passive.Start 0:00Introduction 0:17Ground Book 2:51Water Book 27:49Fire Book 57:15Wind Book 1:28:10Void Book 1:49:17
Routine Stitcher proof of concept - (Generating Custom mp3 and video from EXCEL!) Robin Homer 2023-03-31 | This is a proof of concept to allow users to make custom mp3s and videos from Excel using ffmpeg.The idea is to allow people to make an mp3 of their daily routine so they can listen to and follow it. An example is here: youtube.com/watch?v=J1PWEBy-R-oSteps:Excel is the interface and lets users choose what they want included in their routineExcel formulas build the ffmpeg script: put the habits in order, add in countdown timers, add in quotes and affirmations.VBA calls ffmpeg with the commandsmp3 and mp4 files are output.This was how I started to test the concept for an app I'm making called Routine Stitcher
