It is most commonly referred to as autotune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITT6bYYGVfM&t=53s edit: The range of examples should be good on this question.

CaptainViolence posted:I think what you're looking for is a vocoder. It's used a lot in electronic music and sometimes hip-hop, but it's around in a lot of other different genres too. I think Daft Punk uses it pretty frequently (I've only listened to one album but it had a lot of vocoder on it), and the Clockwork Orange soundtrack is full of it. ELO, Pink Floyd, and Styx have used vocoders before, too, but I don't remember how much (probably not much). I'm not familiar with ELO or Styx, but Pink Floyd generally uses a single vocoder, and it's not just the use of a vocoder that I'm interested in, but (what sounds like) multiple ones used in harmony to produce chords. axolotl farmer posted:Sounds like a pretty regular autotune effect. XmasGiftFromWife posted:It is most commonly referred to as autotune. That sounds a lot closer and should be fairly easy to search for. Thanks!

My current smartphone is a Sony Xperia Go. It has 1GHz dual-core CPU and 512MB RAM. I dislike it because it tends to lag a lot, occassionally, freezing, when using Google Maps. I'm considering upgrading to the Xperia S, which has a 1.5GHz CPU and 1 GHz RAM. How dramatic an improvement in performance can I expect? I mainly use my phone for GPS.

I got lazy the other day and threw my pea coat on my bed instead of hanging it up and my all white cat took a nap in it. Does anyone know a to trick to get this thing cleaned up besides a million lint roller sheets?

Does anyone know a to trick to get this thing cleaned up besides a million lint roller sheets? Sometimes going over it with a rubber glove will do the trick. Or as a cheap alternative to lint rollers, duct tape wrapped around your hand sticky side out. (My parents have a white cat and my dad uses the rubber glove trick for his recliner).

Is there an A/T (or other forums) thread about volunteering information? I'm not looking for a thread with regional information about how to volunteer, but more general information about what to expect from volunteer work and how to prepare. Specifically, I would like to know about volunteering at a Senior Center/Retirement Home. I have no experience (other than caring for my grandma with dementia), but I'm led to believe that it basically amounts to playing cards with seniors most of the time.

Call a couple places near to you and tell them this. They have a procedure in place for volunteers. You will fill out an application and they will do a background check (which you may or may not have to pay for.) Some centers have specific schedules and needs (a Tuesday 5pm BINGO caller) and others you just come in and let your charm show.

Pookdaddy G posted:Alright, but why? Can you give me some personality traits? I have never cared to watch the movies or crack open the books. Edward is a vampire which is a sterile (heh) frozen existence. He represents himself in a gift as a diamond for her charm bracelet. Jacob is a werewolf which is a shifting, long-lasting, but organic existence. He represents himself in a gift as a carved wooden wolf charm. Being around vampires is being around quick, cool, precise things whereas being around werewolves is being surrounded by raucous eternally-hungry brawling joking telepathically-linked teenage brothers. Being around Edward and his family is being around someone who is agonized over her fragility, whereas being with Jacob and his friends is being treated like one of the gang in a way. I guess it's supposed to be perfect romantic love versus friendly comfortable love. The girl never fit in with people growing up, and she could choose to be who she already is with Jacob, or choose to be who she always felt she ought to be with Edward. That's right. I read them. And I don't care if this was a trap.

Burger King in Japan actually has two burger sets based on Edward and Jacob. The Edward set is the "Herbivore Set," probably referring to the herbivorous males (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbivore_men) and the Jacob set is the "Carnivore Set." It's not strictly accurate but that's the image they have -- Edward's the lofty pretty boy and Jacob's the down-to-earth manly man. Just an anecdote.

Suraisu? So the Jacob set has a beef patty, and the Edward set has something about "suraisu" and a salad. And "ringo"? I doubt they mean "apple" or the Beatle. Can you break this down for me a bit? I haven't had to do much more than order beer in Japanese since college.

Jacob: Apple burger with two beef patties Edward: Apple burger with two apple slices and salad instead of fries This is as much a commentary on Japanese views of "vegetarian" as it is a commentary on Edward and Jacob's images in Japan. :P Edit: They do actually mean apple. It's quite good.

Well, crap. The more you know. I just assumed I must be screwing up, because apples on burgers just seems weird. Thanks! That's really cool. And it looks like I desperately need to brush up on my Japanese.

I'll trust it wasn't a trap only if I don't wake up to a sparkling Don Draper avatar tomorrow. Seriously, though, I am curious why you asked since I assume you still have little interest in the books or movies and the default state of all self-respecting internet denizens is merciless derision. -- I asked before to no avail, but it doesn't hurt to try to make the most out of a post: is there a reliable, trustworthy, effective program or method of recovering/overriding a OneNote password? I don't know enough to unfuck my system if I download something malicious, so a recommendation from someone would go a long way. ...I must know what lies behind the impassive login screen of "Misc(1)" in my Work Notebook. Probably an accidental copy of "Misc" but I won't rule out an unpublished novel of unparalleled genius written in a fugue state.

A couple years ago, the girl I was dating was really into Twilight and wanted me to go with her to the newest movie premier. I said I would, but only if I cold wear a shirt that said "Team Tyler's Van." Early in the first book/movie some kid named Tyler almost kills Bella with a van. She is saved by Edward.

Hey, did Google Drive do something recently to cause its icon to change? (Win 7.) It changed after the weekend on both my desktop and laptop to a green box with a white line, kind of like what you'd expect a "stock ticker" app to look like. (I was out of town and both were off from Friday night till Monday/today.) I first saw it on my desktop and thought it was a weird, one-time thing. I went to change the icon and Windows said it couldn't find the EXE file, so I thought something was wrong. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the old icon was back. When it did the same thing on my laptop, I changed the icon manually by pointing the explorer window to the file in programfiles (x86)\google\drive.

I thought for sure there was either an A/T or PYF thread on "Help me remember x" but I can't seem to find it, if there's a better thread to ask this. I'm trying to remember the name of a free mid/late 90s online game I used to play. It was, I think, both deathmatch and CTF, possibly with bases? There were definitely structures in the gameworld It was a clunky moving first person shooter but did have a third person view. It was sort of a blasted, standard space landscape, with varied buildings, and you played as a mech-thing and could upgrade components if I remember right. Not an official MechWarrior/BattleTech (I just googled Multiplayer BattleTech: Solaris and the other variant, it was almost like those, but with worse graphics) game or ripoff like Heavy Gear. The mechs, or whatever you played as sort of looked like Star Wars AT-STs but the heads were more rounded and they were smaller in the game world - not as gangly. I got IP banned for arguing with a mod at some point for over 100 years, so I never played it after those first few weeks.

No way in hell are you getting a razor into carry on anymore, hoss, sorry. By a cheap disposable when you land and rough it for a few days? Maybe you could just take out the blades and buy those locally? Although, I don't think that would save much if any money.

Is it ok for your boss to curse and yell at you? I mean I know that really, I should never be berated at the workplace because that's unprofessional, and I'm getting really tired of it, but is it something I can file some kind of complaint with L&I about? I'm already looking for a new job, but I want to make their lives frustrating when I do find a new job. How about if I also very rarely get a lunch break if at all?
