![]() ![]() While Audacity aspires to some extremely basic multitrack recording with overdubs, its real use is as a solid stereo editor. In each of our reviews, we did our best to approach each product as a whole, rather than devoting the majority of the space to just the latest features that were added in the most recent update.īefore we get to the specifics, the simplest program for audio editing is a two-track editor probably the most famous example here is the free Audacity. ![]() That's great for the existing user base of each DAW, but maybe not always quite as clear for newcomers. Numerous venerable (and excellent) recording magazines have reviewed these applications many times over the years. How to decide? To help with this task, we went out and tested the most popular DAWs. It's all nearly unlimited and "in the box" now. You can create as many instances of effect plug-ins as you want, including spot-on emulations of compressors that used to cost several thousand dollars each and attach them to as many mixer channels as you want. Software packages that cost a few hundred dollars now deliver hundreds of audio tracks and incredibly flexible editing. Digital audio recording on the computer was just starting to become affordable. The only easy multitrack recording you could do at the time was with MIDI, with hardware synthesizers or samplers, and maybe with a Mac or an (aging) Atari ST (Opens in a new window) computer attached as a sequencer. And you'd be sharply limited in the kinds of projects you could produce. If you were on a budget, you'd probably stick with a tried-and-true Tascam or Yamaha four-track tape recorder and Alesis compressor, get used to bouncing tracks in mono, make peace with tape hiss, and remember to clean the tape heads every week. In other words, you were looking at about $10K to $15K worth of gear to start-and that's before you got to microphones, speakers, and other accessories. Twenty-five years ago, to record a music album at a professional level, you needed a sizable mixing console, several eight-track digital records (such as ADATs or DA-88s), and a good selection of outboard compressors, reverb units, and other effects, plus a two-track deck to mix down to.

![]() ![]() From slowly traversing medium-sized rocks, to hitting some speed on the dirt and sand roads around the park. I didn’t get too gnarly, but the tires stuck to whatever I pointed it at. Instead, I took a quick trip up to the Hungry Valley off-road area. They are begging for me to drive the Mojave Road, but that adventure will have to wait. I honestly could not wait to get these tires in the dirt. Potholes are normally a jaw-rattling experience in my street tires, but the Goodyears just soaked it up. The ride went great, even after I hit my first pothole. There was no wandering or wobble, and the tires seemed to be at home on in chaotic LA traffic. I spent 20 minutes on the freeway driving home from America’s Tire, and the tires felt great. I’m not sure how Goodyear achieved this, but they describe it as an on-road tire wrapped in an all-terrain package, which it certainly is.Ī computer-modeled tread design that optimizes rubber voids is the real magic behind the silent ride, and we’re all for it! On-Road Performance The Goodyear Wrangler® UltraTerrain AT™ tires are as quiet as my previous low-profile street tires. The aggressive look of this tire had me worried about street “howl”, but I was shocked to hear nothing. The LT275/65R20 sized tires filled in the wheel wells nicely, and my Bilstein leveling kit ensured that I had no issues with rubbing. The new tires instantly gave my F150 a much more aggressive look without having a lift. They finished the job by washing my new tires and wheels, before sending me on my way. They took the time to test and make sure there was no rubbing on the front tires on full lockout since I was going with a larger sized tire. Enrique and his crew of tire technicians had my new tires installed and balanced within 30 minutes. I was greeted by a friendly and familiar face that I instantly recognized as Lamar who had previously installed tires for me at their North Hollywood location.īecause I had an appointment I went to the front of the line. My closest tire shop is an America’s Tire in Glendale, CA, so I headed that way for installation. The Goodyear Wrangler® UltraTerrain AT™ tires are exclusively available at Discount Tire and America’s Tire. And that translates to peace of mind no matter what I’m hauling or where I’m going. The 10-ply “E” rating and 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Certification, prove that this tire can handle the heaviest of loads in the worst winter conditions. The tire had more of a mud-terrain look with the wide-open shoulder blocks and sidewall treads. The look of a tire is honestly near the bottom of what I’m seeking in a tire, but the tread design in the Goodyears was sharp. I don’t think I’m asking for much, but you’d be surprised that with all of the tire options available, it’s tough to find one that not only meets all of those basic requirements but is a high performer across the board.īefore signing on to check out the Goodyear Wrangler® UltraTerrain AT™, I wanted to make sure they would fit my needs. I need a taller tire to gain some sidewall for ride comfort and a bit more ground clearance.An “E” rated tire will ensure that I don’t worry about the weight. Once a month I haul heavy building materials that can include lumber, slate, and bricks.I’m extra cautious since the truck is only two-wheel drive, so I need a tire that will perform in those situations. Our family makes 2-3 ski trips per year and we sometimes encounter snow and ice.5% of my driving is on graded dirt roads where I occasionally encounter large rocks, washed out sections, and the rare mud and rain.90% of my driving is on the pavement and freeways, so I need a surefooted tire that rolls quietly at all speeds.My truck tire needs are basic but fairly common There just wasn’t enough sidewall to cushion the ride and the shallow street tread was always one sharp rock away from a blowout. I travel out to our family ranch every few months and although 95% of the drive is on the pavement, there is that 5% dirt road that was always sketchy with my old tires. These new rims came with low profile tires that were well suited for on-road driving, but a rough ride on the smoothest of fire roads. Four years ago, I switched out the factory 18-inch chrome wheels with 20-inch aluminum takeoffs from a new 2016 F150. The truck is a two-wheel-drive Supercrew that has always performed well on the freeways of Los Angeles. ![]() It’s served me well, but the tires have needed an upgrade for a couple of years. It’s a daily driver, family-hauler, surf mobile, and ranch work truck. I have a 2008 Ford F150, that serves as my do-it-all truck. Goodyear Wrangler UltraTerrain AT New Tires for F-150 Daily Driver.My truck tire needs are basic but fairly common. ![]() ![]() ![]() On the right we are given readings for gamma (1.7), colour temperature / white point (5847k) and luminance (170 cd/m 2). For reference, the colour space for ISOcoated is also shown in white. This doesn't look quite right, more on that in a second. In this case, the black triangle represents the gamut of our Dell 2405FPW test screen, and the triangle does not meet the sRGB triangle as one might expect. The left hand side shows aCIE diagram which shows the colour gamut of the screen being tested. This process takes around 15 second, and at the end, you are presented with a very basic diagram and results summary as shown above. I tested the software on my Dell 2405FPW screen (which we have used for all our colorimeter testing), leaving the monitor OSD untouched with a brightness of 35 and 32, 34, 34 for RGB channels respectively.įollowing the 'test and report' process allows you to place the device on the screen over the coloured circle, before a series of different colours are flashed in front of the device. I restored my graphics card to its default settings and de-activated the saved ICC profile being used. Gamma of 2.2 - default for computer monitors and the standard for the Windows operating system and the Internet-standard sRGB colour spaceĪs you can see from the image above, you are presented with options to either 'test and report' on your current configuration, or to calibrate the screen. As a reminder, for LCD monitors, we always aim towards the same settings in our reviews.

With its timesaving Color Evaluation tool, you can verify monitor settings and recalibrate if necessary. Manual hardware calibration of White Point Temperature, Gamma, and Brightness settings can easily be performed. 'LaCie's blue eye 2 is a complete monitor calibration and automatic ICC profiling tool that ensures accurate color rendering. The device still offers manual hardware calibration for LCD's and CRT's, along with automatic ICC profiling. The Blue Eye 2 package features the same hardware device, but the software package is different. There is another package available from LaCie however, and it retails for a more affordable £209.90. We use the full Pro package and all it's features in our reviews, but the price of this package is high at around £299.90 GBP. In fact, many colorimeter packages come with the same hadrware device (an X-rite Eye-One Display 2), but are then packaged with varying software suites, with different functions and features, and ultimately a different cost. These include the dE graphs and measurements of gamma, colour temperature and luminance that you see commonly in our reviews and it is this extensive reporting function that separates the Blue Eye Pro package from other software packages from other providers. The LaCie software we use allows us to calibrate the monitors professionally, and also offers a very useful range of test and report features allowing us to analyse the performance before and after calibration. Back in November 2006 we reviewed the LaCie Blue Eye Pro calibration package, which has since become our software of choice for all our reviews and monitor analysis. ![]() ![]() This mouse is used by gamers all over the world and is known for its high quality and performance.
