![]() That eye watering budget has been put to good use on exotic locations and extravagant gadgets. Assuming an average show budget of $3.05 million an episode, that works out to over $36 million for the seasons, or some $109.8 million across the three promised seasons. Wilman, who is also the executive producer of The Grand Tour, has said the new show's production costs range between $1.2 million ( £1 million) to $4.9 million (£4 million) an episode. ![]() When Clarkson helmed the show at the BBC, it boasted a budget of some $556,000 (£450,000) an episode. Of the production budget, Clarkson won't reveal exact amounts: "It's not that much bigger than it was at the BBC, it's just we have to waste less of it on health and safety," he explained. Clarkson refuted the figure and said, "it's all made-up nonsense." But it's likely his take-home is now in the seven figures, FORBES estimates. According to reports, his salary was set to jump to $12.3 million ( £10 million) on The Grand Tour, which would place him along the highest-paid show hosts. Its Top Gear magazine touts some 1.7 million subscribers.Ĭlarkson was BBC's highest-paid star, earning some $891,000 for his services in 2014 alone. Along with executive producer Andy Wilman, h e devised Top Gear's one-hour format and helped ran all 22 series of Top Gear between 20, when it became the world's most widely-watched factual TV program seen in 212 territories. The firing followed Clarkson's suspension after a "fracas" in which he was reported to have punched producer Oisin Tymon over post-wrap dining arrangements, according to The Telegraph.Ĭlarkson hosted Top Gear since 1988, bringing on co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond. The longtime host was let go in 2015 for an "unprovoked physical and verbal attack" on a producer, the BBC stated. Many Americans also watched the Clarkson-led show on BBC America, where Top Gear regularly ranked among the cable channel’s highest-rated shows. ![]() ![]() With Clarkson at the helm, Top Gear generated some $225 million in annual revenue for the broadcaster's commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, according to Variety. You'd be forgiven for seeing sense in them. "There are lots of nonsense figures being batted around." "Obviously, slightly larger, but it's not $250 million," Clarkson rebutted, speaking in New York in November. ![]() ![]() ![]() The use of drones to attack the base at al-Tanf points to capabilities possessed only by Iran and its Shi’ite proxies in Iraq and Syria. This message has been well understood by Tehran hence the initiative and brazenness in attacking the Americans in Syria and in Iraq. Although the Biden administration has plenty of spare time to squabble with Israel over the opening of a Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem, it has neither the energy nor the will to confront Iran. Trump also believed that forgiving or turning a blind eye to the Iranians’ endeavors wouldn’t lead to calm, but rather the complete opposite it would only encourage them.Īs for the current occupant of the White House, the Middle East is not at the top of his list of priorities, to say the least. president was Donald Trump, who sought to curb Iran and push it back, not appease it. to chop off the head of the Iranian snake, Qassem Soleimani, in January 2020.Īt that time, however, the U.S. ![]() Similar acts of aggression, including the attempted attack on the U.S. Under normal circumstances, an attack by Iran or its proxies on an American base would spark significant commotion. Israel, too, in its own efforts to torpedo Iran’s machinations, has repeatedly attacked weapons warehouses and Shi’ite militia bases in the area. The Americans are trying to prevent this from happening, albeit without tremendous determination or noteworthy success. It is part of the land route earmarked by Iran to transfer weapons, missiles and fighters to Hezbollah and other loyalist forces in the Syrian arena. It sits on the linking point between Tehran and Beirut, Damascus and Baghdad. Although Al-Tanf is a small base, it is a bone in Tehran’s throat. ![]() ![]() It is likely that anything compatible with class-compliant MIDI (or rigged to do so) can be targeted by the External Instrument plug-in. While not every synth out there will work as easily as these ones do, most of them will, and the OS X MIDI Studio is (crazy) powerful and easy to use. You just spent 40 hours making a decent song, it’s probably worth listening through to your bounce as it happens you Offline junkies. ![]() Now this may not be the case for every synth, but it is for most of them. Note: This is a real instrument, it doesn’t live in your computer! In order to “Bounce” the tracks we have created on External Instrument plug-ins, we will either need to record/Bounce the parts to audio beforehand, OR use the Realtime bouncing option (like a boss). We can record MIDI, use Audio FX, sends and more, just like any other Software Instrument track. Now we are given what is essentially a typical Software Instrument track with your external gear configured and ready to go. In our case, it’s Output 1 + 2, the master outputs on our audio interface.ħ. In the bottom right Output pull-down menu, we select our usual main audio output. On the bottom section, choose the physical input on your audio interface you plugged your synth/gear into from the bottom left Input pull-down menu. Under Output in the track dialog, you’ll notice your compatible external MIDI hardware should be recognized and available in the upper pull-down menu. In the “Details” section of the new track dialog we make sure the “Use External Instrument plug-in” option is checked-off.ĥ. In the new track dialog, select External MIDI from the track options ( Software Instrument, Audio, Drummer, External MIDI, Guitar or Bass).Ĥ. ![]() Click the + icon in the upper left corner of Logic or press key command “command + Option + N” to create a new track.ģ. Next we need to create an External Instrument plug-in track in Logic. Some advanced users may prefer that route, but these steps will likely get you there faster and easier.Ģ. Note: The External Instrument plug-in can be loaded up manually on Software Instrument tracks just like any other instrument as well, and can be configured directly from the UI. In most cases, we will also need cables running from our synth’s main output into our audio interface for audio playback. In most cases, and in the case of our example with the Prophet 12, that will mean a USB cable from the synth to our Mac (or USB hub) in order to carry MIDI data. We’ll need to make sure our hardware synth is connected to our Mac. This is not just for more expensive gear from DSI and Moog for example, even some of Korg’s sub $200 synths and the affordable Arturia Brute-series are compatible with the set-up below:ġ. Korg, Arturia, Moog, DSI and many more have great external synths and gadgets to make music on, many of which will work with Logic’s External Instrument plug-in just by connecting a USB cable. But many of the most popular, new external gear has basic note-based MIDI (at least) built-in, so why not take advantage of the modern day amenities? We can certainly just use/record our external gear like say a typical guitar, or even just set-up MIDI tracks and audio tracks manually. ![]() This will essentially create a hybrid audio/MIDI track, not unlike a typical Software Instrument track, except the MIDI that resides (or gets recorded) on that track will be fired out to your external gear and the resulting audio routed directly back to the same track… that isn’t necessarily the case as LPX has us covered with its External instrument plug-in option. To get our MIDI parts (recorded or live) out to our external synth and then the resulting audio back into our song we would need a MIDI track, an audio track destination and all of the corresponding routing setup manually. Ok, so we have an external synthesizer or instrument, but how do we get it to work with our Logic studio without the need for multiple tracks? The goal here is to integrate our external gear with LPX just like any another plug-in in our library. LPX has a handy feature that makes it so many of the most popular and sought-after external synths/MIDI-instruments can integrate just as smoothly: It really doesn’t get any easier than loading up your favorite soft-synth, but that doesn’t mean they are as fun or inspiring as the real thing. In this week’s episode of The Logic Pros, we are taking a look at how Logic handles external MIDI-based instruments in the real world. ![]() ![]() mercs multiplayer mode introduced in Pandora Tomorrow. ![]() The game will also feature Judi Dench as M, and singer Joss Stone in the "Bond girl" role, as well as an original song written and performed by Stone and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics.īlood Stone will also have a 16-player multiplayer mode, which is described as pitting "spies" versus "mercenaries," which is no doubt a description that'll catch the attention of anyone who enjoyed Splinter Cell's classic spies vs. The press release explains the story will take players "into an explosive third-person action adventure where they will unravel an international conspiracy across exotic locales and experience full-throttle, behind-the-wheel action on land and sea." This will include visiting Athens, Istanbul, Monaco, and Bangkok, and the press release promises cover-based firefights as well as hand-to-hand combat. Feirstein is no stranger to the Bond franchise, as he's previously worked on the scripts for Pierce Brosnan Bond films GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The World is Not Enough, as well as a couple past Bond games: Everything or Nothing, and From Russia with Love. Blood Stone will not, however, be based on any prior Bond movie, as it has an original story written by Bruce Feirstein. As for that cinematic heritage, Blood Stone makes no claims to be a sequel to Quantum of Solace, but does apparently use the same core palettes and camera cuts as that film and its predecessor, Casino Royale.Blood Stone will feature the likeness of current Bond (at least, current Bond until further notice) Daniel Craig in the title role, same as with the GoldenEye remake Activision recently announced for the Wii. It all looks pretty slick, delivering the promised cinematic thrills, with Bizarre Creations keen to stress that the cut-scenes mask the loading times to deliver a seamless experience - otherwise known as common decency. (Yes, we know there were also no cars in Geometry Wars, forum spotters.) Successfully pulling one of these off rewards you with a focus shot, enabling you to unerringly pop a cap in the next enemy's head, chaining moves together in a fashion loosely comparable to Bizarre Creations other off-road outing, the misjudged and misunderstood third-person shooter The Club, with whom Blood Stone shares a level designer, called Pete. This precipitates some efficient combat, with Bond swiftly tearing through the environment and performing some of his purported 65 to 70 takedown moves. Most importantly, it shows you where the exploding barrels are. Has he got a text? Is he tweeting? No, it's an "augmented reality smartphone", essentially an information-gathering device that shows you on-screen exactly where your enemies are, what weapons they're packing, their awareness state, and some secondary objectives to flesh out the single-player mode. Bond naturally crawls out of the wreckage unharmed and immediately pulls out his phone. There's a genuine Achievement called 'Three Birds, One Blood Stone.'īack to the presentation, and prior to the dam infiltration there's a torture scene followed by some airborne shenanigans resulting in a plane crash in the Burmese jungle. The alternate argument is that they're really good at it and should stick to what they know. 'They' of course are Liverpool-based Bizarre Creations, who have been making superb driving games for so long that they must be heartily sick of it. In reality, what they're actually saying is "be Daniel Craig's Bond" - the message being that this is a visceral, brutal, contemporary, gadget-lite, action-heavy 007 who is more likely to snap your neck with his bare hands than shine a laser out of his digital watch. To clarify that I'm writing about the correct game, I check my notes, on which I have cryptically daubed 'BE D.CRAIG.' I've even underlined it, once for each time that a slightly nervy man with a North West accent says it. Blood Stone is a third-person affair, with a seemingly botoxed Mr Craig doing his bit for queen and country. ![]() This time it's different though nobody laughs, the graphics are slightly crisper, and you can see him, or at least the back of his head. ![]() Somebody laughs out loud.īlood Stone finally gets its turn, and I nurse another tepid carbonated beverage during a presentation in which Daniel Craig infiltrates another dam. Girded by a lukewarm Diet Coke, I patiently sit through the GoldenEye presentation in which Daniel Craig infiltrates a dam. It starts badly when I mistake the bowler hat-wearing doormen for Oddjob impersonators, and gets worse when a man dressed as a sailor turns out to be the PR contact. Has there ever been a more confusing press event? With Activision frugally deciding to kill two birds with one bloodstone, both of its forthcoming Bond games have been squeezed into the penthouse suite of a (s)wanky Mayfair hotel. ![]() ![]() As in the original, the objective of the game is to travel to the various galaxies and collect Power Stars, which are awarded by completing levels and accomplishing tasks and are used to gain access to later levels. The player controls Mario (or later in the game, his brother Luigi, though using him is optional), who has special abilities such as the "Spin" attack, long jump, wall jumps, and a variety of somersaults. Planets and galaxies each have varying themes, sizes, landscapes, and climates. The gameplay of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is similar to Super Mario Galaxy, with a focus on platforming based on and around 3D planets, grouped into levels known as galaxies. It is frequently considered by critics to be one of the greatest video games of all time and is one of the best-selling games on the Wii with over seven million copies sold worldwide. Upon release, Super Mario Galaxy 2 was met with critical acclaim, and was considered an improvement over its already-lauded predecessor, with its creativity, gameplay and technological improvements over the original receiving high praise, although its high difficulty (in comparison to its predecessor) received some criticism. Among the new additions are dynamic environments, new power-ups, and the addition of Yoshi. As such, development time expanded to two and a half years. However, it was later decided that the game would be expanded into a fully fleshed-out sequel when the development staff continued to build upon the game with dozens of new ideas. The game was originally planned as an updated version of Super Mario Galaxy, known as Super Mario Galaxy More. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mario must travel across various galaxies to recover the Power Stars in order to travel to the center of the universe and rescue Princess Peach. The story follows Mario as he pursues the Koopa King, Bowser, into outer space, where he has imprisoned Princess Peach and taken control of the universe using Power Stars and Grand Stars. It was first announced at E3 2009 and is the sequel to 2007's Super Mario Galaxy. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a 2010 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. ![]() ![]() Plays well, speed is good with Dynarec+BIOS.
