![]() That said, we realized that we hadn’t really missed the headphone jack as much as we thought we would. Reunited with the 3.5mm headphone jack, we’re reminded of how convenient it is to use if you have regular wired headphones to hand – which you will do, as the iPod Touch comes with a pair of Apple’s infamous EarPods, as well as a Lightning cable for charging. We’ve speculated as to why Apple would include a headphone jack on the new iPod, with possible explanations ranging from the superior audio quality provided by wired headphones to the theory that Apple is trying to appeal to children who may find wireless headphones fiddly and annoying to use. ![]() Apple stopped including headphone jacks on its smartphones a long time ago in favor of its own multi-purpose Lightning port, with the last jack-friendly models, the iPhone 6S and iPhone SE, being discontinued in 2018. The bottom edge of the Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) houses a built-in speaker, Lightning port, and, puzzlingly, a 3.5mm headphone jack.

However, many third party retailers do have some models and colors of the iPod Touch (7th generation) available – we're just not sure how long they'll stick around.Īt the time of writing, you can find the 32GB model for $199 / £199 / AU$299 / AED 849, with the price rising to $299 / £299 / AU$499 / AED 1,269 for the 128GB model.

Smooth Aster is easy to grow but doesn’t like being shaded by taller plants. The flowers are frost hardy and bloom late into fall while the tough stems will persist through the winter months. In the Garden: Smooth Aster is valued by gardeners for its copious blue blooms and non-aggressive growth habit. Flowers give way to dry, brown, narrowly cone-shaped seeds, each with a tuft of light brown hairs that allow them to be carried by the wind. They are smooth, appressed (flattened), and light green to bluish green and have diamond-shaped ends with a dark tip. Four to six layers of bracts surround the base of each flower. Petal colour can vary from light blue to light purple. Individual flowers measure up to 2.5 cm across and feature 15 to 30 oblong ray florets (petals) surrounding yellow centres that turn purplish red with age. Flowers can also arise from upper leaf axils (where the leaves meet the stem). Open, branching flower clusters are found at the top of the plant. The basal leaves are toothed with winged petioles and are oblanceolate. They are smooth (almost waxy), shiny, toothless, and greenish blue on top and light green underneath. Leaves clasp the stems in an alternate pattern and measure about 10 cm long and 4 cm wide.

This is a smaller version of U-he’s popular Zebra 2 synth. It packs in 1 oscillator, 1 filter, 1 envelope and an arpeggiator/sequencer. The first one, Podolski is about as simple as a soft synth can get in terms of features. ![]() U-He is most famous for their very expansive and feature-packed analog emulating soft synths but they also have a few smaller synths that they give away to members for free. Not only does this plugin sound great, but it’s fun to mess with and once you add effects, you can get some really cool, really original sounds. It sounds so good and the user interface is designed so well that it makes me want to see what else they have to offer. I understand why Ample Sound wants to give away this plugin for free. It’s so flexible, well designed, the effects sound great, the samples sound great, that it almost feels like stealing. Honestly, this free instrument from Ample Sound, sounds amazing. Have you recently been looking for a free steel tongue drum software instrument? You have? Well, you’re in luck! You’re not going to find another virtual instrument that sounds quite like the Cloud Drum, no matter how much you’re willing to spend. As always with Togu’s plugins, the graphical user interface isn’t the most flashy, but it’s easy to read and makes sense, which is all I really ask for. TAL is famous for their U-No-LX synth which is a very accurate Juno 106 emulation, loved by 80s music fans as well as modern EDM producers. This one is a really cool, easy-to-use 3 oscillator synth from Togu Audio Line. Here’s a free 80s style vocoder designed to keep vocals more intelligible than other more modern styles of vocoders. Try it out and let me know if you find a use for it! Virtual Instruments It looks really cool but I’m not sure what I’d ever use it for. They call this one a “5 band frequency monitor”. There’s a time a place for Dorrough meters and other loudness meters but VU’s have made it clear they are here to stay. Works great, looks great, what more can you ask for? I love using these during tracking as I enjoy the look of analog VUs and it’s what I’m used to. There’s also a really nice sounding width control that I like to use as a spreader. ![]() Stereo Tool allows you to flip the phase of individual channels. ![]() This is a visually pleasing vector scope that helps reveal the phase integrity of your mix. This is more akin to the type you are used to seeing in some of your favorite equalizer plugins. This is different than the previously mentioned AnSpec one-third analog octave style. This is another spectrum analyzer except this one uses a fast Fourier transform algorithm which means it samples a signal over a period of time and divides it into its frequency components. Voxengo has two free metering tools worth checking out. Other plugins will restrict you from accessing the presets before upgrading. For instance, the gate only allows you to change the threshold, while the attack, release and hold parameters are fixed unless you purchase a license. The only catch is that some features that are not adjustable without a license. I love this thing, and have tried it on a few different sources including synths and vocals with extremely successful results. Then, there’s the “Comp Listen Mic” plugin which is a one-knob compressor designed to do the Phil Collins “room talkback mic” effect. T here’s also a really cool project timer included so that you can track exactly how long you’ve spent trying to get those drums “just right.” (It’s also very useful for when you need to bill a client.) The only problem is you’d have to remember to hit “pause” when you get up to do something else, leaving Pro Tools open. The Tilt EQ for one is something I did not previously have. Regardless of those freebie limitations, there are still a few really great plugins here, even without the upgrade. The Hofa 4U pack is one of those aforementioned bundles that do have some features disabled. (You can never have too many flangers, remember that kids.) It includes an EQ and a pretty decent frequency analyzer, but the modulation effects are the standouts in this pack, including a phaser, chorus and flanger. If you’re sick of the stock plugins and need some new flavors, this plugin pack will definitely help you get there. ![]() I still remember staring at that smashed Stratocaster, wondering, ‘Where is that sound coming from?’”Īrgentine writer Marcelo Gobello is a Gallagher expert who wrote a book about the Irish musician. Still well below what he deserved, according to May, who said, “He was a magician, you know? One of the few people back then who could make his guitar do whatever he wanted. In their revised 2015 list, Gallagher made it to number 57. Queen guitarist Brian May, ranked at number 37, even called Rolling Stone to complain about Gallagher’s exclusion. When Rolling Stone magazine published its list of the 100 best guitarists of all time in 2003, Gallagher wasn’t on it, prompting many musicians to protest. He didn’t understand music that didn’t come from the gut. Rory immersed himself in the Chicago blues, later expanding his musical horizons to encompass folk, rock, jazz experimentation and the rich tapestry of Irish tradition. With his eyes closed, he sang, barely glancing at the guitar as he weaved his captivating solos. A worn-out guitar for a guy with rock-solid ethics.

But hey, it’s a pretty cool quote, isn’t it?” said Daniel Gallagher, Rory’s nephew and keeper of his uncle’s legacy. ![]() “Supposedly Hendrix said this to Rolling Stone magazine, but I couldn’t find any evidence of it. Rory Gallagher, who died in 1995 and esteemed for his musical ability and integrity, was allergic to celebrity and preferred to remain mysterious and aloof. Nevertheless, it could perfectly well be a true story. Rock historians generally accept this anecdote as true, even though no one has found any evidence to support it. At the press conference, a reporter asked, “How does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world?” Hendrix shrugged and replied, “I don’t know, ask Rory Gallagher.” Two days later, Jimi Hendrix, already a global superstar, gives a typically rousing performance at the festival. The Irish musician captivates both audiences and experts alike with his impressive power, talent and emotional intensity.
