RQ-170 Sentinel
Middle Eastern power hopes to use capture U.S. stealth drone to further its own UAV ambitions
It remains one of the highest profile embarrassments of the U.S. Armed Forces and Intelligence community in recent years: the
loss of the RQ-170 spy drone
to the Iranian army.
I. Iran Claims to Have Cracked Drone's Encrypted Data Files
While the U.S. still claims that it was a technical malfunction that downed the drone, many defense experts were swayed by Iran's
detailed explanation
of how it jammed U.S. control signals and duped the drone into think it was performing a landing in a similar altitude home base.
The daring kidnapping sent the U.S. backpedalling after initially claiming the incident
could be a hoax
. The Iranian black op drew criticism from U.S. President Obama, who
demanded the drone back
. Iran agreed to return
a drone
, but then
mockingly offered to give the POTUS a pink toy drone
, versus the captured flyer.
Now Iran is vocalizing once more, claiming it's cracking into the flyer's encrypted software.
States Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division on state-run television (as
reported by
The Defense News
), "I am giving you four codes so the Americans understand just how far we have gone in penetrating the drone's secrets. In October 2010, the aircraft was sent to California for some technical issues, where it was repaired and, after flight tests, it was taken to Kandahar (in Afghanistan) in November 2010, when a series of technical problems still prevailed. In December 2010, it was sent to an airport near Los Angeles for repair of its equipment and sensors, and flight tests. The drone was then sent back to Kandahar."
Iran has refused President Obama's demands that it return the drone.

The comments indicate that the Iranians may have gained access to the flyer's encrypted flight logs. While that wouldn't necessarily be as damaging as if they gained access to the core control logic, it raises the question of how many secrets they'll be able to extract from the captured U.S. air-bot.

II. Senior Senator Lieberman Blows Off Claims
Iran's claims have been
countered by Leon Panetta
, although he has not formally denied that Iran cracked the flyer's logs.
U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman
(I-Conn.), head of the
Senate Homeland Security Committee
, was also quick to mock the comments as "Iranian bluster", remarking, "There is some history here of Iranian bluster, particularly now when they're on the defensive because of our economic sanctions against them."

The loss of the drone is a sore subject, particularly amid Iran's claims that it will produce copies of the drone. Gen. Hajizadeh brags, "This aircraft is a national treasure for us, and I cannot divulge [more details] about it. [But we will] started producing a copy of the RQ-170 drone."
Iran has been
working on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
for several years now, according to U.S. intelligence.
The edge the captured design could give it is a big headache to the U.S. as reportedly the stealth technology in the drone -- which was captured on a special
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency
mission -- is similar to that used in American stealth fighters and bombers. Amid Iran's
suspected nuclear ambitions
, there's much concern about how far the nation could get technologically.
The Middle Eastern giant may be relatively hostile to the west, but it's also a fast developing technology power. While it's struggled with economic challenges in recent years, it produces over a million cars a year -- the most of any Middle Eastern nation. Aside from being the region's manufacturing capital, Iran also publishes more peer-reviewed research yearly than any other nation in the Middle East. In short, Iran may be a hostile power and be a bit behind the U.S. on the tech curve, but they're by no means clueless.

It should be interesting to see who's right -- Gen. Hajizadeh or Sen. Lieberman.

RE: Moral of the story...
I said Ron Paul is America's only hope. I didn't say he was going to win. The Republican party is doing everything it can to make sure he doesn't win, and it seems like they'll succeed.
Obama did his best to prevent the destruction of banks (and those who depend on those banks, not just those millionaires), of some of America's greatest industries (see auto manufacturing). I don't know if I agree with his methodology. I'm hoping he'll be able to turn it around in his second term coming up next year. As much as Obama has done, I concede that Ron Paul would have done, and may do, a better job.
It's a crying shame that Bush I and Reagan put so much debt on the shoulders of America. It's a shame that Bush II did the same. And, it's a shame that Obama's doing the same. If they hadn't driven America into debt, America would be laughing and enjoying great prosperity. The only guy who's got a chance right now is Paul, even if it is a small chance.
In reference to terrorism, the only way to stop it is for the cold war to get hot and everyone to die. Attacking countries and killing people year-after-year who had nothing to do with 9/11 is just plain stupid. I'd hoped Obama would have ended those jokes for wars, but we're still continuing the futile campaign.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — State lawmakers fighting tolls on the Sakonnet River Bridge want to delay any possible toll increase until they can review alternatives.
A bill introduced Wednesday would prohibit the state's Turnpike and Bridge Authority from raising the 10-cent toll before July 1.
The authority initially pushed for much higher tolls on the bridge until lawmakers voted last year to cap the toll at 10 cents until April 1.
The bill's sponsor, state Rep. John Edwards of Portsmouth, says extending the 10-cent toll cap until July 1 would give lawmakers time to consider other proposals for raising money for bridge maintenance. Edwards' bill is supported by several top lawmakers in the House.
Residents and business owners in the East Bay say bridge tolls will hurt commuters, small businesses and tourism.

Ramen Bowl Offers Built-In iPhone Dock
Originally published on Thu January 24, 2013 10:19 am
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renée Montagne with a new invention for the lonely diner - a ramen bowl with a built-in iPhone dock. Eating the popular noodle dish normally requires two hands - one for chopsticks, the other for a spoon. Designers at a Taiwanese company noticed a guy trying to do that while juggling his cell phone. So they came up with a way to slurp it up while watching videos or reading emails hands free.
One flaw - no splash guard for the brothy dish. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
Written by Samuel Hoffenstein and Elizabeth Reinhardt from the novel by Margery SharpCinematography by Joseph LaShelleEditing by Dorothy SpencerOriginal music by Cyril MockridgeCast: Charles Boyer, Jennifer Jones, Peter Lawford USA, 1946, 20th Century Fox (Criterion Films USA), 35mm, B&W, 100 min.
Begun two years after a massive heart attack in 1943, Lubitsch's final delight tops off a treasure chest of more than 70 films on the sheer and unadulterated effervescence of Jennifer Jones. Sabrina's unification of Audrey Hepburn and head Lubitsch protégé Billy Wilder would wait until the next decade, but the master's career already came bejeweled with priceless turns from delicate queens (Pickford/Garbo/Tierney). Jones' titular orphan turned preternatural plumber's assistant meets international anti-war hero Charles Boyer, banter/obstacles ensue. Said Wilder to William Wyler, pallbearers at Lubitsch's funeral: "What a shame, no more Lubitsch." "And then [Wyler] said something better. He said, 'And worse, no more Lubitsch pictures.'"

Movie News
Capone's Art-House with WILD GRASS and THE LIVING WAKE!!!
Hey, folks. Capone in Chicago here, with a couple of films that are making their way into art houses around America this week (maybe even taking up one whole screen at a multiplex near you). Do your part to support these films, or at least the good ones…
I may have mentioned this before, but I'm a huge fan of French cinema. In particular, their dramas and suspense works from just about any and every decade. The new film WILD GRASS is a bit of both, as it starts out about an older woman (and oral surgeon) named Marguerite (Sabine Azéma) with flaming red hair, who is mugged on the street and her purse is stolen. More than you might suspect, this incident leaves her rattled to the point where she feels she must recover from the invasion (she isn't hurt) before she can go to the police. Her wallet is found by an elderly gentleman named Georges (André Dussollier), and all seems normal and fine. But two unexpected and entwined things occur, we discover that Georges is a bit of a psychopathic stalker who insists on meeting the unsuspecting Marguerite, who is admittedly intrigued by Georges aggressive behavior. The pair seems attracted and repelled by each other simultaneously. Did I say I love French cinema?
An impossible movie to categorize or properly explain, WILD GRASS loops around from humor to danger to tension to absurdity thanks to a versatile cast that also includes Mathieu Amalric as a police officer who oversees the wallet's transition and is called in to investigate Georges stalking, Emmanuelle Devos as Marguerite's surgery partner, and Anne Consigny as Georges' wife, who seems weirdly unaffected by his behavior, especially once she meets the other women in Georges' life. To say the film is odd would be overly simplistic, but it's the first step in a direction that borders on the unexplainable. Motivations are rarely explained in a satisfying manner, behavior that would be considered bad in other films is given a pass here, and everyone acts just so damn French. I love it. I would absolutely suggest to sample WILD GRASS, but don't be too jolted when the film ends and you're left with more questions and confusion than you can handle. That's part of the twisted fun.
Here's the thing: I'm something of a fan of comedian Mike O'Connell. His delivery is like that of a carnival barker crossed with a raving lunatic, and his mind functions much the same way. That being said, I loathed THE LIVING WAKE, which was written by and stars O'Connell as K. Roth Binew, a misunderstood artist (or so he claims) who embarks on a bicycle road trip leading to a gathering that will serve as his final performance honoring his life in front of an audience of those who know him best (and largely hate him). The strange thing is, there is an exceptional film called GET LOW coming out in a few weeks, starring Robert Duvall and Bill Murray, that covers some of the same ground with a level of sophistication and humor that THE LIVING WAKE can't even touch. Save your money for that movie.
On his bike journey, Binew travels with his mild-mannered sidekick Mills Joquin (ADVENTURELAND and ZOMBIELAND star Jesse Eisenberg). I say mild-mannered because Mills rarely gets to speak, since Binew never shuts the hell up with his series of declarations about his greatness and misunderstood nature. His family doesn't see his genius; the general public isn't clued in either. In fact, it would appear that no one but Binew gets what Binew is all about. The trip is structured as an "Odyssey"-like exercise in self-discovery, and I found the entire thing an endurance test that I'm afraid I failed. By the time we get to the final stage performance, I was about ready to throw bricks at the screen to make it stop. And I felt bad for Eisenberg, who has a real flair for delivering lines, and is reduced to a mumbling sycophant in this film. I felt sorry for the guy. Directed by Sol Tyron, THE LIVING WAKE has been sitting on the shelf for a couple years, and I'm not sure why it's final getting this micro-release now--perhaps because of Eisenberg's rising popularity. Whatever the reason, the two or three of you who might be considering checking this out should just stop.

Thought he'd ruin Zombieland, but he didn't. So well done.
...but it sure smells good!
To bad it's not.
Can't believe this guy is still churning out noteworthy films. He is in a class by himself in French cinema.
...Alain Renais! What, is that meant to be a secret? NIGHT AND FOG, HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR, LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD? I'm sure these are all essential films for any fanboy ho talks back on AICN. Right? Right?
illustrates the folly of running art house reviews on AICN.

Reasonable Impartiality and Priority for Compatriots. A Criticism of Liberal Nationalism's Main flaws
Author: Bader, Veit
Source: Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, Volume 8, Numbers 1-2, April 2005 , pp. 83-103(21)
Publisher: Springer
Distinguishing between reasonable partiality and reasonable impartiality makes a difference in resolving the serious clashes between 'priority for compatriots' versus cosmopolitan global duties. Defenders of a priority for compatriots have to acknowledge two strong moral constraints: states have to fulfil all their special, domestic and trans-domestic duties, and associative duties are limited by distributive constraints resulting from the moral duty to fight poverty and gross global inequalities. In the recent global context, I see four main problems for liberal-nationalist defenders of priority for compatriots: (i) Reasonable particularists often forget that associative duties for compatriots compete with many sub-national and trans-domestic associative duties. (ii) They tend to forget that associative national duties compete with other, strong special (contractual, reparative) obligations regarding not only citizens and residents inside nation-states but also trans-domestic obligations across state borders. (iii) They do not properly discuss the problem of unallocated duties in addressing global poverty and insecurity. (iv) The design of supra-national and global 'mediating' institutions, and the crafting of policies to remedy the misallocation of duties and to coordinate the required state activities is an urgent task neglected by liberal nationalists. In the recent context, reasonable partiality's bias towards partiality is most unwelcome and morally dubious. Reasonable impartiality's bias towards cosmopolitanism helps to stimulate a drastic shift in obligations and stimulates productive trans-national institutional design.Keywords: associative duties; communities of culture and fate; conflicting general and special duties; embedded impartiality; global poverty and insecurity; national duties and moral constraints; obligations; policies; supra-national institutions

It's easy to see what they have in common: they both believe in Jesus Christ that he is the messiah, and savior of the world.

Yesterday at BYU, Ravi drew attention to the eternal, uncreated nature of Jesus Christ and his subsequent incarnation. This is significantly different than Mormon Christology. I'm wondering if many understood the implications.

Crowdsourcing Your BJJ
There's never been a better time to get better at BJJ.
A sixteenth century samurai who wanted to improve his duelling skills had relatively limited options. If he put up with enough hazing and character testing then, maybe, his sensei would eventually decide to teach him some good stuff. And hopefully he would have learned some things by watching, or participating in, the occasional sword fight. (more…)
Lapeloplatas, Feet on Lapel Spider Guards, & Other Gi BJJ Tricks
My friend Ostap Manastyrski and I recently shot a video about the evolving trend in the competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world that involves playing with the lapels of your opponent.
People are now doing spider guard on the lapels, attacking with omoplata-style movements against the lapels, and developing all kinds of new gi-based tricks and strategies to manipulate and off balance their opponents from the bottom.
As we say in the video, we're not sure if this is a good thing or not. But like it or not, it IS a very real trend, so if you compete you need to be aware that it's going on… (more…)
What is the Spider Guard?
What is the Spider Guard?
The Spider Guard is a form of Open Guard where you grip your opponent's wrists or sleeves and have at least one foot controlling at least one of his arms. Typically the sole of your foot will be placed against his biceps, or your leg will spiral around his elbow with your toes hiding underneath his upper arm.
What is the Open Guard?
Are you confused about the definition of the Open Guard? You are NOT alone. In fact, when I started BJJ someone tried to explain the different variations of the Open Guard to me and I think his explanation left me more confused than I had been originally.
So, what is the Open Guard? (more…)

Jiu-jitsu and Physical Attributes
Physical attributes are things like balance, neck strength, limb length, explosiveness, leg flexibility, and percent body fat. Your physical attributes are the foundation of what you can do with your body, and are influenced by genetics, training, age and injuries. (more…)
Gripfighting (Using Your Legs)
Grip fighting is very, very important in grappling. Getting your preferred grip and preventing your opponent from getting his grip is a key component of setting up throws with the gi, takedowns without the gi, sinking chokes, passing the guard, sweeping your opponent from the guard, and so on.

Screw writing "strong" women. Write interesting women. Write well-rounded women. Write complicated women. Write a woman who kicks ass, write a woman who cowers in a corner. Write a woman who's desperate for a husband. Write a woman who doesn't need a man. Write women who cry, women who rant, women who are shy, women who don't take no shit, women who need validation and women who don't care what anybody thinks. THEY ARE ALL OKAY, and all those things could exist in THE SAME WOMAN. Women shouldn't be valued because we are strong, or kick-ass, but because we are people. So don't focus on writing characters who are strong. Write characters who are people."
I may weep until I find it! Help!

Nice reading : )
I Think Charlie is a real bad ass character ! She is fresh and willing to do anything for what she believes in and I loved that.
The humor in the book wasn't lost on me and I felt like talking to a good friend or going on a summer trip.
Anyway a very nice youg adult journey and very sweet romance.

(Source: Downloaded for free from Amazon.co.uk.)
17-year-old Charli wants to do nothing other than go traveling as soon as she graduates high school with her best friend Nicole.
Charli has always been a risk taker, and she's always been special – the way she believed in faeries so fiercely, and took pictures because they were little frozen snippets of time. When she took a risk on her friend Mitch previously, he used her and threw her away though, so when she meets Adam, even though she likes him, she maintains her spikey exterior.
Adam works on her though, and soon they both know that they are in love. Adam's plans are very different from Charli's though. Adam wants to go to Law school in his home city of New York, whilst Charli wants to leave Tasmania and find her true place in the world, which will be somewhere where she can surf.
Can Charli and Adam ever truly be together and both be happy? Can Charli break Adam's heart and send him back to New York alone? And what if Charli's place in the world is wherever Adam is?
This was an emotional and thought provoking YA contemporary, that made me want to travel, find true love, and find my place in the world.
Charli was an interesting character, I didn't quite get why she was so standoffish at first, but once her history was revealed, it all made a bit more sense. I loved how she had made herself tough to put up with her bullies though, and I loved how desperately she wanted to spread her wings and fly. I didn't quite get why she wanted to leave her home town and never come back, but it was obviously something that she felt really strongly about.
I liked some of the characters in this book more than others, and I think Charli was really lucky to have the support of Alex, as well as Adam and Gabrielle. If I ever come across her best friend Nicole though there will be trouble, because she is quite possibly the worst best friend ever, and Charli really didn't deserve the way Nicole treated her.
I liked the storyline in this book, and there were quite a few twists in the tale that I didn't see coming. There were moments when I wondered where the story was going to take us, and also things that made me really angry, but it all came together in a quite emotional book, and I liked the romance, even though it wasn't your typical 'happy ever after' kind of story.
I did get a bit upset with some of the events in this book, and although we were left with a sense of hope in the end, I didn't really like the way things were left between Charli and Adam, and I really want to read the next book now to work out what happens next.
Overall; a good YA contemporary romance, that makes you want to travel, find true love, and find your place in the world, and in someone's heart.
7.5 out of 10.

I'm not really a dedicated mobile phone user and this phone was on offer at my local O2 store, it looked good, and had lots of good features. There were a few things that suprised me, the phone scratches easily so I buy hard cases for it, usually these last about 9months. They come from ebay, and you have to be careful about dirt and sand getting into the slider mechanism. This is not the phone for the beach. Battery life is adequate but I have taken to carrying chargers with me when away from home. On the plus side I have found all the functions work fine, it's fast and has only crashed twice when viewing video files. The camera is suprising. I have ... Read the complete review

I bought my LG KT520 from the O2 website about a month ago for £39. This was an offer and was originally around £70, which makes sense for it's spec is very good for a £40 phone. I was an O2 customer anyway and they had an offer on where they would give you either a discount on the new phone or free calling credit based on recent top ups if you bought an upgrade. I phoned their helpline to find out more and was told all the phones on the site were in the offer so I bought the phone and when I received it, went about claiming my credit reward. After buying the phone it was taken off their website so when I tried to claim my free credit I was told ... Read the complete review

DNV's summer students present results of work to develop a realistic concept for a year-round Arctic oil spill response system.
The Norwegian students' project included requirements for people, vessels and equipment.
DNV's summer project is an annual programme organised during the summer months for students in their final year of a master's degree programme. This year, ten students with varied cultural and academic backgrounds worked intensely on their project for seven weeks. The focus has been on developing an Arctic oil spill response system.
The cornerstone of the concept is a multifunctional concept vessel – the Boreast – capable of performing oil spill response tasks in the Arctic.
"We presented a realistic, innovative Arctic oil spill response system we have called the AURORA – Arctic United Response Operation and Recovery Agreement – combining new ideas and fresh insight," explains project manager Martin Andestad.
"We know that the world needs more energy. And we know that much of this energy is located in unfriendly and vulnerable areas of the world. Adequate oil spill response systems are therefore of vital importance. These are complex issues that the world's leading scientists, researchers and engineers spend considerable time and resources on. So I am impressed by what these ten students have been able to process and produce during seven short summer weeks," says DNV's CEO Henrik O. Madsen.

Joe Cole still harbours England hopes
Joe Cole has been involved in three World Cups with England and has not given up on making it four in a row.
Cole, 31, made the best possible start to the season by scoring West Ham's 13 minute opening goal against newly-promoted Cardiff and being named man-of-the-match.
Happy to be back where he began his playing career, Cole feels he can still add to his 56 senior caps if he continues to perform well in the Premier League this season.
"Considering the reducing numbers of English players in the Premier League, anyone born in this country will have one eye on breaking into our international squad", he said.
"I've been to three World Cups and I would love to go to another but first and foremost it's a case of playing well here at West Ham.
"The 18 months at Liverpool when I didn't play much was obviously a bad time in my career but when I did play I thought I did OK.
"Then I had a good season in France and even my final season at Chelsea when I was coming back from a big knee injury, I felt I had an effect.
"I'm only 31, I'm fully fit and I think I can still do a job but we'll just see what happens."
Cole, who intends to begin taking his coaching badges, is also passionate about staying in football when he does finally retire.
"I'm passionate about my football and especially youth football in this country", he said.
"I want to play on as long as I can and Ryan Giggs is the benchmark but certainly long-term I would love to get involved in the development of young players".
Competition for wide positions in Sam Allardyce's team has increased following last week's signing of Stewart Downing from Liverpool but Cole believes that is a positive.
"Stewart is a good signing for us", he said. "In world football these days everyone gets rotated in the wide positions apart from probable Cristiano Ronaldo.
"We have four good players in those wide positions now with Matt Jarvis, Stewart and Ricardo Vaz Te as well as myself and we all provide something different."
Captain Kevin Nolan scored West Ham's other goal in the 76 minute and Cole said: "We want to be better than last year in all aspects, the points we get, the position in which we finish and the number of goals we score and concede. W can also have a 'go' at the cups as well.
"The gaffer is doing a great job in the three seasons he's been here. If you look at what he's achieved, whenever he's left a club they've capitulated".

Caribbean nations will come together for the first time to specifically address emergency response protocols for offshore deepwater drilling activities. Open Forum's inaugural conference: 'One Caribbean – One Responseon' will be held September 13, 2012, in Port of Spain, Trinidad. "While the international focus has been largely an effort by the United States to protect its shores, One Caribbean – One Response will give Caribbean nations the opportunity to focus on how they can learn from each other and work together to build deepwater response capabilities." "The Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico are inextricably linked by the continuous flow of ocean currents and eddy streams. A deepwater event in any one of these regions becomes everyone's challenge," said Open Forum founder Lee Hunt, former President of the International Association of Drilling Contractors. "While the international focus has been largely an effort by the United States to protect its shores, One Caribbean – One Response will give Caribbean nations the opportunity to focus on how they can learn from each other and work together to build deepwater response capabilities." The goal of the forum is to improve the integration of emerging deep-water drilling with regional regulatory and industry response capabilities. A planned, coordinated set of procedures and protocols for governments in the Caribbean Sea must mesh with industry standards for safety and pollution prevention, particularly with respect to capping, containing and capturing potential sub-sea, deep-water releases. Panel discussions will include presentations from representatives from Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago, the Bahamas and Cuba. Topics will address: Deepwater Drilling Safety Regulations; International Response Protocol; Issues of Transnational Boundary Pollution; and Liability and Options for Spill Events. Well intervention specialist Helix Energy Solutions Group is the primary sponsor of the event.

Looking for quality kick drum samples.
Homepage › Forums › Creative Corner › Looking for quality kick drum samples.
Tagged: boise, fl, fruity loops, Idaho, kicks, music, producer, production, sounds, studio
Anybody know where I can find some quality kicks for Hip-Hop/EDM?
You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
@hybridext, Why don't you share some of your work instead of talking about degrees? Because you seem desperate for attention like the arrogant musicians that don't know how to promote themselves in a better way, just because they put their ego before their music. My condolences if that's the case.
@manimal, mind-numblingly benign tracks. Wouldn't believe a word of it coming from a man who makes generic crap like you. Cooky cutter bullshit. I don't know what coerced you to attempt making EDM, but stop. You're embarrassing me.
@iPrentice, Tracks checked out, nice tunes. I'll send some feedback in a pm.
@beyond, Well, I was just giving general pointers in the context of the genre range.
Also, subtlety, that's how good sound design and mixing is done.
@manimal, Really like your stuff man! Production is awesome. I've been stuck for a long time on my mixing and mastering skills. I could use a few pointers if you wanna check out some of my tracks. soundcloud.com/michael_prentice
@iPrentice, No problem, I'm glad you like it.
Yeah I'm a musician, I have an unhealthy obsession with music haha. You can check out my mixed EDM project here: https://soundcloud.com/psychophanth/
But the kicks in those tracks aren't sampled, I synthesized them from scratch. Actually, almost everything in those tracks is made from scratch. That's the whole idea of the project, sound design practice.
@manimal, Thanks a ton man. Really appreciate the depth of your answer. You seem to be very knowledgable. I take it you make your own music. Do you have a website where I can check out your stuff?
@iPrentice, Also, if you hear a kick (or other sound) you really like in a track, see if you can sample it. That way, you'll get kicks that sound just the way you want.
A lot of EDM tracks have simple drum tracks at the start and/or end of the song to make DJing easier. That also makes it easy to snag a sample.
Almost all tracks have the kick in mono, so if you get rid of the stereo content (by phase inversion) you can snag some samples that would otherwise be masked by other stuff.
It won't always be clean, but you don't always need clean. Look at all that old sample music (such as The Prodigy,) none of those samples are clean but you don't hear the leak once the sample is in the song.
@iPrentice, Different ones are good for different things. I don't know many good free/cheap ones though, but I know that they do exist. Lots of em.
Depending on the DAW you use, there could already be a great one built into it. Live has a few good ones, and FL has the great FL compressor, Logic has some really good compression.
Personally I like the Waves compressors, especially the SSL, The LinMB and the Vintage compressor. Fabfilter Pro-C is the one I recommend though, because it's extremely versatile and has lots of different settings.
UAD Pultec is another great one.
Then theres TheGlue, which may or may not be free. It's also built into the recent versions of Live.
But the freeware and native ones are good too these days. As long as it does its job.
Learning how to use them can seem tricky at first, but it will become easy pretty soon.
Look, using pre-processed samples is very limiting, and they're often very hard to fit into a mix. Most of the time they aren't very usable, they're just made to sound good on their own so people will want to buy the pack. Those kinds of samples rarely sit good in a mix.
Most producers only use a handful of samples. Basic ones. 808, 909, some lo-fi/break samples, and a few proper acoustic samples. Then they shape and layer them in various ways.
When you're really happy with a kick you use, just bounce it from the track and keep it for later use. Build your own little library of samples that fit perfectly in your own music.
That's how the pros do it.
Glitzy sample packs are just ways to make money. And sadly, people often confuse that kind of stuff for professionalism and start trying to mimic it, so the non-commercial samples sound the same.
@manimal, Thanks for the advice man. Will definitely work on those things. Any compressors you recommend?
Dude the samples out there are all the same. It's all about HOW YOU USE them.
Most of the stuff the pros use in both those genres are 808s, 909s and old break samples, adapted to each track.
How to kick:
First of all, tune it and make it MONO.
Second, colour it if it needs it (saturation and/or similar)
Third, dynamics control (compressor, envelope designer, whatever it needs)
Last, EQ. Cut out the junk, and give the dominant frequencies a little boost.
Make sure the kick has its place in the mix. You can high-pass everything but the kick and the bass around 100hz, and you should make a notch in the bass for the kick's main body. Cut out unnecessary sub frequencies.
Make sure the kick cuts through the mix.
For classic hip hop kicks, just make it muffled. Use a bit of dusty distortion and a low-cut filter, and cut the subs out.
For crunk/trap kicks, boost the subs and raise the low-pass a bit.
For House, Trance, and general EDM you'll want the full spectrum of kick. Boost the click around 1kkz and 5khz, low-pass around 16hz.
Kicks are ridiculously easy.
There is no magic setting which works for every track, it's ALL ABOUT SHAPING THE SOUND.
@stevenv Sweet man! Much appreciated. Thank you!

"We have researched as much as we can nine cases out of the 45 that we identified between January 2012 and August 2013," said Mustafa Qadri of Amnesty International. "The most challenging situation we had to face was the complete and utter secrecy of the U.S. authorities."
Amnesty International says the Pakistani government and nongovernmental organizations on the ground estimate there have been nearly 350 drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004. Critics argue President Barack Obama has failed to make good on his promise to limit strikes that result in unintentional casualties.
In one case, Amnesty International says 68-year-old Mamana Bibi was killed by two Hellfire missiles fired by an invisible drone while harvesting vegetables in the small village of Ghundi Kala in Northwest Pakistan.
"In the villages where people are hit, every man, woman and child has seen images of charred bodies, of body parts, of vehicles that are turned into twisted masses," said Letta Tayler of Human Rights Watch.
The administration disagrees with these assessments, saying that the data does not take into account the actions of terrorists who use civilians as human shields and that the drone attacks are necessary to prevent greater losses of life.
"To the extent these reports claim the U.S. has acted contrary to international law, we would strongly disagree," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. "The administration has repeatedly emphasized the extraordinary care that we take to make sure counterterrorism actions are in accordance with all applicable law."
Warm up questions
- What do you know about the U.S. drone program?
- Who is the main target of its strikes?
- What parts of the world have the drone strikes take place?
- How does the drone plane work? Who controls it?
- Is it ethical to kill civilians during wartime or is it inevitable cost of war?
- If drone planes are not to be used, how else might the U.S. achieve the same results?
Discussion questions
- Is it morally just to use unmanned planes to attack and kill terrorists?
- What are the risks and benefits of using unmanned drones to engage in military attacks?
- Is it ever moral to kill civilians during war? Does it happen anyways? The international community acknowledges that civilians may be killed during wars, but Amnesty International has suggested that the U.S. has gone too far. Do you think that the U.S. has gone too far? Defend your answer.
- Although the report condemns the U.S. for their current use of drones they have not condemned the program and have suggested that it continue but that more stringent criteria for the use of drones should be implemented. Do you agree or disagree and why?
