![]() Last month, my pair of etos finally arrived and I was immediately keen to repeat my original experiment and test the effectiveness of the production-line eto. By October 2017, the challenges were clearly going to delay manufacturing – but to the inventors' credit, they were brutally honest throughout, and were clearly committed to producing a finished product that delivered on the quality promised. The original estimated delivery date was February 2018, but the production process soon encountered problems. Together, the eto raised £1,170,290 in crowdfunded capital, which presumably makes up for the capital that has been omitted from the product’s name. The campaign was fully funded in 32 hours, and a subsequent Indiegogo campaign was hugely successful. I immediately purchased two etos through their Kickstarter campaign, at an earlybird price of £109 for two, plus £5 delivery. I tested a prototype in June 2017 and was totally convinced by the results: through smart design involving a plunger pushed down onto the surface of the wine (a bit like a cafetière), this device was able to keep an opened bottle of wine fresh for seven days, so that I was unable to tell the difference between the eto sample and a freshly opened bottle. However, it can be an expensive device to run, requiring a ready supply of gas-cartridge refills.Īn apparent solution to the problem emerged in 2017, after five years of development: the eto was a decanter and preserver, promising to protect wine from oxygen without the need for gas. The big game-changer of recent years was the Coravin, an innovative gadget that has been widely adopted by wine professionals and consumers alike as the most effective way of preserving and pouring wine from a sealed bottle. There are dozens of wine-preservation gadgets on the market, most of which don’t work especially well. I would like to know, if I set the velocity on the cymbals at the highest (“fff”), is that unnaturally loud, as though the drummer is hammering every cymbal as hard as physically possible? Or is that a reasonable velocity for a cymbal hit in a standard verse/chorus drum track? I know that I can alter the velocity after the fact in the piano-roll but would prefer to write them as-close-to-finished as possible, and then tweak them later.Richard tests a long-awaited, crowdfunded, new bit of wine kit. I’m wondering about the cymbals though I’ve been setting them lower (“ff”) but only recently have I been thinking that that makes the velocity sound unnaturally low. For basic verse stuff, where it’s supposed to be pretty straight-forward, I’ve been setting the fortissimo to max (‘fff’) on the snare and bass drums, which seems to work best in the mix. I am unsure about exactly how to produce the most natural sound. ![]() With each drum hit you need to set the velocity by selecting each note’s piano/fortissimo (ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, fff). I’ve been composing the drums in TuxGuitar (as opposed to guitarpro 6) and then exporting the midi to be triggered through the plug-in, then recording live guitar over it. I write metal/hardcore music, and I’ve been using EzDrummer Metal Machine for my drum tracks.
