Alright, basically, the imaginative file is within sync, the converted file when played on a computer is contained by sync, but played on an iPod it falls far out of sync – sometimes by over a minute. The only time I’ve seem to not have an issue beside a video falling out of sync is if it’s something like an 11 minute Spongebob episode. But if it’s anything similar to a movie, even if the MP4 file is solitary 420MB, it’s always far out of sync. And yes, I enjoy tried chrarging, I have over 10 gigs of free space out of 30, I hold tried different files, and seeing that it plays right on the computer, it’s not the program. And I have used three different programs so it isn’t the program any. So with adjectives that said, help? Please?

Rats! Ok so here’s the deal: It wasn’t even surrounded by the water for more than a second. I took it out IMMEDIATELY and held it up so that the telephone were facing the floor… I kept it similar to that and dried it up. I dropped it in the sink while it be on, (lol) It was working immaculately. But… I was still startled. I went on the internet to see if the iPod be waterproof. But past that I turned my iPod off.

Any advice? How to seize the water out? Anyone who be in indistinguishable situation to make me at smallest feel better? Cos im reallly startled, my parents would FREAK if they found out..  Read more...

While doing my graduate studies, I took up courses in Logic & Philosophy, Statistics & Research I & II, and Psychological Test & Measurements besides other subjects related Psychology and Counselling Psychology. Having had exposures in Psychological, Logical and Philosophical methodologies of researching, compiling, analyzing and interpreting data, I can reasonably comment on this current topic: Psychological Test Instruments: Questions On The Use Of Samples Of Behaviour.

Psychological test instruments are psychological tools that are employed in Psychometrics (science of Psychological testing) for measuring behavioural samples which are compiled for statistical analyses and interpretations based on foregoing comprehensive literature reviews of the subjects/topics/items being researched. It must be noted that this form of research is mainly related to quantitative studies. It is a pity that qualitative research methods are still in its infancy.

In our current profit-minded society, a great deal of hype is being place on the wondrous Psychological test instruments that can measure anything related to human behaviour. When I say anything, I mean it literally. For your information, there are Psychological tests even for “farting.” If you don’t believe, just goggle it. Emphasis is placed on instruments created by Western (Caucasian) individuals, groups or institutions with Psychological celebrity status as being the most reliable. Here is an infusion of Colonial mentality. Others try to impress with the number of PhD(s) behind the creation of their instruments. Even in Psychology, colonial mentality, nationality biasness, marketing, status consciousness and egos do make an impact on lay persons in the choice of Psychological test Instruments. But are all these hypes and claims true? How reliable are these Psychological test instruments?  Read more...

Music mastering is an essential part of every hit record. Yet, few new (and even some “established”) musicians have a good understanding of what mastering is and why they need it.

This often leads to many selecting the wrong mastering studio… and making many unnecessary mistakes in the recording and music mixing phases (which affects the mastering later on).

This is why below are the 5 most frequently asked questions about music mastering:

What exactly is music mastering?

Mastering is the final phase before your CDs, Vinyls, DVDs or MP3 files are produced. It’s the last chance to get the sound right… and for errors to be fixed.

Mastering transforms your music from a “raw” sound into a professional, “radio-ready” sound. It gives your tracks punch, loudness, clarity, and completes your final vision.

Why is it so important and do I really need it?

All major labels have their artists’ records mastered before they’re released. But, often many independent artists/labels wonder if they should go-ahead and get it done.

The answer is a big YES! If you want to make the right impression, then at a minimum you need to get your demo professionally mastered.

Because just think about when your demo hits the A & R managers’ desk, what’s going to stand-out… the professionally mastered demos (yours) or the poor quality ones?  Read more...

It used to be that if you wanted to buy a musical instrument, you had to find a nearby music store and find time to get there. This traditional method can be inconvenient and sometimes even impossible with busy schedules and limited local options. The music store may not have your preferred instrument in stock, it may be too far away or you simply may not have the time to get there.

Fortunately, the Internet makes it very simple to purchase musical instruments online. However, it may feel like you are taking a leap of faith by purchasing such a costly item without first playing the instrument, listening to it or even holding it in your hands.

Other issues can arise once you make the step to purchase — the instrument could arrive at your door damaged, the music store might charge you the wrong amount or send you the wrong item. It is imperative to be able to trust the source that you are buying from before you make the purchase, so that if a problem does arise, you can be assured that it will be resolved.

Here are 10 questions you should ask in order to ensure satisfaction with your online musical instrument purchase:  Read more...
