![]() ![]() Traditionally, recordings have been made using two methods: mono and stereo. ![]() The brain scrutinizes these miniscule interaural differences of time and strength in order to localize sound with immaculate precision. In addition, sound waves interact with the physical constitution of the listener - the pinna (or outer ear), the head, and the torso - and the surrounding space, creating listener-specific variations otherwise known as head-related transfer function. If a dog barks by our left ear, it takes a few extra microseconds for the bark to reach the right ear the sound will also be louder in one ear than the other. The architecture of our anatomy dictates how we understand the sounds we hear: with an ear on either side of a thick skull and spongy brain, we hear sounds enter our left and right ears at different times. But with the rise of virtual reality hardware like the Oculus Rift, Sony’s Morpheus, and Samsung’s Gear - systems dependent on realistic 3D audio to fully immerse their users - binaural audio is on the cusp of a renaissance.īinaural recording systems are unique because they emulate the workings of the human head. And if you record a band, you’ll hear it exactly as the band was positioned when playing."įor decades, binaural recording was a novelty, and overlooked for less technically demanding methods. "You can hear a bird flying over your head. "It puts you in the exact sound field as originally intended," says Choueiri of binaural recordings. If only for a few split seconds, my brain was tricked into believing the performance was actually live, and not recorded. I instinctively turned to look in that direction. A couple of soulful verses later, a violinist on the left grabbed my attention. A cellist on the right plucked on the strings of the instrument. Moments later, Amber Rubarth’s folksy voice filled the room as she sang an acoustic rendition of Louis Armstrong’s "A Kiss to Build a Dream On." The room transformed into an intimate live music venue and the soundscape was vivid: Rubarth was positioned right in front of me, with her band members on either side. Sitting in an adjacent chair, Choueiri swiped through his iPad to set up a binaural audio demonstration. In his warmly lit apartment, a pair of speakers loomed over me as I sank into a leather couch in the living room. ![]()

This can be partially explained by a rise in metabolism, but may also be due to the effect water has on your appetite. One study found that overweight adults who drank 17 ounces (half a liter) of water before their meals lost 40% more weight than those who didn’t ( 7). In fact, people who drink the recommended amount of water as part of a weight loss program tend to lose more weight than those who don’t ( 3, 4, 5, 6). Studies have shown that drinking 17 ounces (half a liter) of water can increase your metabolic rate by up to 30% for about an hour ( 1, 2). Water has been shown to temporarily raise your metabolic rate, so you burn more calories. Helps with weight lossĭrinking water may help you lose weight, and this applies to detox water too. A few are valid, though exaggerated in some instances. Crushing or bruising fruits and herbs can help release more of their flavors.īelow is a detailed look at the science behind detox water’s health claims. To make detox water, add fruits, vegetables, and herbs to water and then let it stand. Here are some popular detox water recipe combinations: If you’re in a hurry, crushing or bruising your fruit and herbs before using them can help release the flavors more quickly. Be sure to remove the ingredients after this time, though, so they don’t begin to decompose. If you’re making a cold drink, you can leave the detox water in the fridge for 1–12 hours to allow the flavors to infuse more deeply. The more of an ingredient you use, the stronger the flavor will become. Simply chop your ingredients and add them to hot or cold water, depending on your preference. All you need is water and a selection of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Making detox water at home is very simple. ![]() ![]() If you are using an old Mac running an OS older than Lion, then there will be no Recovery HD option. What to do if there is no Recovery mode on the Mac Unfortunatly, the way SSDs work is very different from HDDs that most traditional tools struggle to help at all. However, if you attempt to use these tools on an SSD, you’ll most likely find they aren’t quite so helpful. They all claim to be more effective than Disk Utility, but how well they do is very dependent on whatever is at the root of the problem. If you have any disk management tools, like TechTool Pro, Disk Warrior or Drive Genius, you may able to try them out. Once you have an external drive, you can then use that as your boot drive, and recover any lost files to there. So if you manage to resurrect your sickly drive, quit all your software, including email, to avoid overwriting any list files. If you have lost any data, it is very important to avoid using the drive, as anything that writes files to the drive, may be writing over your lost files. You should plan to get an external drive plugged in as soon as you can, so that you can secure your data there. If Disk Utility manages to fix your drive enough to let you boot from it again, be very careful how you use it. One thing to bear in mind is that if you do manage to boot from Recovery, you’ll need another drive to recover files to. If you manage to get in to Recovery mode, you should be able to run Disk Utility as described above, and potentially fix your disk so you can recover the data. Keep holding those keys until you see either an Apple logo or a spinning globe. In short, to enter Recovery you need to hold down Command+R while your Mac starts up. Booting from this partition doesn’t do anything to the main drive, so there’s no need to worry about overwriting documents. This is actually a partition on the drive that contains a version of the macOS that you can boot from. However, as long as the drive failure isn’t too terminal, a restart in Recovery HD should be possible. How to make a bootable OS X Yosemite install drive Now that modern Macs no longer ship with optical disk drives, you may not have an easy option to boot from another disk. If you tried to restart and the drive didn’t survive the experience, you may find yourself in an even stickier situation. However when dealing with dying disks, they may not survive the experience. So it’s often the first bit of advice you’ll hear. It’s become something of a cliché, but turning it off and on again, is often a good way to reset any gremlins in your system. Here’s what to do if your Mac won’t switch on again. We suggest you back up your Mac at this point before running the risk of the disk failing again. If you are able to fix the hard drive or SSD in your Mac (or a external drive) using Disk Utility you will hopefully be able to recover your files. If you are using Yosemite or an even older version of Mac OS X, then you will see different options here, such as Repair Disk and the option to Repair Permissions…īack in the day it would have also been advised that you shouldįix Disk Permissions, but Apple removed the ability to repair permissions in Sierra, probably because meddling with permissions can cause all sorts of issues. Note that Apple updated Disk Utility in El Capitan and the options and capabilities have changed quite a bit since then. If during the process Disk Utility detects any issues and it’s easily fixed, then it should be resolved quickly.Ĭomplete guide to using Disk Utility here.This means that while First Aid is running apps won’t be responsive. You will see a warning that First Aid needs to temporatily lock the boot volume.It will then repair the volume if necessary. You will see a message indicating that First Aid will check the volume for errors.Click on the disk you are concerned about from the list on the left, and then click First Aid.Open Disk Utility – You’ll find this in the Utilities folder, inside your Apps folder or by searching for it using Spotlight Search.If your drive is having problems and you become aware of this before the machine crashes, or if you manage to get it up and running again (or in the case of an external drive your Mac is able to detect it), the first thing to do is launch Disk Utility. If you are very lucky your hard drive (or SSD) isn’t beyond repair and you will be able to fix the problem yourself and therefore get access to your files. This is part of a series of articles about backing up your Mac, read more here: SSDs are fundamentally different from HDDs, and although they seem to act the same, fixing them is a whole different matter, and the chances of recovery are far worse, however, we will examin your options below.

In addition to her successful writing career, Alvarez is the current writer-in-residence at Middlebury College.
