    No, LIE is included in DS 4+ Pro.

    Ah, so Daz Studio Standard does not include LIE. I understand. I forgot that two versions of Daz Studio exist.

    I didn't think they still made the Standard version anymore, since the Pro version is free...who would opt for less?

    ...that is my thought too. Already have Girl6, Dolly Kimberly and Nata who are all really cute toon pinup types.

    (of course I said that about the Teen6 figures when they came out and now have both Josie and Belle).

    ...well our little preview of Summer is over. Hit 81° "officially" (airport) yesterday, 84° in my hood. Back to 50s and rain for the next several days. Nice while it lasted.

    Feeling much better though than a few days ago. My usual medicine and the long hours of sleep helped a lot.

    Now only if I could hit he Megabucks Lotto everything would be right. Even a 4 out of 6 match nets a couple hundred.

    Wow, 67 F here right now. That, too, is on the other side of the city at the industrial park. There's a Weather Bureau station right there, and the doppler radar. But I think it's usually a little bit different in my neighborhood. Don't know if it's warmer or cooler, though. So I'll go with 67 F. But the rest of the week it's supposed to go back down into the mid-50s.

    Stuck at home today with "digestive distress" so I decided to make good use of my trapped-at-home time. I fired up Tracktion, loaded my mastering project, and went to it with a will!

    Pass 1: adjusting song start/end times so that each track moved neatly into the next, almost as if one long composition with different sections. This took about an hour because I had to go back and check every track for time position and make sure the flow was smooth and even.

    Pass 2: EQ. Now THIS one was a pain, but thanks to having each tune on its own track I could easily adjust a songs spectrum in isolation AND in the final output. This took about 45 minutes.

    Pass 3: Volume Leveling. OMG, two hours of listening over and over and using Voxengo SPAN to make sure nothing peaked too high and having to add volume curves here and there and listening over and over after adjustments and then listening to the entire freaking album FROM THE START to make sure everything was as close to perfect as I could get it. Brain.. hurts..

    Pass 4: Export the entire album as 24-bit/96KHz WAV file. 15 minutes. Just. To. Render. It. lots of coffee died for the cause here.

    FINAL PASS: In to Sound Forge, normalized to -1.20 Db, then a last tweak with HarmoniEQ (Voxengo again) to give it a touch more bass drone, then.. listen.. all.. over.. again.

    So, half way through the last listen for today, and I can say that this is as good as it gets until I rest my ears. "Ear Fatigue" is a real thing, apparently. The one good thing is that, even after listening to my tracks over and over and OVER AND OVER, I still like each of them! Either I did a good job or I'm seriously delusional...

    I'll do liner notes tomorrow night. I want to make sure the Dedication and Thanks To get in there, and a gear list for gear porn fanatics (heh). Guess I need a bio, and some words about how this album came about. Will render out a PDF!

    Yep, while this wasn't as easy or enjoyable as I dreamed, like having a kid, it was more labor than I wanted but I like the final result!

    Now to find some trusted folks to test-listen. It's 100% me at this point and I really, REALLY need some outside critiquing...

    Well, yes and no. There's a bit of Little Annie Fanny and Tinkerbell mixed in there. :)

    OMG! Stranger than fiction.

    Remember a few days ago I flippantly proposed the plot line of the "Bones" TV show finding a body in manure? Well, this is the news of the day near Buffalo.
    http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/wyoming-county/attica-farmer-killed-when-fight-got-out-of-hand-20150421

    Not exactly the same situation I had outlined, but I guess the wife just had enough of his shit and put him in it!

    And the irony of the family name being "Mess" is not lost.

    Consider the difficulties in rendering a 3D scene like that properly! :ohh:

    ...so that's what happened to Santa Duck.

    No wonder he didn't show up last Yule with the 512 GB, dual 16 core 2,8 GHz Xeon, Quadro K6000 powered workstation with dual 30" displays I asked for.

    Since he was sticking his head out of the chimney, they could have built a fire in the fireplace and had roast peeking duck. (anticipates groan)

    (* groan *)

    But the bigger question is why was he in the chimney in the first place? My theory is that he and his buddies were trying to out macho each other and were trying to see who could put out the fire down in the hole at the bottom of the chimney by urinating on it. But our unfortunate quacker was the winner and bragged too much about his excretory prowess and one of his buddies shoved him out of frustration and knocked him accidentally down the hole where he ended up as described at the beginning of the story. Thus, this is the full tale of the roast pee king duck. 8-/

    But my theory is all wet because by time he fell down the hole the fire was already out. Oh well, it was fun trying. :zip:
