![]() The lavender and woodiness is something that’s been done a million times before. The tropical aspect is quite appealing, better than that strawberry lemon candy of the original. I do really like how the patchouli was toned down and the praline seems to be gone, that’s a huge plus. Even though, I’m digging this more than the original, it’s not something I’d want to wear all the time or even often. Overall, do I like Black XS L’Exces? It’s nice. Just as one to wear around, this can venture into a variety of scenarios and can be used pretty much as a daily wear. The original was definitely more youthful. Not super serious nor is it a teenager’s cologne. Leans more for someone in their twenties to early 30s. I’d lean towards spring and summer nights, either case would be fine. I would say it is more of a casual or club kind of fragrance rather than something to wear to work or other formal settings.Īt a daytime part in the summer, it actually would work pretty well. ![]() It’s got a good profile for the summer months. This cologne, however, could fit in year round and not be a mess. The original felt like a strictly winter scent to me. Not that it really needs to, but it isn’t an insane performer. Testing it out a few times, it doesn’t seem to go beyond that on my skin. The longevity is also good, I get right around 8 hours of wear from this juice. However, it calms down significantly, and I feel that it is ultimately a moderate. Again, not as sharp as the original Black XS that Paco Rabanne released, but it can be loud from the jump. Projection wise, it does start out strong. Mainly, the more outdoorsy or woody notes. It’s pretty linear, but as it dries down, it gets less citric and the other notes take a bigger stage. It is bright, fruity sweet, and with an outdoorsy heart lurking in the background. What you get is the citrus/pineapple aroma, sitting on top of a woody/lavender base that is soaked in amber. ![]() So, in a real sense, L’Exces isn’t intense or excessive. This is great! The note is still present, it is just that it has been subdued and doesn’t have a praline sweetness to blend with anymore. What I noticed most, is that it doesn’t have the same sharpness or overwhelming patchouli note that original has. ![]() Yes, the ingredient is lemon, but how it blends with the other notes produces a different aroma. It has the familiar lemon note, but in the original it smells like strawberry candy, and L’Exces smells more like pineapple. The opening of Black Xs L’Exces is actually quite similar to the original. So, when getting a hold of a sample vial of L’Exces, I was worried that it would be more of the same…just intense. Namely, the heavier patchouli note, and how it blends with the praline. Update: Got rid of it, never having used it again. It was a blind buy and while I do kind of enjoy how it smells, there are issues which always bugged me, however. I think it’s been on my shelf for the past two years, with nary a wear on my part. I own a full bottle of the original Black Xs and hardly ever wear it. Notes include: lemon, patchouli, lavender, amber, cypriol oilĬlick here to try: Paco Rabanne Black Xs L’exces Eau de Toilette Intense Spray for Men, 3.4 Ounce ![]() ![]() ![]() How could i apply a fix permanently in bios that will run stable? I dont want the cpu to get 1,4 v constantly and not run on max frequency either (4,700) as it gets hot and unnecessary. I am not sure how to set it up but as mentioned, I believe its to do with that. I have no experience playing around with voltages and max frequencies. Now I havent really done anything in my bios, although on feedback from people i tried disabling pbo, cpb which also didnt work. However ryzen master doesnt safe the result and i have reset bios by removing the battery and all and it still doesnt work (after rebooting, ryzen masters settings are gone again), which leads me to believe the bios are set up wrong Eventually i downloaded ryzen master and set the profile to manual, and it was a frequency of 3500 and voltage of 1.4 and voila, the power test works! The pc doesnt reboot! Then i tested with a frequency of 4000 and Voltage of 1,35 and it also was stable enough to run the tests. HOWEVER, when i test the power the PC would reboot within a minute. I stress tested the cpu and gpu and the tests worked fine. Then I downloaded a software called OCCT. ![]() I updated bios, installed newest chipset but it didnt work. I replaced my psu, as people suggested it may have been a power error. So i ignored it as it wasn’t frequent until it started to happen once per session, (sometimes even after a day or so). I could be playing games on ultra, render scenes but sometimes it would reboot (no BSOD) while doing something mundane as watching Youtube. Anyway, after using it for month with no issues sometimes the PC would randomly reboot. I didn’t intentionally oc nor do i think anythin was tampered with. I bought alot components second hand but they worked with no problems for month. Gigabyte Auros X570 PRO rev 1.0 (f33 bios ver) ![]() ![]() ![]() Plus, there’s eight instances of 2-Port X on MTPAV (your 2nd MOTU interface), and eight instances of 3-Port X on MTPAV (your 3rd MOTU interface). For example, after a clean installation of OS, interfaces, software, etc., you probably see eight instances of Port X on MTPAV in Cubase’s Device Setup > MIDI Port Setup. I have three MOTU midi timepieces AV USB too…īTW, do you have trouble with Windows remapping your MOTU interfaces? I think Windows has trouble telling identical interfaces apart, gets confused, and reassigns them as ‘new’ devices. I’m encouraged to keep trying, at least, a little longer. It’s just another random ghost in the Cubase machine, yelling at me, “go back to Sonar!”īut thank you for verifying your MIDI interfaces are working. I’ll think about trashing my preferences but honestly don’t expect any change. It’s pretty much a clean install of Cubase 9 on Windows 10. So, the short answer is this: I just rebuilt all of my preferences. I can’t seem to go a day in the studio without finding another one. It’s just one more well-documented, years-old bug that remains unfixed. Then, I upgrade to Cubase 9 and all of my preferences disappear - had to rebuild everything from scratch. First, I spend six months learning Cubase 8.5’s eccentricities and workarounds. ![]() I’m beginning to think Cubase and I are not meant to be (and that Cubase is one of the buggiest pieces of software I’ve ever used - and this comes from an IT professional of 30 years). I have three MOTU midi timepieces AV USB too and two 4x4 midisport plus an 8x8 and all seems to work as it should. Likewise, which interfaces are affected to begin with is also random. The issue is isolated to each interface so that, for example, if I get it fixed on Interface #1, the other two will continue to exhibit the problem until I get those fixed as well. When restarting Cubase and repeating the exact same steps, sometimes the problem will crop up on a MIDI Track. I can click through a dozen MIDI Devices and MIDI Ports with no effect, but then, suddenly, it’ll work and the problem will go away. Then, I can go back to the original destination MIDI Device and everything’s fine - at least, for a while. Why is this happening?Ĭhoosing another destination for the MIDI Track sometimes makes the problem go away. Sometimes, I’ll see activity only on Interface #1, Port #1, as would normally be expected. So, for example, if I’m routing a MIDI Track to a MIDI Device assigned to Interface #1, Port #1, I might see activity on all ports (1-8) of Interface #1. This is indicated by the MIDI activity LEDs on the interface’s front panel. Sometimes, when Cubase sends MIDI data to a MIDI port on an interface, it replicates the stream to every MIDI output port of the interface. I’ve got three identical 8-port MIDI interfaces (MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV USB). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Get a Sample Copy of the Pocket Measuring Tape Market Report 2023 The report will provide data on revenues, sales volume, and average price for the overall market and the sub-segments across the various segments, by company, by type, by application, and by regions, to assist Pocket Measuring Tape manufacturers, new entrants, and industry chain related companies in this market.

If you want your car’s interior to look brand new for years to come, then you’ll need to take steps to protect it. But the interior of your vehicle is also subjected the sun’s harsh UV rays that can lead to fading over time. Often, when trying to protect a car from the sun, most people forget about the interior. It’s important not to dry the car after it has rained without washing it first, as this can often lead to scratches and swirl marks in the paintwork. ![]() Take a look at this article I’ve written on how to dry a car properly to learn more about the most effective and fastest ways to do this. And after it’s rained, you should try and wash and dry the car as soon as you can to avoid water spotting from occuring. In Summer, it’s important to make sure you dry the car as soon as possible after it has been washed to avoid these water spots from evolving. So, to protect your car, you need to avoid having water on your vehicle and keep it as dry as possible. Water spots are a big problem when the sun is out, because water dries much faster leading to acceleration of the etching process. If you have water spots on your car, then check out this article I’ve written on 6 ways to tackle water spots. These water spots can be difficult to remove if left to sit on the surface, and can often require abrasion to be removed effectively. But if the choice is between parking under trees, or in direct sunlight, then just park in the sun.Īs long as you have a good layer of paint protection on the car, and follow the rest of the steps in this article, then your paintwork will be fine. So, you should always aim to park your car in the shade, by parking it near buildings if possible. This means that you need to use a specific tree-sap remover spray to get rid of it, because scrubbing at the paintwork will likely cause more harm than good by just scratching up the clear coat. Tree sap is also a paint because it dries on the paint very quickly and bonds very strongly. Bird poo in particular is hard to remove safely without scratching the paintwork because it’s actually quite abrassive.Ĭare needs to be taken when removing bird mess by soaking it and trying to remove it using rather rather than any pressure during a contact wash with a mitt. Plus, they are also quite difficult to remove safely. When either of these two contaminants get on the paintwork, they can cause real issues and permanently damage the clear coat if they’re left on for too long. One thing much worse than parking your car in the sun, is parking it under trees to try and get it under the shade. The car can’t get exposed to as much UV if it’s not in direct sunlight. So I know that one of the biggest pieces of advice that most people give when trying to protect a car from the sun’s UV rays is to park it in the shade. If you’re interested in the paint protection products I use, then check out my recommended products page for some more information. Personally, I prefer to use waxes and sealants because they are much easier to apply and still offer a good level of protection. Here’s a quick table to summarise the differences. ![]() So which type of paint protection should you go for? The three most popular options are waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings, and they all have different advantages and disadvantages. ![]() More on these in the later sections of these articles. Waxes, sealants and coatings also help prevent water spots and keep the car clean, which is super important in summer to prevent further damage from the sun. This works two-fold because, the wax/ sealant/ coating provides UV protection itself, to stop the base coat from fading, AND it helps to preserve the clear coat, indirectly protecting the base coat underneath. However, the life of the clear coat can be extended by applying a layer of protection. Over time, the clear coat wears away to a certain extent. Paint protection is designed to preserve the clear coat. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reppen started out her career at Viacom in MTV Networks Law and Business Affairs and worked as a corporate associate in several law firms beforehand.

The more outrageous your boast, the more money you stand to win. You can prove how confident you are by betting on your shot before you play it. There are 16 licensed PGA tour golfers to battle against across 15 real-life PGA golf courses including Pebble Beach Golf Links, St Andrews, Reflection Bay and Doral Golf Resort. Of course, this game is called PGA Tour, so you get to do plenty of PGA touring as well. Tiger 06 finds an excellent blend between compelling gameplay, consistent challenge, and enough reward to always keep you engaged. There are five periods in which to prove you are the best player of the age. Tiger Woods 06 pits you against Tiger Woods in a battle to be the best golfer of all time. So obviously you'll be able to go a few rounds with Tiger using the same state of the art clubs as he uses today, or you can go back in time and play Jack Nicklaus at his very best, using an old-fashioned bag of wooden clubs. control and a gamebreaker meter that models the momentum of professional golf competition. The idea here is to pitch yourself against the greatest players of all time in the very prime of their careers. Another theme this year is the all-new Rival Mode. As before, the left analogue stick controls your swing, but now you can use the right stick to alter your trajectory, or, if you are on the green, adjust the strength of your putt. They've improved on this again this year, and the subtlety of the swing goes to a new level as you are required to use both analogue sticks to hit the ball. It's a refreshing change from the 'tap-wait-tap-wait-tap' button method that has been the staple of the golfing game for around two decades. What's made Tiger Woods such a successful title in the home gaming arena is the swing mechanic, with EA's rather inspired choice to adapt the roller ball style swing technique of arcade games like Golden Tee to the analogue sticks of home consoles. ![]() Yes, Tiger is back for another round in his very own Tiger Woods PGA Tour. ![]() As the EA machine rolls out another year's worth of licensed-up sports titles, it's great to see a name which has caused quite a stir in recent years. ![]() ![]() With her re-introduction to the series, Jack-O was also re-introduced to fans and introduced to a lot of newer fans of the game, creating a reignition of her previous meme.
