alright welcome back let's proceed we were talking about how to exercise our spiritual authority and we looked at a few terms that can be applied and now we look at other ways one is to issue commands with all these words like destroy remove bind lose so we are releasing our authority by these words now other things prayer prayer and intercession so that's what I shared even in the context of corporate you know spiritual warfare prayer and intercession is so very helpful so we need to engage in that and we can see results when there is a prayerful first of all prayer and prayerful atmosphere I don't know if any of you has experiences but I have sometimes when you go to let's say you know visit a church community or something you feel God's presence in that area but if you go to other parts of the city it's very different and then like you can almost tell the difference because this community is a praying community so not that demons won't be active demons are there everywhere but you can also understand that God's presence is also established in a powerful way so that is the the power of prayer and intercession where we have praying communities we can experience the victory of God even in that atmosphere sometimes we can tell and which is why even when it comes to our homes so if we can have prayer in our homes family prayer time together worship whenever every family has its time but these things are so powerful that God's presence can be established right so that is one thing now prayer and intercession in our struggle against the enemy so when we pray when we intercede God's power works you remember the example of Daniel okay when demonic spirits were interfering with the answer that God was sending to Daniel what happened Daniel was praying Daniel was fasting sometimes we are fasting and praying how does it help then God sent his angel the angel went and fought with the principality and then the answer actually came through so there is a role that prayer plays in spiritual warfare so we need to pray so to overcome demons we must pray as we pray as we intercede we will exercise our authority and scriptures tell us pray for all the saints right all kinds of prayers in Ephesians chapter 6 what do we read about in Ephesians chapter 6 we went through the last few classes anyone yeah spiritual armor spiritual armor so parts of the armor we have you know helmet of salvation breastplate shield belt shoes all these are parts of the spiritual armor but in verse 18 it also says pray for all the saints so in a way think about this Paul is talking to the Ephesian church about how to overcome the devil and he says to overcome you should have armor but in the same continuation he says pray for everybody which also means that prayer is also part of the weaponry against the devil so if you want to overcome Satan prayer intercession will overcome the evil one so we need that as a part of our warfare weapon even in the case of Peter Jesus told Peter I know Satan is planning something against you but I have prayed for you that you should not fall that you know your faith should be preserved so how did Jesus protect his disciple from Satan's attack what did you do prayer right so true prayer we can even speak protection or we can ensure protection for our lives and our loved ones for our family for our you know church or someone in church maybe we are ministering to that person pray for them so when we pray for them they will be able to overcome Satan will be able to overcome the enemy so prayer is so very useful prayer and intercession and yeah we can overcome Satan through this yes next is righteous actions righteous actions we talked about the breastplate of righteousness so the breastplate of righteousness what does it mean it means two things one is I must believe that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus what does Satan want us to believe about ourselves sinners correct that we are sinners that we are condemned we are guilty he wants us to keep believing that because when we believe that our identity becomes faulty that's not our identity now I'm washed by the blood of Jesus I am a child of God I am sanctified I'm made righteous so that is my identity so we have been made righteous through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross second thing about righteousness is we have to walk in righteousness so I am righteousness but what if I engage in sin is it helpful against the enemy no because I myself am what we say opening doors for the devil to work in my life so it has to be both identity has to be correct my understanding secondly walk in righteousness don't walk in evil ways then also we can overcome Satan we can overcome demonic powers so keep doing what is right and Satan will get very irritated and for example let's imagine you know an office situation where there are people who try to make you angry they want you to get angry they want you to you know shout and sort of be enraged they are expecting that kind of a reaction from you but what if you don't what if you know you're cool as a cucumber as they say right so you're very composed because you're trusting in the Lord even though you're irritated you're still not you know losing your calm and then you do that what is happening you're walking in God's righteousness isn't it so when you're working in God's righteousness there is somebody engaging in righteous actions that is also like overcoming the devil it's irritating that to the enemy because he wants you to lose your calm but here you are you're working in trusting trust in the Lord and forgiveness and patience and all the good virtues the fruit of the spirit that in itself is warfare you know it's like Joseph in Egypt who did the right thing that is spiritual warfare righteous person having the righteous person is spiritual warfare in itself or Daniel even in the lion's den no problem there's nothing that can actually harm him because God is on his side so living if you're a righteous individual when we're walking in righteousness it's automatic warfare against the devil but in some situations we have to intentionally involve in righteous actions as a warfare against the devil I'll explain myself let's say in in a community okay there is a lot of financial like you know misdeed people are doing the wrong thing financially now as believers if we are going to be wise with our money if we are going to be generous with our money if we are going to put our money into godly things then that becomes spiritual warfare where everyone else is is maybe hoarding money they're all keeping money and they're all you know doing it the wrong way as believers we decide no we will not engage in anything that is corruption we will be true and righteous we will be generous that is warfare against the devil in that community because what is happening all the believers now are doing the right thing as far as money is concerned so in some places when we see you know a particular evil we may have to decide that we will do the opposite that becomes spiritual warfare okay maybe there is injustice in some places so we've seen this in history how people are ill treated you know on the basis of their ethnicity so many things have happened in history but let's say we are observing things like that but we do what is right we don't go by you know which ethnicity a person belongs to or what is their origin people are people all people are made in the image of God so we choose to treat everybody correct not like how others are doing it that becomes spiritual warfare so depending on the evil in that community as believers when we decide okay I will do the opposite of what others are doing I will do the righteous actions the enemy is actually experiencing an attack from you got it so things like that or let's say something had been done in the past which is not good okay maybe one particular set of people where ill treated there have been I mean I have heard of stories where leaders like spiritual leaders of the community have gone and asked for forgiveness for something that happened in the past which was not correct okay to these people so when such things happen for example let's say you know there is a there is a group that is very poor because injustice was done to them and they are poor and the spiritual leaders actually go and ask for forgiveness from those who were oppressed many years ago or you know a generation ago it will release up the power of God in a fresh new way because we are doing an action opposite to what Satan has done right so all these things will also really make a big difference and even at a community level so this is also spiritual warfare righteousness that we can engage in any thoughts about this any questions yes yes please go ahead yes I so make sure so anytime we're doing action that is opposite of the devil we are in warfare like you gave the example treating people right regardless of race whatever what other people may be treating in certain race are different but we're not that's walking war for just anything that's opposite of the devil is walking I want to make sure that is that what you were saying to make sure I'm clear yes that's that's exactly what I'm saying okay perfect thank you yeah so what I'm saying is like counter trend if the trend is you know the trend is downward we go upward and in that way we are setting God's standard in that community okay thank you yes thank you alright so sure now we look at a few more actions to engage in power of agreement power of agreement as scripture teaches and prayer we've learned when we pray together we agree together you know that is strong that is very powerful and we can leverage that when it comes to warfare against Satan to pray with someone even when we are ministering we we can pray over them but there are times when you can pray with them in agreement and that can really help so that is also something we can use and pray as a team pray corporately for warfare against demons angels and engaging angels can also help because angels can war the demons okay so how to have more angelic activity we already discussed in the last class one is pray and ask God to send his angels second is we can declare scripture because the angels heed the voice of the Lord so when we declare scripture angels will do the work they'll start to you know take action so that is also something we must look at and yeah in the Bible there are many different kinds of angels there are examples given here in our notes we can go back and look at those examples like guardian angels what do guardian angels do they protect so they might just protect you in different times and they might cover you from the harm that Satan and the demons want to do to you so guardian angels there are messenger angels like Gabriel right they come they give a message that this is what God wants to speak to you so there are messenger angels who can come to us there are warring angels so we see them in the Old Testament they they come to engage in war okay and that's their task so every category of angels has a task they so as we pray as we praise as we declare the word angels can actually start destroying the demons so it can happen because scriptures talk about warring angels so there are warring angels there are also assisting angels those who will help us so God can send an angel to help us strengthen us okay guide us and and all of those things so there are assisting angels so in spiritual warfare we can engage angelic assistance for that we need to pray and declare pray and declare so make that a part of our practice is to pray and declare fine so angels and the last section here is authority gateways what are authority gateways authority gateways are the order of God God has created an order in every setting so if we look at any state or any nation we have government isn't it so we have government we have leaders and then you have different structures that oversee the activities of that particular place now if you take up an institution there is a leadership for the institution you know there are other people who are assigned responsibilities so that becomes the authority gateway so through the leaders of the institution God works if you take the church then pastor and leaders that is the authority gateway if you take a family then you know the father father mother and then the siblings so the authority flows like that we have to respect that if you take a you know married couple then the husband is the authority husband over the wife so it flows like that now why are we trying to understand this you see those who are in authority we can exercise we can exercise whatever we discussed on this on our sphere of influence now let's say I'm the leader of the church as a pastor I can bless I can speak protection I can speak you know God's intervention in people's lives it will be very powerful because that is how the authority flows more than can a believer pray for another believer yes we can but there is something about the authority structure when it goes in the order similarly for a family like if a parent prays for their children that's very powerful and similarly you know a husband can pray over his wife it's very powerful so these are all these are all structures that we must respect and we must also use the influence appointed by God given by God to that you know authority person in that circle so we see in first Corinthians 7 14 we've read this earlier in the prayer chapter that in a family even if let's say between a husband and a wife even if one person is an unbeliever there is going to be spiritual influence that one can exercise right so that tells us that our prayers are powerful as long as you are a believer prayers are powerful okay and we clarified last time also that this is in the situation that let's say you know it's not like you should go looking for an unbeliever to marry but if for whatever reason that has happened then yes we can still exercise our influence in prayer and yeah a husband can pray over his wife you can pray over the family a pastor can pray over the local church government leaders can have influence over the people and any team any group right whoever is the captain of the group carries some level of spiritual authority to bless to lead well and you know all of that so authority gateways or structures so if a person is in a position of authority use the influence in a positive way we can use it in a positive way over the people and if we let's say the leader is is walking in righteousness it will affect the people now let's say the leader is not walking in righteousness can that affect the people or do you think leader should be good leader should be doing the right things you know praying the right things over the people now what if the leader has sinned in their own lives what might happen see we said the authority gateway is that authority flows from the head of that institution now if the authority struck authority person is good if you take for example a church and the pastor is a good pastor walking in righteousness there's a good influence on the people what if the pastor has unrepentant sin in his own life then will that affect the people that's my question yeah so that's correct so if the leader is not careful whatever weaknesses we entertain as leaders we may find the same weaknesses in the people because it's like an open door so Satan and his demons can enter they can affect the leader's life and also the lives of all the others okay so that is very like you know we have to be so careful that we don't give any entrance to the enemy into our lives as leaders or whatever position even in the family whoever is the leader you have to be very careful but in some churches there is always a tendency where they keep finding faults with pastors you know so how do you keep finding faults with pastors I'm not saying pastors are not blameless but just to figure out you know okay this is what wrong this is how we react it this is how he responded this is what he spoke that type of her mindset it's like yeah yeah once again I'm just finding your scripture yeah it's first Timothy 5 verse 19 where it says do not okay let me read NKJV yeah NKJV version do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses so the Bible has see God respects the authority that he appoints so when it comes to accusation against a leader I'm not saying leaders are faultless they have their own weaknesses but if there is a serious accusation right one thing that we are told is the way we approach it it will be little bit different now if it's someone else even then I think Matthew 18 has a has a way like first you go speak to your brother try to resolve it if he doesn't listen then you go with you know some elders to talk about that matter so the Bible gives us a pattern to follow when when we have an accusation against a person and when we have an accusation against an elder or a leader it says first of all we have to be very sure that's that's what it means do not you know accept or do not receive an accusation that doesn't mean don't accuse them but it says you have to be sure I have to be very sure that there is a problem there's an issue and it says you need to have two or three witnesses so that again is telling us be very sure if there is a serious matter two or three of you are saying the same thing about the leader that means there is a problem okay now how do we address it the Bible teaches us that also it has to be done in a different way because there's honor involved you know towards the leader so you can't just address it a good way to do is to maybe have another elder who speak to the pastor or someone so that way it might be you can still address the problem okay yeah but I think thankfully in today's culture at least here in Bangalore what I have seen here in our church we do encourage people to share feedback and sometimes the feedback is you know good many times there is feedback that is not easy to digest but there is that openness if you want to say something say it right and to have a culture like that also so helpful because we don't have to wait for something big to happen constantly we are getting feedback and you know me someone can just come up to you and say hey you know what you said I don't think that is accurate or something like that right so I hope it addresses your issue thoroughly all right okay so yes leaders have to be careful we need yeah and the other aspects of it is that when there is authority over our lives we also have to be in right submission to it then God's power God's blessings will flow when we are in right submission to the authority and if at all there is a problem with the authority then as a person who's under authority I can still protect myself I don't have to you know have the weakness which my leaders have because you remember Paul told Timothy don't let anyone look down on you because you are young you can be an example in word indeed in behavior and everything so just because there's a problem with our leaders and I can't say oh they are like that that's why I'm like this no I can take my own responsibility and shut the door on whatever activity is going on right I don't want that to touch my life I can still walk pure and still walk with integrity if I make up my mind and determine to follow the Lord so these are some things that will really help us to walk strong with the Lord we'll take up some questions today and then I think the rest of the chapters are more practical and we have sufficient time to complete it in the coming weeks okay let me look at the questions here I'll go to Prat's question ma'am is there such a thing as a gift of intercession or ministry of intercession what are some biblical examples yes there is a ministry of intercession a good example is Epiphras in the New Testament so you can read up a little bit about this person he was a minister together with Paul and he was called to prayer he was called to intercession I hope that addresses your question Prat the second question that Prat has how do we identify or discern if we have a ministry or off intercess of intercession of prayer so we may sense that we are being stirred up more and more to pray we are receiving if you would like to call it like burdens from the Lord in our hearts and we feel like okay I need to make time to pray that could be an indicator that God wants us to spend more time in prayer and intercession so you can begin there and I'm sure the Lord will lead you okay Shani I'll just let you talk I know you posted something here in the chat but I didn't quite get the meaning of that yeah please go ahead yeah my question is when you say we have to have the right submission to the authority I think I kind of know what you mean but can you explain that can you give me an example yeah so right submission to authority means see we have we have the teachings the Apostle Peter if we read his writings the episodes that Peter wrote he talks about how one must behave with you know in the work setting so if we have a boss then what should be the attitude of the employee he talks about you know if there's a husband and what should be the attitude of the wife if there's a leader what should be the attitude of those who follow the leader so Peter talks a lot about this and maybe reading his episodes might help you first Peter is a good episode to study so we get the understanding that we must be good followers but at the same time it's not telling us to come under their control so there's there is that border Shani so submission does not mean coming under someone's control so we can still be our own person and still exercise the freedom that God has given us and yet be fully submitted to the authority over our lives so I just kind of summed it up do you have follow-up questions to that no that that was good thank you what I put in the chat I was thinking you were asking about in terms of them why is it not good for I guess a pastor to be sitting that's what I meant I thought that could you say didn't understand that what I was trying to say was that like if somebody is sitting or pastor that's cheating on his wife or things like that I just thought there's a certain spirit that can get on the congregation that's what I meant but I don't know if that's true but that's what I was told yes Shani so when let's say there is a weakness in the leader and as obviously like you know especially when it comes to a spiritual leader and they are sitting that's very dangerous that's very very dangerous and yes demonic spirits can enter through it and that could be a spirit behind you know whatever you you the example that you gave just now and that can affect people in the congregation and you might find that they are doing the exact same thing that the pastor is doing okay thank you thank you yeah so then as leaders we have to be on the guard so it's it's a high call it's a high call yes I think we have addressed the questions in the chat and we can just begin with one question that just there in my mind without taking a person's name see in the past there was a very famous man of God who had a very successful ministry okay so there were a lot of people who followed his works and you know his his ministry yeah and later when he moved on when he passed away and then they find out a lot of things which is not like fair so then the way people responded was in shock okay but honestly speaking that time do you actually nullify the way God worked through his life and the ministry and the people that he reached out that's the first question and the second question is like as a believer as a child of God the Bible also says no don't take the dust off somebody else's eye before you take it out of your own eye so people were like very much you know on the thrust of you know disapproving of what he did and yeah that's that's fine but yeah we are like we are not too judgmental on just the way he lived and yeah sure see we I maybe I'll answer the second question first and then the first question so the second question when somebody is sinning okay yes if you look up James chapter 4 it says do not judge your brother right don't judge your brother we see even in the teachings of Jesus it says like you you will be judged with the measure that you judge the Bible has to be like when we read when when we interpret it as you know one thought is coming through you have to see if there are opposing concepts in other parts of the Bible right so okay we get it that okay don't judge them in in an unbalanced way that point we got but when you look at the life of Jesus no scriptures tell us that Jesus was anointed Jesus was exalted because he loved what is good and he hated what is wrong think about this even Jesus when something was wrong he was upset about it he did not cover it up so then can we judge an evil in another person's life answer is yes we should get upset when we see something wrong in another person's life but how do we address it you know as we discussed earlier if it's somebody in leadership there is there is a correct way of going about it and we must speak the truth in love okay speak the truth in love so the answer is it's okay to judge a kill it's okay to judge the sin the sin yeah in the scenario things came into light only after he passed away yeah but at least we are admitting that what happened was wrong we should admit that it just remove all the works that he's done and all the books that is written and those things yeah so see one is we are clear on what is right and wrong what happened is wrong that should not have happened okay that is one thing now what do we do with his ministry what do we do with his works now we know you know scriptures tell us I think it is Romans 1129 the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable so gifts and callings come from God and in the ministry there could have been a lot of things said and done which were genuinely from God you got it yes God used him as a vessel and we don't have to burn all the right things yeah we don't have to get rid of everything but you see the problem is now when we read those books or when we listen to those sermons we we may struggle to accept right many of us we're like oh why should we listen to this person because testimony is something once a person loses their testimony it makes it that much harder for people to accept their ministry yeah yeah God spoke through that person like scenario where you actually look at it on the different perspective as you know like when you can go back to listen to some sermons now it had a very good positive influence worldwide so you can always take it like you know God spoke through him yeah people and rather than just saying no I will no longer listen to this yeah yeah see God definitely work through the person but again it's each one's individual decision because some people may not be able to you know when when you think of that person you don't feel like like how do you know how do you know what he's saying is right like you get all these doubts so some people may on purpose not want to venture that site so we let them be sister can I say something yes yes sister cartoon sister see when the person is alive they didn't confront with his sin attitude or whatever when the person dies they are bringing all the allegations but we don't know I think like it could be a demonic attempt to bring down his ministry because if if they were right they could have confronted when he was alive okay no I see a point but also if there is enough evidence sister that's why I was telling Akhil if there is enough evidence and we know wrong has happened then it's okay to admit that yes what happened was wrong this person was wrong it should be fine yeah but but thank you I totally get what you're trying to thank you yes thank you sir yes Warren yes I just want to say you know this just incidents like this just go to prove to us you know no matter how close we have to go to how fully a person may seem to be we are always prone to temptation and you know we have to always be on our guard and the more we get closer to God the the more the enemy wants to attack us and bring us down okay so you're just sharing no Warren it's not a question exactly I'm just sharing sorry yeah so Warren is saying we have to be on our guard you have to be on our guard especially when we are serving in areas of responsibility and the Lord is helping us rise up in responsibility yeah thank you for sharing that Warren Shani yeah can you clarify I know it says to don't judge somebody but then you said it's okay to do it because if somebody's sending you gonna judge him so can you kind of clarify that because you had mentioned that earlier yeah see judging by judging I'm not saying that we are condemning a person but we are calling right right and wrong wrong which is admitting right and wrong okay okay I think that okay it's like if you're made the right or wrong then it kind of condemning them and oh yeah yes go ahead yeah I don't know if you're if you're I don't know because some people if if they're doing something that's not right and you tell them it's not right isn't that they may think of that as kind of condemnation in a way I don't know that's kind of how I'm gonna talk a little bit okay see that it needs a lot of wisdom there's a right way of approaching this and the right way of speaking the truth to them but someone has to address it Shani and you know that I mean there are other scriptures that teach us that when we do this it will help them come out and lead a righteous life but the opposite of that okay now let's consider we don't correct someone we say okay yeah it's fine everything is fine keep going but that is flattery and you know like just praising them despite the issues that is not correct no because then we are actually misleading the person okay so if they're if they're doing something that right just tell it I guess the way you approach it to a tell them but don't ask them won't don't keep badgering about it and like telling them you know over and over again about is that what you're trying to say yes yes so when we do it with the right heart our intention is to help that person bring them out of that situation it's a good thing there's there's nothing wrong with judging the sin what they keep doing it you see that's up to them there's only so much that we can do for each other but beyond that if that person is not willing to take responsibility then at least we did what we are supposed to do okay so they keep doing it just leave it along because you already told that okay okay perfect clarifies things thank you thank you thank you okay some comments here in the chat okay sister Gertrude but sometimes people judge after people's death why not when person was alive I think the evidence came out after the person died and maybe that's why you know the issue started and we don't judge the person okay Sanjay says hate the sin not the sinner great all right so yeah thank you class it's interesting as ever for teaching you know and spending time with all of you let's close with a word of prayer and I want to request someone from our online batch to please pray before we end the class anyone okay sister Gertrude could you please lead us yes sister heavenly father but thank you for what we have learned today my master and all the details my master to how to protect ourselves and depend on self and to have the warfare my master lord with the righteousness my master lord in our heart I pray that we will use all the weapons that we have given us everything that we have taught us in detail my master to stand on your word and to take a right full place my master to defend our family our church and our nation my lord I thank you for all that sister's taught us that we may practice it every day in our life in the mighty name of Jesus I pray amen


So let me look at Adobe here but this could be a decent trade. We'll wait for a pullback. We want to go into the eight days. We're not going into tomorrow's expiry and so I was looking at the 267.5. Perhaps what we'll do is I'll put Delta back here. So perhaps the 270 might be better, 42. So let's just see how the S&P behaves for just a minute or so. So that's not too bad. Hey guys, look at Apple, okay? Apple is up $405. Okay, I'm taking it off. I'm taking it off. 1.11. That's a $400 profit there at that level. Okay, Apple got executed. Amazon is still very much within the condor and so we just want to get some time decay off of this the moment. Now these are all part of the swing trade so you don't look at that. What I want to do is keep this ready and I'm going to go with Adobe because even the ES is bouncing back. All right, so five contracts. I'm getting in, 405 on Adobe, sorry. Okay, 405 I'm in too. So Adobe is in at 405. Adobe is up $270. So this is a $2,000 trade. So let's see how much Adobe can go up. That was a good bar on all three, on all three, the ES as well as the stocks. Folks, it's 20%. I'm looking a little soft also, it's not able to have the momentum. So I'm taking 20%. Okay, so 475. I'm taking it, closing Adobe. Okay, all right, 485. I think we got about 20% on that. Yeah, exactly. So not bad, not bad. And there's a little generally some softness coming in.


Cause it's okay, I said and it's alright I serve all day, I play my tunes at night I wake up in the morning, yes I do it again

I feel excited right now. Yeah, are you nervous? Just a little bit more like an excited nervousness, but Butterflies, like anxious. I'm very anxious though. I'm very anxious to start.  So tell our followers, first of all, say hi because I forgot to do that. Hello everyone, my name is Jeremy Hixon. I was actually with the Pasco Sheriff's Office Explorer Program. I love it.

High school, ninth grade. Okay, okay. That's really cool. Okay, so what are you thinking that new member orientation is going to be like, what are your thoughts going into it? I think it's going to be like a mini academy. I mean, we, before getting this job, you have to go through a certified police academy, which lasts six months, and you pretty much get taught the fundamentals of law enforcement, case law, Florida Statues, things like that. So I think it's going to be kind of like that. Except more agency-driven, like agency directives. What we are looking for in our men and women. Okay. We're men this time around because there are actually no women in this class. That's okay. Next round, females come out, support. But that's okay. So kudos. So I mean, you guys, like I said, we will be following along with this class from start to finish. And we'll see DT Hickson very soon. Sounds good. Okay, everyone. So I am with Deputy Trini Martinez. Say hello to our followers. Hello. Boom. So he is going to talk to us a little bit about how he's feeling today, the first day of new member orientation, and actually how he came over and got to PSO. So tell our followers, what's your story? I'm actually very excited and happy to be here. I love it. I learned about the Sheriff's Office. Here in Pasco, through a friend that I used to know in the military. Okay. He told me all about it. He told me there's a better agency. That we're incredible, basically. Yes. To come over with us. Mm-hmm. All that. So I figured I'd give it another chance after, since I was already, I completed that academy with Hillsborough Sheriff's Office. Mm-hmm. And I'm, and I left on good terms. So I'm pretty much, I don't know what to say. And I left on good terms. I pretty much resigned after they gave me the option. Mm-hmm. I actually went through phase three of FTO. Oh, okay. And I was at the, right before I was about to let, to go on the street on my own to do the job. They had a few concerns and they asked me if I wanted to resign a kid. And I said yes. Mm-hmm. But other than that, I was part of SOP 45, Special Office Training 45. That was really cool. H-C-S-O. And that's, that's like a boot camp that you do prior to going to the academy. Yes. We don't have that here, but every agency is different. Before the academy, they have a two week training that you stay with them except for Saturday, Friday and Saturday night. Oh, it's overnight, okay. So you stay overnight and they wake you up early in the morning and you go to work and do everything all the way through the evening. Okay. The whole two weeks kind of like Marine Corps boot camp. I was like, it literally sounds like as if you're enlisting and it's like a boot camp like that. It's pretty close to the military boot camp. But that's only two weeks and it's very fun. You get to work out and you get to shoot, you get, you know, a little bit of training, team building, kind of like we're doing here in the first week. But H-C-S-O is no PSO. No, not at all. Just saying. Okay. So with all of that, you decided that you would come with PSO because your friend had talked about us. Yes. I had a buddy that told me it's going to be completely different. Like, I felt like he sold me on that, that how everybody works together and they take care of each other a lot more. We're a family. Than anything else. Okay. And that's what I was looking forward to working with is family culture where everybody takes care of each other and, you know, just want to be able to work in a happy environment. Exactly. Not, you know, dislike what you're coming to do. And the support in those around you plays a large part into that. But kudos to you. Thank you for coming and joining us. Thank you for talking to us. And we'll be seeing more of Deputy trainee Martinez over the next eight weeks. Yeah. All right. Okay, everyone. So that kind of wraps up the first day. It's just a lot of paperwork that they're doing. But I hope you guys like this kind of series that I'm trying to do within the YouTube channel. I'm trying to model it off of a TV show that we saw with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. We're basically their follow from start to finish. So that's what we're going to do with these guys.  So stay tuned and we'll see what we can get into in the next eight weeks.


Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for such a warm welcome. You're very, very beautiful, very sweet, very gracious, very generous, and all the kids in the band want you to know that we do love you madly. This is our new opening without the band, but we, you know, we don't want to act to be anticlimactic. Our first election is taken from our recently released album, the Afrobosa. The Afrobosa selection is a kind of a gut bucket ballero. We start it now in a rather primitive rhythm, executed in a rather pre-primitive manner through the hands of Sam Woodyard. Afrobosa. Afrobosa. And now our conception of a wonderful old favorite, one I'm sure you'll recognize the urge to hear the melody. It's none other than heel kicking time in the land of happy feet, sometimes known as stomping at the Savoy. We'd like now to do one of the tunes. In the picture it was a gypsy guitar solo, but now we'd like to give it the flavor of the cha-cha. Sam Woodyard, the drums cha-cha. Harry Cardi wants you to know that he, too, loves you madly. And our work and his flugelhorn and perdido, of course, we have to fill it. We have to fill it with something that is not connected on stage. In order to punctuate this particular period, I should like very much to go into detail. Preceded by a little take-off on a piano-tinkle-title kind of duke-ish. And now, Johnny Hodges. Johnny Hodges, and I got it back. Listen, there's trumpet there. The phone's so low and sophisticated, lady. It was played by Russell Prockel. Do Nothing Did You Hear From Me was played on trombone by Lawrence Brown. trumpet solo in solitude was by Cootie Williams. Our first encore, we would like to bring you from the original Newport Jazz Festival to sing diminuendo in blue and crescendo in blue with Paul Ganzalves in the wailing. You meet one of our most obscene in-person appearances, but who's always heard internationally celebrated composer the composer of our theme, Take The A Train. Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Strayhorn is known as The Cool. Billy Strayhorn is here, ladies and gentlemen, and being exposed to an attitude generous, such a magnificent, such a musically mature audience. We thought that we should like someone to play something beautiful with proper delicacy. Billy Strayhorn.


Okay, I guess we are live. Hello, everybody. Again, no, no more questions from my side. I'm done. No more quizzes. Congratulations again to the winner. And yes, let's get it started and see what happened on day two besides the quiz. So which was of course the highlight. What happened and the group for modules and support flows? Hello, everybody. You can hear me. Yeah, today was a very busy work day. We had a lot of contributions for new modules, NF test ports and also updated modules. Yeah, just to highlight a couple of we worked on Maxima module, Kraken subworkflow, Kraken modules. Also this sick profiler extractor, which is currently on the way onto bio condos, which is also very nice. SV type arrest. So and yeah, a lot of modules imported from Python test to NF test, which is also very nice to see, as well as updated modules like cell posts, mass mirror, back to back to and back to download. So moving on to the next slide, which is probably not super updated, but from previous slide, you see a lot of work has been done. So good job, guys. Keep it up. And looking forward for your contributions tomorrow. Nice. Thank you very much. I just need to quickly change something. Let's see what breaks so that the people here on location also can see the slides. Just bear with me a second. Sorry for that. At least it's the sound seems to be better this time.  What do you see now? You should see this. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Oh, okay. Good. Then we continue with the next group, which is NF test. Hello. Hello. Hello. I'm currently against city of the sock hunters, as it seems. I'm going to present what we did for NF test today. We mostly updated some modules, but we've been really helpful in the other groups, I think today, answering a lot of questions. People have a lot of problems with NF test and we solve them for them. And I think that was the main thing we did today. So then, okay, next slide, please. So because of this, we, this is definitely not up to date. But because of this, we did not open that much PR scroll, then close that much PR, but I should have added another slide to it. That says issue solved. Okay, that's it for the NF test group. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. A lot of screens and difficult to get the cursor right. The next group is pipelines. And that is Lawrence next to me. Hi. So for pipelines, we mainly worked on new features and fixing bugs. So for Zavac, for instance, we have a new module for our low surreptor. Also working on fixing full size tests and updating the copy number variation and sub workflows. For CRISPR sec, we're currently working on adding a new feature. So the a new flag. And for a funk scan, we reduced the test data sets and updated module. And also updated many pipeline modules, which is a work in progress and worked on fixing the CI tests for a big module. For Metapap, there are main minor work on PR. So something to do with protein reproducibility and working with NCBI utilities. We also worked on documentation or on making certain flags mandatory or not. So that was on differential abundance. Currently working on making sure that the flags that make the pipeline fail are mandatory. And also on pan genome user support on different requests. And then a lot of template updates. So we listed all the NF core pipelines, where people are currently working on updating the templates. So that was the main to do is of today. Yeah, that's it on our side. Thanks. Thank you. Yes, infrastructure. More work happening on the NF core configs. Great. Remember this command for an ex quiz, maybe. Also nice progress on the pipeline health page. Actually, we are stuck a bit with permissions, but that's just a temporary hurdle, I'm sure. We got some updates for the VS code extension pack, which we should release pretty soon because we finally figured out the token thing also. And then also PR is almost finished with the case insensitive module and sub work flow names when you create them. And let's we also have some stats. So today, we guess that we opened around four and closed around eight issues. So that's progress you want to see it when the hackathon slowly starts to end that you solve more issues than you open. And PRs are now quite even, but hopefully for tomorrow, we'll also see a lot more PRs merged so that we don't have anything left to do after the hackathon. And for that, we needed to do lots of reviews and yes, be prepared for tomorrow for us asking you very kindly and very insistently to please review PRs. With that on to the documentation and training material team. Yeah, hi. So just before the quiz, we made a decision to restructure the tools training entirely to have it more modular fashion. So at the moment, we have only one MD file, and we will have it in sections and each section will have its own MD file, which should also help us with the merge requests that we are having now. Because before we can restructure, we have to merge all PRs that are currently open. And it is a nightmare that I'm going through. Then we're also wanting to change the data that we currently use in the tutorial. So that is something that is currently being worked on. And that will help us to have actually examples that work. Yay. And we also added some answers for exercises that we're currently doing. So lots of work in progress. I think the restructuring is the main point to be that I hope to be finished by tomorrow. And that's it from documentation and training. Thank you. Sorry, always keep forgetting to unmute me for the social activities. Day two, what happened? We asked you for some pictures for pizza, we got many group pictures done, some pictures of success, and some spring, spring signs like planking in Halberg stuff you just do here in Halberg. I don't know why. And also another big milestone is that we have now 1000 GitHub members or contributed like members signed up as contributors in on the GitHub organization. So thank you and welcome everybody. This hackathon again, like pushed quite a lot of people into the organization. We're hoping you stay around and hoping you are feeling welcome here. Sorry for the people who get signed up to all their notifications for all pipelines, because there is a lot happening now, especially with modules, you can very easily or not so easily, but you can sign or unsubscribe from all of them, or like Phil recommended, just set an email filter so your inbox just is not overfull with modules updates and new PRs there. With that, that was day two from Europe. Of course, it continues on over the pond. And in this Americas. Yes, like basically hackathon almost over now, day two past day three is really just like getting stuff robbed up. And yeah, having enjoy your probably different pizzas you will still having and other social events there. And see you tomorrow for the final day. Thank you very much and enjoy the rest of the hackathon. Bye


Muslim American community might be the group that faces more challenges than any other demographics here in this country. But they never stop have their voices to be heard. They came all over the country and gathered here in Washington, D.C. to celebrate President Barack Obama's second term national delegation. Let's get close to them and share their stories. Different belief, different fashion styles, different clothes and even different R&B songs. Everything about the Muslim Americans community are so different that sometimes you might forget they are one of the earliest immigration group in the United States. Every pass back to this country you will find a Muslim by and large. The reason why we're holding this game is to portray what true Muslim America represents. Talib Karim, the co-chair of Muslim American Presidential Inaugural Committee, said when he first came to work in Capitol Hill 22 years ago, things were different. Because when I was first working here in Washington and on Capitol Hill, there were no gatherings such as that. And so oftentimes I wouldn't be able to go in the prayer service. But now staffers don't have to, you know, fill that tension of missing prayer service because they have an opportunity to go to Juma right there in the Capitol building itself. Stepping into 20th century, the Muslim community in America has grown from a small minority to one of the farthest growing religions in this country. Today they have become even more visible, especially after 9-11. We acknowledge that those things are the case and we don't make any apologies for anybody because everybody needs to be judged on their own. Nonetheless, we believe that it's important for the government to avoid stereotyping Muslims. To Nadia McIntosh, a Muslim woman and once her single mom, the life under her scarf is different from many other American women. Because I'm a Muslim, I lost my job. I used to work for San Antonio Housing Authority. It was always an issue, why am I praying? And I usually did my prayers during my break, either my lunch break or my ten minutes break. I never used their time to do that, but I started covering up so they were uncomfortable with that and it didn't like the idea that I was praying, so it was always an issue about that. One day they eliminate the whole position. Unemployment can mean struggling to get by. As a single mom with three children, Nadia said she felt like an underdog. Because I couldn't pay my rent on time, I got evicted by them. Once I got evicted by them, my children and I were living in our car. We lived in our car for like maybe about a month, just going from house to house, getting help, you know, to eat, but we lived in the car, going to different places. Instead of surrending, she showed how the woman wearing her scarf can still change herself and are the Muslim's woman's destiny. She built our non-profit organization to provide the shelters for Muslim women. I ended up opening a shelter. Why? Because I saw women were going through the same thing I went through. The masjids were not helping the women. They were helping the men. The men couldn't sleep at the masjid, but the women could not. Like Nadia, more and more Muslims are Americans trying to prove that even though they are different, they can still be as strong as the others. They can follow their heart and have their own unique life. America is my heritage. That's how, that's who I was born as. Muslim is what I choose to do. It's my religion that I choose. It's my way of life that I choose. That America can be a Muslim is not a competing thing. So I don't like to say I'm one first or the other. And it's always peaceful. I want to go to a land like Zion. I want to go where you can't get higher. To dumb, there should be a paradise with every race living together, equally. I want to go where the corruption is gone. I want to go where you love is gone. The universal song, we want to find out some cultures. Everybody aspires to something higher. And that's what that song speaks to. It speaks to reaching something higher or something better over the long term. But we got to work for that. That means we have to work together and we have to work as people to try to achieve that goal.


It's delicious. Awesome. It's perfect. What's up, guys? Lenny Gale, Life is Know-Yours. Today, I want to show you the new immersion blender from Vitamix. When I picked up the box, it felt like I was holding an Apple product. And this may just be because I've been making a career working with Vitamix and I'm used to huge boxes. But this thing is teeny. And then the other reason is, you know, you look closely and this verbiage is something like you'd see on an iPhone designed in the USA and then manufactured and assembled in China. And that's unique because all Vitamix products, you know, it's no secret, they source some of the materials overseas. But they're all assembled here in the United States, in Ohio. So it feels more like an Apple product. But then when you open up the box, you're like, oh, okay, yeah, this is a Vitamix. You can feel it's, it's heavy duty. I think the tech specs say it's 2.8 pounds. It's not break your arm or wrist heavy, but it's significant. The cord is long because, well, that makes sense. You need to have a, you don't need to kind of travel to your pot of soup. Stainless steel top, stainless steel sort of wand. And so this seems to have everything that the best immersion blenders have. On the top, it has a few speeds, but not too many to give you sort of precise textures. It feels good in the hand, it's easy to work with. It's long. I mean, it is designed to go all the way into pots of soup, not just halfway. And so the stainless steel is here to be heat resistant. The sort of bell bottom is plastic and that's to guard against scratching the bottom of a pot. And that's also one of the inherent safety features. This is to protect you and then also you can't drive the motor unless the wand is safely assembled on it. And then unique to Vitamix products in general, two things. One, the blade is teeny tiny and it's sharp. Vitamix blades on the full size blenders are dull. And then also unique to most Vitamix products, this thing is quiet. I'd say it has the same noise output as an electric toothbrush. I mean really, award for the quietest Vitamix right here. All immersion blenders are really good at one thing and that's blending in the cup or the pot that you're cooking it in or you're going to drink it out of. That's what it's best at. Cleanup is simple, no transfer, that's this thing's wheelhouse.  Soups made with broth and vegetables to add a little bit of texture to kind of blend it up a little bit, great for dressings, emulsifications, little bits of baby food. We found and we were so pleasantly surprised, ice cream, frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, a splash of milk and go to town. You have a single serving of banana ice cream, strawberry banana ice cream. That's probably our favorite thing to do with this, only slightly ahead of a single serving of pesto. Usually you have to make a fairly decent amount of pesto in any Vitamix container. This thing made a little bit and what isn't pesto good on? What doesn't it make better? Pesto's the best. Pesto's the best. In general and true with this immersion blender, it's not great at making silky smooth smoothies and silky smooth protein shakes and velvety soups and there is a difference and this is the difference that only a full-sized Vitamix can provide. This is why smoothies and juices, whole food juices from a quick serve restaurant taste better than the ones at home that you make. They're made in a Vitamix. They taste different. It's the difference between a sugar cube taste different than granulated sugar taste different than powdered sugar and you can see the difference. So we tried to make our balsamic butternut squash soup using the immersion letter and it kind of looked and tasted like mashed potatoes but then we transferred it put it into our full-sized container and it transformed into this like a different color and a completely different taste and the soup that people rave about and that we knew was good but we're like wait a minute what's wrong with the soup like I thought it was a wonderful amazing magical soup. This cannot do that. Likewise with protein shakes we like to add oats to our protein shakes to make them less chalky. When we made a protein shake it was not chalky but there were still sort of chunks we had to kind of chew the oats. What was it? It didn't. Very bad. Why? I get the impression it would be the same thing with a sort of a peanut butter and jelly smoothie we make with raspberries and blueberries and blackberries. Those teeny tiny seeds probably wouldn't get pulverized, broken down like they do in a full-sized Vitamix. We didn't test our green juice but I would imagine that green juice that has kale in it would probably have some kale chunks but that's consistent with any Vitamix alternative. A Ninja, a Nutribullet, Oster, Breville, that's what you get when you make green smoothies with kale. You got to chew it a little bit and yeah I mean this is not deceptive marketing because you got a green smoothie in here but pineapple, grapes, a little bit of ice and spinach it can do that and that looks like about the consistency you would get. I would call BS if there was kale in here but there's not and it goes without saying the immersion wonder it can't do heavy-duty tasks so chopping like when you make our detox salad using it as a food processor replacement gave it a shot at making nut butter the simplest one peanut butter yeah so it just kind of turned off I mean a little bit yeah I mean it's kind of peanut buttery but I I can't say I would recommend doing this and then of course this thing also doesn't have the power to heat full-size Vitamix is going to be able to heat your hot soups not so much this thing was really easy to clean a couple of drops of soap and warm water drop it in turn it on it's quiet with some really sticky or thick blends which I'm not even sure you would do anyway you really have to get in there and it gets kind of tricky to get out under the blade most of what you're gonna be making is not so thick and like cement sticky that it would be an issue and would need more elbow grease than just sticking it into a cup with warm water but just put it out there if you do do that it's tricky to get in there like any immersion blender let's talk about who this thing might be for the new immersion blender from Vitamix might be for you if you're looking to get into the Vitamix family you're trying to adopt a healthy lifestyle and you're in the market for maybe a Nutribullet or maybe a Ninja Blender that's kind of your budget and you're intrigued by the durability by the three-year full warranty which covers everything free shipping both ways and you're intrigued by the convenience blend in the same cup you will be drinking from and you're intrigued by the versatility this thing can do a lot more than a blender you'll have for a year this thing might be for you if you have a small kitchen you live in a big city we have friends that live in tiny apartments and but they really are into cooking and want to get more into cooking the footprint of this thing is tiny and would be a great thing to have if you're looking to make more hot soups and occasionally a smoothie or some ice cream this thing might be for you if you're really into making hot soups or you want to get into making hot soups because if you ask top chefs what they need to make hot soups they'll always say an immersion blender this thing might be for you if you're already a Vitamix owner you have a full-size Vitamix and you're like hmm single-serve ice cream single-serve pesto playing around with hot soups in the pot sounds pretty good to me it might be for you if you like the idea of meal prepping so you're making smoothies for the entire weeks using mason jars so you're gonna fill five mason jars with ingredients put them in the fridge and then in the morning every day make yourself a smoothie you will love this thing and this might be for you if you know someone who is a Vitamix lover and you want to get them a gift this isn't necessarily something you'd buy for yourself if if you have a full-size Vitamix because it's not something you need but if you have it you're gonna love it on the other hand it might not be for you if you're looking to make silky smooth smoothies and whole food juices you don't like the idea of chewing your smoothies or your protein shakes or if you want velvety smooth soups ones that you would get at a Michelin rated restaurant okay real talk guys we like this thing probably never would have bought it for ourselves because we have a full-size Vitamix that can do all of these things better albeit maybe less conveniently like the soups and smoothies but we really liked it for making single-serve strawberry banana ice cream we love making pesto tonight we're making dressing and emulsified salad dressing for dinner using this and well we're probably going to be exploring more with soups not the velvety smooth soups that we have on our website but ones that are stock which is broth and vegetables to get a varied consistency we hope to well we're gonna upload a full review of this thing down the road once we've had a chance to use it really get a sense of how we use it in our home and so guys subscribe to our channel if you haven't already hit that bell to get notified and if you appreciate videos like this hit that thumbs up and thank you so much for watching we'll see you in the next one bye guys okay all right well that's super easy I would say all the Vitamix products for a second you can push it all right go for it nice okay let go ready good this is like Lucy Lucy we're safe classic immersion blender that you need to kind of go for a second like scrape the sides yeah yeah sounds like it did give me that pull that still ice cream that's cool this here and hold note back okay cool hands off yeah okay let's take a look I mean I think it looks good can you hold it upside down dangerous you're good now I'm good actually quite good so hang on we got to do the actual video part okay it doesn't need to be cut because it's really small cool really cool I'm impressed


In today's video, we'll be taking a look at Studio One MIDI Basics. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. So if you're just getting started with Studio One, learning how to record and edit MIDI is a key skill. And that's what we're going to be looking at in today's video. We're going to be running through what MIDI actually is, how to set up Studio One to record MIDI and how to edit MIDI in different ways. So stick around for all of that. Before we do get started, if you like this kind of content all about home recording, DAWs, gear reviews, plugin reviews, that kind of thing, then please do subscribe and ring the bell on YouTube so that you get notified about my future videos. Now let's get stuck into some MIDI. So I thought we'd start off by talking about what MIDI actually is because I see some people who've been recording for years who still get confused about this so let's dispel that confusion now. I've got a project open here in Studio One and I've enlarged two tracks. The first one in blue there is a MIDI track. That's something I've recorded earlier and you can see the notes there on that MIDI track. The second one is a bass guitar track and that's an audio track. That's the two types of things that you can really record in Studio One, MIDI and audio. Now, if we have a listen, I press play, you can hear that bass guitar. You can see the waveform there and that's because we've recorded that in much the same way as we used to record to tape. We've recorded the actual sound of the instrument. Now with the MIDI track, if I go to the piano and then I click on play, that is the sound of silence and that's because MIDI itself makes no sound. Let me say that again, MIDI makes no sound. Instead, what MIDI does is it records events. In this case, the events of me playing on my external keyboard. It records which note was played. It remembers how long that note was played for, whether I'm using the sustain pedal, whether I'm using modulation, pitch band, all kinds of other controls on my keyboard. But the actual sound is not recorded. Now in the old days, what we used to do was we would connect, say a synthesizer or a drum machine via MIDI cables to the computer and then we could use this as a sequencer. We could control those external instruments using MIDI information like this. But if we actually wanted to get the sound of the actual instrument, we had to still use audio cables coming from that instrument, going into an audio interface and actually record the sound. Now these days we have something called virtual instruments. These are really like synthesizers inside the computer itself because computers are much more powerful now. And of course we don't have to use cables to make the connections. But we do still have to make a connection of a kind and that's a software connection. So what I'm going to do now is connect this MIDI track up to a virtual instrument. I've got one already loaded up, so I'll just go up here to the top and I'll select the output of this MIDI and it's going to go to this piano instrument here. Now if I press play, so that MIDI information is actually playing that piano in real time. Every time I hit play on my DAW Studio One, it's actually going to play any MIDI instruments in real time. That's very, very handy because we can make adjustments to the notes. So we could change some pictures. We could change the duration of notes. We could actually change the instrument itself. We could hook this MIDI up to a different instrument if we decide not to use this piano. And that's all the things I'm going to be covering in the rest of this tutorial. So I hope that's clear to you now what MIDI actually is. No sound, just information about what was played. So in order to record some MIDI, you're going to have to have some kind of input device. Either an external keyboard like a controller keyboard or a synthesizer or electric piano or maybe a drum machine. Now if you don't have any of those things, I'm going to show you a quick workaround so that you can actually use your computer keyboard to play notes. So let's go ahead and do that now. We're at the start screen here in Studio One. Let's quickly set some things up. We'll go down to configure external devices. I'll click on that. Now let's use the case where you don't have an external device first because it's very, very easy to set up your QWERTY keyboard. Just click on add at the bottom here. Go down to the personas folder. Open that up. Go down to where it says QWERTY keyboard. Click on OK. And you've added your computer keyboard as a device that can be used for MIDI input. Now the other way of doing is when you have something like an external keyboard and that's going to slightly vary depending on which one you have. In my case, I have a specific one which is in the list. So I'll click on add. Mine's a Yamaha and I'll go down to the Yamaha folder and I'll click on KX and I'll just make sure that I set up the ports correctly. So this is where your instrument is connected to the computer whether it's by MIDI cables or whether it's by USB. In my case, it's by a USB cable and that's called USB MIDI cable and I'm going to set that for the receive from and the receive to and I'll click on OK for that. Now if you go to add and you look at the list of devices there and yours is not listed, that's OK. Just click on new keyboard at the top there. Give it a name. I'll leave mine as new keyboard and then just select your connection there whether it's as I say MIDI or a USB cable. Select the in and out connections. Click OK. And the main functions of that keyboard are going to work. The keys and probably a few other smaller functions like the sustain pedal modulation pitch, etc. But you won't have complete control over your keyboard, but you can use it as a MIDI input device. So that is how you go ahead and add your instruments and now we're ready to go ahead and actually create our first MIDI track. So I'm going to start off by creating a new song. I'm here at the Studio One Start page and I'm just going to click on create a new song. That brings up this dialog box and I want to create an empty song. So under styles I'll just select the empty song template and I'll call this song MIDI. Creative, huh? Then I'll click on OK and that opens up this empty song here. Now if I just want to go ahead and create a pure MIDI track I could right click on the left over here and select add an instrument track. Now these terms are a little bit interchangeable in Studio One MIDI and instrument here. So to create a MIDI track we create an instrument track. Now this is like the track that we created earlier on, the one that had no sound. If we recorded something in here now with our keyboard things would appear on the screen but there would be no actual sound and that's because it's not connected to any kind of instrument. And if you were connecting to an external instrument such as a synthesizer or a piano or drum machine this is how you would probably create that track. But we're going to be connecting to a virtual instrument one that everybody should have on their system and that's a little bit easier than just adding an instrument track there. So we'll get rid of that one. I'll click on remove track and instead we're going to go over to the right hand side here and in the browse window we're going to select the instruments tab which I already have selected. I'm going to go down to the personas folder and double click on that and then I'm going to double click on presence. That's our presence virtual instrument and then under these presets I'm going to go for piano. I'll double click on piano folder and then I'm going to select the third one down which is acoustic piano full and I'm just going to drag it all the way over to the left hand side and what that does is it sets up our MIDI track but it also sets up the virtual instrument as well and it connects the two together so that we're ready to go. Now if you didn't see that particular instrument there it's probably because you haven't downloaded it yet. In order to do that just quickly go up to studio one at the top there and then go to studio one installation. That opens up this window where you can install extras for studio one and you want to go into the instruments folder and the presence XT core library and I would actually just download all of the instruments in there but if you just want this particular one I think it's in the presence XT core keyboards library. I'm not absolutely certain but I'm pretty sure it is. If I'm wrong let me know down in the comments. I've already got it so I don't need to download it but you should if you want to follow along with this exactly. So we have our instrument ready almost to record but there's a couple of things we're going to have to do. We're going to have to make sure we have an input selected. Now that's the two things that we added earlier. Now I've got my Yamaha keyboard, you may be using the PC keyboard so let's take a look at that first. In order to use the PC keyboard what you're going to have to do is open the mix window and I'll do that by clicking on mix at the bottom right hand corner and this shows the mix console and right over to the left you can see there's an external button there to show external instruments or connections sorry devices and that will open up that and then you can see your QWERTY keyboard there. Double click on that and it will open up this QWERTY keyboard interface which you can see there and now if I play on my computer keyboard nothing happens and that's because we need to be able to arm this so that we can hear sounds. I'll just get rid of that mix window there and I'll go up to the top where I've got created my track and I'm just going to record enable it by hitting the record button. That also switches on this speaker icon here so that we can hear things. If you didn't actually want to record at the moment you could just hit the speaker icon so you can hear what's going on but I'm going to record so I'll click on that. Now if I play on my QWERTY keyboard I can play my piano and I can also play on my Yamaha keyboard here which is this one. Okay if you want to pick a specific device to record from just click on this I icon up here open that go down to in and then you can select a specific input there. At the moment I've got it listening to all inputs it will record from whatever I play. Okay so we're pretty much ready to go ahead and record but we want to be setting up the metronome. So while I'm recording I want to play along with a click or a metronome to stay in time so I need to be setting that up as well as the tempo of the song as well. So right at the bottom to the right of the transport controls we can see this metronome section here and I'm just going to click on that sort of triangular shape icon there and turn it blue and that means we can now hear the metronome. If I press play by pressing space on my keyboard we can hear that the metronome is set up. A couple of things it may not be the correct tempo and also it may not be loud enough so let's deal with the tempo first. To the right again of that metronome section we'll see the tempo section over there. Now I can just click on that number where it says 71 at the moment I can click on that and I can enter a new value. If I put in 100 press enter that sets up the tempo of the song like that or you may want to set it up by feel you can sort of feel that tempo when you're playing and the way you'll do that is to left click with your mouse on the word tempo here just for a few bars and it's going to calculate the actual beats per minute that you need. So I'll do that now takes a little while before it kind of calibrates and it's settled on 70 there and that seems fine so I've done you know a bar and a half of clicks there. Now once you've done that you may want to set up the volume of the metronome. We're going to do that by clicking on the mix button here to open up the mix console and right to the right hand side of that console we can see the master fader. Now right in the middle above the master fader you can see a little icon there and if we hold down on that icon we can adjust the level of the click or the metronome there. So I'll put it up at the top and then I'll press play again to have a listen. Now that still may not be loud enough for you if you want it to cut through while you're recording. So what you can also do, I'll just shut the mix control, what you can also do is go back to the metronome section click on that little spanner icon there and that brings up a few more properties of the metronome there. So I'm just going to push that accent level up quite a lot and that beat level up quite a lot there now. I'll close that have a listen okay that's quite a bit louder especially on the accent there so that will be fine for me. So we're ready to go ahead and record this piano part. So my click and tempo is set up and I have my track armed for recording because I can see that nice red button highlighted there and I'm ready to start recording. Now I'm going to leave it a barrel so before I actually play anything I always like to leave a little bit of a space at the beginning of a song and I'm going to start recording by hitting either on the record button at the bottom here or I'm going to click on my asterisk key on my computer keyboard which is my preferred method and that's going to start the recording. Now wish me luck because I'm not that good a piano player and I'll see you on the other side. Okay so it's not the best performance ever but it is the best that I could do for the moment and sometimes we have to make do with that but it does leave scope for me to edit things and make it a little bit better so let's get into that. Before we do start editing I'm just going to tidy up my interface a little bit. I don't need the presence window anymore so I'll get rid of that and I don't need the browse panel anymore so I'll get rid of that by clicking on the browse button at the bottom right and then I'm not really doing any more recording so I can disarm this track for recording by clicking on the record button up there on the track and then I'm going to start editing so I'll select the clip that I've just created there and I'm going to start editing by hitting the edit button down the bottom or you could click F2 on the keyboard as well to open up the piano roll window which is what we're going to be editing with. Now there's a couple of things that you can do with this window. You can drag the top of it up to make it bigger which should be quite handy in this case or you can actually detach it. Now right in the top right hand corner of this panel there's an arrow diagonal arrow click on that and that detaches this interface. Now I find this really rather handy if I resize it there I find it handy because I use two monitors normally so I can drag this off onto the other monitor double click on its title bar like so and the whole thing takes up the whole screen it gives me a nice space to work with but I'm working in one screen today for this tutorial so I'll just attach it back down there but it's really handy thing to do. I also do that with the mix window as well just so you know now what we have here on the left hand side is a piano keyboard and that shows us which notes are being played here in the main view so you can actually click on that to hear the notes and then we get the main view itself where we can see the notes. Now you'll notice at the top there's a ruler and the numbers on that ruler show you the number of the bar and then the beat within the bar so we've got bar 2 here at the beginning and then beats 2, 3 and 4 there. Now you're going to notice quite a few vertical lines there in between I would sort of refer to those as the grid lines and they become very very important later for quantizing and snapping which we will get to but do be aware that you can change those grid lines up here with the quantize setting so it's set to 1 16th at the moment meaning the whole bar is divided into 16 parts each beat therefore is divided into 4 so I could change that to say 1 8 the whole bar is divided into 8 each beat is divided into 2 ok so I'll change it back to 1 16th there just so that I think that's where we're going to need it so how do we actually go about editing individual notes. Let's say we've got this note here we click on it it will highlight and if we grab the middle of it we can just drag it around so we can drag it up and down to a different pitch or we can drag it from side to side to a different position ok now you'll notice it is snapping there it's snapping to each line on that grid line there and it's also snapping to the point here where it wasn't it didn't start off quite on the grid line it's just a little bit before and it's staying on there now that's really really handy if you just want to change the pitch of a note without changing its timing it'll snap to that little off beat that it's on there ok so that's how you can change the position and the pitch of the note now if you didn't want it to snap at all you would turn that feature off so you can either toggle it by clicking up here on this icon or you can use N on your keyboard to toggle it off and on and then when it's off you can freely drag that to any timing that you wish ok so pretty easy so far I think you'll agree now if you want to change the start time of the or the start point of the note without changing the rest of the duration of the note or where the note ends I should say you can just grab the beginning so hover over the beginning of the note the icon will change and then you can start to drag the beginning of the note around and you'll notice the end stays in position likewise you can go to the end of the note and you can drag the end of the note around as well now let's say you want to change the duration of a number of notes well let's grab a few that have a different duration so I'm dragging left dragging across with my mouse selecting all of those hovered on that one as well so grab that one and then if I drag the end points of the notes you'll notice they all change to make that easier to see I'm just going to turn the snapping off and you'll see that they change relatively so if they started off short they get shorter relatively if they're long they'll still stay as long notes okay now if you want to make them all the same length exactly then just hold control on the keyboard as you drag and then they'll snap to whatever length the first note that the note that you're actually dragging is going to okay and then you'll have uniform lengths on those notes that's quite handy if you want uniform lengths so apart from changing the pitch of the note and the position the beginning and the end of the note we can also do things like change the velocity of a note so that's all in the bottom part here of this interface and it's a little small at the moment so I'll just hover over the top of that and I'll just drag it up okay and now because velocity is selected on the left hand side over here we can see the velocity of the individual notes so we can go ahead and start to drag those lines around and you'll hear that it plays the note every couple of seconds every second or so just so you can hear how loud it's becoming okay now if you sometimes it's a little difficult to choose an individual note especially when they're clustered together like these ones are here so what we would do in that case is select the note up here that we want to change the velocity of say this one here and then when we drag down here it's only going to change that highlighted note not the ones around it so that's really really handy likewise you can make a selection of notes across this way horizontally so maybe I want to select all those notes there and I want to change the velocity of all of those so I'm going to drag one of them up and down and can you see that they're all changing in velocity but relatively okay now if you want them all to snap to the same velocity hold control on the keyboard and there they are they've snapped to the same velocity so that's another way to get some uniformity if that's what you want so that covers the basics of sort of changing the notes which are already there of course you can go ahead and delete notes if you want you could select a note and just hit delete on the keyboard and that note disappears I'll undo that and if you want to create a new note you can just double click somewhere like so and it creates that note now it's going to create it to the length of the note it's going to be dependent upon the quantized settings you've got up there so if you want to create a bunch of longer notes than that then you would change the quantized settings to say something like one quarter so it's just a whole beat for each note and then when I insert it it's going to be created at that length okay so you can just manually create them in that way so that really covers the basics of editing MIDI there's quite a lot more to it there's some really nice sort of actions and things you get in Studio One for MIDI we'll cover that in a later tutorial but that's all we'll need to know for the basic editing for now except for the fact we want to deal with quantizing. So quantizing is a function where we attempt to get the computer to tidy up the timing of our playing automatically for us so rather than individually edit notes as we were a moment ago we can get the computer to select a whole bunch of notes maybe the whole song and apply quantizing and it will try to correct the timing of those notes for us now it's really simple to apply quantizing if we select something like this clip at the top here we just have to hit Q on the keyboard to apply quantizing but what actually happens depends on the settings that you have set up previously so I'll undo that now there's a couple of places where we can create those settings first of all at the top of the screen in Studio One you'll see a section there where it actually says quantize and at the moment it's set to one sixteenth and there's some related settings next to that also just a little further to the left you'll see a Q button there if you click that it opens up a panel which we have some quantized settings there as well now those all relate to quantizing anything in this tracks view up here so like this whole clip we've just selected but we also have similar or the same quantize settings down in the edit view further down so again we have where it says quantize there we can select make some different selections there and then also off to the left there we have a Q button again where we can open similar settings so the settings that you create are applied in the place where you've created those settings that makes much sense so the ones at the top relate to the things in the edit view the ones down the bottom in the edit view relate to things in the edit view and they can be different settings so for example if at the top I'll just set my quantizing to something different I'll select the clip and I'll click Q and you'll see down the bottom all those notes change bang to some weird positions I'll undo that now if I go down to the bottom it's set to one sixteenths I'll select a whole bunch of notes like so hit Q on my keyboard and you'll see something quite different happen there because there's different settings so what those settings are really about is quite simple if you look at the grid lines you remember earlier we talked about these vertical grid lines I have got my bars divided into sixteen at the moment here so what the computer's going to do is look at the beginning of that note and we're focusing on the beginning you can actually quantize ends as well but we'll look at the beginning of that note and it will say hey where's the nearest bar line and obviously we can see it's that one so when I hit Q it's just going to move that to that bar line and that's the sort of basics of how you set up your quantizing so if you're getting unexpected results when you quantize there's probably two reasons for that one is that you haven't set that setting correctly you haven't got your division set up correctly so that's the one thing to look at and the other thing is if you're playing is really awful with the timing really way off then of course the computer's just going to put it in the wrong place because the computer doesn't really understand music in the same way men you do now if you're more musically inclined if you come from a more music theory background you may find a little bit easier to use the quantize settings here by hitting that Q button so I could change it here to you know say like crotchets there and I could move it to that and that set that up there so if I hit the apply button you'll see that it applies quantizing again there you can see the grids changed as well so if I just shuffle that over to there and apply that quantizing you'll see it was a little closer to that line so it's moved it there so that's a really important function in MIDI now you do want to play around with some of these settings a bit because if you over quantize things then that's when we get that really robotic music which doesn't sound very human and a part like this when it's a piano part you'll notice for example there's some chords here look at this chord here it's a good example and you'll see that not only the notes slightly before the bar which can be a good thing sometimes that for to have things just sort of attacking that beat but they're also in slightly staggered sort of timings because as you hit the piano keyboard you don't necessarily hit them exactly all at the same time and that's a good thing for piano sound you'll notice if you do quantize something like this chord here let's have a listen to it before we quantize it okay now I'll quantize it and it's just a little bit too rigid sound if you do that to the whole piece for something like a piano it can sound a little odd so you want to be a little bit careful play around with some of the things like the range setting here that can help you out with that sort of thing like the swing setting I'll let you fiddle around with that the main thing you need to understand about quantizing at the moment though is your basic grid settings so if you remember earlier we talked about the fact that MIDI has no actual sound but instead we're recording just events and that makes it incredibly flexible because as you can see we've been able to move some of those events around we can affect duration we can affect pitch all that good stuff the other thing that we can do is change the actual sound itself and I'm just going to show you quickly with a little experiment how we could do that here so I'm just going to change over to the mix window here by clicking on mix and on the console all the way over to the left you can see this column I've got there and it's instruments and that shows my presence instrument that I've got there at the moment if you can't see that you'll just need to click on that instrument toggle there right on the left now just for now I'm just going to go in click that little triangle and rename that if you remember that is a piano so let's name it piano just so we can be sure then I'm going to go over to my browse panel I'm going to go into my on the instruments tab I'm going to go to personas go to presence again this time I'm going to select a guitar and then let's go for nylon guitar and we'll go for the nylon guitar full I'm just going to drag that over to that column there ok so what it's done is it's loaded up this guitar instrument ok this time we haven't actually created a new MIDI track up there ok and we'll go ahead and actually rename that one you guessed right I can type guitar and just for fun let's do one more I'm going to go for keyboards let's go for do well it's a full drag it across ok and then I'll rename it there may be an easy way to do this tell me in the description if you know and we'll call it a whirly not even that whirly typing is my strength can't even see if I've got it right still anyway doesn't really matter so let's turn the metronome off quickly and then let's just play that piano part to refresh ourselves ok cool but now we have these other instruments our disposal which I just want to experiment with so up here where we've got the piano as our output for our MIDI I'm just going to change it to guitar let's change it to guitar try again same part but it's now a guitar and then I'll change it to this whirly to organ how's it going to sound actually I don't mind that at all could be in the beginnings of a new song so that shows the incredible flexibility of MIDI so that should get you started with using MIDI in Studio One and I'll be covering it a little bit more in future episodes where we'll drill into some details a little bit now if you've got any questions at all please do ask in the
