Temporary Files. Temporary files are used by applications to facilitate a number of functions, but are primarily used to swap information from RAM to the hard disk and vice versa. Often when applications crash, these files are left in the Temp folder and must be removed manually. To delete temporary files, do the following:. NOTE: Certain files may not delete if applications which access those specific temporary files are open. If this occurs, simply reboot the computer and repeat the steps listed above, ensuring that all programs are closed.

Default Printer. CorelDRAW, when launched will poll the Windows default printer for information specific to the device. It will seek information pertaining to the printers capabilities, such as color capabilities, printable area, duplexing options and others. If a communication problem exists between the printer and the application, a failure to create a new document, or open an existing file may occur. This is particularly true with laptops removed from the network which use a network printer as the Windows default.

Other problems may occur which result in random errors or reduced performance if there is a problem with the default printer. To determine if the printer is at fault, install a generic PostScript printer driver and set it as the Windows default printer a color Apple LaserWriter will suffice. Once installed, check to see if the problems persist. For information on how to install a printer in Windows or XP, please consult the Windows help files.

Virtual Memory is used by Windows to swap information from RAM to the hard disk in order to free memory for use by applications when physical RAM is low. A paging file is used to accomplish this task. By default, Windows manages the paging file size and sets it to 1. This can be increased in cases where CorelDRAW appears to slow as a result of graphic and object intensive documents.

When setting the paging size, the max size should never exceed 3 times that amount of physical RAM installed on the computer.

To increase Virtual Memory settings, please consult the Windows help files. Furthermore, Visual Effects require resources in order to function correctly, which may have an adverse effect on applications installed on the system. Disable Themes and Visual Effects to determine if the problems persist. Their shapes may be conical, cylindrical, barrel, hour-glass, globular, or kettle, and are played with sticks, hands, or a combination of both.

African drums are usually carved from a single wooden log, and may also be made from ceramics, gourds, tin cans, and oil drums. Examples of these are found in the different localities — entenga Ganda , dundun Yoruba , atumpan Akan , and ngoma Shona , while some are constructed with wooden staves and hoops.

Body percussion – Africans frequently use their bodies as musical instruments. Aside from their voices, where many of them are superb singers, the body also serves as a drum as people clap their hands, slap their thighs, pound their upper arms or chests, or shuffle their feet.

This body percussion creates exciting rhythms which also stir them to action. Moreover, the wearing of rattles or bells on their wrists, ankles, arms, and waists enhances their emotional response.

Talking drum – The talking drum is used to send messages to announce births, deaths, marriages, sporting events, dances, initiation, or war. Sometimes it may also contain gossip or jokes.

However, learning to play messages on drums is extremely difficult, resulting in its waning popularity. An example of the talking drum is the luna.

Luna 47 All rights reserved. Lamellaphone One of the most popular African percussion instruments is the lamellaphone, which is a set of plucked tongues or keys mounted on a sound board. It is known by different names according to the regions such as mbira, karimba, kisaanj, and likembe.

Mbira hand piano or thumb piano – The thumb piano or finger xylophone is of African origin and is used throughout the continent. It consists of a wooden board with attached staggered metal tines a series of wooden, metal, or rattan tongues , plus an additional resonator to increase its volume. It is played by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with the thumbs, producing a soft plucked sound.

Chordophones Chordophones are instruments which produce sounds from the vibration of strings. These include bows, harps, lutes, zithers, and lyres of various sizes.

Musical bow – The musical bow is the ancestor of all string instruments. It is the oldest and one of the most widely-used string instruments of Africa. It consists of a single string attached to each end of a curved stick, similar to a bow and arrow. The string is either plucked or struck with another stick, producing a per-cussive yet delicate sound.

The earth bow, the mouth bow, and the resonator-bow are the principal types of musical bows. The earth bow, ground bow, or pit harp consist of a hole in the ground, a piece of flexible wood and a piece of chord.

The musician plucks the taut string to accompany his singing. When the half gourd is not buried, the performer holds the instrument very tightly under his knee flat side down, so that the chord puts enough tension on the wood to bend it into the shape of a hunting bow. Afro-Latin American and Popular Music A more advanced form of ground bow is made from a log, half a gourd, a flat piece of wood, and cord.

The wooden strip is driven firmly into one end of the log and the half gourd is fastened to the log about 2 feet away from the wooden strip. The cord, fastened from the wooden strip to the gourd, is stretched so tightly into the shape of a bow. The player holds the instrument on the ground by placing one leg across the log between the resonating gourd and the wooden strip. Lute konting, khalam, and the nkoni – The lute, originating from the Arabic states, is shaped like the modern guitar and played in similar fashion.

It is from Sub-Saharan Africa. It is also known by the names tzetze and dzendze, izeze and endingidi; and on Madagascar is called lokanga or lokango voatavo. Aerophones Aerophones are instruments which are produced initially by trapped vibrating air columns or which enclose a body of vibrating air.

Flutes in various sizes and shapes, horns, panpipes, whistle types, gourd and shell megaphones, oboe, clarinet, animal horn and wooden trumpets fall under this category. Flutes – Flutes are widely used throughout Africa and either vertical or side-blown.

They are usually fashioned from a single tube closed at one end and blown like a bottle. Atenteben Ghana Fulani Flutes Panpipes consist of cane pipes of different lengths tied in a row or in a bundle held together by wax or cord, and generally closed at the bottom. They are blown across the top, each providing a different note. Horns – Horns and trumpets, found almost everywhere in Africa, are commonly made from elephant tusks and animal horns.

With their varied attractive shapes, these instruments are end-blown or side-blown and range in size from the small signal whistle of the southern cattle herders to the large ivory horns of the tribal chiefs of the interior.

It releases a mellow and warm sound that adds a unique African accent to the music. This instrument, which comes in a set of six horns, reflects the cross of musical traditions in Africa.

Today, the kudu horn can also be seen in football matches, where fans blow it to cheer for their favourite teams. Reed pipes – There are single-reed pipes made from hollow guinea corn or sorghum stems, where the reed is a flap partially cut from the stem near one end.

It is the vibration of this reed that causes the air within the hollow instrument to vibrate, thus creating the sound. There are also cone-shaped double-reed instruments similar to the oboe or shawm. The most well-known is the rhaita or ghaita, an oboe-like double reed instrument from northwest Africa.

It is one of the primary instruments used by traditional music ensembles from Morocco. The rhaita was even featured in the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, specifically in the Mordor theme. Whistles – Whistles found throughout the continent may be made of wood or other materials.

Short pieces of horn serve as whistles, often with a short tube inserted into the mouthpiece. Clay can be molded into whistles of many shapes and forms and then baked. Pottery whistles are sometimes shaped in the form of a head, similar to the Aztec whistles of Central America and Mexico.

African whistle 5. Trumpets – African trumpets are made of wood, metal, animal horns, elephant tusks, and gourds with skins from snakes, zebras, leopards, crocodiles and animal hide as ornaments to the instrument.

They are mostly ceremonial in nature, often used to announce the arrival or departure of important guests. In religion and witchcraft, some tribes believe in the magical powers of trumpets to frighten away evil spirits, cure diseases, and protect warriors and hunters from harm.

These are mainly used to provide rhythmic sounds, which are the most defining element of African music. Africans make musical instruments from the materials in the environment, like forest areas from where they make large wooden drums. Drums may also be made of clay, metal, tortoise shells, or gourds. Xylophones are made of lumber or bamboo, while flutes can be constructed wherever reeds or bamboo grow. Animal horns are used as trumpets while animal hides, lizard skins, and snake skins can function as decorations as well as provide the membranes for drum heads.

Laces made of hides and skins are used for the strings of harps, fiddles, and lutes. On the other hand, bamboo was used to form the tongues of thumb pianos, the frames of stringed instruments, and stamping tubes.

Strips of bamboo are even clashed together rhythmically. Gourds, seeds, stones, shells, palm leaves, and the hard-shelled fruit of the calabash tree are made into rattles. Ancient Africans even made musical instruments from human skulls decorated with human hair while singers use their body movements to accompany their singing.

Modern Africans make use of recycled waste materials such as strips of roofing metal, empty oil drums, and tin cans. These people, bursting with rhythm, make music with everything and anything. At present, new materials that are more easily accessible, such as soda cans and bottles, are becoming increasingly important for the construction of percussion instruments.

Some rhythmic instruments like scrapers, bells, and rattles also provide the pitch and timbre when played in an ensemble to provide contrasts in tone quality and character. What are the classifications of African music? What are the characteristics of each classification of African music? Name some African musical instruments under the following categories: a.

Describe how African musical instruments are sourced from the environment. Give examples. Sometimes called Latin music, it includes the countries that have had a colonial history from Spain and Portugal, divided into the following areas: a.

Generally, quenas only are played during the dry season. Materials came from hollow tree trunks, animal skins, fruit shells, dry seeds, cane and Quena clay, hardwood trees, jaguar claws, animal and human bones, and specially-treated inflated eyes of tigers. The use of instruments as well as singing and dancing served to implore the gods for good harvest, victory in battles, guard against sickness and natural disasters, and of course provide recreation.

Short musical motives from descending melodic lines were a common feature, where tempo, rhythm, and tone colors vary with the specific occasion or ritual. Many dance forms were repetitious, while songs had a wide range of volume levels.

Many songs celebrate themes like harvest, planting season or other important times of year. Afro-Latin American Music The African influence on Latin American music is most pronounced in its rich and varied rhythmic patterns produced by the drums and various percussion instruments. Complex layering of rhythmic patterns was a favorite device, where 54 All rights reserved. Afro-Latin American and Popular Music fast paced tempos add to the rhythmic density. Vocal music was often deep- chested while instrumental music greatly relied on resonant drums and sympathetic buzzers to produce rich sounds and occasional loud volume levels to reflect their intensity.

Melodies of the Renaissance period were used in Southern Chile and the Colombian Pacific coasts, while step-wise melodies were preferred in the heavily Hispanic and Moorish-influenced areas of Venezuela and Colombia. Other European influences were manifested in the texture of Euro-Latin American music, from unaccompanied vocal solos to those accompanied by stringed instruments.

Mixed American Music The diversity of races and cultures from the Native Americans, Afro-Latin Americans, and Euro-Latin Americans account for the rich combinations of musical elements including the melodic patterns, harmonic combinations, rhythmic complexities, wide range of colors and dynamics, and various structural formats.

This musical fusion of Latin America combining native instruments with European counterparts and musical theories was further enriched by the instruments brought by the African slaves.

The result of the massive infusion of African culture also brought about the introduction of other music and dance forms such as the Afro- Cuban rumba, Jamaican reggae, Colombian cumbia, and the Brazilian samba.

Popular Latin American Music Latin America has produced a number of musical genres and forms that had been influenced by European folk music, African traditional music, and native sources.

Its style contains elements from the swing dance and hustle as well as the complex Afro-Cuban and Afro-Carribean dance forms of pachanga and guaguanco. The execution of the salsa involves shifting the weight by stepping sideways, causing the hips to move while the upper body remains level.

The arms and shoulders are also incorporated with the upper body position. In each, a moderate tempo is used while the upper and lower bodies act in seeming disjoint as described above. As with the African continent, their rich history dating back thousands of years ago with the Aztec, Maya, and other prehistoric cultural groups in Latin America understandably generates their own brands of creativity in making music. In Central America, the ancient civilizations of the Aztec and Maya peoples used various instruments mainly for religious functions and usually by professional musicians.

As some instruments were considered holy and it was further believed that music was supposed to glorify the gods, mistakes in playing these instruments were considered offensive and insulting to them.

Lightworks is advanced enough that the Pro version has been used to create multiple award-winning movies including the likes of Pulp Fiction and The Wolf of Wall Street, but the free version is only marginally less full-featured.

There\’s a wide range of tools to create professional-looking videos, including some fairly advanced audio-editing options, VFX, color adjustments and more. And while the interface may take a little getting used to, even a beginner can master the essentials relatively easily. It also works on almost every platform, with versions for Windows, Mac and Linux. In fact, Lightworks Free has been made simpler in the version — some advanced features have been removed but a bunch of user-friendly options have been added, including 80 new transitions.

A recent update to The main drawback is that with the free version, output options max out at p — but depending on what you\’re planning to upload your film to, that may not matter. Read our full Lightworks review. Recent updates tweaked the interface and added Touch Bar support for the latest Macs, plus it now lets users edit and adjust focus in videos shot with the iPhone 13 range\’s new Cinematic Mode. It\’s also now been optimized for the latest Apple Silicon, so it\’ll have improved performance when used on the new MacBook Pro 14 or inch models and the M1 Pro or M1 Max chips.

While you can now edit and share 4K videos, iMovie lacks features found in other free apps, such as the ability to edit degree video, multicam editing and motion tracking. You also have limited control over output settings. Because it\’s so deeply entwined with macOS, iMovie was always one of the fastest apps when it came to encoding video. Once that\’s finished, it also gives you plenty of sharing options: you can upload directly to YouTube and Vimeo, and share any video frame as an image.

This free video editor makes it a cinch to export your creations to YouTube, Facebook, Dropbox, Flickr, Google Drive and an assortment of mobile devices through a simple pull-down menu. You have to sign in to these services first — and while YouTube uploaded directly to my channel without incident, you may have to save your video to your hard drive with social media specs, then upload to the social network yourself.

Compared to HitFilm\’s high-energy interface, VideoPad has a simple, soothing look which makes it the best free video editing software for novices. It works with both Macs and PCs and still lets you edit degree video with the same ease as you would traditional movies, though adding text to degree clips can be a bit tricky.

VideoPad also lacks some of the advanced features you\’ll find with HitFilm, for instance multicam editing, high-end special effects and motion tracking — but you can purchase a number of add-ons to expand VideoPad\’s feature set.

Our biggest issue with VideoPad was not knowing which features were disabled in the free version versus the trial and paid versions. We found VideoPad to be a bit slower on our transcoding tests than Hitfilm, too. But that may not matter for those looking for an app that they can use to quickly and easily edit video and then upload to the social media outlet of their choice.

A new version, DaVinci 18, is now out and we will be testing it soon. It includes new cloud-based workflows for easy collaboration, and also enables up to 30x faster playback on Apple Mac M1 models.

Previous versions also included such features as facial recognition, fast export to YouTube and Vimeo, and 3D audio; there\’s a lot to explore here. DaVinci Resolve also incorporates Fusion, previously a stand-alone application, which brings with it four high-end video-production modules for editing, color correction, audio production, and video effects and motion graphics.

Read our DaVinci Resolve 17 review. VSDC has a hybrid layout that incorporates controls for both creating and editing video projects, along with links to instructional videos, which are a big help when navigating through its interface.

VSDC is a non-linear editor, which gives you some more flexibility when editing, but that means it has a bigger learning curve than more traditional video editing software.

VSDC is not bad for basic edits, but its interface has a learning curve, and it lacks a few popular features. VSDC is also a Windows-only program.

Online technical drafting software such as SmartDraw are aimed at those with minimal CAD experience and provide plenty of templates and automated functions to do the hard work for you. If you need CAD software for a specific industry, such as Architecture, then you need software designed specifically for the needs of 3D Architecture and all the components that go into buildings.

Again, this depends on what you want to use it for. If you only need to work in the Y and X axis i. Basically, anyone that needs to manipulate a design from every possible angle. BIM models are more intelligent than traditional CAD plans because they contain much more information.

In the long run, BIM can help cut down on the amount of errors or reworking that needs to be done to your CAD designs. We have focused here mainly on CAD software, although we have also featured some 3D design or animation software because the line can be often blurred. The difference between the two types of software is subtle but the key difference is that CAD software is specifically for the needs of professional and industrial designers, with all the technical specs and needs they have.

In a nutshell, 3D design software is generally aimed at the more creative side of design — for example animation — whereas CAD programs focus on technical plans and designs. Make sure that the CAD app you choose offers extensive help, training and after sale support. The most reputable CAD software developers offer free customer support but some charge extra for it so check before buying.

SmartDraw is easily the best CAD drawing tool for beginners on Mac making it easy to create everything from blueprints and floor plans to kitchen designs in minutes.

A good example of the way the industry is moving is Onshape which was started by some members of the team behind the popular SolidWorks 3D CAD design software for Windows.

Onshape meanwhile claims to offer the functionality of Solidworks but in any web browser, running on any platform. Onshape is the first serious attempt at a web-based 3D CAD software that enables teams to work on designs as the same time in real-time. You can even use Onshape on your iPad or iPhone. By current market standards, Onshape is priced quite competitively too.

In addition to developments such as Onshape, there are also signs that Apple is increasingly willing to move closer towards enterprise apps like CAD software such as the deal it reached with IBM. This means Apple is likely to put more effort in supporting business oriented CAD software on Mac in future when it comes to components and software support.

I checked out most of the applications that you listed at least those that allowed a basic test of the application before purchase and everyone failed dramatically in doing basic drawing such as a simple table with dimensions. Heck, even a basic table without dimensions was beyond most of these applications.

Good luck with that. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed. Subscribe to MacHow2! Sign up to get reviews, tutorials and special offers on Mac software!
