The Day After Tomorrow Bg Audio
Christain Cobb
Slight Glimpses of Tomorrow was the first story of the audio anthology The Diary of River Song: Series Eight. It was written by James Goss and featured Alex Kingston as River Song and Salome Haertel as Rachel Burrows.
Rachel asks River why they are doing this, and River answers that she thinks Rachel should learn about eternity, because Rachel lives forever. Rachel seems fairly used to living alone forever, having done so after everyone she knew grew old and died. She had wondered whether River would come back for her, and River notes that she would, as Rachel is her responsibility. She is going to teach Rachel how to live in the time she has, instead of letting it pass. To that end, she is showing Rachel the history of a planet.
Soldiers are coming to the pyramid, with Dubontis, who is angry with Lady Armis for upsetting the gods by staring at them. After Armis refuses to come down, the soldiers come up to retrieve Armis. River and Rachel leave before they can do so.
They go to a party in the floating City of Jade, at the other side of the world. Rachel likes it there and wants to stay, for which River notes they will need some friends, for which they go shopping.
Rachel shares a cell with a slightly deranged man, who is making a star map. He seems surprised Rachel figures out that he is making a star map, and the man notes people reproduce the star map over and over again, even though very few recognize it. The knowledge of star maps is not taught in the current civilisation. Those who know must spread the pattern, the man says, and Rachel notes that that is dangerous, which the man does not deny. Still, the pattern must be spread. The pattern is lost, the man says, even though Rachel can see them. His eyes have dimmed and he cannot see the stars clearly anymore. He wants to bring the stars close again. He notes that the original creator of the map must have had a device to see the stars far more clearly than he ever could, for she saw more stars than he ever did. He sadly notes he sees fewer stars every day.
River defeats her torturer and escapes her cell, staging a mass prison break. Afterwards, she finds Rachel and notices the star charts on the wall. Rachel notes her cell mate made them, but that the guards came for him a few minutes ago. She notes River just missed him, as a shot rings out on the background.
The two escape the prison. River lectures Rachel on why the prison camp exists, which comes down to power and discrimination. Rachel beseeches River to stop the practice, but River says they cannot interfere. Rachel questions whether it can get any worse, and River proposes to find out.
Rachel brings tea to a botanist trying to find the right place to grow medicinal herbs, Bandolian. He lectures Rachel on medicinal herbs and complains about the attitude of the others on the island, who believe themselves perfect because they have survived plague and war. They think they are strong and mistakenly conclude they are invulnerable because of that.
Bandolian asks after his daughter, Alstra, the prime minister. She is held up by a meeting discussing power stations. Bandolian complains about power stations, getting into a rant about the power stations polluting the world, trailing off into a sad comment about how it makes the soil acidic.
Darion holds a speech at a rally. The land is dying, and Alstra, as prime minister, has made a statement that this is caused by the inhabitants themselves. Darion rejects this, telling the crowd they are under attack, being poisoned by the neighboring countries, who vie jealously for the way of life of this prosperous island nation. He undermines the government, noting the kind of government needed now is not one that appeases, but one that fights.
Rachel notes Bandolian wants to study the medicinal properties of the plant. She notes and hopes that Bandolian will be enough to save the world, even though, as River notes, his children squabble about the world while destroying it.
50 years later, Rachel asks River whether it is the end. River says endings are new beginnings, and life has spread out from the ruins of the island. They see a band of raiders fight, and the winner holds up a bit of glass. The winner uses the glass as a weapon to fight more.
The pyramid is still there, and the pair reminisce about Lady Armis. Rachel says she cannot do this anymore and tells River she is not like her. Rachel cannot be this aloof and walk through time as River does.
Back in the time of the island nation, Rachel speaks to the parliament, showing them a map of the stars. The parliament is not amused by this distraction and ridicules Rachel. Rachel predicts that the missiles do not work, and Darion demands an explanation. Rachel tells them that they do not know enough about science, like how they do not know the world is round. She continues to tell them about space while the parliament does not believe her.
She then goes to the torturer and tries to get him to not shoot the artist that was her cellmate earlier. The torturer is not interested, at first, before he surprisingly relents and lets Rachel talk to the artist. He then has Rachel arrested to have her shot next to the artist.
They go back to Lady Armis, who has seen her husband coming for them. River asks Armis what she would give as advice to her younger self. They discuss it a bit and Armis settles on advising her younger self to build the pyramid somewhere else.
Lady Armis builds her pyramid on a mountain near the nearby port city of Sinearchti. Rachel and River visit the finished product: a school in a pyramid on the mountain. It is very successful. This way, Armis spreads her knowledge and telescopes far and wide.
I was looking for a way to integrate my EZ Drummer 2 desktop app as an input source to OBS without going through a DAW. When I recently upgraded I had not looked at adding additional Scene Sources, so this was the first I noticed a very hand feature being Beta tested.
When you add the source, it presents a list of active applications and you simply select the one you want. Then go to Advanced Audio setting and make sure monitoring is set to Monitor and Output, as you would do for other audio input sources,
So after spending a while messing around and recording various EZD2 samples to ensure the output was captured alongside my ASIO Input Capture source, I thought this could be handy for recording or OMs and just as easy to add a backing track via desktop media player.
To double check the process, I have just added another Application Audio Capture source and added Groove Music and slapped on a little Yesterday as proof of concept. And voila a very simple way to add a backing track.
Not sure what is going on but further exploration is required.
Throughout the week I have been practicing and recording the song for the next Open Mic, as I described in the first post, so to recap ;
Guitar and Vocals captured on condenser mic into AI and collected in OBS as an ASIO Input Capture. Backing drum track played on EZDrummer2 with audio collected in OBS with the aforementioned Application Capture Source.
ASIO is (as I understand it) about hardware drivers for physical audio devices. ASIO deals with things like sample rate selection on the audio device, USB packetisation and buffering and latency reporting. And it then presents a simple, standard interface to audio programs.
The Windows audio stack is designed for general audio use and is necessarily quite complex. It has to support multiple applications using a single audio device at the same time, so you have loads of buffering, routing and software mixing and sample-rate conversion going on to try to make it as simple and easy for users as possible.
I would look at whether it is possible, within your setup, to monitor at the output of OBS after all the mixing has been done. The potential problems then, of course, is you could end up with a substantial delay between what you play and what you hear.
Like I say more investigation required but will do that with a simple 4 beat snare or kick sample and play single notes over it. Confirm OBS is synced, confirm latency in Zoom and see what impact any adjustment make.
So far, my code only does the first part (detect noise and record audio). Now, I have a list with the following words: help, please, yes, no, could, you, after, tomorrow. I need an offline way to detect if my sound contains these words. Is this possible? How can I do that? I'm using linux and there is no way to change my operational system to windows or use virtual machine.
