Her fragility hangs on every note, and Cyrus has enough of it to sell out entire arenas. She’s always known how to manufacture genuine emotion through her voice with any genre she’s tried her hand at, but she’s never sounded quite this committed. A student of music her whole life, she knows the emotion lies in the vocals of a big song like this. On lovelorn ballads like “Angels Like You,” Cyrus channels the great goddesses of rock’s past like she was there to see them live. ![]() Cyrus’ natural rasp hits full grit on Plastic Hearts, her vocals like a gravel road threatening to betray the beaten-down wheels of old Cadillac vying to win its last drag race. I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life but this album makes me want to run out and buy a pack. So it’s both a relief and no surprise at all to hit play on her latest effort, Plastic Hearts, and quickly realize that this may be the sound Miley Cyrus was born to create.Īt times, it feels like each new song has enough personality to outshine the last. She’s flirted with the genre before many times, but she’s never committed an entire album to the walloping studio guitars, riotous drums, and exasperatedly-emotive writing styles true to classic and post-classic modern rock. She made her thesis statement clear in a long-forgotten album cut from her first post- Hannah, grown-up album: “I’m not your robot.”Īfter Disney, pop, trap, hip-hop, lo-fi stoner electro, country/folk, and the amalgamation of it all that was 2019’s SHE IS COMING, we’ve now arrived at Miley the rockstar. She has always seemed completely content with doing exactly what she wants to do at the moment, opinions of others be damned. Cyrus’ commitment to her craft and aesthetics through the years has never come off as disingenuous, a grab for radio play, or a plea for relevance. ![]() And yet? Her every musical iteration still feels uniquely her. Though she’s experienced peaks and valleys like any other musician, she seems almost more adept than others at weaving through the stages in a way that seems effortless. The spotlight that was thrust upon her as a child star has never dimmed as the years passed, thanks mostly to both her natural-born talent and endless charisma that allows her every transformation to feel completely genuine. ![]() Miley Cyrus is an industry force of nature.

There was to be no repetition of the events of the summer of 1789. After receiving the reports of Martinez’s actions at Nootka Sound the viceroy sent more directives for the expedition. The viceroy instructed to Eliza to secure the Nootka Sound site, and once that was accomplished, to send expeditions to survey and chart the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and north toward Cook Inlet. It was also decided to send Martinez as second-in-command of the expedition. Bodega assigned Salvador Fidalgo in the San Carlos and Ensign Manuel Quimper in the Princesa Real (formerly the Princess Royal, seized by Martínez in 1789), to accompany Eliza. Revillagigedo did not alter the substance of his instructions to Bodega for the planned expedition, except to remark that “this news make even more urgent the early departure of the three ships.” īodega ordered Lieutenant Francisco de Eliza y Reventa to command an expedition, in the 300-ton frigate Concepcion, to reoccupy Nootka Sound and fortify the settlement at Friendly Cove (Santa Cruz de Nuca) before any other country arrived. While plans for an expedition were being made, Martinez arrived at San Blas on December 6 (the Santa Gertrudis under Jose Verdia, arrived shortly afterward), and the news of the abandoning of Nootka Sound became known. Bodega was instructed to use each vessel to survey the coast and islands between Nootka South and north to Prince William Sound, in part to determine whether a Northwest Passage existed. ![]() The viceroy also reminded Bodega that he had the 205-ton stores ship Aranzazu, and the San Carlos at his disposal. It was left to Bodega to select the commanders. Revillagigedo ordered the Concepcion, Princesea Real, and Argonaut to sail from San Blas in January without fail, well equipped, crewed, and armed for war with cannon and munitions. In early December, he initiated a stream of orders and detailed instructions to Bodega, advising him that the king desired the Nootka Sound establishment sustained and for this purpose had selected him and his companions to accomplish this under the viceroy’s orders. The new viceroy found himself with two matters arising from Martinez’s actions: the release of Colnett along with his men and his ships and the Royal Order of April 14, 1789, to maintain the Nootka Sound establishment with “honour and firmness.” With respect to Nootka Sound, and still unaware that Martinez had actually left Nootka Sound, Revillagigedo proposed to resupply it using the two captured English ships. He said nothing about his order to Martinez to abandon Nootka Sound and return to San Blas.įlores and Revillagigedo finally met in Mexico City, and Revillagigedo assumed control on October 17. Flores wrote Revillagigedo on August 27, that the Princes Royal, commanded by Jose Maria Narváez, had arrived in San Blas. Flores responded that the Argonaut would be made ready to sail and that the First Free Company of the Catalonian Volunteers stationed in Guadalajara had been told to prepare to move to San Blas for onward transportation to Nootka Sound. Revillagigedo replied that nothing further should be done until instructions were received from Madrid. He urged the new viceroy to relieve him as quickly as possible, not wanting to get involved in the problem. Flores added that those ships had sailed from Macao to take possession of Nootka Sound for the king of England, and noted that the two ships and their crews were on their way to San Blas. Shortly after arriving, Revillagigedo received a letter from former viceroy Flores informing him that Martinez at Nootka Sound had seized two English ships, the Argonaut and the Princess Royal. Revillagigedo, Bodega, and his companions reached Veracruz on August 8, 1789. They sailed to New Spain, with a new viceroy, Juan Vicente de Guemes Pacheco de Padilla Horcasitas y Aguayo, Conde de Revillagigedo, accompanying them. He chose Manuel Quimper, Ramón Saavedra Guiráldez y Ordóñez, Francisco de Eliza, Salvador Fidalgo y Lopegarcía, Jacinto Caamaño Moraleja, and Salvador Menéndez Valdés. The next month the king instructed him to select six junior officers to serve under his orders.

![]() In fact, every month, Adobe released an update to Premiere Pro. It must be noted that the product guys of Premiere Pro have been busting their asses in order to sharpen the software. Yes, I know it sounds strange- The super buggy program was recently utilized by high-end productions. Most of those films were edited on Avid Media Composer, and furthermore, even Premiere Pro has managed to penetrate into the post-production phase of these films. ![]() If we take the Oscars 2023 for example, then we can reveal that there’s almost not even one film that was edited on FCP. Moreover, no update has been released yet this year. There was a solid jump in 2018, but since then we can definitely notice a reduction. If we analyze the amount of FCP updates released by Apple, we can see a significant reduction in the last few years. Final Cut Pro – Software updates per year (from 2017). However, FCP has no grip on those professional editing suites, and it seems that Apple is doing zero effort to establish this or to convince professional editors to use FCP in high-end productions. Thus, it’s heavy software with a lot of confidence. Hence, this complicated software has a solid base and thick roots in the post-production houses. Avid Media Composer is very trustable among veteran top-notch editors. Explore the graph titled ‘Major NLEs software updates in 2022’ to reveal that FCP and Avid are barely updating their NLE. On the contrary, Blackmagic Design and Adobe are constantly updating their NLE (DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro) almost every month on the clock. For instance, explore the graph below that shows FCP updates per year (2017-2023). ![]() ![]() Why? And the more important question: Does Apple care? Apple FCPX 10.5: Accelerated machine learning analysis for Smart Conform Nevertheless, professionals choose to edit on the ‘others’. However, in the Apple Silicon ecosystem, FCP is blazing fast. Obviously, you need the OS platform in order to make it run. I mean -it’s the fastest NLE around (more than Premiere Pro, Resolve, and Avid). The keywords are ‘Speed’, and ‘Performance’. That’s how Apple defines FCP: “Final Cut Pro combines revolutionary video editing with a powerful media organization and incredible performance to let you create at the speed of thought”. Is it intentional? Well, by reading Apple’s definition of FCP, it might. Since Apple made the ‘jump’ from 7 to 10 (FCP 7 to FCP X), its NLE consensus is linearly fading. Final Cut Pro (FCP) had a glowing future back then, in the days of version 7. What is happening to one of Apple’s most sophisticated and professional apps - Final Cut Pro? This desktop app has been one of Apple’s Pro App flagships. Picture: Apple Final Cut Pro: Not ‘Pro’ anymore Hence, Apple’s Final Cut Pro has reached its glass ceiling. On the other side of the NLE map, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve are deep into the race, as FCP remains on the starting line. Since the beginning of the year, Apple has not released any update of FCP (Final Cut Pro). It seems that Apple has removed its Pro App flagship from the ‘Professional’ tag. ![]() Connecting with children directly will be key."ĭigital writing innovations may have rewritten the rules of the writing instruments industry, but the humble pencil might survive these too - just as it has survived the fountain pen and the ballpoint.ĭon’t miss out on ET Prime stories!
