![]() ![]() It's debatable how much of a standard it is. How hard would that be for them to implement? Sheesh!AXML is the EBU/MPG attempt at creating a standard: ISRC code embedding in both ID3v2 and AXML chunk. What I'm gathering is that there's no tagger app that does everything I need. How hard would that be for them to implement? Sheesh! What I'm gathering is that in 2021 there's no tagger app that does everything I need. See attached, and I had to remove some info for privacy but Meta will display and add ISRC codes.but as mentioned, there are two main places that people downstream (and their apps) look for ISRC codes.ID3v2 and AXML. doing it in my mastering DAW where the info is easy to add and goes everywhere. Plus, who knows what the future brings so I prefer to future-proof all outgoing master files with any and all data that I have, which is why doing it with a 3rd party app is out of the question for me due to the extra time vs. I prefer tagging all the files because then I can say it's done, and it comes it handy for clients if they use the reference mp3s for download codes, personal or promo use, and even the metadata in the WAVs comes in handy when the files are downloaded from Bandcamp.Īnother good use case is music licensing.imagine you're a music supervisor and you are choosing between two songs.one has good metadata and one has none and there is a deadline approaching.I'm going with the song that has metadata so I can easily track down who and what it is. The need for metadata in files is debatable, especially if you only narrowly think about indie artists who submit to CD Baby/DistroKid/TuneCore because it's true that the metadata doesn't get read, and most major labels have in-house people that handle it.in fact most major labels have even stopped asking for DDPs and do it ALL in house which I don't love but it is what it is. I know for a fact that WaveLab easily puts the ISRC in both spots when you render WAVs/mp3s from the montage, and I believe HOFA and Sonoris do it now too but I don't use those daily like I do WaveLab Pro.Ĭonsumer tagging apps probably only do the ID3v2 field. Last I checked, Meta only does the ID3v2 field which might be fine for most cases, but not all and that's probably true for the majority of consumer tagging apps. You probably want to be sure that whatever app you are using is putting it in both places in case whatever app is being used downstream to read the metadata is only reading one or the other. Does that program embed ISRCs? What am I missing? Both Meta and Metadatics pages don't mention ISRC codes - how can this be?See attached, and I had to remove some info for privacy but Meta will display and add ISRC codes.but as mentioned, there are two main places that people downstream (and their apps) look for ISRC codes.ID3v2 and AXML. That website doesn't contain the words "ISRC" or "Code". A few requests for MP3s and 24 bit WAV each year. ![]() 16-44 WAVs for approval and then whatever formats they request. I don't foresee a lot of file tagging in my near future so a standalone tagger should do the trick!Īlso, I don't by default deliver nearly as many different formats as some MEs do. That would slow me down way too much at first. I'm so dug in with PT that, even though I'm full time mastering now, the idea of learning a new DAW has zero appeal to me. I was doing both recording and mastering for most of my career and I started with Digidesign Sound Designer 2 in 1993 and PT in 1994 when it was just a 4 track 16 bit DAW. I use Pro Tools because that's how my business evolved. It's a little embarrassing to be asking about it this late in the game, but here I am! This new client has a publicist who wants tagged WAVs and MP3s so I'm finally going to do it. ![]() There have been no complaints, most clients are repeaters and business has been great. Even major labels have not asked me for tagged tracks, just CD Text. Unless you master about 3 albums a month, I can't imagine wanting to do the tagging in a 3rd party app for all the files/formats for every project.Īssembling the the master in a mastering DAW that can essentially tag the rendered/exported files with the info it already has inside the DAW for any and all files saves times, and promotes accuracy and consistency.To be totally honest, and this may sound crazy, in 26 years of mastering this is the first time I'm tagging files! All my clients have been letting their aggregators and distributors handle the metadata. ![]()

The sheer amount of units and systems at play is staggering and will take a lot of time to get through. Players will take command of either the Wehrmacht or the Red Army fighting to take specific territorial objectives and earn victory points. The Eastern Front is a perfect setting to explore some of WW2’s largest campaigns due to vast distances and huge numbers of troops. Unlike the previous entry, War in the East 2 is more of an operational scale game, where the larger scale political and diplomatic decisions take a backseat, while combat, logistics, and unit maneuvering are center stage. Yet another hex-and-counter wargame, Gary Grigsby’s War in the East 2 focuses the action on the Eastern Front. Gary Grigsby’s War in the East 2 Gary Grigsby’s War in the East 2 Strategic Command stands out as a grand strategy game as it simplifies and streamlines some of the genre’s more intimidating elements, making it a good starting point to dip your toe into the world of monster simulation wargames.ġ5. Players will have to take command of either the Allies or Axis and defeat their opponents utilizing their countries’ economies, resources, and available armed forces. This game can definitely be considered as the turn-based hex-and-counter counterpart to Hearts of Iron 4 as both games tackle the grand strategic scale of WWII operations. ![]() Strategic Command WWII: World at War is one such title. However, once understood and mastered, these “monster wargames” are some of the most engrossing games out there. The next several games can also be grouped into the simulation category along with Atlantic Fleet, accurately representing history but suffering from player accessibility issues, hence why they are lower on the list. Strategic Command WWII: World at War Strategic Command WWII World at War Since this game’s success we’re yet to see a naval warfare game repeat such success.ġ6. Despite this, the gameplay systems are quite complex and faithful to history. The game also includes effective line of sight, spotting, and gunnery systems to reflect the realistic ranges at which ships fought.Ītlantic Fleet certainly falls more into the category of a simulator than an action-packed romp and as such has a high learning curve and clunky UI. Ships are beautifully modeled and suffer realistic damage to subsystems, giving players accurate at-a-glance feedback as to the state of their forces. Atlantic Fleet is a highly accurate representation of strategic and naval combat in the Atlantic as Germany’s Kriegsmarine attempted to cut off the British Isles from supply. ![]() Starting off the list is the only naval warfare-focused game from Killerfish Games. ![]() ![]() Personal services include wages, salaries and benefits for employees.Basic definitionsĪll department expenses for Kansas City, Missouri, Jackson County, Johnson County and the Wyandotte County Unified Government break down into five categories using similar terminology: personal services, contractual services, capital outlay, debt service and commodities. The introductory letter for Johnson County’s budget highlights seven new positions in the sheriff’s office and concerns with inflation in construction costs. The Wyandotte County Unified Government and Johnson County Commission have introductory letters – much like executive summaries – that convey similar messages. “And that’s the first place to look because that gives you an overall impression of whether it’s a good year or bad year, and what the challenges are going to be in that budget.”įor example, last year’s transmittal letter for the Kansas City budget highlighted an increase in sales tax revenue and flagged a few new expenses, such as $250,000 for tree planting and $2.5 million for KC’s Right to Counsel program for tenants. “That will explain both what the budget is and how much it is, and any changes from the previous year,” said Collins, who now serves as the vice president of Collins Noteis & Associates, a firm that assists in urban planning and government projects. The transmittal letter appears at the opening of the budget document, providing a short, easy-to-read summary of notable changes from the previous year, addressed to the city council. If he had only a few minutes to review a 700-page budget, former Kansas City Manager Robert Collins said he would start by reading the transmittal letter. The introductory letter usually offers a quick summary Public hearings are coming up this week for Jackson County and next month for Kansas City, Missouri, and officials are looking for public input into whether the budget’s priorities align with the people they represent. You can use what you learn to speak up at government meetings. In this guide, you’ll learn where to look first to get a quick overview of the budget’s key points, as well as some of the key terminology that will help you understand what it means. The budget outlines how much money the city or county plans to spend in every department, and it’s reported in what are typically lengthy 600-to-1,000 page documents.īut don’t be discouraged by the length of the budget document.

House Bill 1002 now heads to the Indiana Senate for further consideration. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville) said this legislation would also allow post-secondary scholarships, such as the Frank O’Bannon Grant and the 21st Century Scholarship, to be used for training provided by intermediaries, employers, or a labor organization. It would also task the State Board of Education with re-examining high school diploma requirements in order to provide more flexibility in student schedules so they can pursue apprenticeships, applied learning experiences, work-based learning, and credentials. ![]() It could also incentivize schools and career centers to embrace more earn-and-learn partnerships. The Indiana Department of Education would approve available courses and tracks, and accounts would be awarded $5,000 under the recently proposed House Republican budget. Under the legislation, Career Scholarship Accounts could be used by sophomores, juniors, and seniors to enroll in earn-and-learn opportunities, as well as to pay for items like transportation and uniforms to remove barriers to accessing these experiences. The legislation would also allow quality, work-based learning to count toward high school graduation requirements and create a framework for students to earn post-secondary credentials. Michelle Davis (R-Whiteland), who co-authored the bill, said House Bill 1002 would create Career Scholarship Accounts for Hoosier students to pay for career training, apprenticeships, certifications, and internships.
