![]() “Hey, you want to start it off? Yeah, I’ll kick a rhyme… “įlow – Flow is the rhythmic pattern you use with your words in relationship to the instrumental.Ĭatch the beat – This indicates being on rhythm when hearing a new instrumental. Kick a rhyme – The act of starting a rap. Essentially putting raps out there and dropping dope bars. You can use things around you or happening right at that moment to prove it is “off the dome” or “off the top of the head”.ĭrop bars – The act of rapping words. Off the dome – Raps that are made up on the spot. Often debated, but I think most freestyle has at least SOME premeditated lines and rhymes anyways. Some people might define it as rapping about whatever you want. Without pre-meditating your verse or spitting a pre-written verse. Example: I spit dope bars = I rap good lines.įreestyle – When I think about freestyle rap, I always think about coming with random lyrics and rhymes on the spot. Hi-hat – A drum beat that has a “TSS” type of sound.īass – Low octave sound that is part of the drum rhythm. Snare – A drum beat that has a BAP or a clap type of sound. Kick – A drum beat that has a BOOM or a thud type of sound. The instrumental is the whole song without the lyrics. The combination of drums, instruments, samples and sounds to create a rhythmic pattern to rap over. There are four beats in one bar of music in hip hop. The saying “take a beat” means to take a moment. One bar of rap (in 4/4 time signature) is equivalent to a count of four beats.īeats – Beats are measurements of time in music. Voice only.īars– Bars are units of measurement when dealing with musical time. Please feel free to add on to this list, I know I haven’t covered all the terms and phrases but hopefully this will help a few of you starting out.Īcapella – The act of rapping without an instrumental beat behind you. If you had not posted your times I probably would not have even thought about testing the trials, so thank you.I put together a glossary of common rapping terms and rapping vocabulary for you to refer to when you don’t know the slang. I wonder if the same is true for Gigapixel. So the problem all along has been that the older Sharpen AI app was just too slow and they have improved that. Times for Focus, Motion and Softness were 0:31, 0:31 and 0:12. I then changed to Sharpen and the time decreased to 0:45. For one thing I changed the setting from Enable discrete GPU ON to OFF, and the Stablize time decreased to 1:45. ![]() I forgot to mention that the Sharpen AI setting was for Stabilize, not Sharpen or Focus. Sharpen, on the other hand, is something I would use more frequently if it did not take so long to process. I don’t generally enlarge photos, so the fact that Gigapixel takes “forever” to process my images on my machine is not a real issue for me. Newer versions might be considerably faster and if your testing was using newer versions I could download the trials and see how they run. Gigapixel is the 2020 version, 5.1.7, and Sharpen is 2.1.8. The first was done using Gigapixel as an external editor for PhotoLine and the second used Gigapixel as a stand-alone app. a 16MP jpg from my wife’s Nikon point-and-shoot took a bit more than 4 1/2 minutes for the same 2x upscale. I assumed it might be faster on a smaller jpg I also timed it as well. Gigapixel, on a 20MB 16 bit tiff, took just short of 6 minutes with the default settings and the upscale set to 2x. I tested it on the Gigapixel output and that took almost 5 minutes. Sharpen, on a 20MP 16bit tiff, took about 3 1/2 minutes, so my “guess” of about 1 minute was pretty far off, and not in a good way. ![]() My first set of figures was just guessing from the work that I had done, so I decided to actually time both Sharpen and Gigapixel. I am not sure where you are getting your GPAI figures from ![]()
