See her Tuesday in Portland at Jack London Revue. by Dave Segal

Recording for Flying Lotus's Brainfeeder label, Salami Rose Joe Louis (Lindsay Olsen) has blazed a distinctive trail in that fertile sector of California's underground where electronic music and jazz converge. On early releases by this multi-instrumentalist and producer—such as 2019's Zdenka 2080—Olsen sings in a hushed, dulcet manner over sparse, melodious electronic music that wears its jazz inflections gracefully. Faint echoes of '90s and '00s introspective, minimalist IDM (intelligent dance music, if you don't know) acts such as Múm insinuate themselves, too. It's ultimately dream pop, but not in the cloying way manifested by the genre's try-hards.

With 2023's Akousmatikous and this year's collab with Flanafi, Sarah, SRJL's rhythms get jazzier and the instrumentation fuller, with help from Soccer96 and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, among others. The songs are more kinetic while the vocals retain their breathy, Julee Cruise-like sweetness. The music's levitational feel and smooth propulsion belie lyrics about catastrophic ecological degradation and the dangers of propaganda/disinformation. Enchanting listeners through understatement and mutedly sparkling tones, Olsen offers the most pleasant dystopian sci-fi soundtracks extant. At Jack London Revue she'll be joined by guitarist Flanafi, bassist Tone Whitfield, and drummer Luke Titus—most of whom played on the exceptional new Salami Live at 2131 North Kacey Street EP.

Prof. Howard Nusbaum explains audio phenomenon

The mayor of Cremona, Italy, blocked traffic during five weeks of recording and asked residents to please keep quiet so master musicians could play four instruments -- note by note -- for posterity.

It’s an unmistakable sound. One that elicits memories, sights and scents of events long ago. It recalls the joy of youth, the possibility of a spring evening. But it can also incite insomnia and the blind rage that accompanies it.

With the release of Skillet's latest album, "Revolution," lead singer John Cooper is more impassioned than ever, sounding an alarm over what he sees as a pivotal moment in America’s history. 

A series of organotin heterocycles of general formula [{Me2C(C6H3CH2)2O}SnR2] [R = methyl (Me, 4), n-butyl (n-Bu, 5), benzyl (Bn, 6) and phenyl (Ph, 7)] was easily synthesized by a Barbier-type reaction assisted by the sonochemical activation of metallic magnesium. The 119Sn{1H} NMR data for all four com­pounds confirm the presence of a central Sn atom in a four-coordinated environment in solution. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies for 17,17-dimethyl-7,7-di­phenyl-15-oxa-7-stanna­tetra­cyclo­[11.3.1.05,16.09,14]hepta­deca-1,3,5(16),9(14),10,12-hexa­­ene, [Sn(C6H5)2(C17H16O)], 7, at 100 and 295 K con­firmed the formation of a mono­nuclear eight-membered heterocycle, with a conformation depicted as boat–chair, resulting in a weak Sn⋯O inter­action. The Sn and O atoms are surrounded by hydro­phobic C—H bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of 7 showed that the eight-membered heterocycles are linked by weak C—H⋯π, π–π and H⋯H noncovalent inter­actions. The pairwise inter­action energies showed that the cohesion between the heterocycles are mainly due to dispersion forces.

While the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Safety Measurement System (SMS) used to identify commercial motor vehicle carriers at high risk for future crashes is conceptually sound, several features of its implementation need improvement, says a new congressionally mandated report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

No matter how good your technical equipment might be, it is almost impossible to avoid capturing unwanted in-/exhaling sounds and mouth noises during voice recordings. After some users asked for an automatic removal of such sounds to improve the audio quality, we got to work and are now proud to present a major upgrade to our Denoiser, including the automatic removal of mouth noises and a new “Remove Breathings” option!
Check out our Audio Examples and the Getting Started Guide below.

What is new?

• Remove Breathings: When the new “Remove Breathings” option is enabled, all the inhalation and exhalation sounds will be muted like all the other noises.
• Eliminate Mouth Noises and Eating Sounds: With our upgrade to the Denoiser, we have integrated the elimination of all types of mouth noises, such as smacking, chewing and clicking. These sounds are set to silence in your output file.

NOTE:
By default, mouth noises and breathing segments are muted but not cut. If you want to cut out all silent segments, just add the “Cut Silence” option for “Automatic Cutting” in the audio algorithms.

Audio Examples

1. Example: Breathing Removal

In our first audio example (Freak Show 136), a speaker breathes directly into the microphone, creating a Darth Vader-like effect. This heavy breathing is removed using the “Remove Breathings” algorithm and the Dynamic Denoiser:

2. Example: Mouth Noise and Eating Sounds Elimination

The following example is an excerpt from the Joe Rogan Experience #2054 where Elon Musk and Joe Rogan are eating pizza and talking about how terrible it is for the sound. Listen to how the chewing and smacking sounds are removed after processing with the new Dynamic Denoiser:

Getting Started Guide

For the Auphonic Web Service:

To remove breathing sounds in the Auphonic Web Service, simply create a production or preset as usual and check the “Remove Breathings” checkbox for “Noise Reduction” in the “Audio Algorithms” section.
“Remove Breathings” is only available for Speech Isolation and the Dynamic Denoiser, but NOT for the Static Denoiser.

For the removal of mouth noises, no special settings are required. Just enable the Speech Isolation or the Dynamic Denoise method for Noise Reduction.

For API Use:

To use “Remove Breathings” with the API, set the "denoisemethod" to dynamic or speech_isolation and the "debreath" flag to true, as in these two examples:

"algorithms": {
    "denoisemethod": dynamic, "denoiseamount": 100, "debreathamount": 100,
}

"algorithms": {
    "denoisemethod": speech_isolation, "denoiseamount": 12, "debreathamount": 100,
}

For more information about the API, please visit our API help page, where you will also find all other API Audio Algorithm Settings.

Conclusion

Breath and mouth noise removal is essential for podcasters, as it enhances audio clarity and ensures a more professional, polished presentation. By removing distracting sounds, you can maintain listener engagement and provide a seamless listening experience.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the new features!
If you have any feedback for us on how the breath and mouth noise elimination is working for you, please feel free to contact us via email or directly comment in our production interface!

Tenable®, the exposure management company, today released its 2024 Tenable Cloud Risk Report, which examines the critical risks at play in modern cloud environments. Most alarmingly, nearly four in 10 organizations globally are leaving themselves exposed at the highest levels due to the “toxic cloud trilogy” of publicly exposed, critically vulnerable and highly privileged cloud workloads. Each of these misalignments alone introduces risk to cloud data, but the combination of all three drastically elevates the likelihood of exposure access by cyber attackers.

Security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities combine to dramatically increase cloud risk. The Tenable Cloud Risk Report provides a deep dive into the most pressing cloud security issues observed in the first half of 2024, highlighting areas such as identities and permissions, workloads, storage resources, vulnerabilities, containers and Kubernetes. It also offers mitigation guidance for organizations seeking ways to limit exposures in the cloud.

Publicly exposed and highly privileged cloud data lead to data leaks. Critical vulnerabilities exacerbate the likelihood of incidents. The report reveals that a staggering 38% of organizations have cloud workloads that meet all three of these toxic cloud trilogy criteria, representing a perfect storm of exposure for cyber attackers to target. When bad actors exploit these exposures, incidents commonly include application disruptions, full system takeovers, and DDoS attacks that are often associated with ransomware. Scenarios like these could devastate an organization, with the 2024 average cost of a single data breach approaching $5 million.¹ 

Additional key findings from the report include: 

• 84% of organizations have risky access keys to cloud resources: The majority of organizations (84.2%) possess unused or longstanding access keys with critical or high severity excessive permissions, a significant security gap that poses substantial risk. 
• 23% of cloud identities have critical or high severity excessive permissions: Analysis of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure reveals that 23% of cloud identities, both human and non-human, have critical or high severity excessive permissions. 
• Critical vulnerabilities persist: Notably, CVE-2024-21626, a severe container escape vulnerability that could lead to the server host compromise, remained unremediated in over 80% of workloads even 40 days after its publishing. 
• 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage: 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage assets, including those in which sensitive data resides. This exposure, often due to unnecessary or excessive permissions, has been linked to increased ransomware attacks. 
• 78% of organizations have publicly accessible Kubernetes API servers: Of these, 41% also allow inbound internet access. Additionally, 58% of organizations have cluster-admin role bindings — which means that certain users have unrestricted control over all the Kubernetes environments.

“Our report reveals that an overwhelming number of organizations have access exposures in their cloud workloads of which they may not even be aware,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “It’s not always about bad actors launching novel attacks. In many instances, misconfigurations and over-privileged access represent the highest risk for cloud data exposures. The good news is, many of these security gaps can be closed easily once they are known and exposed.”

The report reflects findings by the Tenable Cloud Research team based on telemetry from millions of cloud resources across multiple public cloud repositories, analyzed from January 1 through June 30, 2024.
