Up to Ableton Live version 6, the software didn’t include a compressor device with side chain input. Ableton Live 7 onwards introduced the new side chain enabled native compressor. The resulting effect is also called " ducking " and in this two-part tutorial we are going to explore it’s uses and demonstrate how his method can assist and enhance your mixing experience. We are also going to look on how to apply side chain compression to multiple signals and also how to modify the spectral characteristics of the compressed signal so that only a certain frequency range can be affected.

In music , a consonance (Latin con- , "with" + sonare , "to sound") is a harmony , chord , or interval considered stable (at rest), as opposed to a dissonance (Latin dis- , "apart" + sonare , "to sound"), which is considered to be unstable (or temporary, transitional). In more general usage, a consonance is a combination of notes that sound pleasant to most people when played at the same time; dissonance is a combination of notes that sound harsh or unpleasant to most people. This is a cultural concept as musics other than those from the western art music tradition, eg Balkan, Arabic, Chinese, do not follow this definition. [ 1 ] [ edit ] Consonance

An 833 Cents Scale An experiment on harmony Latest update: December 9,2012 Introduction Not every music theorist agrees that combination tones play a major role when it comes to defining harmony.
The 833 Cents Scale
Xenharmonic musical tuning systems are those that don't conform to or closely approximate the common 12-tone equal temperament . The term was coined by Ivor Darreg , from xenia ( Greek ξενία ), "hospitable," and xenos ( Greek ξένος ) "foreign." He famously stated: "This writer has proposed the term xenharmonic for music, melodies, scales, harmonies, instruments, and tuning-systems which do not sound like the 12-tone-equal temperament." [ 1 ] Xenharmonic tunings include those such as 5- and 7-tone equal temperament, which are perhaps excluded under "microtonal" rubric, since their intervals are larger than those of 12-ET . The term "microtonal" may have also been seen as too restrictive in that it was strongly associated with the quartertone movement, and with composers like Julián Carrillo , who only worked in equal temperaments that were multiples of 12. Darreg was among the first to argue that any equal temperament could be a valid source of musical materials.

Effects of 6-10 Hz ELF on Brain Waves | Journal of Borderland Research
Article by David S. Walonick , originally printed in Borderlands (Vol. XLVI, Nos. 3&4, May – August 1990) There is evidence that ELF magnetic waves can affect brain waves. This set of experiments was designed to study the effects of ELF rotating magnetic fields on the brain.This is a listing of frequencies that various parties have claimed can affect the human mind or body in some way. The following sorts of frequencies are included : Brainwave Frequencies - These are frequencies associated with various mental states. Using brainwave entrainment , you can coax your brainwaves to a certain frequency, and in doing so, achieve the mental state associated with that frequency. "Healing" Frequencies - These are frequencies that various parties claim could be used to heal illnesses of different kinds, or stimulate some region of the body (chakras).

Instrumental hip-hop should be banned. It's the banal, meandering stepchild of hip-hop. It's a front-runner for the dubious honor of being the world's most snooze-inducing form of music. And, shockingly, there are still producers and fans who insist on validating it like it's anything but sample-based Chinese water-torture -- one of whom, RJD2 , will be airing out his oh-so-atmospheric productions at Manor West on Wednesday, Feb.1.

Tibetan Buddhism [ 1 ] is the body of Buddhist religious doctrine and institutions characteristic of Tibet , Mongolia , Tuva , Bhutan , Kalmykia and certain regions of the Himalayas , including northern Nepal , and India (particularly in Arunachal Pradesh , Ladakh , Dharamsala , Lahaul and Spiti in Himachal Pradesh , and Sikkim ). It is the state religion of Bhutan . [ 2 ] It is also practiced in Mongolia and parts of Russia ( Kalmykia , Buryatia , and Tuva ) and Northeast China . Texts recognized as scripture and commentary are contained in the Tibetan Buddhist canon , such that Tibetan is a spiritual language of these areas. A Tibetan diaspora has spread Tibetan Buddhism to many Western countries , where the tradition has gained popularity. [ 3 ] Among its prominent exponents is the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The number of its adherents is estimated to be between ten and twenty million. [ 4 ] [ edit ] BuddhahoodIn the ancient world certain numbers had symbolic meaning, aside from their ordinary use for counting or calculating ... plane figures, the polygons, triangles, squares, hexagons, and so forth, were related to the numbers (three and the triangle, for example), were thought of in a similar way, and in fact, carried even more emotional value than the numbers themselves, because they were visual. [ edit ] As worldview and cosmology The belief that God created the universe according to a geometric plan has ancient origins. Plutarch attributed the belief to Plato , writing "Plato said God geometrizes continually" ( Convivialium disputationum , liber 8,2).

Daniel Edwin "Danny" Carey (born May 10, 1961) is an American drummer best known for his work in American Grammy Award-winning progressive metal band Tool . He has also contributed to albums by artists such as ZAUM , Green Jellÿ , Pigface , Skinny Puppy , Adrian Belew of King Crimson , Carole King , Collide , The Wild Blue Yonder, Lusk , and the Melvins . [ edit ] Biography Born in Lawrence, Kansas , Carey's first encounter with the drums began at the age of ten by joining the school band and taking private lessons on the snare drum . [ 1 ] Two years later, Carey began to practice on a drum set . In his senior year of high school in Paola, Kansas , Carey joined the high school jazz band and began to study under drumming great Ben Kelso specifically for jazz drumming training. Jazz would later play a huge role in his signature approach to the drum set in a rock setting.
