Audiotool - Free Music Software - Make Music Online In Your Browser Technology Is Not Driving Us Apart After All In September 2008, two graduate students working for Keith Hampton, a professor at Rutgers, raised a camera atop a 16-foot tripod to film down into Bryant Park, the sprawling green space behind the main branch of the New York Public Library. They hit record, then milled about nearby pretending they had nothing to do with the rig, as it semi-surreptitiously filmed the comings and goings of hundreds of New Yorkers. The charade didn’t last. After an hour, Lauren Sessions Goulet, the more senior of the pair, found herself talking to the park’s private security force, which sent her to see their bosses, the Bryant Park Corporation. She was nervous. Across the street and up 11 floors, in the corporation’s Fifth Avenue office near the park, Goulet explained what Hampton had sent her there to do.

Topito The Story Behind The THX Deep Note Something between a black MIDI glissando and a brown note, the THX "Deep Note" is one of the world's most recognizable audio logos, signaling the highest quality audio standard in films. Parodied by The Simpsons and sampled by Dr. Dre (which got him sued), at peak popularity the THX Deep Note was played in front of 4,000 movie theater audiences a day, or around once every 20 seconds. Yet despite its distinctive crescendo, the THX Deep Note wasn't actually composed so much as it was programmed, which makes it a fascinating success story of early computer audio design. The father of the THX Deep Note was James A. The spec was vague. By modern standards, the ASP's ability to process digital sounds in real time was incredibly limited: The average laptop today can handle audio processing thousands of times more effectively than Lucasfilm's bulky old mainframe. "Every time I ran the C-program, it produced a new 'performance' of the piece," explained Moorer back in 2005. H/T: Metafilter

How to Create a Cheap, Battery-Powered Production If you work at an after-school music program, maybe this dilemma will sound familiar: Your students want to learn how to make music, but maybe not the kind they find in their school's classical, marching band, or choral curricula. The Music & Youth Initiative came up with a cost-effective way to get powerful, contemporary music-making tools into the hands of students. The battery-powered workstation the group devised has everything students need to create modern pop, hip-hop, R&B, or other current music, and it will cost just about $1,000 total. Music & Youth is not new to such endeavors. For 15 years, the organization has been launching and supporting music programs for children in low-income neighborhoods. Their Music Clubhouse locations even have full-fledged recording studios on the premises. Music & Youth's Mobile Studio assembly video. Fitting all this power into one small workstation was a feat of clever engineering.
Piracetam Piracetam (sold under many brand names) is a medication in the racetams group, with chemical name 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide. It is approved in the United Kingdom[2] but is not approved in the United States.[3][4] In the UK, piracetam is prescribed mainly for myoclonus,[5] but is used off-label for other conditions. Evidence to support its use for many conditions is unclear, although it is marketed as a nootropic (cognitive enhancer). It shares the same 2-oxo-pyrrolidone base structure with pyroglutamic acid. Medical uses[edit] Dementia[edit] A 2001 Cochrane review concluded that there was not enough evidence to support piracetam for dementia or cognitive problems.[7] A 2002 review and 2005 review concluded that piracetam had some positive effects in older patients with these problems.[8][9] In 2008, a working group of the British Academy of Medical Sciences noted that many of the trials of piracetam for dementia were flawed.[10][11] Depression and anxiety[edit] Other[edit] History[edit]

Compressor Attack and Release Times Explained - Audio Issues : Audio Issues I’m going to tell you a secret no one in the music business wants you to know. Learning how to properly use compression is hard. Everybody thinks they understand how to use a compressor way before they actually do. Sure, they know what all the knobs are for, but most of the time they’re either recalling presets, dialing in the same go-to settings for every song or just spinning knobs until something cool happens. It’s hard to hear the subtle differences between different attack and release settings—especially without knowing what you’re listening for. Compressor Controls On a technical level, the controls of a compressor are pretty simple. The Threshold setting determines when the compressor actually begins compressing. The Ratio setting determines how much the compressor reduces or attenuates the signal. The Attack setting controls how long the compressor takes to compress the signal, while the release setting controls how long the compressor takes to let go. Attack Slow Attack Fast Attack
