HTG Explains: What Are the Differences Between All Those Audio Formats? Digital audio has been around a very long time so there’s bound to be a plethora of audio formats out there. Here are some of the more common ones, what differentiates them, and what to use them for. Before we talk about everyday audio formats, it’s important you understand the basics, and that means understanding PCM. Compositeur de Musique de Film : le blog de Tanguy Follio Et oui, cela fait déjà pas mal de temps que le blog est délaissé par son misérable auteur (eh, c'est moi !) La motivation (et la disponibilité) s'effilochant petit à petit, je ne pense pas revenir sur de nouveaux articles avant longtemps. C'est donc officiel : j'arrête (le blog, pas la musique, hein !). Serein et satisfait du travail accompli :)
The 40 greatest synth sounds When our friends at Future Music magazine compiled a list of the 40 greatest synth sounds of all time in 2008, it was nothing if not controversial. Inevitably, some iconic tones failed to make the cut, but few would deny that the majority of the sounds that were included have attained classic status. Now, for the first time, we can present the full list complete with analysis, audio and advice on how to go about replicating many of these sounds yourself. Read on, be inspired and then go and create a great patch of your own.First up: Goldfrapp's Mellotron classic, Utopia... Our first sound is a much-loved preset. From the world’s first ‘sampler,’ no less.
Tele-Present Water by David Bowen visualizes intensity and movement of the water in a remote location #maxmsp #arduino Created by David Bowen, Tele-Present Water installation draws information from the intensity and movement of the water in a remote location. Wave data is collected in real-time from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data buoy station 46075 Shumagin Islands Alaska. The wave intensity and frequency is scaled and transferred to the mechanical grid structure resulting in a simulation of the physical effects caused by the movement of water from this distant location.
les systemes, les gammes et les modes Les Gammes et les Modes les plus utilisés commencons par la gamme qui sert d'echelle a toutes les autres :La gamme chromatique La gamme chromatique sert principalement d'echelle et n'est utilisée telle qu'elle que dans certaines formes du jazz, dans la musique contemporaine ou plus rarement dans de petits passages d'autres musiques pour creer des tensions. Elle englobe toutes les notes dont on se sert dans la musique occidentale (12 sans compter les differentes octaves), on peut la jouer sur le piano touche par touche ( blanches et noires confondues) ou sur la guitare case par case, elle n'est constituée que du plus petit intervalle utilisé dans la musique occidentale : le 1/2ton et c'est pour cela qu'elle sert d'echelle, sa structure est :1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton 1/2ton Extrait audio en C majeur (tonal): Extrait audio en G ionien (modal): Extrait audio en G dorien : Extrait audio en G phrygien :
Synthesis Basics Table of Contents Introduction This article is a (relatively) brief introduction to the principles of music synthesis. Each of the basic components of synthesizers are explained, along with descriptions and examples of how these components are chained together to make interesting sounds. The principles discussed are not unique to any specific synthesis platform, but are applicable to music synthesis in general. I hope this article will help interested musicians and composers access the academic tools and literature associated with electronic music. ObiAudio This is from a thread on Future Producers..I did not write this and do…to an extent…agree with most of this. I just copied and pasted the good stuff: To understand EQ and its intricacies you need hands-on experience, but to help you get started, here’s a table of general uses and the different ranges that EQ can affect.

Lesson Plan for Making a Speaker Laboratory ©1995 The Regents of the University of California by Regan Lum Introduction: A speaker is a device that converts an electronic signal into sound. Sum & Difference Monitoring - Reverse Engineering! Have you ever considered using Sum & Difference monitoring techniques to enable you to reverse engineer some of your favourite records? We all know that developing our listening skill is crucial as engineers and producers who care about the quality of our craft. Utilising some commonly found features on mixing consoles and monitor controllers, today’s blog entry outlines some interesting ways to help expose elements in perspectives you may not have heard very often. Mid / Side Basics So I am sure many of you have used mid/side techniques to record stereo signals, a technique that allows us to capture separate mid (cardioid most often) and side (figure-8) signals that can facilitate control over stereo content post-capture. In a mid/side array, the individual microphone feeds are combined in a simple matrix in order to produce and vary stereo content.
Music evolution: Is this the end of the composer? 18 June 2012Last updated at 20:47 ET By Rebecca Morelle Science reporter, BBC News Professor Armand Leroi from Imperial College London explains why he thinks a Darwinian computer program that can evolve music from noise could kill off the composer You might think that creating the perfect piece of music - whether it's a classical great, jazz masterpiece or pop hit - is all down to the composer's talent, flair or even genius. Image to Sound Mapping [Part 1] « The vOICe Home Page Page contents: Principles and frequency distributions The above figure illustrates the principles of the conversion procedure for the simple example of an 8 × 8, 3 grey-tone image (instead of the 64 × 64, 16 grey-tone mapping that we use in reality).
