Computer Music Center at Columbia University The Garden of Dreams This musical and visual installation proposes to the visitors the interactive exploration of dreams coming from all over the world, in many different languages, recorded both on the Internet and at the two installation locations in New York and Lyon (France). These dreams take part in a collective memory, which visitors of the installation can consult by traveling through oniric universes. On a website specially designed for this purpose, or in a “Dream Station” in another room of the exhibition’s building, one can video record herself/himself and share a dream. Dreams recorded in video will never be used as is, in a realistic way, but will be transformed and inserted in imaginary worlds. A special performance, Distant Mirrors, will extend this singular experience by allowing two flutists, one in Lyon, the other in New York, to play together via the Internet, crossing the dreams and the oniric landscapes of the installation.
AbletonOp Live Sound Services Music Recording Studio, TSC / TRINITY SOUND COMPANY Ontario, CA Grounding Improper grounding can create a lethal hazard. Even if you advert danger, ground loops are the most common cause of AC line frequency hum in sound systems. So it pays to learn about grounding, and use what you learn. What is a ground loop? A ground loop occurs when there is more than one ground connection path between two pieces of equipment. Can ground loops be eliminated? Sometimes, in poorly designed sound equipment, ground loops occur inside the chassis. You should avoid unbalanced equipment in your system. Figure 1 illustrates a typical ground loop situation.

Synthesizer and electronic music news, synth and music software reviews and more! How to Use Ableton’s Beat Repeat Effect for Live Performance It’s not exactly news that a lot of people see Ableton Live as one of the best pieces of software for live performance. After relying on Live and a laptop for loads of gigs around the globe, I can fully recommend it as a tool capable of delivering the results. The interface is clear and luckily it hasn’t crashed on me yet. With so many effects to choose from I’ve decided to cover one that has seemed to remain a constant crowd pleaser throughout my live career and that’s the extremely usable ‘Beat repeat’ effect. Step 1 - A Good Start Just so you know how I am running Live for this tutorial, I have used a very basic DJ style template, with two ‘decks’, a few auxiliary FX channels and a few EQs and filters on each channel. Step 2 - Inserting the Beat Repeat Effect Now navigate to the Ableton effects area using the browser to the left of Live’s interface and grab a Beat repeat plug-in. Step 3 - Using a Controller for Live Performance Step 4 - Activating MIDI Map Step 6 - Loading Some Sounds
Ground loop problems and how to get rid of them Written and copyright by Tomi Engdahl 1997-2013 NOTE: The information presented here is believed to be correct and is made available here by the author.

Basics The dilemma is that solving "noise" problems is an art within itself. A good power distribution system is essential for proper operation of audio system. Ground loop is a condition where an unintended connection to ground is made through an interfering electrical conductor. When two or more devices are connected to a common ground through different paths, a ground loop occurs. The bottom line is that a perfect "quiet" ground does not exist. Usually ground loops are an after-the-fact type of problem in which the end-user blames the installer, the installer blames the manufacturer, and actually nobody is at fault.

Don't believe the Hype Bon, est ce que NiN et Radiohead ont vraiment révolutionné le business de la musique ! (bordel) Vous me lisez, on se connait un peu maintenant, vous savez que mon obsession est de mettre en avant, réfléchir à des business models différents des business models classiques, à savoir « je vends mon CD » . Car vendre son CD, c’est devenu compliqué. On voit émerger de « nouveaux » business models. On parle de direct to fans (D2F), de direct to fan sales, de pay what you want, de donation…. Le marketing et les ventes grâce au direct-to-fan (aux direct-to-fan sales) ont connu un pic ces dernières années grâce à la combinaison de différents facteurs. Par pay what you want, on entend « payer ce que vous voulez ». Il y a aussi le « crowd funding, », la donation. Radiohead reste le symbole le plus emblématique du direct to fans et du pay what you want avec le lancement de l’album “In Rainbows”. Trent Reznor résume ainsi les grandes lignes du problème, majeur, de l’industrie musicale :

Why Your MP3s Sound Bad: High-Resolution Audio Explained - Better Sound, Vinyl, and FLAC More Data Means Better Sound QualityOkay, so bigger files sound better, but what does that really mean? Young said in the interview that when an artist creates something, the master could be 100 percent great, but the consumer is only getting 5 percent of it with an MP3 file. That's mostly true in absolute terms—a 128Kbps MP3 file can take anywhere from one-tenth to one-twentieth the space of an average raw, uncompressed CD track. Professors in professional audio programs have a trick lately of showing students what happens when you take an original waveform, overlay an MP3 version, and then strip the MP3 data away; you still see a lot of audible data left: This is how much you're losing with MP3 files! In reality, most of the crucial data is there—enough to give a convincing, if not particularly pleasant sounding, representation of a recording. Switch to a FLAC file, and all of the above flaws go away. Vinyl and the 'Old High-End'So how does vinyl fit into all this?
