Recording Classical Music

Recording Classical Music

Recording Classical Music presents the fundamental principles of digitally recording and editing acoustic music in ambient spaces focusing on stereo microphone techniques that will help musicians understand how to translate live environments into recorded sound. The book covers theory and the technical aspects of recording from sound source to delivery: the nature of soundwaves and their behavior in rooms microphone types and the techniques of recording in stereo proximity and phase file types tracking and critical listening loudness meters and the post-production processes of EQ control of dynamic range (compressors limiters dynamic EQ de-essers) and reverberation (both digital reflection simulation and convolution) with some discussion of commercially available digital plugins. The final part of the book applies this knowledge to common recording situations showcasing not only strategies for recording soloists and small ensembles along with case studies of several recordings but also studio techniques that can enhance or replace the capture of performances in ambient spaces such as close miking and the addition of artificial reverberation. Recording Classical Music provides the tools necessary for anyone interested in classical music production to track mix and deliver audio recordings themselves or to supervise the work of others.

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Acoustics of Small Rooms

Much time is spent working out how to optimize the acoustics of large rooms such as auditoria but the acoustics of small rooms and environments can be just as vital. The expensive sound equipment of a recording studio or the stereo in a car or living room is likewise rendered useless if the acoustic environment is not right for them. Changes in wavelength to room size ratio and the time difference between the direct and reflected sound at the listening location mean that the acoustics of small spaces are quite different to those of large spaces. Tackling these specific aspects of physics sound perception and applications for small spaces Acoustics of Small Rooms brings together important facets of small room acoustics. Divided into clear sections it covers: Sound propagation—the effects of boundaries sound absorbers and time conditions Physiology and psychoacoustics Methods and techniques of room and sound field optimization Examples of how these principles apply in real situations Measurement and modeling techniques

Seeing Opera Anew A Cultural and Biological Perspective

Seeing Opera Anew A Cultural and Biological Perspective

What people ultimately want from opera audience research suggests is to be absorbed in a story that engages their feelings even moves them deeply and that may lead them to insights about life and perhaps themselves. How and why can this combination of music and drama do that? What causes people to be moved by opera? How is it that people may become more informed about living and their own lives? Seeing Opera Anew addresses these fundamental questions. Most approaches to opera present information solely from the humanities providing musical literary and historical interpretations but this book offers a “stereo” perspective adding insights from the sciences closely related to human life including evolutionary biology psychology anthropology and neuroscience. It can be hoped that academic specialists less familiar with the science will find points of interest in this book’s novel approach and that open-minded students and inquisitive opera-goers will be stimulated by its “cultural and biological perspective. ” | Seeing Opera Anew A Cultural and Biological Perspective

Children and Work Study of Socialization

Children and Work Study of Socialization

What do children know about work careers and related topics? What is the pattern of growth in values attitudes beliefs and knowledge? Using quantitative and anecdotal evidence gathered from interviewing over 900 grade-school students in five New Jersey communities the authors analyze childhood socialization to the concept of work. Existing literature on this topic focuses on the critical years of oc-cupational choice. But Goldstein and Oldham strongly suggest that much of the child's work-related development has already occurred prior to entry into secondary school and that career educa-tion must receive increased em-phasis during the elementary years. Their evidence corroborates the pattern of rapid progress to-ward childhood awareness of im-portant social phenomena such as war politics race gender roles and economics. By the seventh grade children have an awareness in these areas that approximates that of adults. Traditional stereo-types concerning appropriate work roles for women continue to exist at the elementary school level. This work is a comprehensive empirical treatment of childhood socialization to work fitting neat-ly into the growing body of litera-ture on the socialization of the child into various political eco-nomic and social roles. Children and Work is in the sociological tradition but the findings are pre-sented in the context of a growing body of social science research on early socialization. | Children and Work Study of Socialization

Serial Communication Protocols and Standards

Serial Communication Protocols and Standards

Data communication standards are comprised of two components: The “protocol” and “Signal/data/port specifications for the devices involved”. The protocol describes the format of the message and the meaning of each part of the message. To connect any device to the bus an external device must be used as an interface which will put the message in a form which fulfills all the electrical specifications of the port. These specifications are called the “Standard”. The most famous such serial communication standard is the RS-232. In IT technology Communication can be serial or parallel. Serial communication is used for transmitting data over long distances. It is much cheaper to run the single core cable needed for serial communication over a long distance than the multicore cables that would be needed for parallel communication. It is the same in wireless communication: Serial communication needs one channel while parallel needs multichannel. Serial Communication can also be classified in many other ways for example synchronous and asynchronous; it can also be classified as simplex duplex and half duplex. Because of the wide spread of serial communication from home automation to sensor and controller networks there is a need for a very large number of serial communication standards and protocols. These have been developed over recent decades and range from the simple to the highly complicated. This large number of protocols was necessary to guarantee the optimum performance for the targeted applications. It is important for communication engineers to have enough knowledge to match the right protocol and standard with the right application. The main aim of this book is to provide the reader with that knowledgeThe book also provides the reader with detailed information about:- Serial Communication- Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)- Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) - eSPI- Universal Serial Bus (USB)- Wi-Fi- WiMax- InsteonThe details of each technology including specification operation security related matters and many other topics are covered. The book allocates three chapters to the main communication standards. These chapters cover everything related to the most famous standard RS-232 and all its variants. Other protocols such as: I2C CAN ZigBee Z-Wave Bluetooth and others are the subject of the authors separate book “Microcontroller and Smart Home Networks”. | Serial Communication Protocols and Standards
