Learning Music Theory with Logic Max and Finale

Learning Music Theory with Logic Max and Finale

Learning Music Theory with Logic Max and Finale is a groundbreaking resource that bridges the gap between music theory teaching and the world of music software programs. Focusing on three key programs—the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) Logic the Audio Programming Language (APL) Max and the music-printing program Finale—this book shows how they can be used together to learn music theory. It provides an introduction to core music theory concepts and shows how to develop programming skills alongside music theory skills. Software tools form an essential part of the modern musical environment; laptop musicians today can harness incredibly powerful tools to create record and manipulate sounds. Yet these programs on their own don’t provide musicians with an understanding of music notation and structures while traditional music theory teaching doesn’t fully engage with technological capabilities. With clear and practical applications this book demonstrates how to use DAWs APLs and music-printing programs to create interactive resources for learning the mechanics behind how music works. Offering an innovative approach to the learning and teaching of music theory in the context of diverse musical genres this volume provides game-changing ideas for educators practicing musicians and students of music.

Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works

Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works

Experimental Visualization in Architectural Design Media: How It Actually Works is a theoretical practical and interdisciplinary account of the tools used by architects and designers. The book focuses on the how these tools influence their ability to envision and craft the future experiential reality of buildings and environments. The book is structured around two parallel sets of questions. The first concerns the effects of various media on the designer's understanding of their work in experiential terms. The media considered include the process of design-build standard media such as scale model building hand drawing drafting and extends into the now dominant digitally based design media of BIM digital modeling and emerging VR technologies such as Enscape. The second line of questioning seeks patterns of use and other attributes designers deploy in practice to achieve an experiential and meaningful understanding of their work with and through each medium. To answer these questions the author provides a detailed assessment of the pros and cons (affordance and constraint) of each form of mediation and a set of recommendations documenting how experienced designers enhance their visualization skills to support such experiential design. This work is interwoven with interdisciplinary consideration of technology perception media studies history and bolstered by the direct experiences of design professionals. This book will be of interest to researchers working in the field of architecture and design as well as practising architects designers and students who are seeking guidance on how to effectively design and consider the experience of their future built environments. | Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works
