  • Design Project: Big Beat DJ Project Overview
    Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering ECSE 4560: Signal Processing Design, Spring 2003 Professor: Richard Radke, JEC 7006, 276-6483 Design Project: Big Beat DJ “I never worked a day in my life; I just laid back and let the big beat lead me.” - The Jungle Brothers Project Overview A good techno DJ spins a continuous stream of music by seamlessly mixing one song into the next. This involves not only synchronizing the beats of the songs to be mixed, but also incrementally adjusting the pitches of the songs so that during the transition, neither song sounds unnatural. Your goal in this project is to use signal processing to produce a computerized DJ that can automatically produce a non-stop mix of music given a library of non-synchronized tracks as input. On top of this basic specification, additional points will be given for implementing advanced techniques like sampling, beat juggling and airbeats that make the mix more exciting. At the end of the term, the computer DJs will face off in a Battle for World Supremacy with a library of entirely novel songs. Basic Deliverables To meet the basic design requirement, your group should deliver • An m-file named bpm.m with syntax b = bpm(song) where song is the name of a music .wav file (or the vector of music samples themselves), and b is the estimated number of beats per minute in the specified song. • An m-file named songmix.m with syntax mix = = songmix(song1,song2), where mix is the resultant continuous mix between song1 and song2.

Most of these approaches, in one form or another, ac- knowledge the impact of synthesisers on musical culture, either by celebrating their role in powering avant-garde eras of sonic experimentation and composition, or by mapping the relationship between manufacturing trends and stylistic divergences in popular mu- sic.

  • Computer Mediated Music Production: a Study of Abstraction and Activity
    Computer mediated music production: A study of abstraction and activity by Matthew Duignan A thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science. Victoria University of Wellington 2008 Abstract Human Computer Interaction research has a unique challenge in under- standing the activity systems of creative professionals, and designing the user-interfaces to support their work. In these activities, the user is involved in the process of building and editing complex digital artefacts through a process of continued refinement, as is seen in computer aided architecture, design, animation, movie-making, 3D modelling, interactive media (such as shockwave-flash), as well as audio and music production. This thesis exam- ines the ways in which abstraction mechanisms present in music production systems interplay with producers’ activity through a collective case study of seventeen professional producers. From the basis of detailed observations and interviews we examine common abstractions provided by the ubiqui- tous multitrack-mixing metaphor and present design implications for future systems. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors Robert Biddle and James Noble for their endless hours of guidance and feedback during this process, and most of all for allowing me to choose such a fun project. Michael Norris and Lissa Meridan from the Victoria University music department were also invaluable for their comments and expertise. I would also like to thank Alan Blackwell for taking the time to discuss my work and provide valuable advice. I am indebted to all of my participants for the great deal of time they selflessly offered, and the deep insights they shared into their professional world.

Christian Ekeke 12/19/16 Capstone 2 Dr. Lanier Sammons Automation: From Consoles to DAWs Since the beginning of modern music there has always been a need to implement movement into a mix. Whether it is bringing down dynamics for a classic fade out or a filter sweep slowly building into a chorus, dynamic activity in a song has always been pleasing to the average music listeners. The process that makes these mixing techniques possible is automation. Before I get into details about automation in regards to mixing I will explain common ways automation is used. Automation in a nutshell is the use of various techniques, method, and system of operating or controlling a process by highly automatic means generally through electronic devices. In music however, automation is simply the use of a combination of multiple control devices to alter parameters in real time while a mix is being played.
