LA CHAINE AUDIO La chaîne audio, ou chaîne MAO, est l'ensemble des éléments nécessaires pour utiliser l'ordinateur comme outils d'édition audio. Chaque éléments de cette chaîne a une fonction bien précise permettant au son de passer de l'air à l'écran de l'ordinateur, et inversement: 1. La source audio (instruments, micro, entrée MIDI, ...) 2. La console (transfère le son de la source à la carte son) 3. Une carte son (convertit l'information audio) 4. L'ordinateur (reçoit l'information audio) 5. Les logiciel (permettent d'éditer les formes audio) 6. Les haut-parleurs (pour écouter le son depuis l'ordinateur) Ces éléments pourront être utilisés différemment, selon que l'on soit en mode enregistrement, ou en mode lecture. • Enregistrement Source audio Console Carte son Ordinateur • Lecture Ordinateur Carte son Console Haut-parleurs 2 LES LOGICIELS Pour éditer ou modifier des fichiers audio sur un ordinateur, il faut utiliser des logiciels prévus à cet effet. Les logiciels professionnels et/ou commerciaux sont généralement très complets, mais également très coûteux pour une utilisation ponctuelle ou amateur. Il est alors possible de se tourner vers des logiciels libres, avec lesquels on peut obtenir des résultats très satisfaisants. • Les logiciels libres Les logiciels "libres" ou "open source" sont des solutions informatiques dont l'utilisation, l'étude, la modification, la duplication et la diffusion sont universellement autorisées sans contrepartie. Ils représentent donc une alternative gratuite aux logiciels commerciaux, bien que n'étant pas pour autant des "freeware" ou "gratuiciels". Il existe beaucoup de logiciels libres dédiés à la MAO, mais plus principalement pour les plateformes Windows et Linux. En voici quelques-uns choisi parmi les plus populaires Editez rapidement vos fichiers audio. Supprimez les silences, ajoutez un écho ou un effet spécial, enlevez les parasites, mixez, etc. Une fois modifié, votre fichier est sauvegardé aux formats OGG, WAV ou MP3. L'éditeur intégré vous permet de copier, coller et assembler des extraits sonores, mais Audacity également d'ajuster la vitesse et la hauteur d'un enregistrement. KRISTAL Audio Engine est une table de mixage pour votre ordinateur. Elle peut reconnaitre jusqu'à 16 canaux, et prend en charge les fichiers aux formats WAV, AIFF, FLAC et OGG. De nombreux effets sont disponibles et l'application est capable d'enregistrer les sons des instruments de musiques branchés sur le Kristal Audio Engine PC. Linux Multi Media Studio est le plus puissant des logiciels de mixage et création musicale du monde Open Source, et qui se pose en alternative crédible face aux logiciels commerciaux tels que Cubase, Logic Pro ou Studio FL. Le logiciel dispose d'une très riche bibliothèque de sons (basses, batteries, cuivres, pianos, sons électro, etc) ainsi qu'un très grand nombre d'effets. Plutôt réservé aux grands amateurs et professionnels de la création musicale sur LMMS ordinateur, LMMS reste néanmoins très ludique pour les débutants. Ces derniers pourront passer de très longues heures à chercher et exploiter toutes les finesses et réglages proposés et même ajouter, plus tard, des plug-ins VSTi ou des effets LADSPA. Un must en matière de MAO. Quartz AudioMaster Freeware est un Séquenceur Audio (direct-to-disk) et Midi puissant et d'utilisation facile. Ce logiciel est destiné au gens qui désirent enregistrer, composer, mixer, jouer et partager des projets musicaux à l'aide d'un ordinateur et d'une simple carte son. Il inclut, entre autres, les Quartz Audio Master fonctionnalités suivantes : 4 pistes audio stéréo, 16 pistes Midi, des modules d'effet, un égaliseur par piste audio, des 'bus' auxiliaires, la synchro fichiers vidéo, un éditeur de partition, GM/GS/XG, 'piano-roll', etc. ainsi que de multiples fonctions qui permettent de facilement partager des projets à travers Internet grâce à son format de fichier multi-piste compressé. 3 Psycle est un studio modulaire de création musicale. Vous pouvez utilisez des instruments virtuels et des effets, les combiner en les assemblant comme module.avec Psycle, il est simple de créer tout type de musique électronique. Mais il ne se limite pas uniquement à ce genre. Des enregistrements Psycle) acoustiques sont également possibles. Psycle supporte les instruments et effets vst2 comme des instruments intégrés. Ce logiciel est de type tracker, dans le respect des anciens FastTrackers, ImpulseTraker. Mais il est aussi compatible avec les nouvelles technologies. Psycle fonctionne sous windows mais est en version GPL. TuxGuitar prend en charge la création de partitions complètes, mais aussi de partitions en tablatures. Vous pourrez gérer plusieurs instruments en même temps, et visualiser la position des doigts sur le manche de la guitare. L'application permet également d'éditer les partitions en un format imprimable, et est capable de jouer pour vous le morceau affiché à l'écran. De plus, l'import et l'export de fichiers aux formats GP3, GP4 et GP5, sont possibles. Tux Guitar Piano Virtuel Midi vous permet de transformer votre ordinateur en véritable piano de 88 touches. Vous pourrez jouer, au choix, via votre clavier ou votre souris. L'application offre la possibilité de composer ses propres morceaux puis de les enregistrer au format Midi. Il permet en outre d'utiliser des centaines Piano Virtuel MIDI d'instruments. Un jeu de reconnaissance des notes est également disponible pour entraîner votre oreille musicale. Guitools est le "couteau suisse" du guitariste: il regroupe un tuner (qui s'accorde à l'aide d'un micro), une boîte à rythme (métronome), un éditeur d'accords et un éditeur de gammes. Guitools BonkEnc est un utilitaire de transcodage audio efficace et gratuit. On découvre au menu plusieurs fonctions personnalisables : • Extraction des pistes d'un CD Audio, • Récupération des tags ID3 via CDDB, BonkEnc • Conversion en mp3, m4a, ogg, wav, flac, bonk, wma, aac. Infra Recorder vous permet de graver des CD audio, des CD de données, des images disque (ISO, BIN/CUE), etc. Vous pourrez également copier un CD à la volée ou enregistrer votre compilation sur votre disque dur. L'application dispose d'un module complémentaire pour effacer les CD réinscriptibles ainsi que d'autres fonctionnalités intéressantes à découvrir. Infra Recorder 4 • Les logiciels commerciaux Généralement dédiés à une utilisation professionnelle, les logiciels commerciaux proposent une gamme très complète d'outils pour éditer et mixer des fichiers audio. Leur utilisation parfois complexe est principalement destinée à un public ayant des notions avancées en MAO et en théorie musicale d'une manière générale. Voici une liste de logiciels commerciaux parmi les plus utilisés: • Adobe Audition (éditeur multipiste audio) http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/audition/ • Pro Tools (éditeur multipiste audio) http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=24&langid=2 • Cubase (éditeur mustipiste audio-MIDI) http://www.steinberg.fr/ • Sound Forge (éditeur audio) http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/soundforgesoftware • Acid (éditeur audio-MDI) http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/acidpro • Live Ableton (éditeur séquenceur audio-MIDI) http://www.ableton.com/ • Reason http://www.reasonfrance.fr/ • Fruity Loops (séquenceur audio-MIDI) http://flstudio.image-line.com/ • Band in a Box (editeur-générateur de partitions MIDI) http://www.band-in-a-box.com/fr/ 5 LA PRATIQUE DE LA M.A.O Pour pouvoir enregistrer des sons sur un ordinateur, les différents éléments de la chaîne M.A.O doivent être connectés. Installation basique: Matériel 1 capteur de son 1 console de 1 une carte son 1 ordinateur logiciels d'édition 2 hauts parleurs (micro) ou mixage disposant (celles des musicale et/ou 1 casque instrument équipé de quelques ordinateurs d'une sortie JACK entrées JACK suffisent pour une utilisation amateur) Connectiques 1 câble XLR/JACK 1 câble JACK/JACK 1 cordon stéréo (si le micro n'est (guitare, claviers…) RCA/mini JACK pas équipé de câble) Branchements 1. branchez la prise JACK de la source (micro, instrument) sur une piste d'entrée de la console 2. reliez la console à l'ordinateur avec le cordon stéréo RCA/mini JACK • branchez les prises RCI sur

  • Datapond – Data Driven Music Builder
    DataPond – Data Driven Music Builder DataPond Data Driven Music Builder Over the past couple of months I have been attempting to teach myself to read music. This is something that I have been meaning to do for a long time. In high school the music teachers seemed to have no interest in students other than those with existing natural talent. The rest of us, they just taught appreciation of Bob Dylan. I can't stand Bob Dylan. So I never learned to read music or play an instrument. Having discovered the enjoyment of making stringed instruments such as the papermaché sitar, the Bad-Arse Mountain Dulcimer, a Windharp (inspired by this one), and a couple of other odd instruments. More recently I made a Lap Steel Slide guitar based on the electronics described in David Eric Nelson's great book “Junkyard Jam Band” and on Shane Speal's guide on building Lapsteels. I built mine out of waste wood palette wood and it connects to an old computer speaker system I pulled out of my junk box and turned to the purpose. It ended up sounding pretty good – to my ear at least. Anyway, I have instruments-a-plenty, but didn't know how to play'em so I decided to teach myself music. The biggest early challenge was reading music. I'm sure it would have been easier if a mathematician had been involved in designing the notation system. To teach myself I decided that reading sheet music and transcribing it into the computer would be a good way of doing it.

  • Interview Matthias Juwan
    Studio One inventor Matthias Juwan in conversation Created by Lukas Ruschitzka When I learned about the »new« DAW for the first time at the Musikmesse 2009, I still had no idea what would connect me to this software over the next 10 years. One year later, in the summer of 2010, I had version 1 on the hard drive and star- ted producing my first song with Studio One. Now - almost a decade and hundreds of Studio One projects later - I did not miss the opportunity to ask Matthias Juwan, Studio One mastermind and CTO at Pre- Sonus Software a few questions about the creation and development of Studio One. In doing so, I have incorporated both my own questions and questions that have arisen in the RECORDING.de forum in recent years. I hope you enjoy reading the unabridged interview with Matthias Juwan! Matthias, Studio One will be 10 years old this year! In 2009 everyone was wonde- ring what they needed a new DAW for. Meanwhile, Studio One has become indispensable in the DAW market. What was the trigger for you to program the first prototype of Studio One? Everything started for me a few years earlier. When I released my 16-track freeware sequencer Kristal Audio Engine in 2004, there was a lot of positive feedback from the internet community and the press, and I decided to work on a more professional suc- cessor. The project ran for two years in my spare time in addition to the job as a soft- ware developer at Steinberg under the code name K2.

  • What Is a DAW? What Is a DAW?
    2021/07/26 16:00 (UTC) 1/2 What is a DAW? What is a DAW? In simple terms, a Digital Audio Workstation is a device where you create and manipulate digital audio. Before the era of personal computing, a DAW would be a complex piece of (expensive) hardware which was only within reach of music studios or artists of name and fame. A good example of an early DAW is the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument), released in the late 70’s of the previous century. This Fairlight was also one of the first to offer a digital sampler. The picture at the left of this page is its monitor with a light-pen input. These days, the name “DAW” is often used for the actual software used to produce music, like the free Ardour, LMMS, or the commercial Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Pro Tools, etcetera. But “Digital Audio Workstation” also applies to the computer on which this software is running and whose software and hardware is tailored to the task of creating music. To make it easier for musicians who use Linux, you can find a number of custom distributions with a focus on making electronic music, such as StudioWare (Slackware based), AV Linux (Debian based), QStudio64 (Mint based), so that you do not have to spend a lot of time configuring your Operating System and toolkits. Overview of DAW related content Page Description Tags Slackware Live DAW: Compensating Latency Overview of Slackware Live Latency and its Sources Audio data is moved in “chunks”, howtos, DAW: called buffers, which contain a number of audio samples.

  • A Survey of Some Virtual Reality Tools and Resources
    2 A Survey of Some Virtual Reality Tools and Resources Moses Okechukwu Onyesolu, Ignatius Ezeani and Obikwelu Raphael Okonkwo Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State Nigeria 1. Introduction Virtual Reality (VR) technology enables users to interact with three-dimensional data, providing a potentially powerful interface to both static and dynamic information (Ausburn & Ausburn, 2003; Ausburn & Ausburn, 2004; Baieier, 1993; Onyesolu, 2011; Onyesolu & Eze, 2011). VR has existed in various forms since its inception. It has been known by names such as synthetic environment, cyberspace, artificial reality, simulator technology and so on and so forth before VR was eventually adopted (Onyesolu, 2006; Onyesolu & Eze, 2011). Though VR has existed from the late 1960s, its latest manifestation, desktop screen-based semi- immersive type which made its first appearance in entertainment industry, has made it come within the realm of possibility for general creation and use. As a result of proliferation of desktop VR, the technology has continued to develop applications that are less than fully immersive. These non-immersive VR applications are far less expensive and technically daunting and have made inroads into industry training and development. There have been a lot of advances in VR and VR is being applied in all areas of human endeavor (Onyesolu, 2009a; Onyesolu, 2009b; Onyesolu & Eze, 2011; Onyesolu, 2006). Many VR applications have been developed for manufacturing, training in a variety of areas (military, medical, equipment operation, etc.), education, simulation, design evaluation, architectural walk-through, ergonomic studies, simulation of assembly sequences and maintenance tasks, assistance for the handicapped, study and treatment of phobias, entertainment, rapid prototyping and much more (Onyesolu & Akpado, 2009).
