  • Implementing a Parametric EQ Plug-In in C++ Using the Multi-Platform VST Specification
    2003:044 C EXTENDED ESSAY Implementing a parametric EQ plug-in in C++ using the multi-platform VST specification JONAS EKEROOT SCHOOL OF MUSIC Audio Technology Supervisor: Jan Berg 2003:044 • ISSN: 1402 – 1773 • ISRN: LTU - CUPP - - 03/44 - - SE Implementing a parametric EQ plug-in in C++ using the multi-platform VST specification Jonas Ekeroot Division of Sound Recording School of Music in Pite˚a Lule˚aUniversity of Technology April 23, 2003 Abstract As the processing power of desktop computer systems increase by every year, more and more real-time audio signal processing is per- formed on such systems. What used to be done in external effects units, e.g. adding reverb, can now be accomplished within the com- puter system using signal processing code modules – plug-ins. This thesis describes the development of a peak/notch parametric EQ VST plug-in. First a prototype was made in the graphical audio program- ming environment Max/MSP on MacOS, and then a C++ implemen- tation was made using the VST Software Development Kit. The C++ source code was compiled on both Windows and MacOS, resulting in versions of the plug-in that can be used in any VST host application on Windows and MacOS respectively. Writing a plug-in relieves the programmer of the burden to deal directly with audio interface details and graphical user interface specifics, since this is taken care of by the host application. It can thus be an interesting way to start developing audio DSP algorithms, since the host application also provides the op- portunity to listen to and measure the performance of the implemented plug-in algorithm.

  • 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.

  • Manual for the Timefreezer Instrument Introduction
    Manual for the TimeFreezer instrument Introduction - The Idea of Time Freezing Infinite sound... Did you ever want to stop a sound just like a snapshot, so that it stays forever, without looping effects and without sounding like a synthesizer? I found a solution. Here it is: the TimeFreezer that freezes all kind of audio material and plays with it. Manual for the TimeFreezer instrument Analysis and Resynthese. Searching in all available Plugins and software in the world I couldn´t find a tool that provides this in such high quality. I found a way of making an analysis of the sound and resynthesis that sounds so near to the original. And it is fast: depending on your system you will get a response within a few miliseconds. Manual for the TimeFreezer instrument Two versions of TimeFreezer: The first version is an instrument that browses through a sound file. You can see the wave, place your cursor on a moment and immediately hear what it sounds like. After you can manipulate it with basic parameters like pitch, volume, bandpass filter, denoiser and the analysis size. The second is a life effect. Instead of reading from a file it analyses the sound input of whatever you feed it with. This can be again any kind of audio material, like an instrument, a noise, a full orchestra or a sound scape of your choice. The description of this effect is here. Manual for the TimeFreezer instrument The software realisation is now made with the VST technology from Steinberg. This means that it is a plugin that you can use in every host that supports VST.

  • An Ambisonics-Based VST Plug-In for 3D Music Production
    POLITECNICO DI MILANO Scuola di Ingegneria dell'Informazione POLO TERRITORIALE DI COMO Master of Science in Computer Engineering An Ambisonics-based VST plug-in for 3D music production. Supervisor: Prof. Augusto Sarti Assistant Supervisor: Dott. Salvo Daniele Valente Master Graduation Thesis by: Daniele Magliozzi Student Id. number 739404 Academic Year 2010-2011 POLITECNICO DI MILANO Scuola di Ingegneria dell'Informazione POLO TERRITORIALE DI COMO Corso di Laurea Specialistica in Ingegneria Informatica Plug-in VST per la produzione musicale 3D basato sulla tecnologia Ambisonics. Relatore: Prof. Augusto Sarti Correlatore: Dott. Salvo Daniele Valente Tesi di laurea di: Daniele Magliozzi Matr. 739404 Anno Accademico 2010-2011 To me Abstract The importance of sound in virtual reality and multimedia systems has brought to the definition of today's 3DA (Tridimentional Audio) techniques allowing the creation of an immersive virtual sound scene. This is possible virtually placing audio sources everywhere in the space around a listening point and reproducing the sound-filed they generate by means of suitable DSP methodologies and a system of two or more loudspeakers. The latter configuration defines multichannel reproduction tech- niques, among which, Ambisonics Surround Sound exploits the concept of spherical harmonics sound `sampling'. The intent of this thesis has been to develop a software tool for music production able to manage more source signals to virtually place them everywhere in a (3D) space surrounding a listening point em- ploying Ambisonics technique. The developed tool, called AmbiSound- Spazializer belong to the plugin software category, i.e. an expantion of already existing software that play the role of host. I Sommario L'aspetto sonoro, nella simulazione di realt`avirtuali e nei sistemi multi- mediali, ricopre un ruolo fondamentale.

  • Music Scoring for Film Using Fruity Loops Studio
    E3S Web of Conferences 188, 00004 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202018800004 ICESTI 2019 Music Scoring for Film Using Fruity Loops Studio Arsya Febrian1, Hestiasari Rante1, Sritrusta Sukaridhoto1, and Akhmad Alimudin2 1Department of Creative Multimedia Technology, Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya, Jl. Raya ITS-Sukolilo, Surabaya, East Java, 60111 Indonesia 2Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology, Tempaku, Toyohashi 441-8580, Japan Abstract. Making music for a film can be said to be quite challenging for some people with the necessity that music can evoke the atmosphere in the film. Determination and placement of audio aspects into visual form are things done in the music scoring process. Of course, it will be very inconvenient and inefficient when making music must be through recording instruments manually through the studio. As technology develops in the world of music production, making music for films can now be made using only a computer. This can happen thanks to the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software. Nowadays, various types of DAW are emerging, including one that is quite well known, Fruity Loops Studio or commonly called FL Studio. This study aims to find out how the music scoring process for a film using FL Studio, as a reference for making music for films. Keywords: Digital audio workstation, instrument, music for film, music production, soundtrack. 1 Introduction Determination and placement of audio aspects into visual form are things done in the music scoring process [1]. Scores are original music written specifically for individual films. Sometimes called soundtracks, movie scores can be extremely recognizable.
