  • Developing Sound Spatialization Tools for Musical Applications with Emphasis on Sweet Spot and Off-Center Perception

    Developing Sound Spatialization Tools for Musical Applications with Emphasis on Sweet Spot and Off-Center Perception

    Sweet [re]production: Developing sound spatialization tools for musical applications with emphasis on sweet spot and off-center perception Nils Peters Music Technology Area Department of Music Research Schulich School of Music McGill University Montreal, QC, Canada October 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. c 2010 Nils Peters 2010/10/26 i Abstract This dissertation investigates spatial sound production and reproduction technology as a mediator between music creator and listener. Listening experiments investigate the per- ception of spatialized music as a function of the listening position in surround-sound loud- speaker setups. Over the last 50 years, many spatial sound rendering applications have been developed and proposed to artists. Unfortunately, the literature suggests that artists hardly exploit the possibilities offered by novel spatial sound technologies. Another typical drawback of many sound rendering techniques in the context of larger audiences is that most listeners perceive a degraded sound image: spatial sound reproduction is best at a particular listening position, also known as the sweet spot. Structured in three parts, this dissertation systematically investigates both problems with the objective of making spatial audio technology more applicable for artistic purposes and proposing technical solutions for spatial sound reproductions for larger audiences. The first part investigates the relationship between composers and spatial audio tech- nology through a survey on the compositional use of spatialization, seeking to understand how composers use spatialization, what spatial aspects are essential and what functionali- ties spatial audio systems should strive to include. The second part describes the development process of spatializaton tools for musical applications and presents a technical concept.

Choos- ing just one from the variety of radio models is a challenge! The • Manufacturer’s Directory good news is that most commercially manufactured Amateur Radio equipment performs the basics very well, so you shouldn’t be overly concerned about a “wrong” choice of brands or models. This guide is intended to help you make sense of common features and decide which are most important to you. We provide explanations and defini- tions, along with what a particular feature might mean to you on the air. This publication is aimed at the new Technician licensee ready to acquire a first radio, a licensee recently upgraded to General Class and wanting to explore HF, or someone getting back into ham radio after a period of inactivity. A technical background is not needed to understand the material. ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION After this introduction and a “Quick Start” guide, there are two main sections; one cov- ering gear for the VHF and UHF bands and one for HF band equipment. You’ll encounter a number of terms and abbreviations--watch for italicized words—so two glossaries are provided; one for the VHF/UHF section and one for the HF section. You’ll be comfortable with these terms by the time you’ve finished reading! We assume that you’ll be buying commercial equipment and accessories as new gear.

    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Ototheatre: Learning to Listen and Perform in Sonically Augmented Spaces A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Theatre and Drama By Lauren R. Beck EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 © Copyright by Lauren R. Beck 2017 All Rights Reserved 3 Abstract Ototheatre: Learning to Listen and Perform in Sonically Augmented Spaces Lauren R. Beck This dissertation explores a form of performance I call “ototheatre,” which is a mobile and participatory audience experience executed with portable sound technology. Ototheatre is an emergent artistic form that sits at a convergence of contemporary technologies and audience consumption habits. Case studies, including smartphone applications and new theatrical works incorporating novel uses of sound technology, reveal the antecedents and characteristics of this form of theatre. I explore the methods by which these works create intimate, interactive theatrical experiences that extend modes of audience experience. Podcasts are a new media practice that have multiple theatrical antecedents and ototheatrical potential. I analyze a particularly theatrical podcast, choreographer Hofesh Shechter’s Everyday Moments, to show new possibilities for individual modes of performance scripted by podcast artists for solo listening. I trace a genealogy that includes the théâtrophone, radio drama, and the downloadable podcast to demonstrate how the recorded voice has long been creating remote theatrical experiences for audiences through the use of mediatized sound technology. While radio has been called a “theatre of the mind,” I argue that podcasts can create an intimate, post-humanistic theatre of the body. I examine artistic sound works that are related to the audio tour to explore ways of mapping space with sound.

    Two‐Way Radio Week 42

    52 Weeks of Preparedness – Two‐way Radio Week 42 By Don Gardner Clearwater County Office of Emergency Management Can you imagine how you will communicate with your family during an emergency when no cell phones are working? Could this even happen? Yes, it can, and it has, even here in Clearwater County. When disasters occur, the public often loses several means of communicating all at once. If you remember during the fires of 2015 the cell phone system was overloaded and many landlines didn’t work. First responders rely on two‐way radios daily and when disasters strike, and so can we. The are many times you can use two‐way radios with your family and friend like during a disaster, or, more commonly, when camping, hunting, during ATV and snowmobile adventures, and between cars when traveling. It may seem like an old fashion technology, but it is so reliable. There are many types of radios you can use and each provides different capacities and expense. Today we will cover four varieties that could work for you. Family Radio Service (FRS) and the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios are low‐power, inexpensive handheld ‘walkie talkies,’ which can be used for short‐distance communications. Most of these radios are sold as a combo sets with both the FRS and GMRS channels in one radio. You will find them in the sporting goods section of stores. The packages often exaggerates and say they will work for 20‐50 miles or more. Generally, the actual range of FRS/GMRS radios will be significantly less than advertised.

    Walkie Talkies) for Car Trip Coordination

    16 May 2011 5 April 2009 How to Buy Two Way Radios (Walkie Talkies) For Car Trip Coordination This paper attempts to give some general guidelines as to which radios are suitable for organized group car trips. Walkie Talkies are very useful for keeping a group of cars together on a road trip. Two types are commonly used, Family Radio Service (FRS) and General Mobile Radio Service) GMRS. They will work together. FRS and GMRS both share FRS/GMRS Channels 1 through 7. FRS radios are limited to ½ Watt transmitting power and GMRS radios operating on channels 1 through 7 are limited to 5 Watts power. Inexpensive GMRS radios are typically 2 to 5 Watts, but radio quality is more important than rated power so don't base you decision on power alone. FRS radios do not require an FCC license. GMRS radio users are supposed to buy an FCC license, however, “Estimates of the number of hybrid FRS/GMRS radios sold to date range from 20 to 50 million units or more. This is compared with approximately 80,000 active GMRS licensees (per the FCC database).” (1) Let your conscience be your guide. Expect to pay $30 to $60 for a pair of decent quality Walkie Talkies at a store like Fry’s Electronics. Motorola, Uniden, Midland and Cobra are all established brands that for the most part have adequate products. Based on group member’s recent experiences, some Motorola’s seem to have clearer sound than other radios. The radios that LHSCG purchased in 2011 are Motorola MR350R, $51 a pair at Amazon.com.
