  • The Audio Mixing Console First Course, Fourth Grading Period, Week One
    How To Run A Board: The Audio Mixing Console First course, Fourth grading period, Week one The mixing console at a radio station or production/recording studio can be an intimidating sight. Some have even looked at it and said, “Gosh, you must be able to fl y the Space Shuttle if you can work that!” In truth, a mixing console is a very basic piece of equipment. When broken down to its component parts, it is quite an easy beast to tame. What we will do in this lesson is start from the ground up, working with one element of the mixing desk, and then move on to put together the rest of the puzzle with the other elements. Soon after, we will move towards a more hands-on approach, allowing students to use the console in ways that are important and necessary to the industry. Whether they decide to pursue a career in broadcasting, journalism or engineering, students will discover just how vital a piece of equipment this is in any of the above professions. This lesson is provided by Brian Jarbow, NPR engineer. Enduring Understanding The ability to understand how a mixing console is used is essential in broadcasting, journalism or engineering. Essential Questions How does a mixing console work? How does the signal pass through it? How is it useful in mixing pieces for broadcast? Objectives and Outcomes • Students will be able to route a signal through the console. • Students will be able to route multiple sources to mix and control several signals happening at one time.

  • The Future of Audio
    The Future of Audio ■Audio is a cultural treasure nurtured over many years Ever since the dawn of audio technology, there is an ongoing debate whether the sound of audio equipment should be as transparent as possible or display a characteristic of its own, much like a musical instrument. Whichever side of this argument one favors, it is a fact that the reproduction chain from the microphone to the loudspeaker has come a long way. The accumulation of technology has made it possible to increasingly eliminate colorization, resulting in the sound that we have today. But this fact notwithstanding, there is practically no speaker that sounds exactly like another, nor is one amplifier exactly the same as another. Even products using digital technology have their own particular sonic characteristics. Audio technology has evolved to a very sophisticated level. However, the sound of two pieces of equipment may differ, even if their measurement data are the same. This indicates that measurement technology has not yet advanced to duplicate the full depth of human sensory perception. This uncharted territory is where the joy and creativity of audio is born. Paradoxically, the ideal state of audio equipment is one where the equipment itself disappears, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the music. With regard to an amplifier, this means stepping up the level of the recorded signal and correctly delivering it to the loudspeakers without introducing distortion. However, this is easier said than done, and so far the only means of determining whether the speakers are being correctly driven by the amplifier is a subjective evaluation by listening to the sound.

  • 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.

  • Vi Processor™ Card
    Vi Processor™ Card General The Vi Processor™ Card fitted to the Soundcraft Vi Series™ contains 8 powerful LEXICON® Effects Processing Units and 35 high-quality BSS® 30-band Graphic Equalisers. LEXICON® Effects Each Effects Unit can be inserted into any Output/Main Master bus or into any Input Channel, or it can be patched as an FX Return to an Input Channel, fed from an Aux send. Each FX Unit supports up to 30 different professional LEXICON® Effects. Effect Parameters can be easily changed via the VST Screens at a location on the Surface corresponding to where the FX is inserted or patched. Additionally, the Parameters can be viewed and changed in the FX Overview Page in the main menu. All Parameters from the 8 Effects Units and for all Effects Type are stored in the desk Snapshots. BSS® Graphic Equalisers The 35 BSS® 30-band Graphic Equalizers are permanently assigned to the 32 Output Busses and the three Main Masters. All Parameters from the GEQs are stored in the desk Snapshots. LEXICON® Effects Format Depending on the selected Effect Type, the FX processor works internally in one of three formats: The FX processor always has Stereo Inputs and Outputs. If the FX Type needs only a Mono Input, the Left and Right Input Signal are summed together. If the FX Type outputs only a Mono Signal then the Output Signal is distributed to both the Left and Right Outputs. The MIX Parameter adjusts the ratio between the original (dry) signal and the effects (wet) signal. Figure 21-1: FX Processor Configurations.
