Room Acoustics (Heinrich Kuttruff)

Room Acoustics (Heinrich Kuttruff)
PDF - 389 Pages - 7.03 MB

Since publication of the first edition in 1973, this professional and scientific reference has become the standard work in the field, providing detailed analysis of the state of the art in room acoustics.

It outlines the theory and practice of sound behaviour in enclosed spaces. Particular emphasis is given to the properties and calculation of reverberation, the most obvious acoustical feature of a closed room. Further key topics include the mechanisms of sound absorption and psychoacoustical factors, from which design parameters and figures of merit are derived. Two chapters are devoted to practical questions such as measurement techniques and the procedures of room acoustical design. The interaction between a room's acoustic properties and its electroacoustic systems is also considered, and refined systems for optimizing listening conditions in a room are presented.

This edition includes a new list of symbols, and updated sections include the measurement of the impulse response including a discussion of distortions, sound propagation as a diffusive process and scattering by wall irregularities.

La Guía Orquesal de Computer Music

La Guía Orquesal de Computer Music
Spanish - PDF, Mp3, Midis - 11.5 MB

No es ningún secreto que la mayor parte de los contenidos de cm se centran en la música hecha con sintes, samplers, guitarras, baterías, bajos, voces y otras fuentes de sonido “contemporáneas”. Sin embargo, últimamente se ha progresado mucho en lo referente a colecciones de samples y ROMplers orquestales, permitiendo a cualquiera reunir, de forma efectiva, una orquesta completa dentro de su PC o Mac...pero tanta potencia requiere cierto grado de responsabilidad: no se trata de meter sonidos orquestales al tuntún. Hablamos de una colección de instrumentos orgánicos bastante compleja, que necesita ciertas reglas para ser aprovechada al máximo. ¡Si no te lo crees pregúntale a Mozart!
Teniendo esto en cuenta, estamos orgullosos de presentarte la guía orquestal de cm. Primero consideraremos cada instrumento de forma individual para entender cómo funciona por sí solo, antes de pasar a su uso en secciones y de forma combinada.
Finalmente montaremos un par de piezas completas. Esto te ayudará a utilizar tus samples
De ningún modo queremos dar a entender que una colección de samples –por muy sofisticada que sea– puede igualar la sutileza, grandiosidad y presencia de una orquesta real, pero puede acercarse. Tampoco vamos a utilizar una colección de samples demasiado completa, limitándonos a la de la librería Orquester Sound Bank de Reason, que es barata y accesible. Si no tienes Reason, no te preocupes. Todo lo que encontrarás aquí se puede cargar en cualquier sampler. Todos los ejemplos MP3 del archivo de apoyo se grabaron directamente desde Reason sin ningún procesado añadido y (a excepción de uno) sólo utilizamos patches de orquestales de forma efectiva, a la vez que te dará una buena base por si alguna vez tienes la oportunidad de ponerte a trabajar con una orquesta de verdad.Orquester Sound.

"The definitive work on mastering...an indispensable resource for anyone working with audio... If you only buy one book on audio, this has to be it - it should be required reading for anyone involved with recording, producing or mastering music."
Sound on Sound magazine

"Mastering Audio is one of those rare books where everything comes together perfectly: great information, beautifully presented, easy to understand, and satisfying to read." --Greg Simmons
Editorial Director, AudioTechnology magazine

"The first piece of equipment [you] should buy is Bob Katz's Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science." --Roger Nichols

"This book is sure to become the 'Industry Bible' on mastering audio. Highly recommended."
Christopher Hambly, www.audiocourses.com

"A terrific book... Bob Katz clearly knows his subject inside out and is a patient, enthusiastic teacher... The things I have learned in this book will immediately affect the way I work with audio right from recording, to editing, mixing and, of course, mastering."
Amazon.co.uk customer review

"...all you wanted to know about mastering in a well-written volume."
Lighting and Sound Magazine

"...what sets this book apart is the liberal inclusion of practical tips, real-world experiences, and knowledge gained from others during the course of a career dedicated pretty much to mastering. It is one of those rare books that manages to be authoritative without being didactic, and clearly indentifies opinions as opposed to verifiable facts...Even if you already do mastering, this book will help you do it better. And if you anticipate getting into mastering - start here."
EQ magazine

I'm Not Crazy, I'm Vocalizing by Karen Oleson

I'm Not Crazy, I'm Vocalizing by Karen Oleson
MP3 - 64kbps - 17.6 MB

This fun warm-up CD kit is definitely a departure from the others we've seen. It includes a CD, with very succinct (as in less than a minute each) "lessons" followed by accompanied exercises that let you practice the concepts learned. The CD plays them through twice - once with a vocalist singing them with the accompaniment (20 minutes), and then again with accompaniment ONLY (20 minutes). The musical examples are complete songs, incorporating traditional (and not-so-traditional) vocal excersises, demonstrating techniques like legato vs. staccato, humming into "the mask," singing octaves and more. Each exercise is done in a different style of music, which adds to the variety and fun of this collection. Enhance any vocal training program!
