Keyboard Cathy - "LIVE AT THE SIDEWALK CAFE" NOW OUT ON CDBABY & iTUNES - Bio It’s funny how a single movie can inspire us to pursue our dreams. “Keyboard Cathy” Wiegand wandered into the 2005 film adaptation of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and walked out not itching to travel through space, but humming “So Long & Thanks for All the Fish,” the whimsical end credits song by Irish singer Neil Hannon—who just so happens to be the frontman of one of her favorite groups, The Divine Comedy. The versatile singer/songwriter had performed at live benefits for years and had amassed a large catalog of instrumentals in her Roland E-600, but that fish song—and her lifelong love of sushi—led “Keyboard Cathy” to dust off her dreams and record her clever, quirky, sublimely melodic debut indie album Inspiration in 2006. Her irresistible new seven song EP Sushi Lover features “So Long & Thanks For All The Fish” (in case you missed it the first time!) She grew up singing in high school and community theatre musicals, so there’s a certain theatricality to it.
Make and Mix a Running 16th-note Bassline In this tutorial, we're going to learn how to make and mix a “running” 16th-note bassline. You'll hear this in countless dance genres such as techno and even breaks, but it's become synonymous with trance over the years. Note: this article contains embedded audio that will not display in a feed reader. Step 1 Here's a basic pattern on a nice synth tone: as you can hear, this doesn't need to be a mind-blowing patch, but something with some top end “rasp” as well as a bit of body is really useful for this kind of sound. Here, I've positioned the notes to keep them out of the way of the 4/4 kick. Step 2 Note velocity is sent to the filter cutoff on this patch, so it's nice and easy to give each individual note its own cutoff value. Step 3 It's time to beef up the sound itself, so we'll grab an instance of PSP VintageWarmer 2. Common tweaks with this preset are reducing the Mix balance and cutting the amount of Low boost. Also, adjust the limiting to taste. Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Final Thoughts
Side Chain Compression, Sidechaining Sidechain Compression Tutorial, Sidechaining, SSS Side Chain Compressor. The whole french house scene is practically defined by a signature sound. While the music itself is very different, every track seems to have this really loud sound. To follow this lesson you will need: A VST Host (e.g. What Does Sidechaining Do? Sidechaining takes one sound and uses it to manipulate another sound. This tutorial is going to demonstrate ducking using a sidechaining compressor. Listen to the horns in the Daft Punk sample. Now go grab any french house record from the last eight years. How Does Sidechaining Work? Sidechaining really just means feeding sound into an effect that works on some other sound. So, what does a Side Chain Compressor actually do anyway? Now that you know how it works, it’s time to do it yourself. Setting Up the Audio Tracks First you need to prepare two audio tracks to feed into the compressor. Click here to download a ZIP file containing two WAV audio files. Conclusion Matt Sonic
Dither Dither is an intentionally applied form of noise used to randomize quantization error, preventing large-scale patterns such as color banding in images. Dither is routinely used in processing of both digital audio and digital video data, and is often one of the last analog stages of audio production to compact disc. A typical use of dither is: given an image in grey-scale, convert it to black and white, such that the density of black dots in the new image approximates the average level of grey in the original image. Etymology[edit] …[O]ne of the earliest [applications] of dither came in World War II. The term "dither" was published in books on analog computation and hydraulically controlled guns shortly after the war.[2][3] The concept of dithering to reduce quantization patterns was first applied by Lawrence G. In digital processing and waveform analysis[edit] Digital audio[edit] There are multiple ways to do this. If these values are truncated it results in the following data: Usage[edit]
Music Theory This book discusses tonal music theory, specifically of the common practice period onwards, including jazz, blues, rock, and other modern styles. It focuses mostly on Western (i.e., Western European, Euro-American, and Afro-American) styles, however, all styles of music are discussed. Common Practice Styles Fundamentals of Common Practice Music Tones, overtones, and harmonics Basics Beyond the Basics Harmony Modal Harmony Modes Modern Styles Styles in the Western Classical Tradition Traditional and Folk styles Composing Further Reading Appendices Sound in the Digital Domain Sound in the Digital Domain Digital systems (e.g. computers) and formats (e.g. CD) are clearly the most popular and commonplace methods of storing and manipulating audio. Since the introduction of the compact disc in the early 1980's, the digital format has provided increasingly greater storage capacity and the ability to store audio information at an acceptable quality. Storage. Digital <-> Analogue Conversion[edit] Acoustic information (sound waves) are treated as signals. Figure 2.1. Digital data stored in this way has no real physical meaning; one could describe a song on a computer as just an array of numbers; these numbers are meaningless unless there exists within the system a process that can interpret each number in sequence appropriately. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Although the signal at each stage comes in a different form (sound energy, digital values etc.), the information is analogous. Sampling[edit] Figure 2.2.

Play ‘Round, mother plucker “Basics” After getting the code, you'll want to build it. Try this:(um...works best on a Mac w/ coder stuff installed) $ make You'll want to run it. $ . After starting, you'll see a canvas. You'll want to start with a round pad. Now that you have a round pad try dragging around inside of it. Strings make sound when plucked (duh). Tracks are directional paths that let you bend time to your will. Connect tracks by starting or ending your dragging on an existing track's end points. The last piece of the puzzle is connections between pads. Deleting Oh no, you've drawn something that's a terrible mistake! Collaborate Sharing is caring. Let's talk networking; specifically, the peer-to-peer kind. Consider the command from before: With this you're actually saying which peer you want to connect to first — the "bootstrap peer" ("localhost" above) — and also the port you want to listen to ("20202" above). $ . Now what? Express Yourself Annotate pads by hovering over their centers and typing a message.
