Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Audio recordings are the calling card with which musicians share and promote their work so a knowledge of recording techniques and technologies is essential to the 21st century musician. Recording On a Budget provides a comprehensive introduction to the recording arts from a budget-conscious perspective. Written by a professional musician and educator, this book is idea for musicians, educators, music students, songwriters and hobbyists. A central theme of the book is that it is possible to make quality recordings with a modest selection of recording tools. Chapters cover the selection and use of all of the components of a project studio including microphones, mixer, computer, digital audio workstation software, and signal processors. Additional chapters provide a solid foundation in acoustics, audio recording, podcasting, mixing and mastering. The final chapter of the book features do-it-yourself projects that can be completed with a modest selection of tools. Most musicians have developed their ears to a high level so a special focus is placed on the development of recording technique through experimentation and the application of critical listening skills. The book is supported by an online resource of nearly 250 audio excerpts detailing all of the primary topics of the book. Recording on a Budget is ideal for:· Musicians who are interested in recording a quality CD or demo· Choir, orchestra, and band directors who want to record vocal or instrumental ensemble· Student performers and composers who wish to record a performance or produce their own music· Bands interested in recording live concerts or recording an album in a home studio· Videographers interested in recording location sound, voice-overs or music· Songwriters who wish to produce a quality demo· Podcasters and ALL who want to make quality recordings without spending fortunes on equipment.Readers will learn · to cut budget corners without sacrificing audio quality· to choose the right microphone for the job (and where to place it) · to assemble an equipment rack, mixing desk, and speakers stand· to avoid common mistakes · And to be creative and have fun with recording technology Visit the companion website at www.oup.com/us/recordingonabudget for free selection of sample recordings!

Open-source technologies have created new expressive opportunities by expanding the creative music palette into the realm of circuits and source code, democratizing the line between design and creative application. Sound & Music Projects for Eurorack & Beyond explores the intersection of music, computer science, and electronics in the context of Eurorack, a popular framework for mounting and interconnecting modular synthesizers. This book provides a practical path for musicians and other artists to envision and build custom electronic instruments using freely available software and a modest collection of tools and electronic components. Hands-on projects are based on Teensy microcontrollers, a category of USB-based devices that are easy to program for a variety of music and sound-design applications including music synthesis, digital signal processing, and the Musical Instrument Digital Interface. Mini projects include a genetic step sequencer, interactive arpeggiator, custom effects unit, and synthesizers based on several typologies including frequency modulation, subtractive, additive, and granular synthesis. Sound & Music Projects for Eurorack & Beyond is comprised of four sections that explore music synthesis and digital signal processing, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, Eurorack concepts, and Eurorack projects. The text culminates with several custom Eurorack modules including an audio mixer, audio effects unit, MIDI to control-voltage converter and Eurorack synthesizer. Throughout the book, readers will develop relevant skills including microcontroller programming, circuit design, PCB design, and instrument fabrication in a building-block fashion that fosters experimentation and creative application.

Arduino, Teensy, and related microcontrollers provide a virtually limitless range of creative opportunities for musicians and hobbyists who are interested in exploring "do it yourself" technologies. Given the relative ease of use and low cost of the Arduino platform, electronic musicians can now envision new ways of synthesizing sounds and interacting with music-making software. In Arduino for Musicians, author and veteran music instructor Brent Edstrom opens the door to exciting and expressive instruments and control systems that respond to light, touch, pressure, breath, and other forms of real-time control. He provides a comprehensive guide to the underlying technologies enabling electronic musicians and technologists to tap into the vast creative potential of the platform. Arduino for Musicians presents relevant concepts, including basic circuitry and programming, in a building-block format that is accessible to musicians and other individuals who enjoy using music technology. In addition to comprehensive coverage of music-related concepts including direct digital synthesis, audio input and output, and the Music Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), the book concludes with four projects that build on the concepts presented throughout the book. The projects, which will be of interest to many electronic musicians, include a MIDI breath controller with pitch and modulation joystick, "retro" step sequencer, custom digital/analog synthesizer, and an expressive MIDI hand drum. Throughout Arduino for Musicians, Edstrom emphasizes the convenience and accessibility of the equipment as well as the extensive variety of instruments it can inspire. While circuit design and programming are in themselves formidable topics, Edstrom introduces their core concepts in a practical and straightforward manner that any reader with a background or interest in electronic music can utilize. Musicians and hobbyists at many levels, from those interested in creating new electronic music devices, to those with experience in synthesis or processing software, will welcome Arduino for Musicians.
