Review PC Interfaces Under Windows: Measurement and Control Using Standard Ports / Elektor Electronics Publishing:While it was relatively easy to directly access PC interfaces using a DOS computer, under Windows things are not all that simple. This book shows you how it can be done. The construction and operation of programs and circuits for the following applications are extensively described: control circuits; measurement equipment; analogue/digital converters; EPROM programmer; storage oscilloscope; l2C applications; making measurements with the Sound card; making measurements with a video capture card; asynchronous serial data transmission; and many more. In addition to exact, practically oriented descriptions of the traditional PC interfaces (what can they do and how they are addressed via software), the authors describe the DIY construction and programming of a number of highly interesting circuits, all of which can be connected to the PC ports. It is not necessary to open up the PC for any of these projects. The applications described in this book are based on 32-bit operating systems (Windows 95/98 and later). The preferred programming languages are Visual Basic and Delphi. The CD-ROM contains all the example programs in VB5, Delphi 3 or 4, with all source files in executable forms. PORT. DLL is also included. [+]In addition, there are two complete application programs: COMPUNI. EXE (a universal interface application program) and SSCAN. EXE (a complete oscilloscope application for the sound card).

Review Computers in Music Education: Amplifying Musicality / Routledge:Computers in Music Education: Amplifying Musicality addresses the question of how computer technologies might best assist music education. Aimed at current and preservice music teachers and designed to be a basic teaching text, it addresses issues from pedagogy through using computers to aid production and presentation of students' musical works, as well as implementing a computer-aided program in the classroom. Computing technology has been rapidly changing, particularly when it comes to the field of music. From notation software to MIDI sound creation, from downloading music from the web for study and enjoyment to posting personal MP3s for mass distribution, the world of computers has transformed how we perform and learn about music. This book, written by a music educator and digital media specialist, cuts through the jargon to present a concise, easy-to-digest overview of the field, with practical suggestions spread throughout. While there are many more technical books, few offer a comprehensive, understandable overview of the field. Computers in Music Education: Amplifying Musicality addresses this need, and will be the standard text for the growing number of courses in this important area.

Review Critical Listening Skills for Audio Professionals / Artistpro:Audio productions are made or broken by the quality of the recording engineer's ears. The ability to properly discern sounds, identify subtle problems, and act accordingly to apply the necessary fix makes all the difference in the quality of the final tracks and master. The good news is that these crucial skills can be learned. The ability to instantly identify frequencies, hear hidden distortions, and instinctively reconcile conflicts in the EQ of instruments, audio elements, vocals and more are traits of those who have mastered the art of audio production. The best engineers have trained their ears to immediately recognize audio problems that the consumer and those new to recording arts would likely not hear, but that, if left unresolved, would result in an amateurish final product. For more than two decades, students of F. Alton Everest's Critical Listening and Auditory Perception courses have rapidly developed these skills by using the intense lessons found in this book and on the CD. Unfortunately the books and CDs included with the course were usually too expensive for aspiring engineers to purchase and were often available only in colleges, universities, or school libraries. Now for the first time these indispensable training sessions are available with this release of Critical Listening Skills for Audio Professionals. Through hundreds of illustrations and an accompanying disc containing high-resolution MP3 files with nearly five hours of narration of the entire course, you can acquire the audio discernment skills of a seasoned recording engineer by studying this course at your own pace, in your own home.
