a mixer for audio mixing. They do come in various channel capacity i.e. 8 channels, 12 channels, 14 channels type
Choosing the Best Sound Format for Production There are many issues facing an audio professional who is considering getting into surround production, either for music, film, DVD, Internet, or multi-media. Whether you are recording, mixing, editing, or mastering, there is a lot of information that you need to be comfortable with before you can succeed in surround sound. Although this collection is a good start, it is by no means an exhaustive list or in-depth manual. Hopefully it will give you a
6. Practical Applications of PM and FM 1. Radio Transmitting Radio is device that use technology of using radio waves to transfer information, such as sound, by using the properties of electromagnetic energy waves transmitted through space, such as their phase, amplitude, frequency, or pulse width. If radio waves passing an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. The information in the waves can be get back into its original form. Radio

It will also discuss compression and compression formats such as Lossless and Lossy and files such as FLAC and ALAC History of Codecs: Equipment The history of audio recording first started on 6th December 1877 when Thomas Edison made the very first recording of a human voice singing Mary had a little lamb “on the first tinfoil cylinder phonograph” (Schoenherr, 2005). Later that month John Kruesi built the first

Philips and Sony proposed the Compact Disc Digital Audio standard (CD-DA) which was coded in the so-called Red Book [Philips and Sony Corporation, 1991]. The development of this technique revolutionized the audio world by introducing truly digital technology for the first time. It was in the year 1982 that Philips and Sony launched the first players and discs on the market. The CD became the music carrier of choice by 1991, when sales exceeded those of audio-cassettes. Another widely available optical disc
Lossless compression of audio is being popular during the last few decades due to rapid and advanced technology of high quality sound production improved. Lossless compression is a class of compression algorithms that allows the original data to be reconstructed perfectly from the compressed one while for lossy compression, it permits reconstruction only approximate to the original one and it is commonly allows for improved compression rates and smaller in file size. Speech coding can be defined
Installing Car Audio When a person gets into a car, one of the first things they do is turn on the radio. Some people like the volume turned down real low and others like myself want loud blaring music. There are several steps to turn a factory sound system into a surround sound theatre. I have installed all kinds of car audio equipment into automobiles and it doesn’t come cheap. First thing anyone wants to do is to set a price range and compare prices at different retailers. The price range
start-ups are introducing a new type of radio broadcast--subscription-based digital audio sent from satellites. With satellite digital audio radio services (SDARS), as they're called, listeners will be able to tune in to the same radio stations anywhere in the United States. SDARS differs from so-called digital music services, in which direct broadcast satellite or cable system operators provide digitized and compressed audio over their networks, both because of its programming and because SDARS can be
The history of automobile audio dates back to the early 1900s. George Frost did the earliest car audio experimentation in 1922. The evolution of car radios began in the Transitone Th-1, in 1927. The first FM turner band in cars was introduced in 1952. In 1965 the 8-track player was introduced in Ford vehicles. In the early 1960’s, cassettes were introduced, but didn’t become popular until 1977. The FM band became more popular in the 1980s, and the first car compact disc players were introduced
Clear Channel Communications, owner of 1,200 stations across the United States, has been undermining the values of diversity, localism, and market completion within the music industry since the media policy wars in the early 2000s. Since then, the radio industry arguably has lost a significant amount of the authenticity it once had. The only exception is college radio: the last safe haven for musical integrity. The only facet of radio not owned and controlled by a major monopoly. Recently, however
The Behringer X32 is a fully featured, 32-channel, 16-bus digital mixer with an abundant supply of built-in effects and an impressively extensive set of features. It is aimed primarily towards live sound, but is versatile enough to use in a studio session. One main successful point of design is the operation of channel processing. Signal Processing: The home screen of the Behringer X32 shows the channel configuration in the “Configuration” tab, complete with the individual stages of the signal
way that the true message is not visible to the observer. Depending on the type of the cover object there are many suitable steganographic techniques which are followed in order to obtain security. The seganographic techniques can be classified as audio, video, text, image and network steganography. In this paper we have analyzed various data hiding techniques in encrypted images. Keywords: steganography, data hiding, security. I. INTRODUCTION In modern time data hiding is associated with digital
Careers in Acoustic and Audio Equipment Design Audio engineers have an interesting combination of character traits. On the one hand they tend to love music and want to have a hand in creating it. On the other hand they are also lovers of technology and ‘cool gear’. Along with an interest in technology usually comes an interest in understanding how it works – a desire to master the technology. With some people also comes a desire to go beyond the latest gear and ‘do it better’. They have a
binary. The two possible states represented in PCM are logic 1(high) and logic 0 (low). The main advantage of PCM signal is that it is derived from analog signal which is multiplexed with data from the computer and carried over a common high-speed channel. COMPANDING- The combination of compressing and expanding is known as companding. In companding, the data is compressed before it is sent and then expanded at the receiving end using the same non-linear scale. The noise and crosstalk levels at the
and technological impact games have. Audio in video games are not simply meant to create a specific atmosphere, this is only one aspect of audio being addressed. Music and game sound have the potential to bring the player into a situation that they feel is incredibly real. Player immersion is what makes games very memorable, and this becomes much easier and smoother with well constructed audio. Video games today like to focus on the visual effects, but audio and video must be mutually important for
above named American Mobile Satellite Corporation (AMSC) who was granted the license. In 1992, CD Radio, who later changed their name to Sirius Satellite Radio, successfully petitioned the FCC and Congress to examine the creation of a new digital audio radio service in the United States (Uhle, 1998). Seeing the potential of digital broadcasting the American Mobile Satellite Corporation created a new division of the company called American Mobile Radio Corporation (AMRC). This new company AMRC was
Marketing extraordinaire and professor, Philip Kotler, and Kevin Keller (2011) defined marketing communications as 'the means by which firms attempt to inform, persuade, and remind consumers, directly or indirectly, about the products and brands they sell.' Communication is a human activity allowing for the exchange of information. It allows for relationship-building, which has become increasingly important as a marketing tool. In previous years, marketing theories and communication theories upheld
