There is only 6 days left till I visit London and be fortunate enough to be one of the ticket holders that will witness a one off performance from in my opinion some of the music industries top artists and session musicians. They are all there to perform and celebrate the music of Peter Green, […]

This week we went over how far we have got in our group projects. Market research, competition, logos and further expanding on the idea of selling the idea when it comes to presentation week. It looks like the idea of bluetooth, adjustable audio glasses is going well, all we need is to come up with […]

Tutorial today with Steff, relating to the next few lectures. We discussed how we are going to be building a drum synth, a keyboard synth and then building a synth of our own using an instrument of our choice which we have to sample. This will all be collaborated together with a vocal sample which […]

Today I attended a tutorial with Darren Hughes, Lecturer for Radio Production. I pitched the idea that our group has had for the 30 minute program we have to produce as part of our final assessment. The idea we have is to produce a Radio 2 – Jeremy Vine style show based on the subject […]

Today, I continued the class exercise of plotting a 24 sample Sine Wave using the formula below. Rather than using a calculator I created a formula in Excel to calculate each value =1SIN(2PI()*Sample Cell/24)

Today we recapped on what we had learnt from the previous week and created the same basic synthesiser using Max MSP, we also covered how to using maths plot a digital sine wave. Using 24 Samples as an example we where able to calculate the periodic phenomena using the formula 1 x sin(2 x π […]

Today I received my results for the Live Sound module, this is the module I was most apprehensive about. We had already as a group completed the Practical Test which we scored 90%, this was weighted as 30% of the mark overall. The Practical Test involved us setting up a live sound system to a […]

I received my results yesterday for the Recording Technology module, I was actually surprised that I got over 70% overall. I should have put more of an effort in but unfortunately due to an issue at home I was not able to give the last few blogs submissions my full attention. However, well done me, […]

This week we where introduced to the AKAI S500 Sampler and the accompanying Aksys Software. The sampler is a very versatile and useful piece of equipment as long as you understand the software hierarchy. Having never used a rack mount sampler before I found it quite useful for controlling and processing quality samples using the […]

Today was interesting, with my new group we expanded on the idea of adjustable bluetooth spectacles. This is going to be the idea we are pitching as ‘The Apprentice’ format at the end of the module. So far we have got a logo and a brand name, we just have to do some more research […]
