How can you improve sound quality in an auditorium?

Have the auditorium's dimensions measured and have the facility acoustically treated. Be sure the speakers and amplifiers are power matched to achieve best overall sound with minimal clipping and distortion.

If cost is an issue and sound treatment isn't accessible, speaker placement is the next best thing. Depending of the speakers' angle of dispersion and how large the seating area is, direct the speakers in a way so that maximum coverage is achieved. Try not to overlap the the sound coverage when directing the speakers as this can cause "hot-spots" or areas may be louder to the listener. Be sure the speakers and amplifier are connected correctly (positive to positive and negative to negative). Having any of the poles reversed can cause phase cancellation resulting in most, if not all, of the frequency ranges cancelled out, creating a hollow and weak signal.

If an equalizer is available, use it to optimize the sound by boosting or cutting certain frequencies that may be lacking or that may cause unwanted feedback.

What does overdubbed master mean?

It means to take an entire song or finished recording and record more on top of it.

When was the auto-tune microphone made?

There is no such thing as the "Auto-tune Mic". The vocal effect of "auto-tune" is actually a software plug-in for digital audio workstation programs (DAW) like ProTools or Logic.

Auto-Tune is an automated pitch-correction and audio-processing software created by Antares Audio Technologies, introduced in 1997.

At first, Auto-Tune was primarily used as a subtle way to cover the mistakes of a vocalist off their game; smoothly sliding the pitch to the correct note.

Then, in 1998, Cher's single "Believe" came out. People had heard vocoders in the past, but this was different. Cher's voice snapped from one pitch to the next, as if her vocal chords had been quantized, causing people to ask, "What's that effect?"

It was Auto-Tune, used excessively, to distort the tonal features of the voice.

Unfortunately, there is no microphone that can do it for you. I understand that there is an iPhone app that can do it, but it is not the same thing.

When was the last 78-rpm record made?

It's pretty hard to tell, especially that other countries and smaller labels also created 78-RPM records and probably continued well into the 60s (Finland was an example given), in the US, some claim it was Chuck Berry's "Too Pooped to Pop" 78, released February 1960.

When recording a band with xenyx 1662 fx mixer do the tracks come up as different tracks on the computer or one track with all the instruments on it?

The Xenyx 1622FX comes with an external USB audio interface that connects via RCA cables to the mixer's tape in/out jacks. The mix recorded to the computer will be a stereo stream of the main mix output, so all the instruments will be combined together. Beheringer does not (yet) sell a mixer with multi-channel USB or Firewire audio output.

If I want to record music on a Dynamic Mic through my computer do I need to convert the audio or do I just need to get an XLR to USB cable?

An XLR to USB cable has a converter in it. It isn't just a cable. An audio interface can be used to allow you to use any dynamic microphone or instrument and connect it to the USB or Firewire interface with an XLR cable.

Is audacity good for making UTAU's?

How do you hook up a sunn mixer?

Microphones and guitars on the top, Speakers in the back. :)

Which producers use what music software?

Different producers use different software to their acquired taste. I use Ableton live suite and have done for a year. Deadmau5 uses fruity loops. Prodigy uses reason, ableton and logic. Ian Carey uses Steinberg Cubase 5. As far as i know of it, vast majority use Logic pro as it is pretty industry standard.

It's all about what you like and etc. I have to say that ableton is my favourite because it's so simple and intuitive as well as you can use it to dj with. You can do a mash up on the fly. It would be my choice for a lot because it truly has it all! It is an extremely flexible program for alot of today's needs

Logic is extremely professional software used by a bunch! Ranging from hardcore producers - Tiesto/Prodigy - to people not as well known but still amazing producers - John B Beta, Jordan Suckley. It's a great rock solid producer program!

How can you remove music from a song?

How do you insert an audacity file into a prezi?

You need to convert the files to .flv or .swf files before inserting them. In audacity, if you just save a file, it saves as a .aup file. You can open these files only with Audacity. You can, however, export the file as a different format by going to the File menu and clicking Export. Next, you will have to find either an online conversion website or download a software, such as RealPlayer converter, and convert the file to a .flv or .swf file.

How can you use a gpu to process rtas or vst audio effects?

If you have an Nvidia 8 series or above, you can use your gpu with certain plugins which support CUDA, such as some by LiquidSonics. Most VSTs aren't set up to run with CUDA though, and so won't work. Other people have experimented with transferring the workload of the VST to a GPU, but usually the latency becomes so large, it'd be more effective to use your cpu and wait for the tracks to freeze and just run as audio.

What is DC balancing?

What ots stands for in marketing jargon?

'Average OTS' is a measure of the number of chances an average member of the TARGET AUDIENCE will have of being exposed to an ADVERTISEMENT in an advertising campaign. 'Gross OTS' is computed by adding the average OTS figure for each advertisement in a campaign. The Media Research Group cautions: 'It should be pointed out that the definition of an opportunity to see is different for each medium and not directly comparable. An opportunity to see an advertisement on television is quite different from an opportunity to see a press advertisement, or a poster site, or a cinema or radio commercial' (Admap, August 1979). As a rule of thumb, a burst of television advertising would normally be planned to achieve a minimum OTS of 2.5, while a press campaign would be planned for a figure of 5 or more.

What is Stereo in music system?

Stereo (short for "stereophonic sound") uses two audio channels to give the impression of sound sources at different locations or from different directions. Stereo was a significant improvement over monophonic sound, which used only one channel and the sound was localized in a single speaker. The advantage of stereo is that it captures some of the auditory perspective and ambience (whether real or artificial) of a three-dimensional space, which makes the sounds seem much more realistic. In the real world, sounds come to us from all directions, and our sense of hearing is well-adapted to localizing the direction of sounds.

The stereophonic effect was first discovered in the 1880s. Stereophonic recording was invented in the 1930s, but did not become commercially viable until the 1950s, when motion pictures began to be released with stereo soundtracks and shown in theaters equipped with stereo sound systems. Stereo sound in the home was made possible by LP records which had different audio signals cut into the two walls of the groove in the vinyl. Home stereo systems, incorporating a special two-channel phonograph pickup, as well as two amplifiers and two speakers, became available in the early 1960s and became immediately popular. By 1966, virtually all new recordings were being released in stereo LP format.

In the 1970s, various four-channel and surround-sound systems, designed to further enhance the three-dimensional effect, were developed and marketed. These were not so successful. Today, surround sound is available in home theater systems, but the vast majority of digital audio players and sound systems for home and auto are still two-channel stereo. Most music recordings are sold only in two-channel format.
