Live sound mixing

the oldest musical instrument found to date. The instrument is a 35,000 year old flute that was carved from the wing of a griffon vulture, which is currently on the endangered species list. Through the video Käfer discovers the ancient sound of the flute with a live griffon vulture present. The flute that she is playing is relatively small compared to the flute that we know today. The bone is naturally hollow and was able to be carved without breaking. The flute is a total of 13 inches long…

Listening: Active listening is a communication technique used in counseling, training and conflict resolution, which requires the listener to feed back what they hear to the speaker, by way of re-stating or paraphrasing what they have heard in their own words, to confirm what they have heard and moreover, to confirm the understanding of both parties(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_listening) http://psychcentral.com/lib/become-a-better-listener-active-listening/ Active Listening is defined…

of hearing loss, whether that’s total hearing loss or partial, has expanded immensely. Even though I already watch Switched at Birth regularly, going back and re-watching certain episodes reminded me of the daily struggles that deaf people have to live with. Not only regarding any sort of interaction with people who are not only hearing and ignorant; but deaf people also have to fight for simple things such as quality education as I learned in uprising. The first episode I watched was titled…

Sound travels through matter, which is a solid, liquid or gas. Sound travels in longitudinal waves. There is also a vibration that starts on an object, and this causes a vibration on all the molecules. When these molecules vibrate, they cause all of the other surrounding molecules to vibrate. This vibration will spread from molecule to molecule causing sound to travel. 1. What is a wave? A wave is a chain of vibrating molecules. In general, a wave transfers energy from one place to another. 2.…

the cacophony startling Booker awake with a disgruntled groan. Unimpressed by the early morning alarm clock, he angrily pulled his pillow over his head and attempted to drown out the noise. But after several minutes, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow to the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.…

The downstairs was silent, sunlight danced through the windows and I couldn’t stop the stupid smile that had spread over my face, twisting my head either side to click my neck, snatching the remote of the side table of the three seater couch my thumb hit the power button and the Samsung beeped in reply, with a grin I collapsed back onto the couch, my butt making contact with a very hard substance. A loud wheeze quickly escaped the person I had sat on. Stranger’s eyelid’s pulled back slowly…

“Here comes those eyes… There goes my ability to breath. Those legs are walking her to me! Tell me I ain’t dreaming… Here comes that smile…,” drifted the words of the song lazily through the air from the wimpy speakers of my battered phone, prompting me to perk up and tune in to the playful music of Chris Rice. The upbeat, yet somehow still quite mellow tune, was incredibly catchy. Musically the song was interesting; it was full of groovy pauses and a soothing, pulsing rhythmic guitar that gave…

The cryogenic chamber that housed my body, seemed to be in an isolated place on an unknown vessel. From inside, the constant rumble and clang of debris that interacted with the hull was disturbing the absolute silence. My heavy body and fogged over memories must have been a result from the deep slumber. I looked out the window and realized that the that earth was not in sight; inside the control room connected to my room, a counting device showed a sign of several light years. I assumed the…

Research has shown that MCT improves vocal quality immediately after treatment and in the short- term, with individuals with MTD. Improvements in vocal quality include: jitter, shimmer, signal to noise ratio, and reduced intensity (Mathieson et al., 2009; Reimann et al., 2016; Roy & Leeper, 1993; Roy et al., 1997; Van Lierde et al., 2004; Van Lierde et al., 2008). Reimann and colleagues (2016), did conclude that MCT does increase roughness in vocal quality due to muscle rebalance in the…
