Sound, sectionalism, and the coming of the Civil War; Arguing for the importance of the aural dimension of history, Mark Smith contends that to understand what it meant to be northern or southern, slave or free - to understand sectionalism and the attitudes toward modernity that led to the Civil War - we must consider how antebellum Americans comprehended the sounds and silences they heard. Smith explores how northerners and southerners perceived the sounds associated with antebellum development...
Dieser Band der Reihe Fachwissen Technische Akustik behandelt die in der Bauakustik meistverbreiteten Messmethoden, vom theoretischen Hintergrund uber anwendungspraktische Fragestellungen bis hin zu den nationalen und internationalen Normen. Die Normenreihe der DIN EN ISO 12354 dient dabei als roter Faden, da sie die messbaren Groessen der Bauakustik in einen Gesamtzusammenhang bringt. Ausgehend von den Aufgabenstellungen der bauakustischen Messtechnik werden die in Frage kommenden Kenngroessen...

Audio Mastering: The Artists (Perspectives on Music Production)
by Russ Hepworth-Sawyer and Jay Hodgson
Audio Mastering: The Artists collects more than twenty interviews, drawn from more than 60 hours of discussions, with many of the world’s leading mastering engineers. In these exclusive and often intimate interviews, engineers consider the audio mastering process as they, themselves, experience and shape it as the leading artists in their field. Each interview covers how engineers got started in the recording industry, what prompted them to pursue mastering, how they learned about the process, w...
Oscillations of gas and/or liquid columns in a flow channel can lead to various phenomena such as Stirling cycle heat engines, pulse tube refrigerators, as well as thermally induced gas oscillations like Sondhauss tube and Rijke tube. Although those phenomena may look different from each other, they can be universally described by the concepts of work flow and heat flow. Work flow stands for the acoustic power used in acoustics. Heat flow is the energy flow associated with the hydrodynamic trans...
Digital Signatures (Digital Signatures) (The MIT Press)
by Ragnhild Brovig-Hanssen and Anne Danielsen
Is digital production killing the soul of music? Is Auto-Tune the nadir of creative expression? Digital technology has changed not only how music is produced, distributed, and consumed but also -- equally important but not often considered -- how music sounds. In this book, Ragnhild Brovig-Hanssen and Anne Danielsen examine the impact of digitization on the aesthetics of popular music. They investigate sonically distinctive "digital signatures" -- musical moments when the use of digital technol...
Environmental Noise Barriers: A Guide to Their Acoustic and Visual Design
by Benz Kotzen and Colin English
Foundations of Engineering Acoustics takes the reader on a journey from a qualitative introduction to the physical nature of sound, explained in terms of common experience, to mathematical models and analytical results which underlie the techniques applied by the engineering industry to improve the acoustic performance of their products. The book is distinguished by extensive descriptions and explanations of audio-frequency acoustic phenomena and their relevance to engineering, supported by a we...
