[Scottish-perception-group] Invitation to Edinburgh MusIC talk-- Gordon Miller, Tue 24 Apr, 1715, Floor 3, Rm 3.04, Appleton Tower, School of Informatics

[p.f.Keene]

Hello Everyone,

Apologies for Cross Postings

This is an invitation from the University of Edinburgh MusIC group to
please join us for a talk by Gordon Miller.

Gordon Miller: "The Spectral Analyser in Mixing & Mastering - 
Implementation & Use"

Tuesday 24 April 2007 at 1715, 3rd Floor, Rm 3.04, Appleton Tower, 
School of Informatics

Abstract
In this talk I will explore two main themes:

1. The construction of software spectral analysers, both in general, 
and specifically with reference to my xspect program. This will contain 
quite detailed DSP material, including Fast Fourier Transform, data 
tapering, averaging and normalization. I will briefly explain the 
design decisions behind xspect, and implementation issues including 
algorithm choice, scheduling, threads and drawing optimizations.

2. The fruitful use of spectral analysers in music post-production. 
This will explore the increasing use of graphical EQ and spectral 
compression plugins, which have opened new possibilities for improving 
the spectral balance of recordings. I will talk in particular about the 
Voxengo Gliss EQ and Voxengo Soniformer plugins.

The two themes overlap since the intended end use will determine the 
choices in design and implementation.


This is the another in the series of talks for the semester so we hope 
you can come.  It should be quite enjoyable, with plenty of opportunity 
for questions and lively discussion afterwards.

Please feel free to forward this invitation as appropriate.
