I m planning to buy mobile phone. Shall i go for samsung?
I got new turtle beach PX5 headsets and they are AWESOME. But when my brother wants to play split screen, I hear HIM and myself, which affects my sound and I can’t hear my surroundings very well. Any idea on how to only hear myself and not him.
I forgot to mention that I mean I hear my brother’s environment. For example, if my brother is shooting someone to my left, but he shooting them from the right, I hear that person to the right instead of to the left.
So i was play a lot of games on my Sony Vaio E series and i’v been experiencing lagging sometimes. So i wonder whats so different between a gaming computer and mine cause i was planning to get PC games from gamestop next week but i was worried that the lag might show up. Also what affects the gaming experience on computers? and is the intel (R)Pentium(R) CPU good for games?
Do you remember, there was a game in Samsung mobile phone (about 5years ago) with hamster. If I remember correctly, the there was like a maze orgasm smth like that. And when you complete the level you can see a n image of a city – Paris, Rome…
Please help me to find or remeber this game. I was looking for it everywhere, but I couldn’t find.
I am leaving for a Vegas vacation on Saturday and I was planning on bringing a cell phone, my camera, and iPod touch on the plane. I have looked on websites but I I can’t seem to find the rules and regulations regarding electronics and the quantity! Can someone help me out? Thanks! (:
How can I get the Samsung mobile phone twang / fairy sound for my sony ericsson. You know the sound that you get when you recieve a text message.
Or can i download similar sound from somewhere
All i want to know is what does a gameplay engineer actually do in his career, not college, in their career, their everyday life. And What does a Audio Technologist do for a career/everyday life. i found these occupations from the credits of a video game and it seems interesting. Would this be a good major for someone like me: i know computers very well. i build them, i know zero coding what so ever. i know nothing of codeing or any languages, but im willing to learn. Is audio technology just for video games or for other things in general as well?
Is this considered a major ?
Is there anyone that can provide me a little details regarding it ?
It sounds like something I would like to try, but I’m not sure of it, and I can’t seem to find a lot of info off google. Thanks.
I recently (within the last year) purchases the WOWee One for my dad, it uses gel audio technology to transfer bass vibrations into other objects in order to create a “speaker” out of just about anything you place it on, pretty fun little gadget to plug into your ipod
but now I am in a college physics 2 class and we have been asked to build something we are interested in, and I cannot for the life of me find any information on this technology (although I do admit, I have only searched on the internet so far), does anyone out there have an idea of what kind of gel they may be using? And also maybe a recommendation as to how to attach the home-made speaker to said gel pad? thank you in advance!
purchased*
I know that NYU and Berklee have their own music technology program, but NYU is very expensive. What are some other colleges that offer Music Technology/Recording?
Thanks!
or recording art technology?
ps. sorry if my grammar and spelling is alittle off.
Hi – I have a Samsung mobile with a camere. I have just bought an Apple Mac and it turns out that the software for the camera on the phone is not compatible with it – so now I can’t move my photos from my phone to the computer. Does anyone know a way around this?
Many thanks

I am currently enrolled at American University in DC, pursuing a B.A. in audio production and I am now considering grad school for electrical engineering, but I may also want to still pursue audio. Should I get a B.S. in audio technology which includes 15 credits of either physics or computer science courses, or major in physics or computer science with the audio technology minor? My ideal job would be a record producer or engineer, but I know there aren’t a lot of jobs for that. What is my best choice for a major/minor?
I need to know evrerything about it….Please guys m 18 now …my parents are forcing me to join in marine engineering………. but my passion is music …..so any 1 please explain about the TAC/ABET-accedited degree in Audio Engineering Technology……..:
Its is saying tat this degree is giving in Belmont University in Nashville. Please guys need the answer now itself………..Please explain abt this degree:(:(:(:(
K tnks for ur opinion………… M frm India (Cochin)…… i like to do ma degree abroad, for tat i need to know which is the best college in world for studying audio engineering/music production,especially U.S.A and U.K ……..:) Do u know any one who has passed audio engineering from Belmont university…….

Making vinyl records the old-fashioned way
Posted by Daniel Terdiman 4 comments
At United Record Pressing in Nashville, Tenn., LPs are still made the old-fashioned way: with lots and lots of vinyl. This is a bin full of little vinyl pellets that will be melted into records.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.–When people think of the Beatles coming to America, they usually conjure up images of The Ed Sullivan Show and screaming teenage girls chasing the Fab Four on the streets of New York.
But here in Music City, there’s something else to commemorate the earliest stages of the British Invasion: the fact that the first American Beatles 7-inch record was produced by United Record Pressing–then, as now, one of the largest makers of vinyl in the world.
On Monday, as I swung through Nashville on Road Trip 2008, I was lucky enough to get to visit the production facilities of United Record Pressing here and get a firsthand look at how LPs are made. Before you scoff at the notion of making records, consider that over the last few years, the format has made a big comeback, with sales skyrocketing and turntables moving off store shelves like they haven’t in years.
Why? The reason is pure irony.
According to Jay Millar, the marketing and sales manager for United Record Pressing, it has everything to do with the emergence of Apple’s oh-so-ubiquitous MP3 player.
“It really started picking up when iPods started coming onto the scene,” Millar said. “Everything got so sterile with digital that people were not spending time” with the physical manifestation of their music.

In other words, as iPods began to dominate the music world, people were leaving their CDs on the shelves, and iTunes downloads, as well as those via file-sharing services, took over.
But for audiophiles used to actually handling some sort of disc, this change has led to a reversal of fortune for the LP, a format long thought to have gone the way of the floppy disk.
For a company like United Record Pressing, that’s been great news, as its sales have been going up steadily as more and more artists turn to records as a way to get their music into the hands of people who care about it.
So how is a record made?
First, a separate company with facilities nearby takes the original recording–which can come in the form of an audio tape, but (audiophiles, cover your eyes here) more often comes on CDs since many artists are using software like ProTools to cut their tracks–and uses it to cut the familiar circular grooves into an object called a lacquer.
The lacquer is then delivered to United Record Pressing, which begins the process of actually making the LPs.
First, the lacquer is sprayed with a layer of silver, which, after it sets, is then peeled off. The resulting sheet is known as the master, and it is the opposite of a record, because it has ridges rather than grooves.
The master is then used to make what is known as the mother, a metal version of the record that can, itself, actually be played.
At United Record Pressing, black is not the only color of vinyl that is used. There’s also red, orange, blue, gray, and even a mixture made from the cuttings of the other colors.

The mother is then pressed into what is known as the stamper, and this, too, has ridges. The stamper actually is the basis of every record that comes out of this factory.
At this point, it’s all about raw vinyl, millions of little chunks of the material that resemble Pop Rocks.
And it’s not just black either. The company also makes records that are red, orange, blue, and gray. Sometimes, it takes all the discarded vinyl from several pressings and mixes them together into a kind of hodgepodge color.
First, the vinyl is melted down into what is called the biscuit. This is the center of the record, the round part with no grooves and the little hole. To this is added the label, which is pressed onto the biscuit, a step that doesn’t require any adhesive. Rather, the biscuit is so hot from the vinyl being melted down that the label sticks right on.
The labels, which are printed here by the thousands, are actually baked in a special oven so that they retain no moisture, something that could cause bubbling on the actual record.

Then, the biscuit is placed in the middle of a machine and then it is joined together with a fresh supply of vinyl, and together they are smashed between a plate and the stamper. A blade then shears off the excess vinyl, and voila! A brand new record slides out of the machine and onto a rack.
When all is said and done, it’s actually a remarkably simply process. But there’s still much more that must happen before an LP leaves the facility.
First, at least one of each new album run must be tested. So on one side of a room that long ago was used as a room for record release and signing parties–Hank Williams Jr. had a party thrown for him here when he was 16, Millar said–a woman is sitting and bobbing her head as she listens to songs on headphones, making sure the new record has no problems. If it does, United Record Pressing will have to tell the record company what the issue is.
There’s also the small matter of putting the records in their sleeves–something I saw two people tucked away in a corner of one room doing. They had their process down pat: grab an LP, inspect it quickly for obvious defects, pick up a sleeve, slide in the record, repeat.

Millar showed me a room in the basement of the building that contained thousands and thousands of folders–really, they seemed like extra-thick album covers with no art–that contain the masters of every record the company has produced over the years. This is a treasure trove bar none, since United Record Pressing works with pretty much every major label you can imagine.
Inside each folder is the master, and a full set of all the associated materials: the master, a label, an album jacket, and anything else that might be included, such as liner notes. And these days, as with an Elvis Costello album Millar showed me, the folders may also hold an insert with information for a digital download of the album.
In fact, it is these digital downloads that may be heralding the re-emergence of the LP and the death of the CD. That’s because many artists are now offering record buyers a one-time free download of all the tracks on the album as a bonus.
This is still a small enough phenomenon, of course, to barely register on Apple’s radar. iTunes is safe, in other words.
Still, for audiophiles who used to buy CDs, this gives them a way to have a physical disc to listen to the music on, as well as a way to easily tote it with them.
“People don’t need their discs to be compact anymore,” said Millar, “because you can’t get much more compact than MP3. So it’s back to the big discs.”

As in what do they do? what are they used for? what is it? yeah, Audio Visual..
thank you
Hey, I am going to be studying Audio and Recording Technology BSc Honours in De Montfort Uni in September. I was wondering how much math’s is part of the course because math’s is a weak point for me.
Thanks Ross
in addition i have 3 and a half years expierience working as a croupier
I’ve used AVForums.co.uk but I was wondering if there’s any better forums on audio, video, mobiles, gadget around.
Is there a device that will record my old vinyl records onto a CD?
You are an audio system manufacturer, from an engineering perspective, what do you need to know about radio technology to help you build a quality audio system?
This is a big research paper so i just need help narrowing down my research a little.
I am aware of brainwave entrainment, binaural beats and so on but I’m wondering if there’s anything like that for training positivity, success, etc. Anyone know? This would be very helpful.
I am doing a research paper on the history of audio recording technology. I am really having trouble finding information that fills in the gaps between analog tapes to cds. I am looking for inventions and such to fill in the timeline, much thanks.
Returning to the past? I got the following article off CNET.com.

i know that in general technology is getting cheaper (i just built a pc, so i’m fully aware of how fast the tech world moves) but i’m having trouble finding anyone who claims this to be true with audio technology. here’s the thing. i want a nice audio system, but figure that i’ll wait until i move out of the parents place… which should be 8-9 months.
So obviously, audio receiver companies keep pushing their new series (or w/e you’d call them) pretty regularly, and it seems like a lot of speakers get updated versions occasionally, but how are the companies selling their equipment that’s not brand new? do they drop the prices or just keep them the same, or are there not even big enough improvement in audio systems to warrant any serious price drops?
note: i’m mainly looking into floor standing speakers and bookshelf speakers right now, but probably be nice for anyone else wondering if you have a more general answer as well. thanks guys!
