  Macworld | Creative Notes | Teaching audio engineering while on the road with Ozzy 

  http://www.macworld.com/article/134676/2008/07/audioengineering.html

  Playing an instrument is important, explains Price, a long-time sound engineer, because when anyone setting up a mix for the band should know how to communicate with the musicians in a language that they ... both understand. It doesn’t matter what you play, Price adds, just as long as you have an understanding of an instrument. And using a Mac? “You just have to know an Apple computer,” Price said. “There is only one computer to use when making music and that’s a Mac. Even GarageBand is an essential piece of software. It can help these students learn so much.” Price should know. He’s been around the music business as an engineer for 33 years, working with artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne and Zakk Wylde, and bands ranging from Steely Dan to Lamb of God. He has worked with every piece of gear you can think of, but he always makes sure he has a Mac nearby. And that was one of the points Price brought up in a recent talk to 100 audio engineering students and faculty   [More...] [Less...]

  ABC News: Computer Can Tell When You're Happy 

  http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/AheadoftheCurve/Story?id=5303287

  One of these days your computer will probably know what you are thinking before you know it yourself. The human face conveys emotions ranging from fear to confusion to lying, sometimes involuntarily, and ... scientists are figuring out how to make use of those expressions. A UC San Diego computer science Ph.D. student can turn his face into a remote control that speeds and slows video playback. The proof-of-concept demonstration is part of a larger project to use automated facial expression recognition to make robots more effective teachers. At the University of California at San Diego, for example, a graduate student has developed a program that will slow down or speed up a video based entirely on changes in his facial expressions, like a slight frown, or a smile. The purpose of this particular program is to make robotic instructors more responsive to their student's needs, but there are many other potential applications for the work. "The project I'm working on is how can we use machine   [More...] [Less...]
