Feb 06, 2003 12:34 am Lets see? Help on being a student.
Learn how to take tests. All instructors are not created equal. The best looking student of the oppsite sex would probably cost you the most in the long run. Try to learn something in spite of what you are being taught. The nerd you make fun of will probably not hire you in about five years. That's about all I remember. Too many extra-curlicular activities, I guess.
Feb 06, 2003 01:34 pm LXtec, you need to give us a little more information about what you need specifically. "Sound Design" is a pretty large topic as I'm sure you know. We need some sort of direction in order to help you.
Feb 06, 2003 03:02 pm my tutor wants the imposable with in 1000 words i have to give 4 different events ie opera musical rock show ect and give a good idea of the equipment and full sound design that you would have to take in to concideration.
Feb 06, 2003 03:42 pm Ouch! Hate to say it, but that sounds like a big case of "Rule #11" to me!
For those of you not familiar -
Rule #11: Better you than me.
I wish I could help you man, but that sounds like it's definitely out of my area of expertise. I'm sure you'll get some insight from someone else here though.
Feb 06, 2003 07:43 pm LXtec, what you are looking for is a rather lengthy endevor. My best recomendation is for you to contact a local theatre, and I don't mean the movie kind. Or a production studio, and interview someone on the production team. You will get a lot more info from them about a particlular event. I could write you 10 paragraph's on what it take's to put on a rock show, or produce a movie soundtrack, or doing music for a live show such as done by Cirque De Sole. But that would be like me doing your assignment for you. Sound design is something completely differant. That is the creation of sound's to be used for certain thing's. And the example's you have given are very differant animal's as far as production goes. They all require vastly differant set-up's as far as sound design and production. If you could be just a bit more specific, maybe I could give you a couple of starting point's. But I still stick with the idea of you interviewing someone local, as it would give you much more insight into the art form's you are speaking of.

Feb 06, 2003 10:08 pm Takes bow to coolo's applause. :-)
Feb 06, 2003 10:33 pm Does video of event, scratches head, postpones plans to finish masters.
Feb 07, 2003 07:21 am my main sound design plans include but are not limited to:
tuning guitars BEFORE i play a song
getting the cat OFF the keyboard so she doesnt stop the recording
telling the wife that I'LL run the vacum cleaner later so please turn it off
UNPLUGGING the phone in my little recording space BEFORE each vocal
And drinking a full beer BEFORE i hit record.
That should make a nice paper........
Most of us here do these things, some guys are pros, but mostly its just folks with no money, no time, half a$$ed equipment, and an insatiable need to create music......
Feb 07, 2003 07:36 am My cat sat on my JP-8000 whilst the arpegiator was on once - that was amazing comedy :D
(Well, we laughed)
Feb 07, 2003 09:14 am Tony & Jues, You made my morning! Samuel aka: Bonehead, loves my mixer. He bats the sliders around with his paws, and every morning I,ve got buttons down everywhere. I finally gave up and laid out an old organizer on the mixer for him to lay on. Limits his infuluence over my mixes!
Feb 07, 2003 04:28 pm Yeah, and keeps cat hair out of your mixer...
Feb 09, 2003 02:04 pm Thanx for all of the help, I'll be intouch and tell you how i did. Thanx speak to you all soon Me
Feb 10, 2003 07:48 am I think if he just copies and pastes from this thread, he should get an A. Keeping cat hair out of the mixer is of paramount importance, ask any engineer......
Feb 10, 2003 10:21 pm Thats why there's only lizard's in this house. Now hair, or hairball's. Only the gentle chirping of cricket's in the middle of the night. And the occasional screeming baby mouse being tossed about the cage. But he is like a little kitty, love's to be held and taken for walk's outside in the nice warm sun, in the summer of cousre.
Feb 11, 2003 12:05 pm You guys crack me up! I'll write an article for HRC on de-furring equiptment and editing pet performances. Sam is no loveable little kitty. Another aka is Budda-kitty. He resembles a bowling pin when sitting up. He's a contankerous old koot just like me. That's why we get along. I love it when he gets P-O'ed and demonstrates defiance. So Humanesch.
Feb 12, 2003 10:14 pm I'm glad we could give you a chuckle Walt. I know yo have made even my worst day's end with good note with some of your reply's, and this one is no exception. Man I love what this community has become.
Feb 27, 2003 05:06 pm I can imagine my cat doing that....messing about with switches and stuff.....I'd record it and have my own cat mix!
Feb 28, 2003 11:26 am LXtec,
My advice to you is to start drinking heavily, and you better listen to these guys, their in pre-med.
Feb 28, 2003 12:30 pm Jen,
My thoughts exactly! I'm in the process of collecting pictures of Sam mixing, helping with stuff, and just expressions. The plan is to make a video with music of course, staring bonehead as the director. Puttums Rock, or something like that. He's kinda into the sultry lay back stuff. As long as there is no harmonica. He gets real flat eared when I play that thing.
Feb 28, 2003 06:42 pm That was real mental picture, a cat cringing at the sound of a harmonica while sitting at a mixing desk. the flattened ears was the real set off.
Feb 28, 2003 08:13 pm Come on - it's fully understandable!
I should call the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) on you Walt - fancy playing a Harmonica to a cat - you nasty man :D
jues!
Feb 28, 2003 11:47 pm Murhpy, God rest his tail, used to run up, sit in my lap and put his paws over the harmonica while he rowed in tune with the thing. And yes Jues, I have become a lot less proficient on the instrument per the feline reviews I have received of late. What gets me is they won't leave. They just get right in my face and express their discust. Fabulous critics!
Mar 01, 2003 10:56 am OK, so the cat could dance, but could he sing. I cna just picture him standing there, looking at you.
Mar 01, 2003 11:14 am He was suprisingly in key. Although the lyrical content was always the same regardless of song:
Must you make this noise?
That no one here enjoys
If you must, I'll sing
Until you loose that thing!
He was partial to four bar blues.
