permanent alias linux

Although aliases can easily be set up using the alias command, this command has the disadvantage that any alias created with it remains in effect only during the current login session (i.e., until the user logs out or the computer is shut down). This might not be much of a problem for systems that are rebooted (i.e., restarted) only infrequently (such as corporate database servers), but it can be a nuisance for systems that are frequently rebooted (e.g., home computers).

Fortunately, however, any alias can be made more enduring (i.e., until it is explicitly removed) by writing it to the appropriate

Stanford Master's degree - Music, Science, Technology

Music, Science, and Technology (M.S.T.)—The M.A. in music, science, and technology is the department's only terminal master's degree. This is a two-year program of 45 graduate-level units focusing on the integration of music perception, music-related signal processing and controllers, synthesis, performance and composition. The program is designed for students who have an undergraduate music, engineering or science degree. Required course work is listed below. A complete program with an individually-tailored list of electives will be formed in consultation with the student's adviser.

MixShare: REWiki Rapid Evolution

Rapid_evolution is an advanced harmonic music library tool for DJs, designed to be used while you mix. It helps profile your songs by saving important properties, such as the BPM, key, time signature, styles, comments, etc. You can then instantly see which songs are within BPM range, in key harmonically and in similar styles. More importantly, it lets you save comments and information about each individual mix you come up with. Use it to enhance your knowledge of your music and remember the important details of what you do. You will quickly take your mixing to new levels! The software includes automatic BPM and key detection, as well as tools to determine this information yourself–a BPM tapper and a MIDI keyboard. It is designed for the power user, and offers extensive searching, filtering and browsing capabilities. You can create custom hierarchical styles to help organize your tunes. It also lets you share all song and mix information with other DJs. Use it and start evolving!

csound delay echo

effects are actually created from using delay buffers in various ways. We will briefly look at one of these effects: the flanger. Flanging derives from a phenemenon which occurs when the delay time becomes so short that we begin to no longer perceive individual echoes but instead a stack of harmonically related resonances are perceived the frequencies of which are in simple ratio with 1/delay_time. This effect is known as a comb filter. When the delay time is slowly modulated and the resonances shifting up and down in sympathy the effect becomes known as a flanger. In this example the delay time of the flanger is modulated using an LFO that employs a U-shaped parabola as its waveform as this seems to provide the smoothest comb filter modulations.

csound envelopes

Envelopes are used to control how a sound changes over time. One of the most common envelopes is the amplitude envelope. The amplitude envelope shapes the volume of the sound over time. Envelopes can be used to change other aspects of the sound such as pitch and the amount of filtering.
