'''DESCRIPTION''' 
This course emphasises artistic and opposing ways of working with Virtual Reality. Its aim is to establish individual approaches to VR, an increasingly widespread medium which
offers artists new possibilities for expression and intercultural communication.

The practical part will be an Introduction to Unity 3D and Blender. We will look into contemporary and digital art related to recent sociopolitical and mediaphilosophical topics. We will create an artistic discourse on
the topic of VR which will be presented in the form of individual projects at the end of the semester.

'''CRITERIA FOR PASSING''' 
In order to successfully participate you will have to develop and document your own project on the GMU Wiki. Also, regularly attend to the sessions and participation is mandatory.

The practical part will be an Introduction to Unity 3D and Blender. We will look into contemporary and digital art related to recent sociopolitical and mediaphilosophical topics. We will create an artistic discourse on
the topic of VR which will be presented in the form of individual projects at the end of the semester.

'''CRITERIA FOR PASSING''' 
In order to successfully participate you will have to develop and document your own project on the GMU Wiki. Also, regularly attend to the sessions and participation is mandatory.

GMU:Tutorials/Performance Platform/Sound System Multi Speaker

2016-08-01T00:14:21Z

EmilioAguas: /* Going Beyond */

==Multi Channel Sound==

In the Digital Bauhaus Lab (DBL) you would be able to work with a multi channel sound system, the work station uses an audio interface "Fireface 800" and Totalmix FX software for mixing and recording.

The following tutorial will explain you how the hardware is setup and a quick introduction to the software and possible ways that you could expand the capacity of the multi channel sound-card and system.

== Types of Multi Channel Audio ==

There are three different types of speakers arrangements: first the most common one the stereophonic sound or two channel audio, surround sound or more than two channels and ambisonics or full sphere surround sound.

In this tutorial we only are going to cover briefly the surround sound arrangement.

== Surround Sound ==

"Surround sound is a technique for enriching the sound reproduction quality of an audio source with additional audio channels from speakers that surround the listener (surround channels), providing sound from a 360° radius in the horizontal plane (2D) as opposed to "screen channels" (center, [front] left, and [front] right) originating only from the listener's forward arc.

Surround sound is characterized by a listener location or sweet spot where the audio effects work best, and presents a fixed or forward perspective of the sound field to the listener at this location. The technique enhances the perception of sound spatialization by exploiting sound localization; a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance. Typically this is achieved by using multiple discrete audio channels routed to an array of loudspeakers." taken from wikipedia.

If you want a deeper understanding of Multi channel sound systems, give it a look to the following link [http://www.lexicon.com/tl_files/catalog/LuxuryCars/Lexicon/Manuals/Legacy/DC-2/prod_140_634571188721562228_Lexicon_Theory-Design.pdf Multi-Channel Music & Cinema Systems Theory and Design]

== Speakers Arrangement ==

The DBL has a setup of 8 speakers that you will see at the following images:

(click on the images to enlarge)
[[File:speakers all.png|thumb| left| 300px | All the speakers in the DBL]]
[[File:speaker 1 3 4 5.png |thumb| left| 300px | speakers 1,3,4,5]]
[[File:speaker 2 3 4 6.png |thumb| left| 300px | speakers 2,3,4,6]]
[[File:speakers 3 and 4.png |thumb| left| 300px | speakers 3 and 4]]
[[File:speakers 7 and 8.png |thumb| left| 300px | speakers 7 and 8]]
[[File:8 speakers connection.png |thumb| left| 300px | 8 speakers connection]]

 

== From the Speakers to the Sound-card ==

[[File:sound card back.png |thumb| right| 250px | sound card back]]

The whole set of speakers go to the sound card as analog line connection outputs on the rear side of the sound console, here you can see the connections.

The sound card is connected via fire-wire 800 to the computer and also a fire-wire 400 connection to the other sound card (Fireface UFX), and finally the power socket connection.

The other connections are for digital and analog inputs and outputs such as MIDI, ADAT, SPDIF and WORDclock, this are different forms to connect other hardware and manipulate it inside the mixer, giving you the capacity to use up to 52 channels.

more info about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF SPDIF]
more info about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_clock WORDclock]
 

== Sound card Front Interface ==
[[File:sound card.png |thumb| left| 250px | sound card front]]

On the front side you have another set of input connections such as instruments line in and microphone in, and input volume knobs controllers and 48 volt phantom power supply activation.

Channel 1 has speaker emulation to bypass the amplifier of a guitar for example

Channels 7 and 8 also have mic and line input connections

Channels 9 and 10 are used for headphones (if you want to) - Phones are low impedance line outputs. They provide a sufficient and undis-torted volume when used with headphones.

For a better understanding of Phantom power click [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_power here].
 

== Status LEDs ==
[[File:sound card interface.png |thumb| right| 250px | sound card front LEDs]]

'''MIDI/I:''' indicates MIDI data received by the MIDI input.

'''MIDI/O:''' indicates MIDI data sent to the MIDI output.

'''The Digital State LEDs:'''(WC, SPDIF, ADAT, TCO) indicate a valid input signal separately for each digital input.

The red '''HOST LED''' lights up when the Fireface 800 has been switched on, signalling the presence of operating voltage. At the same time it operates as error LED, in case the FireWire connection hasn't been initialized yet, or has been interrupted (error, cable not connected).

For more info of this sound console look at the users guide [https://www.rme-audio.de/download/fface800_e.pdf here].
 

== Using the Multi Channel System ==

== Going Beyond ==
In a Surround system or multi channel system like this one is it possible to use Ambisonics for Max Msp or Pure data to transform the arrangement of speakers into a spatial sphere system in this case with panning modes could be posible, for that you will need and ambisonics extension for max msp that you could download going to this [https://www.zhdk.ch/index.php?id=icst_ambisonicsexternals site] all the documentation is inside the max objects, or for pure data go [http://puredata.info/Members/ricky/grambilib here] or take a look on this other library for Pd [http://www.mshparisnord.fr/hoalibrary/en/downloads/puredata/ HoaLibrary].

To know more about ambisonics sound system take a look on this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambisonics information]

==Multi Channel Sound==

In the Digital Bauhaus Lab (DBL) you would be able to work with a multi channel sound system, the work station uses an audio interface "Fireface 800" and Totalmix FX software for mixing and recording.

The following tutorial will explain you how the hardware is setup and a quick introduction to the software and possible ways that you could expand the capacity of the multi channel sound-card and system.

== Types of Multi Channel Audio ==

There are three different types of speakers arrangements: first the most common one the stereophonic sound or two channel audio, surround sound or more than two channels and ambisonics or full sphere surround sound.

In this tutorial we only are going to cover briefly the surround sound arrangement.

== Surround Sound ==

"Surround sound is a technique for enriching the sound reproduction quality of an audio source with additional audio channels from speakers that surround the listener (surround channels), providing sound from a 360° radius in the horizontal plane (2D) as opposed to "screen channels" (center, [front] left, and [front] right) originating only from the listener's forward arc.

Surround sound is characterized by a listener location or sweet spot where the audio effects work best, and presents a fixed or forward perspective of the sound field to the listener at this location. The technique enhances the perception of sound spatialization by exploiting sound localization; a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance. Typically this is achieved by using multiple discrete audio channels routed to an array of loudspeakers." taken from wikipedia.

If you want a deeper understanding of Multi channel sound systems, give it a look to the following link [http://www.lexicon.com/tl_files/catalog/LuxuryCars/Lexicon/Manuals/Legacy/DC-2/prod_140_634571188721562228_Lexicon_Theory-Design.pdf Multi-Channel Music & Cinema Systems Theory and Design]

== Speakers Arrangement ==

The DBL has a setup of 8 speakers that you will see at the following images:

[[File:speaker 1 3 4 5.png |thumb| left| 300px | speakers 1,3,4,5]]
[[File:speaker 2 3 4 6.png |thumb| left| 300px | speakers 2,3,4,6]]

[[File:speakers 7 and 8.png |thumb| left| 300px | speakers 7 and 8]]
[[File:8 speakers connection.png |thumb| left| 300px | 8 speakers connection]]

 

== From the Speakers to the Sound-card ==

[[File:sound card back.png |thumb| right| 250px | sound card back]]

The whole set of speakers go to the sound card as analog line connection outputs on the rear side of the sound console, here you can see the connections.

The sound card is connected via fire-wire 800 to the computer and also a fire-wire 400 connection to the other sound card (Fireface UFX), and finally the power socket connection.

The other connections are for digital and analog inputs and outputs such as MIDI, ADAT, SPDIF and WORDclock, this are different forms to connect other hardware and manipulate it inside the mixer, giving you the capacity to use up to 52 channels.

more info about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/PDIF SPDIF]
more info about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_clock WORDclock]
 

== Sound card Front Interface ==
[[File:sound card.png |thumb| left| 250px | sound card front]]

On the front side you have another set of input connections such as instruments line in and microphone in, and input volume knobs controllers and 48 volt phantom power supply activation.

Channel 1 has speaker emulation to bypass the amplifier of a guitar for example

Channels 7 and 8 also have mic and line input connections

Channels 9 and 10 are used for headphones (if you want to) - Phones are low impedance line outputs. They provide a sufficient and undis-torted volume when used with headphones.

== Status LEDs ==
[[File:sound card interface.png |thumb| right| 250px | sound card front LEDs]]

'''MIDI/I:''' indicates MIDI data received by the MIDI input.

'''MIDI/O:''' indicates MIDI data sent to the MIDI output.

'''The Digital State LEDs:'''(WC, SPDIF, ADAT, TCO) indicate a valid input signal separately for each digital input.

The red '''HOST LED''' lights up when the Fireface 800 has been switched on, signalling the presence of operating voltage. At the same time it operates as error LED, in case the FireWire connection hasn't been initialized yet, or has been interrupted (error, cable not connected).

The other connections are for digital and analog inputs and outputs such as MIDI, ADAT, SPDIF and WORDclock, this are different forms to connect other hardware and manipulate it inside the mixer, giving you the capacity to use up to 52 channels.

== Sound card Front Interface ==
[[File:sound card.png |thumb| left| 250px | sound card front]]

On the front side you have another set of input connections such as instruments line in and microphone in, and input volume knobs controllers and 48 volt phantom power supply activation.

Channel 1 has speaker emulation to bypass the amplifier of a guitar for example

Channels 7 and 8 also have mic and line input connections

Channels 9 and 10 are used for headphones (if you want to) - Phones are low impedance line outputs. They provide a sufficient and undis-torted volume when used with headphones.

== Status LEDs ==
[[File:sound card interface.png |thumb| right| 250px | sound card front LEDs]]

'''MIDI/I:''' indicates MIDI data received by the MIDI input.

'''MIDI/O:''' indicates MIDI data sent to the MIDI output.

'''The Digital State LEDs:'''(WC, SPDIF, ADAT, TCO) indicate a valid input signal separately for each digital input.

The red '''HOST LED''' lights up when the Fireface 800 has been switched on, signalling the presence of operating voltage. At the same time it operates as error LED, in case the FireWire connection hasn't been initialized yet, or has been interrupted (error, cable not connected).

==Multi Channel Sound==

In the Digital Bauhaus Lab (DBL) you would be able to work with a multi channel sound system, the work station uses an audio interface "Fireface 800" and Totalmix FX software for mixing and recording.

The following tutorial will explain you how the hardware is setup and a quick introduction to the software and possible ways that you could expand the capacity of the multi channel sound-card and system.

== Types of Multi Channel Audio ==

There are three different types of speakers arrangements: first the most common one the stereophonic sound or two channel audio, surround sound or more than two channels and ambisonics or full sphere surround sound.

In this tutorial we only are going to cover briefly the surround sound arrangement.

== Surround Sound ==

"Surround sound is a technique for enriching the sound reproduction quality of an audio source with additional audio channels from speakers that surround the listener (surround channels), providing sound from a 360° radius in the horizontal plane (2D) as opposed to "screen channels" (center, [front] left, and [front] right) originating only from the listener's forward arc.

Surround sound is characterized by a listener location or sweet spot where the audio effects work best, and presents a fixed or forward perspective of the sound field to the listener at this location. The technique enhances the perception of sound spatialization by exploiting sound localization; a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance. Typically this is achieved by using multiple discrete audio channels routed to an array of loudspeakers." taken from wikipedia.

== Speakers Arrangement ==

The DBL has a setup of 8 speakers that you will see at the following images:
