AbstractThe article presents the equipment and digital signal processing methods used for modernizing the Polish Navy’s sonars. With the rapid advancement of electronic technologies and digital signal processing methods, electronic systems, including sonars, become obsolete very quickly. In the late 1990s a team of researchers of the Department of Marine Electronics Systems, Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, Gdansk University of Technology, began work on modernizing existing sonar systems for the Polish Navy. As part of the effort, a methodology of sonar modernization was implemented involving a complete replacement of existing electronic components with newly designed ones by using bespoke systems and methods of digital signal processing. Large and expensive systems of ultrasound transducers and their dipping and stabilisation systems underwent necessary repairs but were otherwise left unchanged. As a result, between 2001 and 2014 the Gdansk University of Technology helped to modernize 30 sonars of different types.

Abstract The 14th International Symposium on Sound Engineering and Tonmeistering will be held on May 19-21, 2011, in Wrocław. The Symposium is organized by the Chair of Acoustics, Institute of Telecommunications, Teleinformatics and Acoustics, Wrocław University of Technology, under auspicious of the Polish Section of the Audio Engineering Society. The organizers cordially invite sound engineers, music producers, acousticians, and specialists in sound reinforcement, scientists who deal with sound engineering, sound recording and related areas, students, and employees of the audio industry to participate in the Symposium. The Symposium programme will include lecture sessions and workshop presentations.

This chapter follows Carlos from her time as a graduate student in the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center to her early professional career as a recording engineer with Gotham Studios. At Columbia, she studied with electronic music pioneers Vladimir Ussachevsky and Milton Babbitt, learning to compose music with magnetic tape and the RCA Mark II Synthesizer. Carlos met Robert Moog for the first time in 1964 at the Audio Engineering Society convention. They worked together as Moog developed modules for 900-series analog synthesizer. Carlos also began seeing Dr. Harry Benjamin, author of The Transsexual Phenomenon, in his office in New York.

AbstractThis paper examines two of the most common signal processing techniques, namely, equalisation and dynamics processing. As with all signal processing techniques, equalisation and dynamics processing modify audio signals in particular ways to suit the evolving requirements of a mix. Rock and electronica records currently feature the most extroverted uses for these techniques and, thus, the clearest examples for a field guide like this. It is for this reason, and this reason alone, that I focus on records from these two genres. I begin this field guide by suggesting a definition for ‘signal processing’ which is sufficiently broad to account for every technique that recordists currently use. I then relate that definition to the concept of ‘frequency response’. In my opinion, this concept is crucial to any understanding of signal processing – a core component of the knowledge base for audio engineering, which is the discipline under which signal processing is typically subsumed; the concept of ‘frequency response’ guides many of the decisions about signal processing that recordists make, especially those concerning equalisation. Finally, I explain how equalisation and dynamics processing work, and I offer a field guide to their most common applications on hit rock and electronica records today.
