The CSC and the PMAMC&OC (aka pure math club) are hosting our end

of term events together! We'll be taking over MC Comfy to hang out,
|

eat lots of food (from Kismet!), and play board games.

Professor Richard Mann will be giving a talk, titled "Open Source

Software for Sound Measurement and Analysis". He will be presenting
|
|
information about his new course, CS 489, Computational Sound, which
|
|
will be running in Winter 2017.

|
|
The most common problem in acoustics is to measure the frequency
|
|
response of an (expensive!) listening room. While specifications
|
|
exist for the amplifiers, speakers, etc, each system must be still
|
|
evaluated individually, since the frequency response depends on the
|
|
direct sound from the speaker(s), the listener position and the
|
|
reverberation of the room. The user may spend considerable time
|
|
adjusting the speaker placement, the system equalization, and
|
|
possibly treating the room to get the best response.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are several commercial and freeware applications for this task,
|
|
some of which are very good. However, to learn the methods the user
|
|
must understand the processing involved.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The purpose of this talk is to present an open source solution. Our
|
|
system is based on a very few lines of code, written in GNU Octave, a
|
|
Matlab(r) workalike that runs under Linux, Windows and Mac.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The program works by playing a known test signal, such a tone, or
|
|
some kind of noise source out of the sound card into the system. The
|
|
system is measured by comparing driving signal to that measured by a
|
|
microphone in the room. The frequency response is computed using the
|
|
Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).

This is joint work with Prof. John Vanderkooy, Physics, University of
|
|
Waterloo.

|
|
Personal projects you want to work on? Homework
|
|
projects you need to finish? Or want some time to explore
|
|
some new technology and chat about it? You can join us at Code Party
|
|
and do it, with great company and great food.
