So here is what I want to do: I have an Ipod synched to the Itunes Library on my PC I wish to synch it with my Macbook. To do this I need to erase it and replace its contents with the contents of my Macbook's Itunes Library. There is nothing in my Itunes Library so I wish to move all...

Hello! I'm building a metallophone for Science Olympiad this year, and I encountered a problem. Since the length of the pipe determines the frequency/pitch, I sawed the pipes to different lengths for different notes. The problem I was having, however, was that when the temperature...

When listening to instrumental music, do the specific chords/tones/cadences trigger specific emotional respone from the brain, or would any emotions attached to music be related to an experience related to that music. ie. would E- to D+ trigger a specific emotion, or would it depend on each...

I want to send the sheets that are on finale over the internet to you tube users so they can post videos of them playing it. I have encountered a problem. How do I upload or save the finale document in a way so that they don't have need to have the finale program to view the document by...

if space contains space dust, wouldn't the space dust be a medium for sound to travel?

Do you listen to music while doing maths? Have a vote. Note in the poll question, it should be Studying maths, the word 'maths' was left out. Explain your reason and the pros and cons of doing it. If you do listen to music, then which type of music do you listen to? I find that it makes dong...

Can anyone recommend some good symphony orchestra music that would fit well with the construction of a science video? Topics would possibly include evolution, origins of universe, galaxies, history of Earth, etc.. Thanks.

Just wondering, does anybody here listen to this old band, Moby Grape? They were some 60s band and have some great music. Just brought it up because I'm listening to them now..

Hello everyone. I'm not a Physics major: I'm a Music major. And I have a question. I've read various books on acoustics, but I still haven't found the answer. Ok. The way I see it, there are 2 basic types of sounds (I didn't get this out of a book, it's my own conclusion from everyday...

Classical music is frequently used in commercials, tv series, movies, etc. Can we sort out what is what? Take for instance the tune of the lone ranger.. Familiar? Final part of the Ouverture Wilhelm Tell. The full version in an excellent setting (wait till 2:30 min) Another one...

I can't hear him properly and if someone can explain it to me that would be great. I have taken grade 12 physics. Thanks.

My 10 year old daughter is going to be allowed to listen to her mp3 player in classes this coming school year. They will allow it as a "sonic mask" to help her to not get distracted quite so easily. The requirements for sound are either white noise, music with no vocals, (ie. classical) or...

Is their a legitimate music p2p service that charges its customers a monthly fee for downloading unlimited songs instead of paying 99 cents for one song? Because I listen to a lot of music and 99 cents a song is just to expensive for a college student like me. I ask if there are legitimate p2p...

This may be more appropriate for the metaphysics forum, but since this is my first post, I'll give this area a shot. What is the relationship between music, mathematics and descriptive language? By descriptive language, I mean any language that describes the world as it really is...

I keep seeing all of these cell phone ads that only talk about playing music, as if that is the only reason to buy one. I thought you were supposed to talk on them. What do you buy a cell phone for?

Was given an assignment to create an AI that can control the music's volume by using fuzzy membership function (slightly soft, soft, loud, very loud) via voice control but the problem is we need to implement hardware into the project because my course is Electronic Engineering. So far, I've...

so... i'm working at a summer co-op position at a software company until August I basically work on the computer all day, so I was thinking that it'd make my workdays a lot more bearable if I could listen to music while working, you know? :confused: would it be OK if i just started to...

Homework Statement a stringed musical intstrument from a remote tribe in Africa sets up a standing wave along the .75 m length of the string. This length corresponds to the distance between the first node and the seocnd node. The string has a mass of 11.5 grams. The strings vibrates 300 times...

First of all I am not really that far into my physics knowledge (I'm still in high school). I have a projct to design an instrument and explain how is sound produced by my instrument. I was planning to make an electric instrument such as a synthesizer using my computer engineering course...

For some reason, I am getting into some of the 80s music. Give me some good stuff to listen to. So far I've got: AC/DC - Hells Bells <- such a good song. You Spin me right round - dead or alive. Glenn Frey "The Heat Is On" I just listen to them on Youtube and buy the ones I...

I am not sure where this is exactly suppose to go but I need some help with the mathematics behind musical theory. I searched the forums and didnt really find a related topic. The instraments I play are guitar and piano. I recently started the piano though and it made me question many things...

Heres a music video someone made driving around campus on youtube. Ahahaha, neat.

Does reading or studying while listening to music improve or worsen your mental process?

I am in Gr.11 chemistry, and I am suppose to study and do a report and presentation on anything related to chemistry. My teacher suggested that I do something that I am interested in and then relate it to chemistry. So one thing that I love is music, and I am kind of stuck in terms of how i can...

I use to like you tube. It's free, it's full of... well you can find a lot of cultural content on it. Anyway, I am not sure this is a "classic". Keith Jarrett - Improvisation on Rhodes (1971) But now I have doubts about Keith Jarret ! Well, that was back in the 70's right :rolleyes:

Could you manage to restrict your music to 10 albums/CDs and be anywhere comfortable with the choice if you were stranded on the proverbial desert island? For the record, I would probably be busy making a guitar out of locally available materials so I could cop Elmore James songs... Here's...

i like to listen to music a bit and one of the things that everyone who listens long enough notice is a circle that never ends, same thing with lots of things. now I've heard that the circumference of circle is an infinite number and that's what people seem to concentrate on if pie ends knowing...

"physics and math music" I wasn't sure where to post this but here's the question. I have to take a 2 hour bus ride about once a week at night. since i can't really read then i thought that it'd be cool if i could get some lectures or something in a mp3, wma, wav... format. Does anyone...

Life without music would be a mistake.

Hi. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me whether I'm correct or not. :smile: 1. An open pipe (open at both ends) and a closed pipe (closed at one end) are the same length. If an organ blows air across the top of each pipe, what is true of the frequency (and pitch) of the...

Tom Lehrer! I just found a few neat clips on youtube: The LY song: [PLAIN][/URL] "New Math": [PLAIN][/URL] "Silent E": [PLAIN][/URL] And, finally, a 2-part live performance by himself: [PLAIN][/URL] [PLAIN][/URL] Enjoy!:smile:

What is it in our brains that makes us enjoy music?

What makes a song great?

I have wanted to do this for a while but cringe when I see the cost of the commercial systems. I want to be able to make lights flash in sync with mp3s on a computer but do not want to spend a lot of money. I know there are visualizations incorporated into Winamp, Windows Media Player, etc...

delete! I have always had what appears to be a rather limiting perception of music - specifically vocals. I am unable or unwilling to understand word in the music I listen to. People always say, "I really like these words" or "this song has so much meaning" and I'm like all "What?" When I...

I may discuss a lot of philosophy, but my true passion is music. So, I figured I wanted to share it with you guys.. I have two songs that I've recently made, which are made on the computer, but with orchestral sounds.. So here they are, hope someone likes them...

Get out of my thread yomamma I've started to notice that people are absolutely psychotic about music. It's as if its oxygen to them. If someone doesn't listen to music for a few hours, they will become murderous. I would say a good 90% of my friends say music is the most important thing in...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8610362188397291938" was so painful, I had to share it with you all.. Just to ... Well share in the pain? :smile:

Which if any of these would you buy, http://classicalmusic.about.com/od/cdreviews/tp/topalbums2005.htm and what dvd player would you buy to play it on? i have never owned one so i do not have a clue what to look for.

Hi everyone. I'm seeking advice from you lovely people because you seem pretty clever and switched on. Any advice you can offer me is greatly appreciated :). Basicly the synopsis of my problem is that I am experiencing a conflict between my passions for music and my Physics studies at...

Music lovers have to love this deal, all CDs $5.99 with free shipping, no tax. http://www.yourmusic.com/enroll/enroll_200507.html After all that choice I can't understand why all I want to listen to is Liz Wright singing Stop, I'm Confessin', and anything else she decides to grace with her...

I'm wondering what happened to the minimalist music of several years ago. It allowed one to concentrate and actually enjoy the changes. The changes caused me react differently than to what may be considered standard musical format. Much different than say to Mozart conpositions, or to Queen's...

This is pretty funny... http://stringschool.blogspot.com/2006/04/string-theory-hits-music-scene.html Never tought I'd hear the words supersymmetry, brane or the concept of 11 dimensions in a song :smile:

anyone know of any kind of music software where it'll let me like write my own music? something that will give me lines that i can put notes in or something like that? it can't be expensive either.

Hey guys, I have 2 questions: 1. If you press the loudness pedal on a piano and sing a note, a sound usually comes from the piano, why? 2.With a trombone, a skilled player will produce an attractive sound, whereas an unskilled player will produce an unattractive sound while playing the same...

What type of music does everyone listen to when working? Please post your artists/composers as well.

This came out last week, but I just realized that I didn't advertize it on here. This is a kick-ass website hosted by Rutgers University. It has interviews and oral essays by some of the biggest names in physics. Of course, I'm partially biased to it because for once, there's a...

Back when Thriller first came out I loved it. I thought the "Billie Jean" dance was terrific, and I must have watched the zombie video 30 times. In light of his later weirdness, I am careful not to mention this album as having been among my favorites. In fact, I will deny having just wrote...
