Dear Brain,

No more Fourier Transform dreams, please. I don't like being stuck in the frequency domain.

Love, Fish

What does it say about my brain that I can think of at least two songs (one original filk and one often sung in circles but not Pegasus-eligible) about complex math? (Psi Nought and Mandelbrot Set respectively...)

I thought one point of the FT was to be able to get in and out of the frequency domain at will. Maybe you just need to switch to dreaming about FFT? ;-)

We brushed ever so lightly on Fourier Transforms in the Digital Audio class that I'm taking. Very light brushing. Maybe more of a glance.

We saw it out of our peripheral vision. Metaphorically.

Crap.

I was going to make a Fast Fourier Transform joke. Guess I wasn't Fast enough...

I took Musical Computing in college, which I really enjoyed. I should go back and reread the copious notes I took. We worked on NeXT machines & used C to program the freaky stuff we did with the music samples. Gotta say, it is pretty cool to filter the sound of breaking glass through various transforming algorithms and listen to the result. &:D

NeXT machines... wow, am I dating myself, huh?

That's great!

The class I'm taking right now is a general survey of digital recording (sampling rates and resolution), synthesizer components (oscillators, filters, etc), and MIDI communication. At least so far.

It doesn't go as in-depth on some of these topics as I might prefer, but I'm still learning a ton I didn't know before. And knowing this stuff opens the door to a lot of other neat courses.

Here's something that was recommended to me for low-level sound modification:
Max/MSP by Cycling '74 (http://www.cycling74.com/products/maxmsp)

Looks fun!

I used to have dreams in continuation-passing style.

Wait, so you prefer being stuck in the time domain?

I took a Pascal class in college solely because it was they only way they'd allow you to use the NeXT lab. Those machines were SEXAY.

Well, this is from image processing, so it's really the spatial domain. But whatever you call it, that's the place I'm used to living. :)
