![]() ![]() ![]() Never does the Pandora app feel cluttered, but as it adds podcasts and on-demand listening into the mix, radio listening might eventually get crowded. There’s also a dedicated button to replay a song and full screen display with the ability to share a song and start a new station.īecause the primary focus of Pandora is to play radio-like stations, the app remains easy to navigate. Those include a sleep timer and alarm clock. Scattered throughout are lots of nice touches that make sense for a music app. Once you’re playing a song you can swipe up to display bio information about the artist along with the elements of the particular song: instruments used, types of rhythms, and more. The Pandora app displays plenty of information about tracks without being too cluttered. Otherwise you’ll need to start a station from the song. Pandora’s radio functionality resides in its main app so when you search for an artist or song so you’ll see the song you search for-you just can’t listen to it unless you subscribe to the Premium service. You can also shuffle stations if you really want to add some variety to you life. Every time you start a new station it will be saved until you delete it. You can search for an artist, song, mood, or decade to start a station or choose one of the premade stations to get started. Pandora’s roots are all about radio functionality and so it’s definitely the service to beat. If you’d like to match Spotify’s on-demand listening function, beyond just radio, Pandora Premium can do that as well, which also costs the industry standard $9.99 per month. Not only will you get a music-only listening experience, but you’ll be able to skip more songs if you don’t get a song you want to hear. If you’d like to ditch the ads it will cost you $4.99 to go to Pandora Plus. Pandora took off because of its decent music recommendations, but also because it is free with ads-just like traditional radio-and remains that way to this day. Its music genome project helped identify similar artists and songs so well, it became popular among the general public, young and old, looking for an endless supply of music. Pandora wasn’t the first to do streaming internet radio, but it was the first to usher in an era of good streaming radio. Overall, Spotify Stations is fast to get started, easy to use, and probably exactly what most people are looking for when they decide the time-of-day calls for music to be playing. To that end, it would be nice to see a history of the past songs you listened to in Stations so you can save the ones you might have missed. It would be neat if all the saved songs became its own playlist within Spotify as well, like “Favorites from Stations.” Combining the “save” feature with the thumbs up, traditionally meaning “play more like this,” is a little too minimalistic. The first and most obvious is a way to save a song to your library without it necessarily influencing future music. Stations shouldn’t be criticized for being overly simplistic, but it could use a few minor feature additions. If you look at it this way, Stations is just a lightweight interface which should enable you to hit play and forget about the rest of the choices associated with picking out music. Stations allows the company to offload the radio functionality without being confusing. The Spotify app already has this radio functionality, but its desktop and mobile devices are verging very close on becoming iTunes-the butt of every joke for including too much stuff and being too complex. If you aren’t intrigued by unlimited, on-demand music enough to subscribe to Spotify in the first place, maybe you’re looking for something more like a radio station, in an easy too use package. That’s why it might be the perfect way to listen to music-and as simple as turning on the radio. Stations is a fast way to get music playing and show off the company’s world-class algorithm recommendations. There aren’t many more features than those yet. If you like or hate a song you can give it a thumbs up or down to influence future music, but that’s pretty much it. You can also rename stations, have stations play only a single artist or mix in a few you like, and limit it to all similar music or just those artists. (A feature particularly useful because it’s easy to accidentally switch stations.) Once you have multiple stations, you can slide up and down to switch to the different stations, and as a nice detail, stations pause and resume as you go back to them. Or, search for a song, decade, or something else. To get started, add a “station” by tapping in the top left corner and select an artist or a mood. ![]() If you do pay for a premium account you won’t hear ads and can skip as many songs as you want. The app is free and will play ads if you don’t pay for Spotify Premium. To get started, you need to sign up or sign in to an existing Spotify account (a free account works). ![]() What is Spotify Stations and how much does it cost? ![]()

![]() ![]() VIA Design Architects situated the building to conserve 65% of the site for open space (not to mention pollinator plantings), and more than half the site supports habitat low impact maintenance strategies and habitat restoration. The central atrium where the slopes intersect includes a grand staircase that doubles as risers for all-staff assemblies and accommodates a small conference area beneath it. ![]() In elevation, the dramatic slopes of each axial volume creates opportunities for a variety of spaces inside from airy to intimate. In plan, the building’s main axis is composed of two long volumes that saddle up to each other and contain common areas, break-out spaces, circulation, and offices. Regionally, the project is part of a spate of cities upgrading their facilities to meet greater demands and a higher standard of green including Moseley Architects’ LEED Sliver Patrick Henry Recreation Center (and PreK-8 School) for Alexandria, completed in 2000, and iStudio’s LEED Gold Marvin Gaye Recreation Center for DC, completed in 2018. Operating seven physical centers, accommodating dozens of after-school and weekend classes (from archery to martial arts to swimming), and hosting birthday parties is as much of an infrastructural challenge as it is an administrative challenge. Locally, the project arrives at a critical time for Virginia Beach as it recovers from COVID-related rec center closures and, now that they’re back open, current and future staffing shortages. In 2020, VIA Design Architects completed the Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation Administration Building, which consolidates multiple offices from around town and facilitates Virginia Beach’s sustainability goals of environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic vitality. Image courtesy VIA Design Architects.Īdministering all of these needs is a separate challenge altogether. It would be too obvious to say “less is more” here, but the fact is that the less programmed today’s recreation centers have become, the closer they have gotten to actually accommodating community needs, which privilege flexibility over fixed amenity. The mathematics of the ideal recreation center have changed recently, however, measured less by how intricately they’re programmed and more by how adaptable they can be. The not-so-good ones were easy to spot because of their shabbiness, usually because of the cost of maintaining “more.” The good ones were regularly maintained and became community hubs. Pools, gyms, basketball courts, tennis courts, handball courts, playgrounds, ball fields, changing rooms, and offices-all defined spaces for specific activities.

After the berg strips are soldered, it can be mounted onto a breadboard, or an enclosure can be built with banana jacks for connecting probes constructed with alligator clips, as I have done. It has two channels and a waveform generator, which is more than enough for folks to run a basic electronics lab at home. It can’t be a replacement for a decent oscilloscope, but it’s surely a boon for tinkerers on a budget. ![]() “I’ve been using the Xprotolab Plain for the last two years for my everyday basic hobby projects. He also shared his experience with the tool. His test gear with Xprotolab Plain at its core is shown in the figure below. Manoj Patnaik, a Senior Consultant at TERI - The Energy and Resources Institute, New Delhi - took yet another approach, which he shared with me. This can help trim down the noise on analog signals. What might be preferable would be to modify the module to use a coaxial cable terminated with a pair of standard BNC connectors. There is also a noise aspect to connecting via the 0.1-in. If you require a 5-V logic interface, you will need an add-on voltage translator chip (like the SN74LVC245A from Texas Instruments) to increase the input’s tolerance. Also, the logic level that the module works with is only 3.3 V. For one, the interface software is not ultimately stable. I was slightly disquieted with a few things. Looks nice to me! I also confirmed the accuracy of the display by comparing it with measurements by my more traditional (and expensive) benchtop GWInstek DSO (digital sampling oscilloscope). The image below is a random snap of the resulting display on a Windows 7 (圆4) laptop. I want to be able to monitor those signals as output power varies. These signals are at the same frequency and pulse-width reference but with certain phase shift between them. At the power project’s heart is an “Arduino Uno” microcontroller configured to render two “interleaved PWM” outputs. In my case, I currently have the Xprotolab Plain hooked up to a rather “dirty” prototype of a power electronics project. Once you are satisfied with your setup, remove the jumper wire and connect the scope’s inputs to the signals in your circuit from which you want to capture data. The next step is to connect the module’s AWG pin to CH1 through a jumper wire and observe the PC’s screen. When the application starts, it will try to connect automatically. After that, power up the module by connecting it to the PC’s USB interface. For MS Windows, first download and install the interface software (XScope) and device driver (WinUSB). To begin using the “scope,” you will need software. For experimental purposes, the module can be mounted on a breadboard after the solder work, with a bunch of standard male-to-male jumper wires as the test probes. The headers are relatively easy to solder by hand. The Xprotolab Plain comes with a pair of male-headers. Its technical performance specifications include:Ī complete feature list, user manual, interface software, technical support forum, and more are available on the manufacturer’s product page. The module uses a USB interface to connect to a computer for control and data display, running under Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Android.

This is what gave birth to the loudness wars before streaming services existed, where musicians would try to maximize peak volume to produce a more sonically pleasing art piece. ![]() Some also believe that louder music tends to sound better. Hence, loudness normalization has to account for these perceptual offsets. You can put out these sounds at the same volume level, and human hearing would still perceive the sustained sound as louder. You might hear this processing referred to as EBU R 128 volume detection.įor instance, sounds that are sustained at the same audio level as sounds that are played transiently or briefly automatically sound louder. Human hearing accounts for different volumes and amplitude separately since the human ear has certain subjective flaws when it comes to perception. The loudness normalization process is more complex since it takes into account the human perception of hearing. The normalize effect through peak normalization is strictly based on peak levels, rather than the perceived volume of the track. Basically, the peak normalization processes audio based on the upper limit of a digital audio system, which usually equates to normalizing max peak at 0 DBs. This process finds the highest PCM value or pulse-code modulation value of an audio file. The dynamic range remains the same, and the new audio file sounds more or less the same outside of the track transforming into a more loud or quiet audio file. Peak normalization is a linear process where the same amount of gain is applied across an audio signal to create a level consistent with the peak amplitude of the audio track. ![]() ![]() Most of the time, normalizing audio boils down to peak normalization and loudness normalization. There are different types of audio normalization for various audio recording use cases. The entire recording atmosphere and sound should be fairly consistent throughout, so you might have to go back and adjust gain within the context of all songs. You might also normalize and edit audio files upon completing a music project like an album or EP. This is particularly essential in processes like gain staging, where you set audio levels in preparation for the next stage of processing. You can also normalize audio to set multiple audio files at the same relative level. This can be incredibly useful while importing tracks into audio editing software or to make an individual audio file louder.Ĭreate A Consistent Level Between Several Audio Files Targets for the most popular streaming services are as follows:Įach engineer has their own philosophy when it comes to determining the target level for each master, but these standardizations should be taken into account.Īudio normalization can be used to achieve the maximum gain of each audio file. Every platform has a different target level, so it's not uncommon to have different masters for various streaming platforms. This way, listeners won't have to drastically turn the volume up or down when switching from one song to another. Streaming services set a standard normalization level across songs hosted on their music libraries. So why is it important to normalize your audio files? Here are a few scenarios in which loudness normalization is a must: Audio normalization is essential for any digital recording, but there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, every single audio clip should be approached differently when it comes to the normalization process. ![]() For instance, a peak amplitude might become squashed or distorted through the process of normalization. It's worth noting that songs with a larger dynamic range can be more challenging to normalize effectively. For instance, you might have multiple tracks within an album or EP. It can also be used to create more consistency across multiple audio clips. This brings your audio file to a target perceived amplitude or volume level while preserving the dynamic range of the tracks.Īudio normalization is used to achieve the maximum volume from a selected audio clip. When you normalize audio, you're applying a certain amount of gain to a digital audio file. With the advent of DSPs or digital streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, audio normalization has become an essential part of the process.īut what does it mean to normalize audio? And how can you normalize your own digital audio files? Below, we'll share exactly how to normalize audio and why it's a key step in modern music-making. Over the past three decades, the reality of how we consume music has completely shifted. ![]() |
