Week 1 - CC1

This week's session of mine was obviously going through some basics of computing, mainly sound-related works which we are going to do later. Although it was supposed to be just an introduction, we got acquainted with some technical definitions as well as some facilities provided by the EMU
.
There were some information about the operating system of our laboratory in which we are using apple computers. Mac OSX 10.4 also called "Tiger" and some of the its properties - such as AMS (Audio Midi Setup), the application of "buffer" and the importance of it were discussed in the class.
The buffer has a notable role in the process of recording as it could prevent the possible errors of latency in a recording and playing-back process. To have the minimum latency in recording, it is better to have the lowest-possible buffer; whereas in the playback time, it is better to have a bigger buffer.
I was also told to set this blog up and start building a portfolio via it. Although late, I finally send this very first post and these would be continuing..
