...but some don't. Hearing these songs I always wondered how hard is it to make one. It turns out having free time, computer skills, and some rhythm are all you need, well some computer First you'll need some great to get started. The first thing you need is a computer. A lot of dubstep is the sound effects. You need a fast computer with a lot of memory. If you want a Mac, make sure it has 1.8 GHz, with an Intel Processor 2-4 GB of RAM and is OSX 10.5 or later. If you want a PC, make sure it has 2GHz Pentium or Celeron processor 2-4 GB or RAM Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 a sound card with ASIO driver support. Next you'll need a music software, my favorite is GarageBand. The music software is used to prepare tracks, sample songs, mix and record. Other popular software is Fruity Loops, Cakewalk Sonar, and Renoise. You should strongly consider adding external hardware to the setup. Having a basic USB mic on hand to record vocals or raps is a good idea and good way to create new sounds to use. If you're at all interested in incorporating original found sounds or acoustic elements and manipulating them in your dubstep music, a solid microphone is a good idea. The next step is to learn about your equipment. Playing with the instruments you have on your computer can be a good way to familiarize yourself with what you will be working with. Always take the tour of any software you choose to install, it is always a big help. Next...

...Nickole Krause(black) Brandon Craven Connie Fugate Christopher Lemmons Competitive Structure (1)Personal computer software systems by definition are part of the consolidated industry. The consolidated industry is an industry made up of a small number of large companies, or in extreme cases, just one company which are in position to determine the industry’s prices. There are a small number of personal computer software systems such as Microsoft, which is a huge competitor for our company’s software system. Customers are always wanting more. They always want the new, big and better things which is why you constantly find technology products being upgraded or updated all the time. Customers will be satisfied with our product and will be willing to pay the switch over costs because of the upgrades this system has compared to Microsoft. Our system takes up less memory space on the hard drive, takes full advantage of the power of the personal computer’s microprocessor, and can run applications much faster than Windows. The software system is also much easier to install and has voice command with a 99.9% accuracy on top of the keyboard and mouse. I believe that the voice command will win our customers over because they are all about that voice command nowadays. To help us analyze the competitive structure in our market of personal computer operating systems we must take a customer-oriented view of the business. We must know what our industry boundaries are in order to stay ahead...

...sharp designs, and high quality. Apple also used a plug and play system with all its own peripherals as a major advantage. But with their own hardware and software, Apple’s computers were very slow and came with very few compatible programs. After Steve Jobs came back to the company, he instilled strong teams and leadership. He put the focus back on innovation by increasing R&D. He also establish Apple’s original strategy of premium products and customer service. He then introduces a website to set up direct sales with customers. Jobs partnered with Microsoft and added USB connectors to become more compatible with other applications and software systems. This eliminated a huge disadvantage Apple previously had. Apple products are also harder to duplicate and substitute because of it’s own proprietary design. Industry foresight has been a huge competitive advantage of Apple. Their innovation has shaped the consumer electronics industry. It has also kept competitors on their toes. Apple sets the standards for the industry. With their customer loyalty, Apple has become a strong brand name. They have product differentiation with the ease of use and design. Vertical and horizontal Integration is another big competitive advantage. Apple has always designed and developed its own operating systems, hardware, application software, and services. They also provide many complementary products, which helps them control entire user experience. This became more prominent with their Digital...

...Aneshia Price English 1101 Paper 3 Draft 2 Problems of Software Engineering The world of software engineering is a dynamic one. There are many benefits of the field including high rate of pay and wide availability of jobs. However, there is always a downside of everything great. Besides the years of rigorous training, there are problems once you enter the field. If you ever need to change jobs, it will be difficult due to the amount of competition (Enriquez). You also have to constantly keep up with changing technology, if you do not keep up the pace, you can easily be replaced. Also, it is a major challenge to just secure a job with a major company like Google. The hiring process is not like a “regular” job. To get a good job in this field, you must be the best of the best and be able to maintain that status to keep your job. There is also an incredible amount of stress related to this job. While it may seem like a cozy inside job, there are many stressor within the software engineering career. The major issue with becoming a software engineer resides in the reason that also makes the field such a successful one. While jobs are plentiful in the field due to changing technology, this also makes it very easy to lose your job. There is always someone waiting to take your place, and since many software engineering jobs allow you to work from home, you have to deal with international competition. Companies are always looking for someone to do the job for less and, “[a]lmost...

...Apple.Inc A business case study Prepared for: Prof.John Sateja Prof.Edward O’connor New Jersey City Universty Prepared By: Ahmed Elsery Elisa Flores Mazin Almudares Date: 5-8-2015 I. Company Background On April 1976, the Apple Computer was formed by a 25-year-old then Steve Wozniak and a 21-year-old then Steve Jobs who were both college dropouts . It had its humble beginnings tracing its first location of where they started to build computers in Job’s family’s garage. The years that came after became witnesses of how such first creation led to one of the biggest names in the industry now. The ideas and early innovation techniques that emerged from this location would set the foundation for building one of the most important and globally effective technology companies the world has ever seen. In fact, some diehard Apple fans come from all over the globe just to pose for pictures in front of this now-famous garage. Wozniak, the true technical mind behind the building process of Apple’s early computers, spent the summer of 1976 building the company’s very first computer. Figure 1 first apple computer Meanwhile, Jobs began creating advertisements and found a buyer for the computer. The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, proved to be Apple’s first major customer, and coincidentally the first retail computer store chain in the world. The two Steve were able to build and sell fifty Apple computers that summer, all from within the confined space of the...

...CRITICAL COMPARISON: WINDOWS VS. LINUX This report is a critical comparison of the computer operating systems (OS), Windows and Linux. It is written for an average audience that uses a computer almost everyday and is now curious to know which operating system is better. The audience is assumed to have sufficient knowledge to understand the various aspects of an OS, but is not aware of the specific details of each OS. This report analyzes the different features of both operating systems in order to arrive at a conclusion on which OS is better for daily use. Both systems are evaluated on a wide range of criteria such as cost, installation process, software applications, hardware, user interface, security/stability, troubleshooting, and the implementation of the OS itself. These will help decide which of the two systems is better to use on a daily basis. Before I begin the comparison the reader needs to know that Windows is created, maintained, and updated by Microsoft. No one from outside can access the underlying code. However, Linux is created and updated by volunteers all over the world, which is why there are so many different variations of Linux like Red Hat, SuSE, MandrakeSoft and a few more. The important features of the operating systems are discussed below. COST The Windows operating system is significantly more expensive than the Linux operating system. In fact, the Linux...

...volunteer project I chose to do was to help the choir teacher at Kenmore high school, Ms.Bellamy, with anything she needed. In my time volunteering I organized music, took extra time to learn new songs to perform at the concerts, make bell work for her classes, and perform at nursing homes and hospitals. I have been helping Ms.Bellamy with these things for 3 years, even though I haven’t been getting volunteer hours for it. I love to sing, read, and write music. That is why I like helping her with these tasks. Through my high school years I have learned a lot about music, but there is still so much that I do not know. In this paper, I will break down how a music producer goes about making beats, recording singers/rappers, and putting the finishing touches on upcoming songs. The Sound Engineer A sound engineer’s job is to make a beat for the song, set up the recording equipment, record the artist, and put the finishing touches on the song to make it sound the best it can. A sound engineer has to be proficient with different types of recording media, such as analog tape, digital multitrack recorders and workstations, and computer knowledge. There are four distinct steps to commercial production of a recording that a sound engineer is responsible for: recording, editing, mixing, and mastering. Recording is when the engineer physically records the artist rapping or singing. Editing is where the engineer applies auto tune, which makes the voice sound perfect, and tweaks the rhythm...

...From the scenario for Katrina’s Candies, determine the relevant costs for the expansion decision, and distinguish between the short run and the long run costs. Recommend the key decision-making criteria that Katrina’s Candies should use for expansion decisions in the short run and in the long run. Provide rationale for your response. Relevant costs are those that are avoidable or can be eliminated by choosing one alternative over another. Relevant costs are also known as differential, or incremental, costs. In general, variable costs are relevant in production decisions because they vary with the level of production. Likewise, fixed costs are generally not relevant, because they typically do not change as production changes. However, variable costs can remain the same between two alternatives, and fixed costs can vary between alternatives. For example, if the direct material cost of a product is the same for two competing designs, the material cost is not a relevant factor in choosing a design. However, other qualitative factors relating to the material, such as durability, may still be relevant. Likewise, fixed costs can be relevant if they vary between alternatives. Consider rent paid for a facility to store inventory. Although the rent is a fixed cost, it is relevant to a decision to reduce inventory storage costs through justin-time production techniques if the cost of the rent can be avoided (by subleasing the space, for example) by choosing one alternative over another...

You can emphasize words with a louder note, changing the note itself, a longer note or including a rest before or after the note. Experiment with your song and see what sounds the best. 2. Listen to and Learn from Other Composers There is something to be learned from every single musician or band out there. Listen to how your favorite musicians construct their songs—examine the style, the tone, how different instruments work together and so on and so forth. You can implement many of the same ideas into your own music or even take some of their riffs and tweak them to fit your style. This is a great way to come up with new melodies. 3. Use Music Composition Software Music composition software can be a musician's best friend. These programs aid in the writing process by organizing your work and allow you to see what you're playing. Quality software packages provide features including a metronome to keep beat, playback, so you can listen to what you've composed, input, so you can hook your instrument or microphone directly to your computer and notate a song you play or sing and...
