OcsBox - Ocarina Sound Control Box

Hi, guys. Please watch this video of the latest version of the OcsBox. (Hopefully, it will be attached to this post soon.) Ive looked into MANY other box ideas, but this latest version is attractive, durable, affordable, portable, and VERY quiet. In case you havent noticed, I really like it! (Should it be be OcsBox or OcBox?) Spatolo, tonguing and blowing one of our ocarinas through a tube is surprisingly similar to blowing directly into the mouthpiece. However, you have raised some excellent questions. Ill try to address them after I get a chance to play a lot in the OcBox over the next several days. Also, after I try it out for a bit, Ill want to send boxes to some of you for review and feedback. Let me spend some quality time with it first, though. Wink By the way, one thing I've become convinced of is the difference between sound absorbtion and sound transmission loss. Sound passes with surprising ease through most sound absorbing materials and through any holes or cracks. For that reason, sound absorbing materials alone often don't quiet things down as much as we think they will. However, if we use heavier, denser materials (without leaks) to contain the sound, then sound absorbers like acoustic foam will help dissipate that sound energy (into low grade heat) as the sound waves meet resistance while bouncing back and forth through the foam. Noah, when I first began working on this sound control concept, all my research was aimed at creating an affordable 4 x 4 x 7.6 ...

Unifire Anti Pirate Water Cannon System at IMDEX Asia 2009

Unifire AB Anti-Pirate Water Cannon System exhibited at IMDEX Asia 2009. Unifire has created a fully automatic, non-lethal weapon for protecting ships from pirates. These cannons can be remotely controlled from a safe location (or locations) on the ship, such as the bridge, using video cameras and can be combined with foams, dyes and other chemical additives. They can also deploy pre-recorded spray patterns for automatic ship protection. Unifire's system can also work with other peripherals such as lights, cameras, valves, additives, etc. It can be complimented by other technologies, such as the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) by American Technology Corporation, slippery foam additives, etc. Because the cannons tap into a ship's existing pumps and fire fighting water supply already aboard, the system is very economical to install, and requires very little maintenance. It can be installed, maintained and serviced at sea. For more information, see www.piratesafe.com or contact Unifire AB today.

Soundproofing in Bad Economic Times

It seems to be the appropriate time for such an article. It is tough to make a decision to soundproof your home when home values are dropping and you may not be able to recoup these scarce dollars. Personally I feel that home values will soon be on the rise again and that makes soundproofing a wise investment.

In many cases bad economic times have made the soundproofing business what it is today. Fifteen or twenty years ago, most folks owned a nice single family home in the suburbs or in the country, but today with cost of housing, people are now living in condos, townhomes and coops where noise issues are a common problem. Whenever people live is the multi family dwellings, noise control is always and issue. Whether it is a noisy next-door neighbor or the footfall noise of the people upstairs, soundproofing can give you peace and solitude and will make you feel like you are the only one living there.

Soundproofing does not have to break the bank. Determine the areas in your home that are the most annoying and concentrate your soundproofing efforts and dollars on those areas. For example, if you main issue is with the bedroom, then only soundproof the bedroom. Also try to pinpoint the exact source of the noise. If the noise issues are only with the next-door neighbor and the not the upstairs neighbor, then concentrate your efforts on that particular wall.

Many larger cities are enacting laws, which require certain soundproofing standards be met before a condo, or apartment complex can be approved for construction.

If you are a contractor tasked with meeting these standards, where do you turn for help?
The Internet has a wealth of information regarding soundproofing, but if you have done any research at all, you will discover that there are many conflicting methods out there for the installation of soundproofing materials. Many soundproofing companies inflate the ratings of the materials that they sell in order to make the sale, therefore it is essential to find a reputable company that carries proven soundproofing materials with realistic sound ratings. Remember the old adage that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Soundproofing doesn't have to break the bank if you do your research and treat only the areas that need to be treated. To read more about soundproofing your single-family house apartment or condo go to: http://www.soundproofingamerica.com

"On the Sea of Life" Painting to Music

www.etsy.com www.artspigotstudio.com - This painting has been sold, but I have similar paintings in my shop at http Song written in 1927 and recorded in Roper, Georgia by George Sebren and Roper's Mountain Singers We are on the sea of life Sailing to a better home Where the saved of all the earth shall abide Leaving all our trials here, many pleasures wait us there When we cross the foam and reach the other side We are sailing onward, sailing, sailing over the foam We are talking to the captain as the angry billows hum Soon, yes soon, we'll reach the harbour and be safely over the tide We are going onward to the other side Many millions now abide in that home beyond the tide Where the ransomed pilgrims wait free from care There is room on board for all who will hear the captains call And take ship for heaven's country bright and fair In my paintings I use Golden Acrylic Paints and stretch canvas. I buy supplies at Dick Blick, Joann Fabrics, and Michaels Crafts. I am an Art Teacher, Graphic designer and children's book illustrator.

Acoustical Foam And Acoustical Drapes - Two Great DIY Ways To Improve The Sound Of Your Voice

If you are a vocalist, singer, or even when you play a musical instrument, you know that practicing your art is an important component of keeping a great voice, and a great sound of your instrument. But how does your voice improve? And how does the sound of your musical instrument improve? We'll present two ways of how you can instantly improve the sound of your voice or your musical instrument in your practicing room. These two ways are: installing acoustical foam on your walls, doors, and possibly ceiling, and using acoustical drapes. You'll be shocked how either one or both together will improve the sound of your instrument.

But that is not all. I will bet that, having a better room acoustics, you will hear yourself play better and the sound of your instrument will continue to improve at a faster pace.

Installing acoustical foam

Acoustical foam looks just like a regular foam but is created from the natural or man made materials that have special sound dampening qualities. Such sound dampening must occur over the wide gamut of frequencies, the wider the better. The range of frequencies must definitely include the frequencies your voice or your musical instrument is capable of generating. The sound absorption is both a function of the foam volume and the foam surface, so many times acoustical foam is shaped with outwards pointing spikes, or wedges, to increase its surface, and decrease the sound reflection. Installing such foam on the walls, doors, and ceilings, will not only improve your sound but will also reduce the amount of sound that penetrates outside your room, likely making the house more livable for the others.

Acoustical drapes

Acoustical drapes, sometimes termed "noise drapes" have their place when installing acoustical foam is not practical, or not allowed, such as when you rent a flat. Acoustical drapes can be either permanent acoustical drapes, installed just like the regular drapes, or they can be portable acoustical drapes, and can be moved about, possibly on a frame with the coaster wheels attached. You may want to use acoustical drapes in conjunction with acoustical foam, to cover walls where acoustical foam is impractical, such as the walls that have windows. Of you can use these sound absorbing drapes on top of the sound dampening foam, to increase the sound dampening effect.

You can expect immediately audible improvement of the sound of your voice or the sound of your musical instrument after the installation over a significant portion of the surface of your walls. And, since you will have a better feedback on the quality of your own voice or sound, you can expect the sound of your music to continue to improve as the time goes on.

Original song "In The Sea" Savanna Dawn

Here is my original song "In The Sea" For me it paints a very vivid picture. Hopefully it does for others as well. Let me know =) Lyrics: The never ceasing motion of a fearless raging ocean can be enticing to man and fraying to his plan He walks along the shore looking out for something more taking his opinions off the shelf he begins to ask himself, "how would it be to be swallowed in the sea? What would I see, if I were swallowed in the sea?" But man is lacking astute and is often not acute Man does not see the line now matter how plain the twine With one unsound desire and good which did misfire the storm began to rage upon the sandy beige The stars all went away as did all trace of the day The tide rose high so as to drink the sky What happened to the man who walked upon the sand? As the foam retreated the footprints where his feet tread were no longer there.
