Random Access Remixing on the iPad

Remixing audio samples is a common technique for the creation of electronic music, and there are a wide variety of tools available to edit, process, and recombine pre-recorded audio into new compositions. However, all of these tools conceive of the timeline of the pre-recorded audio and the playback timeline as identical. In this paper, we introduce a dual time axis representation in which thes...

Remixing Lightweight Pigs in the Grower-finisher

A recent study has shown that sorting and regrouping lightweight pigs with pigs of similar size does not improve their growth performance and carcass characteristics. M. C. Brumm and coworkers (2002) hypothesized that managing variation in the nursery and grower-finisher by sorting and regrouping lightweight pigs might improve their performance. Five experiment stations (in Illinois, Iowa, Mich...

The Remixing Dilemma: The Trade-off Between

In this paper we argue that there is a trade-off between generativity and originality in online communities that support open collaboration. We build on foundational theoretical work in peer production to formulate and test a series of hypotheses suggesting that the generativity of creative works is associated with moderate complexity, prominent authors, and cumulativeness. We also formulate an...

Score-Informed Source Separation and Remixing Technologies

We describe a novel query-by-example (QBE) approach in music information retrieval that allows a user to customize query examples by directly modifying the volume of different instrument parts. The underlying hypothesis of this approach is that the musical mood of retrieved results changes in relation to the volume balance of different instruments. On the basis of this hypothesis, we aim to cla...
