In a video production, audio is arguably a more important factor than picture. In this course, you will learn how to edit, process, mix, and master audio for your video projects. You will learn how to use essential audio plugins like EQs, compressors, gates, expanders, and de-essers. You'll learn how to clean up dialog tracks by fixing noise, reverb, and mouth clicks. You will also learn how to mix and process effects so that they sit in the mix. Finally, you will learn how to use some mastering plugins like compressors and limiters to keep your audio levels and tone in check.

Remy Marco, Prohibition beer baron, figures he'll do even better after repeal. Only trouble is, his beer tastes terrible. (He drinks no beer himself and nobody dares tell him). Four years later, when he's about bankrupt, he visits his summer home in Saratoga, complete with: 1) a dead-end-kid orphan; 2) his daughter's fiance…a state trooper!, 3) the bodies of four gangsters who planned to ambush Remy but had a shootout; 4) half a million in loot they hid in the house…just the amount Remy needs to get out of hock. The comic confusion mounts…

Margot Bracken returns home to Germany after several years of absence, and is horrified at the degraded status which has been forced on the women of her homeland. Toni Hall is prevented from marrying her sweetheart. Both women speak out against the terrorist reign and are imprisoned. Pagan baptisms, "mercy" killings, sterilizations, government-encouraged vice and the cruelties of the Gestapo are only a few of the practices they see or endure.

A Spanish overlord controls 16th-century Tuscany. He plans to marry into a prominent Italian family and hires an Englishman to serve as bodyguard for his less-than-eager fiancee.

For his first live album in about 20 years, Sammy Hagar, according to his liner notes for Hallelujah, originally wanted to capture a full concert, but since that ran nearly three hours, he scrapped that and culled highlights from a St. Louis gig in 2001 and selected shows from his co-headlining tour with David Lee Roth in 2002, when Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony was part of the band. Hagar worked out a neat trick where he sequenced the album like an album, not a concert, but retained the raw, live, feel of a concert.

Only a handful of American blues artists have gained the financial rewards that come with international success. Memphis Slim was one of those elite performers. His brand of blues runs the gamut from R&B to folk-and, after experiencing the warm welcome given to him and his co-stars on the blues boom package tours of the early Sixties, he decided to settle in Europe. His recording career began in the late Forties with his band, the House Rockers, when he enjoyed Billboard R&B chart status with 'Blue And Lonesome' and 'Angel Child', both recorded for Miracle Records of Chicago.

The OpenGL® Programming Guide, Sixth Edition, provides definitive and comprehensive information on OpenGL and the OpenGL Utility Library. The previous edition covered OpenGL through Version 2.0. This sixth edition of the best-selling "red book" describes the latest features of OpenGL Version 2.1. You will find clear explanations of OpenGL functionality and many basic computer graphics techniques, such as building and rendering 3D models; interactively viewing objects from different perspective points; and using shading, lighting, and texturing effects for greater realism. In addition, this book provides in-depth coverage of advanced techniques, including texture mapping, antialiasing, fog and atmospheric effects, NURBS, image processing, and more. The text also explores other key topics such as enhancing performance, OpenGL extensions, and cross-platform techniques.

OpenGL is a powerful software interface used to produce high-quality, computer-generated images and interactive applications using 2D and 3D objects, bitmaps, and color images. The OpenGLA (R) Programming Guide, Fifth Edition, provides definitive and comprehensive information on OpenGL and the OpenGL Utility Library. The previous edition covered OpenGL through Version 1.4. This fifth edition of the best-selling "red book" describes the latest features of OpenGL Versions 1.5 and 2.0, including the introduction of the OpenGL Shading Language.

OpenGL is the fastest and most widely available software standard for producing high-quality color images of 3D scenes. This practical guide shows X programmers how to construct working 3D applications using OpenGL and how to tightly integrate OpenGL applications with the X Window System. Written by a Silicon Graphics X Window System and OpenGL expert, OpenGL Programming for the X Window System uses the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) to show how OpenGL programs can be constructed quickly and explores OpenGL features using examples written with GLUT.

One of the changes Microsoft brought with .NET was to submit C# and theCommon Language Runtime for standardization. As a result, for the first time,people have been able to develop open source tools that can be used withMicrosoft's tools. These open source tools are important because they givedevelopers increased efficiency and flexibility. This is the first book to showhow to use these new tools, including NAnt, NDoc, NUnit, Draco.net,Log4Net, and ASpell.Net. The author is an active member of the open sourcecommunity, and has contributed to several of these projects. He shows how touse all the tools with both Visual Studio .NET and with the Mono Project, theleading Open Source IDE for .NET. This book should appeal equally to .NETdevelopers intersted in what open source tools are available to them, as well asto open source developers who are curious about .NET. Just as Javadevelopers have embraced open source Java tools such as Jakarta, Ant, andJUnit, .NET developers are eager for this information.
