As beforeAbout mystery songs that are standard in WindowsBy saying that "MIDI file of C: \ WINDOWS \ Media \ onestop.mid" is a strangely creative song, nowCertain placesIt is being talked about in. Apparently, it seems that everyone seems to be in the Windows OS from 98 to 7 (seems to be in the OS), so the storyteller came, so when I heard it actually, it started quietly like RPG, and it started out as a story Because it was a well-formed song featuring sex, I studied composers of "onestop.mid", "flourish.mid", "town.mid".

First of all, the composer of "onestop.mid"David YackleyHe was a composer, arranger and keyboard player who was active mainly in Seattle, and it seems that he was also the director in charge of the liturgical music of the church. According to the official website there seems to have worked at Microsoft, so he was in Ohio originally until he came to Seattle in 1996, but he moved to and from Rochester, New York, Atlanta, Georgia and so on.

By the way, Mr. David Yackley is such a person.

Music in the media

Music plays an important role in our daily emotional life. In both work and play, music and tone are powerful and hard-to-share partners. However, the sound not only affects the tone but also changes the cognition. For example, there is also a report that audio quality affects the perception of our graphics quality. This means that poor audio quality will make the user feel that the graphics quality of the multimedia application is also bad. On the other hand, if good quality audio is provided, users will receive the graphics of the application favorably.

Films have appealed to the feelings of people who are using the power of music for a long time and have made cognition concrete. If it is a horror movie, the use of music will not be realistic, but you can also drag you into a terrifying invisible world. Music communicates time and place, exposing the motives, thoughts, and fears of the character. Combinations of images and sounds often create more realism than those gathered together.

In addition, advertising also uses the power of music to raise sales and purchasing motivation. TV commercials do not necessarily tell you about products about what you want to know. Rather, let me know what you want me to feel about that product. With only a short measure, music can give people a favorable impression of products and companies against listeners. With only a short bar, music can make a corporate image. Suspected songs, I feel like that, I buy products.

I also touched on the history of music and it will be helpful.

Easy (music) history

Technology has always played a clear role in the art revolution. It is the same in music. Today's music will not be played without the innovative instruments of Christophori, Adolf Sax, Les Paul. Certainly, the most remarkable of the latest technical developments can be seen in many expressions of today's music.

Improved in the 1960's and 1970's, the broadly penetrated synthesizer technology provided a new way of sound, texture and sound manipulation. The effect is far from the Beatles to Switch de Bach. As the synthesizer improves the quality of the sound, its development has gone further in many directions. It is common in most music styles to mix acoustic sound and electronic sound now.

The MIDI protocol established in 1982 was a big development. MIDI enables electronic musical instruments to interact with other instruments, and more importantly, it allows interaction with computers. General composers have come to make home studio that can control all the recording process. With MIDI, musicians can create electronic orchestrations altogether, music notation is recorded and economic means of distributing electronic music is provided. MIDI has greatly contributed to the "sound" of the 1980's, from sequencing industrial mixes to brilliant electronic soundtracks. That contribution may be compromised by incorrect timbre definitions, which could happen when MIDI files are played on random sound cards. The cause that many people say "MIDI is bad" was the weakness of this part. Also, since MIDI did not have support for interactive elements, it was limited in a considerable part.

In the 1990's, sampling technology has spread widespread. Sampling created two distinct directions that the composer follows. In one direction, the composer was brought into the art of creating a richly layered digital recording of acoustic instruments and electronic instruments. In the other direction, a creative plagiarism was promoted, and the composer "borrowed" the Rick and groove of the previously recorded artist, and started a new composition.

Sampling is outstanding in disc jockey works that "turn" hip-hop and dance mix, but its use is extensive in the recording and music industry. Sampling had a direct impact on the "retro" groove's re-epidemic.

Several formats that support sampling technology are available on the PC. The most common of these is the WAV (.wav) format. This format enables digital rendering of high bandwidth sounds. The weakness of the WAV file was that there was no standard for distributing music performance economically.
