如何制作LOGO

1. 用相关软件制作初步模版。如 www.canva.cn

2. 用 Google Slides 加工, 如叠加别的图片,二维码等等。

    Google Slides 可以把图片 crop 成圆形或其它形状。

3. 用 Photoshop 或 GIMP 制作透明背景,方便把 logo 放别的图上。

一般来说,应该有黑色和白色两个版本,用于浅色背景和深色背景。黑色和白色是中性色,搭配别的颜色一般都不错。

  • Best Overall: Rode NT-USB
  • Runner-up: Audio Technica AT2005USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone

Notes below are from [5].

Type

There are two main types of microphone: dynamic and condenser. Each has qualities that work well with recording voice tracks. When considering this aspect of your mic section, you really need to think about your recording environment. If you are recording in a professional studio then choosing a condenser is a great choice, as you will have better quality sound. However, if you are not recording in that studio, going with a dynamic will allow you to negate background noise and echo, which will improve your sound quality.

Polar Pattern

A polar pattern is a design that defines how the mic picks up sound. Though like with everything else this a personal preference, most podcasters will suggest you use cardioid pickup pattern. This mic will focus on pricing up the sound from directly in front of it while decreasing the influence of the sounds picked up from the side. There are three types of this polar pattern: cardioid, super-cardioid, and hyper-cardioid.

Connection

Most podcasters will be using a computer as their chosen recording device, so making sure that you have an easy hookup to your equipment is important. There are two main types of connection. You can go with a mic that uses a USB connection (which is the most frequently used by podcasters) or one that goes with an XLR hookup, which uses a port resembling a headphone jack to connect to your audio input source. This is good if you are working in an actual studio and not out of your home studio or office.


Condenser vs. Dynamic vs. Lavalier: What Does it Mean?


These are 3 different types of microphones that handle sound in different ways. Here’s all you need to know, without getting into the nitty gritty:
  • If you have a soft voice, go with a condenser like the GoMic or NT-USB. The higher gain and range will add more *umph* to your voice. Condensers are also the best mic for ASMR recordings, as they’ll pick up that airiness in your voice.

  • If there’s a lot of background noises in your studio, go with a dynamic mic like the AT2005. This will reduce sound from unwanted sources, including air vents, refrigerators, neighborhood sounds, children in the house, etc.

  • If you need to move around while you talk, go with a lavalier like the YouMic. This tiny condenser mic clips into your shirt, and can plug into a smartphone, making it much more portable than the other mics.

夏威夷语

下面内容来自:夏威夷语


夏威夷语的发展史

1778年库克船长来到夏威夷之前,夏威夷语只是一种口头语言,是库克和他的部下第一次把夏威夷语记录下来,而且他们很快就意识到夏威夷语和之前见过的毛利人和塔希提人的语言很相似。

传教士来到夏威夷之后,他们需要把口语形式的夏威夷语转换成一种书面语,然后教会夏威夷人读懂书面语,这样做的目的是传播圣经。

传教士发明了夏威夷语字母,总共是12个字母,后来又增加了两个标点符号:奥金那(okina)和卡汉库(kahako)。

 

夏威夷语一瞥

夏威夷语的字母表中共有十二个字母——五个元音字母和七个辅音字母。此外还有奥金那(okina)和卡汉库(kahako),它们是能改变单词发音的标点符号。

夏威夷语的字母是:A, E, I, O, U, H, K, L, M, N, P, W。
元音字母的读音和英语的不同:
A 读作"ah"
E 读作"eh"
I 读作"ee"
O 读作"oh"
U 读作"oo"

一般地,夏威夷语里的"W"读起来像英语的"V"。

辅音遇到元音时,会和元音一起发音,如,"H"和元音字母的组合会读作:
Ha读作"Hah"
He读作"Heh"
Hi读作"Hee"
Ho读作"Hoh"
Hu读作"Hoo"

奥金那(okina)是一个类似于撇号(')的符号,它用来分隔音节。奥金那(okina)也叫停顿,只在两个元音之间出现。以夏威夷语为母语的人和较传统的人在说或写夏威夷语时会随时添加这个符号。奥金那(okina)虽然不一定会出现在印刷品和互联网上,但会出现在各大夏威夷语报纸和许多书中。比如,Lanai 这个单词,如果不用停顿符号的话读作"Lah-nigh",用了停顿符号之后写成"Lana‘I",读作"Lah-nah-ee"。另一个例子是Molokai这个单词,如果不用停顿符号的话读作"Moh-loh-kai"(kai读起来像 sky里的ky),用了停顿符号之后写成"Moloka‘I"读作"Moh-loh-kah-ee"。虽然两种读法都是正确的,但是你要注意有时停顿符号会改变单词的意思。

卡汉库(kahako)是一个看上去像破折号(-)的符号,它标在元音字母的上面,表示这是一个长元音,要比正常读音拖长一点,这个差别很小,往往很难把握。

Emotion and musical pitch

From http://www.music-cog.ohio-state.edu/Music838/exam_questions_answers.html What is meant by a "key characteristic?"

The association of certain musical key signatures with a specific subjective quality or emotion. e.g., E major as "bright & piercing."



From http://www2.hmc.edu/~alves/justkeys.html

Many theoretical works of the eighteenth century explicitly assign certain affectations or emotional characteristics to different keys. Though these writings often contradict each other as to what these characteristics actually are, it is well known that many composers carefully chose keys for similar affectations throughout their lives. To Mattheson, for example, D major was "somewhat shrill and stubborn," while to Rousseau it was suited to "gaiety or brilliance."



From http://www.wmich.edu/mus-theo/courses/keys.html

From Christian Schubart's Ideen zu einer Aesthetik der Tonkunst (1806) translated by Rita Steblin in A History of Key Characteristics in the 18th and Early 19th Centuries. UMI Research Press (1983).

C major Completely pure. Its character is: innocence, simplicity, naïvety, children's talk.
C minor Declaration of love and at the same time the lament of unhappy love. All languishing, longing, sighing of the love-sick soul lies in this key.
Db major A leering key, degenerating into grief and rapture. It cannot laugh, but it can smile; it cannot howl, but it can at least grimace its crying.--Consequently only unusual characters and feelings can be brought out in this key.
D major The key of triumph, of Hallejuahs, of war-cries, of victory-rejoicing. Thus, the inviting symphonies, the marches, holiday songs and heaven-rejoicing choruses are set in this key.
D minor Melancholy womanliness, the spleen and humours brood.
D# minor Feelings of the anxiety of the soul's deepest distress, of brooding despair, of blackest depresssion, of the most gloomy condition of the soul. Every fear, every hesitation of the shuddering heart, breathes out of horrible D# minor. If ghosts could speak, their speech would approximate this key.
Eb major The key of love, of devotion, of intimate conversation with God.
E major Noisy shouts of joy, laughing pleasure and not yet complete, full delight lies in E Major.
F major Complaisance & calm.
F minor Deep depression, funereal lament, groans of misery and longing for the grave.
F# major Triumph over difficulty, free sigh of relief utered when hurdles are surmounted; echo of a soul which has fiercely struggled and finally conquered lies in all uses of this key.
F# minor A gloomy key: it tugs at passion as a dog biting a dress. Resentment and discontent are its language.
G major Everything rustic, idyllic and lyrical, every calm and satisfied passion, every tender gratitude for true friendship and faithful love,--in a word every gentle and peaceful emotion of the heart is correctly expressed by this key.
G minor Discontent, uneasiness, worry about a failed scheme; bad-tempered gnashing of teeth; in a word: resentment and dislike.
Ab major Key of the grave. Death, grave, putrefaction, judgment, eternity lie in its radius.
Ab minor Grumbler, heart squeezed until it suffocates; wailing lament, difficult struggle; in a word, the color of this key is everything struggling with difficulty.
A major This key includes declarations of innocent love, satisfaction with one's state of affairs; hope of seeing one's beloved again when parting; youthful cheerfulness and trust in God.
A minor Pious womanliness and tenderness of character.
Bb major Cheerful love, clear conscience, hope aspiration for a better world.
Bb minor A quaint creature, often dressed in the garment of night. It is somewhat surly and very seldom takes on a pleasant countenance. Mocking God and the world; discontented with itself and with everything; preparation for suicide sounds in this key.
B major Strongly coloured, announcing wild passions, composed from the most glaring coulors. Anger, rage, jealousy, fury, despair and every burden of the heart lies in its sphere.
B minor This is as it were the key of patience, of calm awaiting ones's fate and of submission to divine dispensation.

Scroll down to the section titled Key Characteristics

Key Characteristics

"Today many musicians claim to hear the different characteristics very clearly, and associate them with the emotional quality of the music. They will tell us that music played in the "open" key of C major---with neither flats nor sharps in the key signature---sounds strong and virile; played in the key of G, with one sharp, it sounds brighter and lighter; in D, with two sharps, even more so; and so on. Every additional sharp in the key signature is supposed to add to the brightness and sparkle of the music, while every flat contributes softness, pensiveness, and even melancholy.

C major:

E major:

F major:

Pure, certain, decisive; expressive of innocence, powerful resolve, manly earnestness and deep religious feeling
Fullness of tone, sonority and euphony
Joy, magnificence, splendour; brightest and most powerful key
Grief, mournfulness, restlessness
Peace, joy, light, passing regret, religious sentiment
Harrowing, melancholy
Brilliant, very clear
Softness, richness



Color and musical pitch

http://www.harmonics.com/lucy/lsd/colors.html: Pitch, colour, Scriabian, and others by Charles E. H. Lucy
an attempt to make a "connection through mathematics and physics"
He states that in addition to Scriabin, "Berlioz, Debussy and Wagner were also interested in music and colour and Rimsky-Korsakov considered C as white."

This site includes Scribians, The Rosicrucian Order's, and Charles Fourier's color charts for musical pitches.



Keys and Colors: Is There a Connection? by Gail Smith
Includes Amy Beach's list of key colors



From http://rhythmiclight.com/archives/ideas/modetoshade.html

From Frank Popper, Origins and Development of Kinetic Art, 1968:
p. 157-8: Scriabin held that each mode corresponded to a particular shade of colour, and each modulation to a nuance of this shade.



From Tom Douglas Jones, The Art of Light & Color, 1972:
p. 102: Beethoven is said to have called B minor the black key. Schubert likened E minor "unto a maiden robed in white with a rose-red bow on her breast." One Russion composer said, "Rimsky-Korsakoff and many of us in Russia have felt the connection between colors and sonorities. Surely for everybody sunlight is C major and cold colors are minors. And F-sharp is decidedly strawberry red!" Of his subtle compositions Debussy wrote: "I realized that music is very delicate, and it takes, therefore, the soul at its softest fluttering to catch these violet rays of emotion."

p. 103: Dr. D.S. Myers, a psychologist who talked with Scriabin, said, “Sriabin’s attention was first seriously drawn to his colored hearing owing to an experience at a concert in Paris, where sitting next to his fellow countryman and composer Rimsky-Korsakoff, he remarked that the piece to which they were listening (in D major) seemed to him yellow; whereupon his neighbor replied that to him, too, the color seemed golden. Scriabin has since compared with his compatriot and with other musicians the color effects of other keys, especially B, C major, and F-sharp major, and believes a general agreement to exist in this respect. He admits, however, that whereas to him the key of F-sharp major appears violet, to Rimsky-Korsakoff it appears green; but this derivation he attributed to an accidental association with the color of leaves and grass arising from the frequent use of this key for pastoral music. He allows that there is some disagreement as to the color effect of the key of G major. Nevertheless, as is so universally the case with the subjects of synesthesia, he believes that the particular colors which he obtains must be shared by all endowed with colored hearing."



From http://www.thereminvox.com/story/28?page=5

Athanasius Kircher system of correspondences between musical intervals and colors

Gb -- Bright Blue/Violet (same as F#)



From http://www.composersdatebook.org/archives/090400.shtml (this link no longer works 05/28/09)

Two Russian composers were fascinated with the idea of linking certain musical keys to particular colors - but came up with completely different associations. According to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, the key of C Major was "white," while Alexander Scriabin said it was "red." The two composers did agree, however, that the key of D major was "yellow" and that Eb Major was either "bluish-grey" or "steely."

Here's a list of other key signatures, with Rimsky-Korsakov's color choice given first, then Scriabin's color association:
G Major (Brownish-gold/Orange-rose)
A Major (Rosy/Green)
E Major (SapphireBlue/Bluish-white)
B Major (Dark Blue/Bluish-white)
F# Major (Grayish-green/Bright blue)
Db Major (Dusky/Violet)
Ab Major (Grayish-violet/Purple-violet)
E Major (Green/Red)

Video Recording from screen

I posted an article on video editing before. This one is about recording video from computer screen with sound.

The Software

The software used is freeware Camstudio from camstudio.org.  It captures both motion picture from selected screen area and sound.

Capture Audio

Even if you put on headphone, the sound can be captured.

File Size

The resulted avi file may be huge, e.g., about 1.6GB for 2.5 minutes. That's about 10MB/second. To shrink the size, it also contains a SWF producer to convert AVI to SWF format. Another option is to use VideoPad video editor, which can convert the avi file to a much smaller avi file (HD 1080) of about 90MB, or about 0.5MB/second. That's 20 times reduction in size. Quality does not degrade noticeably.

Recommended Settings

- Options -> Video Options, set Quality to 100, Framerates to 50 frames/second (use slider at bottom).
- Options -> check "Record Audio From Microphone"
- Options -> Program Options -> Name of AVI file (Automatic file naming)


Possible Problems

- Sometimes if audio is not recorded, you may need some configuration to use the Stereo Mix option. See: Audio: record from Microphone.

- Error message: "File Creation Error. Unable to rename/copy audio file". This happens when the AVI video is long and video size exceeds 2GB, which is the size limit of a AVI file. The solution is to decrease recording frame rate, e.g., from default 200frames/second to about 25 frames/second. See here.
