<td><p>Working with sound and vision in the theatre realy inspires. Naturally
it is a great challenge to collect and read as much information about
the subject as possible. <br>
<br>
It seems that there is not that much information available. Subjects
like sound effects and Foley effects are just not covered, or cramped
away in a small chapter or a single paragraph. Sometimes there is some
information about radio plays or sound production. It quickly becomes
very clear that the real-time or live aspect of our challenge is just
not an issue in the conventional audio (or video) diciplines.<br>
<br>
Another requirement is that the tools we build and want to use are easy
to transport. A box with gravel to make the sound of footsteps, or a
big metal plate to create thunder are just not too practical. Most of
the time these sounds are very well reproducable with a lap top
computer or custom made small acoustical devices. That is all part of
the search for usable real-time effects.<br>
<br>
With a little research on the internet, a few useful articles or
inspiring resources can be found. Please take a look at the hyperlinks
below. If you have additional suggestions for book titles or websites, <a href="/en/p-content/1087221847" target="content">please let me know</a> and I'll add them to the list.</p></td>

into it
on the internet but haven't red it. Based on the description it seems
to deal with various acoustical sound devices and effects. Might be
some kind of standard work about the subject but for now I just think
it is too pricey to order it and find out. If someone can lend (or
sell) me their copy,
I'm very interested although.<br>

<td width=999* valign=top><p>A book by Piet Ekel (AKA 'Malle Pietje' in the popular TV-series
'Swiebertje' way back in the sixties) about the history of radio
drama and audio theater in the Netherlands. There is almost no
technical
information about how the sound effects where generated. I like the
book very much although because it is a historical (and sometimes
sentimental) journey back in
time. A must read if you want to know more about this wonderful art and
the impact it had before or just after television made its
entrance.<br>

the book is a description of some popular commercial sound editing
programs. Might get outdated quite soon because this field is very
dynamic. It gives a nice review although of the types of applications
and the theory of digital audio.<br>

<td width=999* valign=top><h2>Second Edition</h2><p>Applications running under OS X can be either 'procedural' (Carbon) or
'Object
Oriented'. The latter can be achieved by using Cocoa as the programming
language. Applications build in Cocoa are 100% native OS X. A drawback
could be that it will be more difficult to port the application over to
another operation system with a procedural API (Application Programming
Interface) like Linux. Perhaps it is a good idea to develop <a href="/en/p-content/1093687086" target="content">Foley OS X/Linux</a>
directly in Cocoa. Because the development of the application is still in
progress this book might turn out to be very valuable as a reference. <br>
