Connection Essentials: The ABC’s of A/V Plugs and Jacks
Got the Home Theater system connection blues? It’s always a bit frustrating to newcomers and seasoned audio-video enthusiasts alike when you’re faced with that array of input and output connectors. But it helps to understand which connectors to use and what kind of signals each carries.
What follows is an alphabetical list of the most common types of connectors used between your new A/V receiver, video display (with an emphasis on HDTV), DVD/CD player, loudspeakers, and subwoofer, with some explanatory tips and helpful info on getting your system up and running.
a simple but extremely effective demonstration of the possibilities of sound manipulation, and the extent to which the brain can be tricked by phasing audio in a stereo environment. It works extremely well with headphones; not so well through speakers, but if you position yourself correctly you should still get an idea of how it’s meant to sound. [Actually, I take that back - you really do need headphones to get the most out of this.]

This is a sampling of some of Professor Don Gurnett’s favorite sounds of space. These sounds were recorded by University of Iowa instruments on a variety of spacecraft over the past 40 years and include audio samples provided to Terry Riley and the Kronos Quartet for their work Sun Rings.
This guitar player is composed of two mechanical systems that interact to play a range of 29 musical notes. A plucking mechanism with six independently controlled picks is mounted over the body of the guitar and a fingering mechanism with an array of 23 fingertips is mounted over the first four frets of the fingerboard.
Midi Hand Drum Rhythm Generator :
This will only work if you have a browser which will play standard midi files
Fill in the rhythm section with the strikes. Use the key below. For instance for the rhythm "Beledi" fill in:
D-D-tkT-D-tkT—
Be sure to pad the end of the rhythm out to the correct count — Use spaces or dashes or underscores as padding characters.
You can copy and paste the rhythms from the notation on my rhythms page.
This uses standard MIDI instruments for the drum sounds — so they aren’t the greatest sounding (they don’t sound like a dumbec), but you should at least be able to hear the rhythm. In particular the accent sounds (Slap, Pop) are really bad on most cards….

Virtual Audio Cable is a Windows WDM multimedia driver allowing you to transfer audio (wave) streams from one application to another. It creates a set of "Virtual Cables" each of them consists of a pair of the waveform input/output devices. Any application can send audio stream to an output side of a cable, and any other application can receive this stream from an input side. All transfers are made digitally, providing NO sound quality loss. VAC is a "wave-version" of the "MIDI loopback cable" like MultiMid or Hubi’s Loopback drivers.
If more than one applications are sending audio to VAC, it will mix all streams together. If more than one applications are receiving audio from VAC, it will share the same audio data between all targets.
VAC needs no audio card; it is a "virtual audio card" itself.

It can be done with just a personal computer (Apple Macintosh or Windows PC), a few reasonably priced software applications, and some carefully chosen budget sound equipment. Or, you can purchase one of those combination digital mixer/hard disk recorder boxes…
