Mac Freak - System Problems
Wouldn't you know it; just as I'm thinking of my new Alpha-powered linux box, the old Mac gets wheezy - maybe this will help ;->

Java Sound Programmer's FAQ
2.10.
I have a byte array and want to write these data to an audio file.
Create a ByteArrayInputStream object from the byte array, create an AudioInputStream from it, then call AudioSystem.write(). [TODO: code example, alternative approach via AudioOutputStream]

Jazz Theory & Ear Training
-Art from This is Art on CBC radio 1 is also a teacher of music! This is his approach to jazz ear training
-b
Standard presentations of jazz theory start with a study of a few chord structures: major 7, 7, minor 7, minor 7 b5, diminished 7, and then go into the question of which type of scale (or "mode" as they often incorrectly call it) to play for each one. It has always seemed to me that, for someone interested in getting their ear together, this approach is singularly useless. Sure, armed with a saxophone, you can play a C major scale against any background you want, whether an F# minor chord, or a Boeing 747 crashing into your living room. But try singing it: that is a very different story, and one which I suspect most scale-wanking instrumentalists would rather not confront.
