Regretfully it seems as if AudioAnecdotes won’t have a booth at Maker Faire this year. We had planned fun audio (and even ultra-sonic!) projects involving the hot but unobtainable Raspberry Pi but alas Maker Faire registration has come and gone and we have yet to even receive a ship date on our boards. Disappointing but will [...]

Jambox LIVEAUDIO?
I am an early adopted and fan of Jawbone’s Jambox and find myself using it much more than I hoped I would (surprising for a tech gizmo). I was intrigued by an email promising a 2.0 Jambox firmware update containing LIVEAUDIO, a feature hyped as increasing “depth, detail, and unprecedented spatial realism” to this tiny [...]

Audio Scene Analysis is the study of how we humans can make [...]

I was hoping to use the Jambox with my iPhone to listen to [...]
David Thiel Pinball Composer
Audio Anecdotes Contributor, Microsoft Research Mentor, Father of Q*Bert’s voice, and good friend David Thiel has, among other things, been composing music and sound effects for Stern Pinball since leaving MSR. Stern being the sole remaining pinball maker makes David’s gig composing interactive scores and sound effects for pinball machines rather unique. David recently created [...]
