Community building

Put into P2PU.org in new UX



*DRAFT*---PLEASE HACK ME!!!!!

School of Sound Tiger Team


Look Here!
Ideas for first interactive web app to be made for MHDB
The idea is make a cool web app (probaby using the new web audio API) for learning some concept in audio.
Hopefully it will attract others at MHDB to write their own educational apps and be part of the SoS Family

Inspiration: http://chromium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/audio/index.html
Imagine if all of these were education focused!



Kickstarting MHDB ideas
  1. Domain name
    1. NOT AVAILABLE but my fav - schoolofsound.org
    2. domai.nr is a great site to check for availability
  2. Setup basic site
    1. Basic info
    2. google group mailinglist?
  3. Let's choose / vote on a first interactive learning app
  4. Recruiting strategies

    1. Sound Physics
    2. Singal Processing
    3. Analog Synths
    4. Electical Engineering
      1. ohms, impedences, voltages etc ( this should be in regular engineering too )
      2. Design a basic circuit board
      3. tubes and amps

  9. Tone (this probably should not be it's own top category)
    1. School of Tone - repository of awesome tones (using SC of course) with explanation of how to recreate
    2. Tone probably should fall under Engineering of producing
      1. For producers - "This is what that sound is"
        1. Teach producers to identify what they hear through live examples (hosted on SC - loving this!)
      2. For engineers - "This is how to make that sound"
        1. Teach engineers how to recreate these sounds


Tracks ( as in curriculum )
  1. Radio / Producing / Tone schools should pre-req engineering course ( though not required )

Potential Course Targets

Other shit
