City Sound Environment
Coufalová, Jana ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (advisor) ; GUŠTAR, Milan (referee)
This bachelor thesis about sound background of the city analyses the relationship between sound, surrounding and its inhabitants. It focuses mainly on sound (audio) abilities in context of surrounding and the tradition of sonosphere.
In the second part of this thesis the sound map of Prague is created. It offers an alternative way of perceiving and discovering a city through listening.
The purpose of this thesis is to offer residents of the city another point of view of the environment they live in. To encourage them to listen attentively in order to connect public and private space.

Granular synthesis and its application
Sklenář, André ; URBAN, Ondřej (advisor) ; GUŠTAR, Milan (referee)
This work amis to describe the principles behind granular synthesis, its development history and individual aspects of a granular synthesizer. It aims to familiarize a musician, composer or sound engineer with its details and consolidate the knowledge of a technically knowledgeable music technology user or developer. The work expects the reader to have a basic knowledge of sound physics and its digital representation, aswell as theoretical knowledge of software analysis. The work is divided into two parts. The first part addresses the theoretical properties of granular synthesis and its usage in music history and today. The second part represents a practical example of an application of granular synthesis in the form of a plug-in in several formats and examples of its usage.

Low frequency amplification for live sound aplication
Hamouzová, Eva ; PINKAS, Martin (advisor) ; GUŠTAR, Milan (referee)
This thesis offers insight to the issue of subwoolfer amplification in live sound application. The introduction discusses the role of subwoofers in sound practices and the impact of low-frequency spectrum of the human body. It describes a creation of PA system as process of design, construction and final control measurement. In first part thesis deals with principles of connecting several subwoolfer sources to the systems - Arrays. It describes Radiation patterns and evaluates consistency of sound field on low frequency range. Further part of work follow up the application of delay of whole system or its parts, Beam steering. The aim of this work is to evaluate particular systems from practical point of view when used in interiors and exteriors on so called "Open air" venues.

Impact of new instrumental possibilities for composing thinking
Krejčík, Jan ; BARTOŇ, Hanuš (advisor) ; GUŠTAR, Milan (referee)
The work describes the concept of disklavier Yamaha (player-piano) with electronics, the concept of a sampler with sampled human voice controlled by an Ondéa interface (Martenot waves) by J. Krejčík and the concept of the interactive piano by J.-C. Risset.
The examples of pieces composed on the basis of these concepts show, how these concepts have affected their definitive music form. The work undertakes a review of the relationship between a musician's gesture and an instrument interface and its relevance to musical perception and thinking. . The work is complemented with a summary of the historical development of player-piano, and Martenot waves.

Importance of microphone Preamplifier and their creative Application for recording music
Hamouzová, Eva ; GUŠTAR, Milan (advisor) ; URBAN, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this work is to discover effect of mic preamps on the music recording, and what is the main sound material where their influence is most evident. Causation of mic preamps will be described by measuring several selected models. The output of measurement is dependent of harmonic distortion on the input level. Frequency response of the second and third harmonic distortion. Further part of work is the listening survey, whose output is an overview whether and how are perceived the differences between types of mic preamps.

Art of Magnetic Tape Music
Šmitmajer, David ; GUŠTAR, Milan (advisor) ; CÁB, Michal (referee)
The thesis "Art of Magnetic Tape Music" is dedicated to the genesis of the art of music magnetic tape and its effects on the development of modern music. Through a detailed survey of texts dealing with related issues and preserved audio recordings from around the world, the work seeks to map the importance of magnetic carriers, which inherently has helped the creation of electroacoustic music and also development of pop music. Special emphasis is placed on the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, when the methods of audio recordings manipulation were developing rapidly and were used for compositional practice which at that time was experiencing numerous innovations and technological development. Described is a generally accepted typology, methodology used and the specific design of equipment needed for sound work with a magnetic medium. Marginal survival technique for the magnetic tape manipulation in the global audio digitization at the turn of the millennium is also taken into account.

Electric guitar - The Pallet of Sound Colours
Zázvůrek, Jan ; Pinkas, Martin (advisor) ; Guštar, Milan (referee)
Master work "Electric Guitar - The Pallet of Sound Colours" shows the work of sound engineer at making the sound of playing the electric guitar. It wants to show the maximum possibilities of doing it. The focus will be above all the relationship between guitar - guitar amp and the way of taking the sound. Of course it shows some of modern methods, for example re-amping. For completeness, there are some chapters about the origin of electric guitar, playing styles and amps also. Of Course there is accent on shows of variety of sound colours of electric guitar. The CD ROM with the sound shows is attached.
