A set of four Interactive learning objects for teaching some basic concepts of audio engineering. Created as cross-platform Interactive QuickTime Movies, using Livestage Pro4
QuickTime installation instructions:
Either download QuickTime from the Apple website, or install from the CDROM - Windows & Mac versions are in the 'QuickTime' folder on the CDROM. The installation will ask for a registration code for QuickTime Pro - this is not needed to run the Learning Objects, you can either select 'register later' and continue, or use the serial number and name provided in the 'QuickTimePro6_rego.rtf' file also on the CDROM.
You will also need the latest version of the Flash plugin
