MEP EP#208: Brian Kaczynski with Second SoundBrian Kaczhnski  Brian earned his Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 2001 Has worked since 1999 as a mixed-signal/RF ASIC designer focusing mainly on LAN applications such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, etc His passion for music and desire to bridge the gap between acoustic/electric instruments and music synthesizers (both analog and digital) inspire his current work  Second Sound  Why the name Second Sound?  It sounds cool and refers to a quantum mechanical phenomenon   How many employees? ACO100 and ACO160 ICs  What is an audio controlled oscillator?  Frequency detection   ACO160 vs ACO100 Moving from custom Ic to Firmware solution?  What drove this decision? How does this differ from the hardware solution? Will you be offering the ACO100 IC?   Development Boards   Integrated Circuit creation  How did you go about designing these chips?  Software? Required Files?   What was your process of getting them manufactured? Tips and tricks for people wanting to manufacture Ics? Challenges and what to avoid?   What changed to enable going from a chip design to a MCU firmware based design?

MEP EP#208: Brian Kaczynski with Second Sound

How do you make a series about gangsters in 1920s Birmingham, or a drama about Dickensian London? This week on the podcast, we talk to line producer and BAFTA member Brian Kaczynski, whose job it is to turn scripts into series. Working specifically in television, some of Brian’s recent credits have included the critically acclaimed crime drama Peaky Blinders. A recent panellist at a BAFTA Scotland event held at the University of Edinburgh, he spoke to us about how on-demand services are affecting the industry; reflects on the challenges he’s encountered; and explains why being a good ‘fixer’ is central to the role....This episode of Creative Lives was was presented by Marianne Hanoun and the editor was Ivor Manly. Lecture in Progress is made possible with the support of a number of brand patrons – they include ustwo, GF Smith, Squarespace and The Paul Smith Foundation.
