Hands-on tutorials with everything you need to learn about important concepts in audio engineering and recording. These illustrate and expand upon information contained in
Modern Recording Techniques.
Sound and Hearing
- Beats
What happens when you have two tones that differ only slightly in frequency? - Harmonics
Even versus odd - Masking
How loud signals can prevent the ear from hearing softer sounds in the same mix. This phenomenon is why stereo placement and equalization are so important in the mixdown process. - Microphone Types
In order to deal with the wide range of musical, acoustic, and situational circumstances that might come your way, a large number of mic types, styles, and designs are available for use as "sonic tools." - Phase
Crazy things can happen when your waveforms get out of alignment. - Proximity Effect
Proximity effect is a low-frequency phenomenon that occurs in most directional mics. - Polar Response
The directional response of a mic refers to its sensitivity (output level) at various angles of incidence with respect to the front (on-axis) of the microphone. - Proximity Effect
Proximity effect is a low-frequency phenomenon that occurs in most directional mics. - Reverb Types
By varying program and setting parameters, a digital reverb device can be used to simulate a wide range of acoustic environments, reverb devices, and special effects. - SMPTE Timecode
Time code recorded onto an analog audio or video cue track is known as longitudinal time code (LTC). LTC encodes a biphase time code signal onto the analog audio or cue track in the form of a modulated square wave at a bit rate of 2400 bits/second.
