21.10.2024 - 8.12.2024 / Week 9 - Week 11 NIE WEIQIU/ 0360239 / BA of Design (HONS) in Creative Media Sonic Design Project 2 LECTURES   Week 9 / 22.11.2024  In this week's class, we learned on microphones as we start on our second project. Every microphones has different polar patterns.  Types of microphones: - Dynamic microphone - Condenser microphone - Shotgun microphone Patterns: - Omnidirectional - Cardioid - Hyper cardioid  - Figure of Eight Proximity Effect:  As a sound source moves towards a directional microphone an increase in response to low frequency to occur.  The closer you get, the more Barry White you get. *The smaller the room, the less white noise you will get.  *Tips: Record 2-3 seconds of white noise before starting on recording the voice Noise Reduction *Aim is to reduce the noise without altering the voice - Make sure the noise is reduced as much as you can - Find a stable voice part from the track - Select the part > Effects...

Label 2. Track Colour 3. Each individual track should not clip (too loud) 4. Grouping - Easier to manage Multitrack > Tracks > Add Stereo Bus Track (has its own volume control) Make sure the tracks are mixed and good to go  5. Master Mix in Mixer should be 0 6. Export with 48000 Hz, 16 bits as WAVE Week 6 / 31.10.2024 Public Holiday - Deepavali Week 7 / 7.11.2024 Background sound is needed  Make the sound fade out when it ends When we need to cut the sound, cut it at the intersecting point of the waveform and the middle line  Project 1 - Auditory Imaging The task for Project 1 is to create an audio montage scene from 6 options provided to us. We have various options to choose from and we need to provide various sound effects fo...

27.9.2024 - 15.10.2024 (Week 1 - Week 4) NIE WEIQIU / 0360239 / Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media / Taylor's University Spatial Audio Design Task 1 / Exercises INSTRUCTIONS Fig. 2. Module Infomation Booklet LECTURES Week 2 / Sound Fundamentals and EQ Nature of Sound   Sound is the vibration of air molecules that stimulates the eardrums. The vibrations form sound waves through propagation (movement).  Production: The air molecules starting to vibrate. The source. Like vocal chords or speakers.  Propagation: The medium in which the sound travels. Like the air.  Perception: The eardrums vibrating, the brain translating the signals. Week 3  Properties of Sound Pitch - Frequency: Vibration per second  - Less vibration > Low pitch > Low frequency; More vibration > High pitch > High frequency - Hertz: Cycle per second  Loudness - The perceived volume or intensity of a sound Timbre - The quality of a sound that distinguishes it...
