Compression basics
1 like146 views
A compressor is a device that automatically controls the level of an audio signal to make recordings sound more polished by controlling maximum levels and maintaining higher average loudness. Compressors have different circuit types including valve, optical, FET, and VCA compressors that each impact the audio signal in different ways, such as adding coloration or emulating tube sounds. Parameters like attack, release, threshold, and ratio determine how compression is applied to the audio.

Introduction to music production categories of effectssaij07
油
This lesson discusses the different categories of audio effects used in music production. There are three main categories: dynamic effects, delay effects, and filter effects. Dynamic effects act on amplitude and the dynamic range, and include compressors, limiters, gates, and expanders. Delay effects apply to propagation by delaying the audio signal and include delays, reverbs, phasers, and flangers. Filter effects apply to timbre by allowing certain frequencies to pass through while blocking others, including low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters. Each effect category was explained in more detail along with common controller parameters.Frequency

This document discusses frequency and its applications in equalization (EQ) and sound synthesis. It defines frequency as the number of cycles per second and describes how frequency is perceived as pitch. It discusses units of measurement like Hertz and how humans can typically hear frequencies between 20-20,000 Hz. It then covers topics like the frequency ranges of instruments, EQ, octaves, EQ bands, different types of EQ like parametric EQ, shelf EQ, and notch filters. It includes assignments to experiment with EQ in iTunes and record vocals to sound like they are coming from a telephone.Compression

The document provides an overview of audio compression, including:
- Compression systems use a programme path and side-chain to reduce the dynamic range of a signal when its input level increases.
- Controls for compression include threshold, attack, release, ratio, knee, and stereo link. Threshold determines when compression is applied. Attack and release affect how quickly compression is applied and removed.
- Compression can be measured using meters showing gain reduction in dB. Compressors use different circuit types like VCA, FET, and opto.Dynamic range compression
Dynamic range compressionmusic_hayes
油
Dynamic range compression reduces the volume of louder sounds and increases quieter sounds to narrow the audio dynamics. Hardware compressors were developed in the 1960s, while software compressors are now commonly included in DAWs to emulate real studio compressors. A compressor reduces signals above a set threshold by a ratio to control the dynamic range. Controls like attack, release, threshold, ratio, and makeup gain allow adjusting the compression amount and characteristics.Sound Engineering introduction to mixers

Digital audio can be in the form of sampled audio or MIDI data. Sampled audio involves capturing an analog sound wave by taking regular samples of its amplitude at a certain sampling rate. MIDI data instead conveys musical performance instructions rather than the actual sound. While sampled audio requires more storage space, MIDI files are smaller and can be embedded in web pages more easily. When choosing an audio format, considerations include file size, compatibility, and the sound playback capabilities of the end user's system.Audio

Digital audio can be in the form of sampled audio or MIDI data. Sampled audio involves capturing an analog sound wave through sampling at regular intervals (sample rate) and storing the amplitude measurements digitally. MIDI data instead stores instructions on how to recreate a musical performance without the actual sound recording. While sampled audio provides higher quality sound, MIDI files are smaller in size and can be changed without affecting pitch or quality, making them suitable for early web embedding. Factors like file format, playback capabilities and sound type must be considered when adding audio to multimedia projects.Yamaha AG03 Onwer's Manual.pdf

Mixers are electronic devices used to combine audio signals by routing and changing their level, tone, and dynamics. They allow adjustment of levels, equalization, effects, monitoring, and recording. Mixers come in various sizes from small portable units to large studio consoles. While intimidating for beginners due to many controls, mixers essentially have duplicated channel strips that make them easier to understand once you know how each channel works. Each channel strip contains gain, EQ, auxiliary sends, panning, and a level fader to control the signal flow and mix.E ms 50-g_fx-list_v3

Echo Chamber is a stereo reverb and delay plug-in effect, used to create psychoacoustic models to simulate sounds reflecting from surfaces in a room or space. Optionally a delay can be added to yield a spacious and open sound of a repeating, decaying echo to complete a sense of space and depth to a 'dry' input signal.
A highly tweakable, versatile, and inspiring solution for ambience effects, that produces a natural sounding room reverberation and delay effect giving a true room perception, from small rooms to large caverns as well as generates a doubling echo, slapback echo, ping-pong delay and analog tape delay. Offers multiple controls for modifying one or both channels to produce a rich array of time-based effects.
Available as plugin in VST and VST3 64 bit versions for Windows as well as in Audio Unit for macOS. These plug-ins are perfectly suited for any type of audio production when acoustic space simulation is needed from recording to post production in 64 bit platforms. Small rooms have a high percentage of early reflections (the first feedback from the closest objects) that can give more body to tracks. It is also good with acoustic guitars and voices. Larger rooms presets are better with strings, or wind instruments and synthesizer pads.
Features:
Reverb and delay algorithms that delivers a rich reverberation and echoes by providing a spaciousness and depth to simulate the sound reflections from walls, floors and ceilings in an acoustically reflective environment.
Flexibility to control Left and Right channels separately in Reverb and Delay units as well as in 'dry' signal output.
Reverb unit works as a Stereo enhancer and mono-to-stereo creator, to produce a wide stereo image or stereoize a mono sound source. In Delay unit, improves the stereo image by adding a slight delay to one of the channels.

This document outlines the steps for developing critical thinking skills:
Step 1 is to identify an argument by establishing a line of thinking with reasons presented to support a conclusion. Effective arguments have two relevant reasons that logically lead to the conclusion.
Step 2 is to evaluate the evidence used to support the argument. This involves considering whether the evidence is relevant, recent, relies on assumptions, or shows potential bias. The strength of an argument depends on unbiased, sufficient evidence that is directly relevant to supporting the conclusion.Proposal and assessment

Compression basics
- 1. Compression A compressor is a device for automatically controlling the level of an audio signal
- 2. Compression The use of compressors can make recordings sound more polished by controlling maximum levels and maintaining higher average loudness.
- 3. Compression Additionally, many compressors will have a signature sound that can be used to add coloration and tone into otherwise lifeless tracks.
- 4. Compression If a ratio of 2:1 is set, an input signal exceeding the threshold by 2dB will be output with a level of only 1dB over the threshold It 'turns down' the audio when the level exceeds a threshold set by the user
- 5. Compression To make the effect of compression smooth and natural- sounding, compressors often allow attack and release time parameters to be set by the user attack release The output control is used to restore the peak level of the compressed signal to that of the uncompressed input signal
- 6. Valve Compression Valve (or Tube) compressors have a slower response than other forms of compression. Because of this, they have a "vintage" sound that is nearly impossible to achieve with other compressor types.
- 7. Optical Compression Optical compressors affect the dynamics of an audio signal through a light element and an optical cell.As the volume of an audio signal increases, the light element emits more light, which causes the optical cell to lower the volume of the output signal.
- 8. FET Compression FET or Field Effect Transistor compressors emulate the tube sound with transistor circuits.
- 9. VCA Compression VCA or "Voltage Controlled Ampli鍖er compressors use solid state circuits.They are usually cheaper than tube or optical compressors.VCA's also tend to have less "colour" compared to optical or tube compressors similar to digital vs. analog tape comparison in recording.
- 10. Noise Gates A noise gate mutes the signal when it falls below a certain threshold the rate or release time determines how slowly the gate re-opens
