B5- CREATING MUSICAL MATERIAL THROUGH PRODUCTION

 B5


EQ (equalisation)  

Equalisation allows you to edit the frequencies of music ,to cut out or enhance certain aspects of the sound within the range of 20 -20000 hz (range of human hearing.)

COMPRESSION 

 The process of reducing a signals dynamic range. This is so the range between audio signals isn't so distracting , both loudest and quietest parts are clear 

BUSSING 

Typically used to group several audio tracks which can be then manipulated , as a group, like another track. 

makeup gain : sets the volume to the same level before compressing because compressing increases volume .We use it to hear if the compression has made any difference to the quality of the sound. Allows you to hear the actual effect of the compressor with ought †he volume change 


Threshold:

the level at which the compressor begins to work 

Ratio : 

expressed in decibels .

A ratio of 2:1 indicates that a signal exceeding the threshold by 2db will be attenuated down by half , so in this case it would be one or , for a signal exceeding the threshold by 8db it will be attenuated down to 4db . 

Another example would be a signal of 16db attenuated down by a 4: 1 ratio this would attenuated it down to 4db.

The positive of using ratio and not just cutting it past the threshold is that it allows dynamic within the piece. 

ATTACK AND RELEASE:   

Attack is the reaction time of the compressor ; and is responsible for how much of the initial impact or transient gets passed the compressor. 

Release is the path allowing mixers to breathe.  


PHASE 

Cancelling phase by using 1:3 ratio for mics 

Destructive phase - occurs when two waves are not in phase with each other. Imagine there are 2 sin waves however occurred at different time so the peak of one lies at the midpoint of another .We don't usually work with sin waves in music as they are simple and our music waves are more complex .

Phase can become an issue in studio when using more than one channel to record a single source ( multi miking drums etc ) 

Constructive Phase: constructive phase are when

 D9 Personal Project  INTRO  My personal project will be me writing and recording a 3 track single . I would like it to be indie folk/ pop genre and I have been deeply influenced by people like sufjan Stevens and the neighbourhood both lyrically and through their production both create quite a dark but peaceful type of listening experience which I would like to capture in some form in my music whether through lyrics/ production or both .  *Overall , depending on how the next few weeks ago , my main aim is to make an original song and promote it.  I will be, and have already, watching quite a few videos on people like sufjan sevens and Phoebe bridges production process and even Charlie puth who , isn't the same vibe as other artists ive mentioned , is just a great producer ,particularly for vocals , and I find watching his videos really helpful regardless of the genre your working on . I will do this so I can hopefully capture some of their techniques into my music to capture that k
