Formants are spectral shapings created from an acoustic resonance of the human voice tract. These are amplitude peaks in the spectrum of resonant sound sources. Even more so, they are a concentration of acoustic energy that flows around a specific frequency in the speech wave. There are a variety of them and each one corresponds…

Nowadays, thanks to the development of audio technology, it is possible—and useful—to add sub frequencies to an audio source. Since human hearing is not that sensitive, when a sound reaches a range below 20Hz, audiences tend to feel the noises rather than hear them.Today, however, it is possible to recover sub frequencies to certain musical…

Shimmering echoes have their origin in echo and delay plugins. These two are basically the same thing, although their roots are different. First, delay tends to be purely digital; second, echo usually refers to as analog tape-based delays. Echo adds feedback and regeneration to a specific mix. Moreover, when a flexible amount of delayed sound…

Controlling low frequencies is crucial for anyone who wishes to produce enjoyable sounds. To begin with, a low frequency sound, also known as infrasound, refers to as sound waves with a frequency below the lower limit of audibility. The human ear hardly perceives low frequency sounds. Regardless, some people are sensitive enough to be disturbed…
