To begin with, for understanding sound frequency, we must first define the term. Sound frequency is a property of sound that people typically associate with the musical pitch. It is the number of waveform cycles that happens within a specific time. The measurement of frequency is Hertz (Hz). Understanding Sound Frequency: Classification Every musical instrument…

Mastering is the process of preparing and transferring recorded audio from a source that holds the final mix into a data storage device. This data storage device is known as a master. This is the last step in the process of making a professional-sounding song. Mastering acts like a filter: a type of audio post-production…

Mixing is a process that combines multiple sounds into one or several channels. This combination includes multitrack recordings that transform into a final mono, stereo, or surround sound product. Within this process, you alter or enhance the source of the volume level, the dynamics, the frequency content, and the panoramic position. In addition, you adjust…

Sidechaining compression is a very powerful tool that allows the user to control the dynamics of a source. This technique adds space, rhythm, energy, and separation to a mix. In addition, it involves threshold, ratio, attack, and release times. When using sidechain, the user can tell the compressor to monitor and control the level and…

In particular, audio signal processing deals with electronic manipulation of audio signals, which are electronic representations of sound waves. They come in either analog or digital format. Firstly, analog signal processors work directly on the electrical signal, whereas digital ones work on the digital representation. We measure the energy contained in audio signals in decibels.…

Automation means having a DAW do tasks automatically by moving knobs, faders, and switches. It is quite common in mixing because it is capable of adjusting the volume of specific tracks. This method saves time as it allows the user to make precise adjustments within the exact timing. Therefore, it helps create unique effects. Automation:…

Modulation means changing the property of sound over the course of time. It adds motion, dimension, and depth to sounds. The process requires a source signal that controls another signal. The source signal is the modulator, whereas the controlled signal is a carrier. Modulators don’t create sounds, but they do change them by manipulating the…

Synthesizers are electronical musical instruments that produce audio signals through several analog and digital methods. The most common techniques include frequency modulation, additive, subtractive, phase distortion, physical modeling, linear arithmetic and sample-based synthesis, as well as analysis/resynthesis. They produce sounds typically shaped and modulated by low-frequency oscillators, filters, and envelopes. Musicians usually play synthesizers with…

Oscillators are circuits that produce a continuous, repeated, and alternating waveform without using any input. They are a simple way of creating a specific frequency of a signal. In short, they work by converting unidirectional current flow from a DC source into an alternating waveform. Oscillators: a Description Oscillators are amplifier circuits that have positive…

Waveforms are graphical representations of the shape and form of a signal moving. Their shapes determine what the signal sounds like: its timbre. The sound produced by a waveform depends on its shape, and these can be random and complex. For example, synths and modern keyboards create sounds with complex waveforms. The waveform of steady periodic…
