SOUND EDITING

Introduction to Sound

        Vilina Hutter, Instructor
  Digital Communications/49er ROP
Sound Waves
• Sound is caused by vibrations in the air
  – Guitar strings, vocal cords, speaker cones
• Air molecules are pushed together, causing
  subtle air pressure changes
  – Ear drums interpret the pressure changes as
    sounds
• Analog sound waves represent the shifts in air
  pressure
Measuring Sound Waves
Amplitude
• Distance from the peak to the trough of the
  wave
• The higher the amplitude, the louder the
  sound
Frequency
• Number of wave cycles per second
• Measured in Hz
• The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch
Cycle/Phase
• Cycle
  – Single sequence of pressure changes from zero to
    high to low, and then back to zero
• Phase
  – Position in the cycle
  – Measured in degrees
• Wavelength
  – Time it takes to complete
    one cycle
Interaction of Sound Waves
• In Phase
  – Waves that are perfectly in phase reinforce each
    other




• Out of Phase
  – Waves that are perfectly out of phase cancel each
    other
Interaction of Sound Waves
• Waves that are out of phase in varying
  amounts combine to form a more complex
  wave
Recording Sound Waves
• Microphones convert pressure changes into
  voltage changes
  – High pressure becomes positive voltage
  – Low pressure becomes negative voltage
• Voltage changes can be recorded as changes
  in magnetic strength on tape for analog
  recording
• Digital recording is done by sampling the
  analog waveform
Sampling
• Each sample is a snapshot of the voltage value
  of the analog wave
• The more often the sample is taken, the more
  accurate the digitization of the sound will be
Sampling Rates
Bit Depth
• Size of each sample
• Higher the bit depth, the better audio quality
  is possible
Audio File Formats
• Uncompressed
   – WAV (AIFF on the Mac)
      • Files can get very large
      • 5 MB per minute for a mono file at 44,100 sampling rate
• Lossless compression
   – File formats that save space by not recording data for
     silence
   – FLAC, WavPack
• Lossy compression
   – Complex algorithms that attempt to reproduce sound
     using less data
   – MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WMA (includes DRM), ra, AAC (I-Tunes)
