Sound Engineering, What Does It Involve?.pptxDerek896886
This document provides an overview of a sound engineering course, including:
- An introduction to the process of making a record from writing songs to mixing and mastering in the studio.
- An explanation of the roles of people involved like producers, engineers, and assistants.
- A basic explanation of studio signal flow from microphones and instruments to the DAW via analog to digital conversion.
- Descriptions of monitoring options like near field, mid field, and main speakers.
- An exercise for students to work together to program, record, and mix an original track.
This document discusses the key components and layout of a recording studio. It explains that speakers should be positioned at ear-level, and that having monitors on both sides of the computer screen is ideal. Recording rooms are designed to have different acoustic properties - live rooms are larger with more reverberation, while dead rooms are smaller and more absorbent. The control room contains the mixing equipment and computer for post-production work. Modern digital recording uses techniques like Cubase and Reason instead of older linear tape systems.
1) The sound desk has 24 mono input channels or 12 stereo channels. Each channel has gain, EQ, and volume knobs to control the sound.
2) Effects like reverb and delay can be added to give the sound the acoustic properties of different sized spaces.
3) Various cables like XLR, 1/4 inch jack, and kettle leads are used to connect sound sources and speakers to the desk.
The document discusses sound production equipment used with a sound desk, including its various inputs, channels, and controls. It describes the purpose of faders to control channel volume, gain to control input depth, and peak monitors to determine volume levels being sent to speakers. It also outlines different types of cables used, such as XLR, audio jack, and speaker cables. Finally, it compares active speakers with built-in amplifiers to passive speakers requiring a separate amplifier.
The Faï's Horns are a unique outdoor sound amplification system located in the French Alps. The site was found to have excellent acoustic properties for sound echoes. In 1991, an experiment using speakers amplified sound bouncing off the nearby cliff face. This led to the construction of a three-horn sound system between 1991-1997 to take advantage of the location's acoustics. The high, medium, and bass frequency horns are controlled from a sound booth and are designed to project sound that is heard through echoes off the cliff rather than directly. Specific music genres such as movie scores benefit most from the horns' ability to carry sound over long distances with echo effects.
This document provides an overview of sound production equipment, including sound desks and cables. It describes the main components and functions of a sound desk, such as its input/output sockets, channels, faders to control volume, gain to control depth of volume, and peak monitor to check speaker volume levels. It also covers different types of cables used, including XLR, audio jack, and speaker cables. Additionally, it compares active speakers with built-in amplifiers to passive speakers that require a separate amplifier.
The document discusses technical stage operations related to sound. It describes the functions of a sound desk, including controlling the volume levels of 24 audio inputs and 2 main speaker outputs. It also covers sound desk controls like gain, pan, EQ, and reverb. Active speakers have built-in amplifiers while passive speakers require an external amp. The summary provides an overview of key sound equipment and their uses in a live performance setting.
Estudi original per al set up quadrofònic dels pink floydJose Luis Tamborero
The document summarizes the quadraphonic production process for Pink Floyd's album "Dark Side of the Moon". It discusses how the album was recorded with quadraphonic mixing in mind, though initially mixed in stereo. For the quad mix, sounds were distributed across four tracks and four channels to create a spatial experience. Challenges included positioning sounds to work for both discrete quad and encoded quad disc formats while avoiding phase issues. Complex techniques were used for certain songs to achieve interesting quad effects within the technical limitations.
Spatial Sound 3: Audio Rendering and AmbisonicsRichard Elen
Part 3 of a series of four presentations that formed the basis of my short course on spatial audio for artists at the Music Department, Ionian University, Corfu, July 2008
Stereo uses two channels for left and right speakers, while surround sound uses additional channels for more speakers to enrich the sound experience. Dolby processing has evolved through several steps to provide lossless multi-channel surround sound with 8 or more channels. THX is not a recording or coding technology but a quality standard and certification system used primarily for movie theaters. The most common home surround sound layout today uses 5.1 channels, with two front speakers, two rear speakers, one center speaker, and a subwoofer for low frequencies.

The document summarizes different types of audio equipment used in sound operations, including sound desks, speakers, cables, and connectors. It describes the main components and functions of a sound desk for mixing audio signals. It explains the differences between passive and active speakers and when each type would be used. It also provides details on common cable types like XLR, phono, and jack leads and their typical applications in audio setups.
This document provides a 13 step guide to setting up a PA system:
1. Plug the power cable from the sound desk into the main power supply and connect speakers to the desk outputs using XLR cables.
2. Connect active or passive speakers to the main power supply using kettle leads and switch them off to avoid damage.
3. Adjust the gain on each channel of the sound desk until the peak meter flickers to properly balance the volume without damaging equipment.
4. Connect a sound source like a CD player to the desk input using a figure 8 cable and phono cable with quarter inch adapters.
