This document provides an overview of a listening skills session that focuses on reverb and its effects on different instruments. The session aims to help students identify how reverb affects instruments, analyze reverb on different instruments, and analyze recordings in terms of the microphone techniques used and applied reverb. It discusses the basics of reverb, including early reflections, late reflections, and how room size impacts reverb. Examples are given of suitable reverb levels for different instruments and vocals. Students are tasked with applying reverb to recorded instruments and submitting a recording analysis.

This is a very basic overview of some audio production situations to be aware of. Specifically, this slideshow addresses some basic microphone usage and placement tips.
Sound is a multi-layered mixture of various elements. All things audio make up the soundtrack, and each has their own respective priorities, contexts, and purpose.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. By the end of this session you will…
• Be able to Identify how Reverb can effect an Instrument
• Be able to analyse Reverb on different instruments
• Be able to analyse different recordings for the suitability of
the microphone techniques used and the Reverb applied
4. Reverb is
Reverb is the sound we hear after we hear the direct sound (The
instrument/singer/speaker we are listening to)
•Firstly we hear the direct sound –(An
instrument/singer/speaker)
•Secondly we hear Early Reflections
•Thirdly, as the sound continues to bounce of reflective surfaces,
a continuous stream of sound fuses into one entity, which
continues after the original sound ceases (giving us Reverb)
6. Room Size
The size of the room we listen in effects the amount of Reverb, but why?
•The previous image was based on a 20ft room
•If the room was larger, the reflections would take longer to reach our ears
•This means that there is more time for a build up of echos/other reflections
to happen during the time these reflections return to our ears
•The more reflections that occur, and the longer they take to decay gives us
the sound of a large reflective space
•The less reflections that occur and the quicker they decay the smaller a
space will sound, or with less Reverb
9. So how does this effect an
instrument?
When a string of a guitar is played many notes or harmonics are
heard, not just the note we perceive
The other strings slightly reverberate and add to the texture of
the sound
Although we only perceive one key harmonic called the
Fundamental harmonic, there are other harmonics adding to the
texture of the sound
10. So how does this effect an
instrument?
When there are reflections in a room, the harmonics
carried in these reflections effect the sound of the
instrument by being absorbed into the wood (of a
guitar) and into the strings of the instrument effecting
the sound we hear
11. Examples Suitable reverb
As with many techniques in music, the application of Reverb is
entirely subjective, however some examples of suitable Reverb
are:
•Vocals – Nearly all recordings apply some subtle Reverb here
•Rock Electric guitar solos, or Clean guitar sounds sound nice with heavier Reverb
•Most/All Drums in a Drum Kit sound good with subtle Reverb, Cymbals generally
sound better with less Reverb
•Strings/Brass sound good with heavier Reverb as these are usually recorded in a
larger room as part of an orchestra
•A Piano usually requires a good amount of Reverb to capture all of the texture of the
different harmonics from the many strings inside the Piano
12. Task
•Open Cubase
•Select an Instrument
•Notate a melody
•Add some Harmonic content using other instruments – (You can
add an Harmony by making one instrument play the same line as the melody, raised
by two notes)
•Use reverb to create a suitable acoustic environment for the
instruments use.
13. Microphone types and positions
Some common microphones
used:
•Shure SM57 & SM58’s – Dynamic mics
used to record guitars, snare drums.
•AKG D112 – Kick Drum Mic
•Neumann U87 – Vocal mic.
14. Microphones and Listening Skills
For this Unit we do not expect you to name the Microphones
used
However, it may be possible in some recordings to describe
•where the Microphone was placed
•And how many microphones were used
•Whether each instrument was recorded separately or all
performed at once
16. Task
You are required to…
Write a 200 word review of an album you have heard in the last
year, it must:
•Critically describe and analyse the album
•Reflect on the artists other work (Albums, collaborations,
singles)
•Evaluate the album in context to similar artists
…save it, and email it to: dvoss@shipley.ac.uk.
