So I think it is amazing how digital recording works. It uses the binary method to help it grab the info and with that we can take different bit rates. Also this allows us to do things that never were capable in the analog era such as ISDN. Come on how cool is that? We can record someone anywhere in another studio without compromising the sound! I would love it if we could set up a session with another Art Institute and try it out.




1.) Is there anyway we can use the ISDN with another studio?


2.) What epuipment is used for ISDN?

Propasal

Ok so I had posted this already but for some reason it didnt post. So here it is again.
I plan to give my speech and paper on how distortion for guitar came to be about. I have found a couple of article on it and its history in the music business. I hope others would find how one of the greatest used effects for guitar, came to be about. We have been a generation grown up with using distortion for guitar in rock bands. So why not learn how that came to be?



1. How will the order of speeches be decided? can we volunteer to go?

2. What exactly are you looking for in our speech?

wow so I didn't think we had to do a journal seeing how we are supposed to be studying for the midterm and I esp didn't know it had to be do by noon !! So last class we reviewed things for our final and went of our quizzes.I would have done even better on the quiz had I known that vague def. could have been used, becuase I was beating myself up over actual specific defenitions. One example was phase. I think it was good to review but I would think it to be better to have some sort of study guide so we know exactly what will be on the exam.



My questions for this week are
1. What are these propsals about? will we be going over them in class?

2. Is there any better way to explain phase other than 2 waves and if they are opposite amplitudes they cancel?

Mics!!

I Love learning about microphones. It is just something about them that catches my attention. I feel like I pretty much have that section down in my head without having to go over it a lot. When we covered them I felt way more knowledgeable about what I was seeing when I went into guitar center and other music stores. The polarization chart is one that comes up a lot on the boxes of the mics sold in guitar center.




Questions that I have on the class are:

Will we ever get to use the different mics in class to see how they pick up sounds?


Are there any videos or picture to help show the sound wave's strength making the magnet move in the mic, because it is just amazing to learn that the sounds we capture are strong enough to rattle something like that inside the mic.

Class this past week was very informative. All the words that you read on audio parts and mics started to make more sense. I also learned other interesting this such as the human ear can hear from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Cool part of the class is when we hear two different decibel sounds individually but then we heard them together which resulted in one of the sounds being drowned out by the other. When there is a covering of one sound from another sound then you have what is called masking.


Will we be using Pro tools every class?

Who is the first person to be curious of the Decibel levels to map them out?
