Attack - fade in to peak volume Decay - how long till it settles down to get to its normal volume sustain - what the volume is normally Release - how long till it fades out on silent Terms I need to know OSC (oscillator) EG (envelope generator) LFO (low frequency OSC)
What is an audio interface? an audio interface takes all your inputs and outputs and dose the conversation processing so the data can be read by the audio driver/software How it processes the Audio The audio inputted by XLR or Line in jack makes its why into the Mic Pre where the audio gets boosted by multiplying the voltage making the audio signal louder. the analogue signal that the cable provided is converted to digital for the DSP to allow your computers drivers to provide the software with the inputted audio....
How dose it Work? Long Answer A Condenser microphone uses a strip of mettle as a Diaphragm that the sound waves wobble in front of a mettle backplate. Electricity will use the fastest route to complete the circuit so as the mettle wobbles it will pass electrons though the air when that is the quickest route but when there is no inputted waves the resistor is the quickest way to complete the circuit...
How dose it Work? The vibrations hit against a small diaphragm that then wobbles a magnet in a copper coil field generation a small amount of current that is outputted to the XLR Cable Do I need phantom power? No Dynamic microphones do not require the extra phantom power (+48V) to function. But adding phantom power will not damage the microphone the extra power will just not be used. Examples of Dynamic Microphones Shure SM58 Shure SM57 Shure Bea 52A Sennheiser E602 Sennheiser E604 And many more
MIDI Basics MIDI is always transmitted in 8 bit chunks (bytes) - A MIDI Message will be 2 or 3 bytes (therefore, 16 or 24 bits) The first Byte in a MIDI message is the STATUS BYTE. It says what the message is (e.g. Note On or Volume Change), and what MIDI channel it is on. The next one or two bytes are DATA BYTES. They give information such as what the note is and what velocity it is....
things you can control track control volume panning, muting, aux send channels Automation mode off doesn’t lessen to any automation read plays your automation back touch allows you to modify something just while your clicking it latch allows you to modify something and it will be like that until you return it to its normal position write allow you to write the automation even if you haven’t touch anything
RT60 or reverb time is the time taken for the reverb level to fall 60db relative to the first reflection
MIDI by its self has no sound it will require an instrument to be added midi sends a note on and off it can be plugged into a synth or sampler (module) with a 5pin midi cable some synths will have a midi though port that will allow you to chain them together if using a midi interface then in ablation you will need to use instrument external instrument the midi device can then be adjusted on the fly while the track is happing
What is EQ? EQ (or equalization)is to change the balance of frequencies this was useful for making the sound clear on in the war for the telephone but this days it for altering the sound in a music track in the music world we use EQ to help make clarity of sound in a track when you got lots of overlapping frequency’s Our ears can detect a huge range of frequencies—roughly 20 Hz to 20 kHz....
What is a bit? A bit is piece of information coded as a 1 or 0 (on or off) what is bit depth? Bit depth is the number of bits available for each sample. The higher the bit depth, the higher the quality of the audio. A bit depth of 16 has a resolution of 65,536 possible values and a bit depth of 24 has over 16 million possible values....
