Sound

• Sound is the most attractive item to catch the ones Sound pressure are
attract. use dB as unit.
• Sound wave is a vibration in the air create waves of
pressure that’s consist with amplitude, frequency.

Human could hear the frequency between 20 Hz until 20 000Hz. Format often used:
 .mp3
Out of the range we couldn’t hear them.  .wav
 .ogg
 .aiff
 .acc
 Digital Audio
It’s the actual represented sound that’s stored in
The highest the sampling rate,
the form of samples. the more the measurement
are taken (better quality)
The samples are the amplitude of the sound at a
moment.
Otherwise it’s lower quality
The quality is depending on the sample rate
(frequency).
To prepare the digital audio:
 
• Required a better quality of sound needed higher RAM and hard disk
resources.

• Set an appropriate recording levels to get a high quality and a clean record.

• The edition is necessary after the recording.

Other’s adjustment includes:

• Edition include trimming, volume adjustment, splicing.
• Changing format
• Resampling (change the amplitude)
• Looping and reversing sound
• Loop (repeating a part of voice)
 MIDI
• MIDI is Musical Instruments Digital Interface
 
• Usually play as web pages load or play promptly
 
• MIDI file’s length could be changing without affecting the pitch or quality of audio
MIDI analogous to vector graphics
D.A analogous to bitmap image MIDI
VS
  Digital Audio
MIDI device dependent {D.A independent}
 
MIDI < size than D.A
 
MIDI sound quality > D.A when played on high quality MIDI device
 
MIDI difficult to play back the spoken dialog, while D.A {opposite of MIDI}
 
MIDI doesn’t have consistent playback quality {D.A opposite}
 
MIDI require knowledge of music theory to access MIDI. {D.A opposite}
