Audio Terms and Definitions

• Sound Wave
  • A vibrational disturbance that involves the mechanical motion of molecules transmitting energy from one place to another.
• Compression
  • Reducing a signal’s output level in relation to its input level to reduce dynamic range.
• Frequency
  • The # of times per second that a sound source vibrates, is expressed in hertz (Hz).
• Hertz
  • Unit of measurement of frequency; numerically equal to cycles per second (cps).
• Infrasonic
  • The range below the frequencies is audible to human hearing.
• Ultrasonic
  • The range above the frequencies of human hearing.
• Pitch
  • The subjective perception of frequency – the highness or lowness of a sound.
• Fundamental
  • The lowest frequency a sound source can produce. In other words, it is also called the first harmonic or primary frequency which is the lowest, or basic, pitch of a musical instrument.
• Sound Frequency Spectrum
  • The range of frequencies audible to human hearing: about 20 to 20,000 Hz.
• Octave
  • The interval between the two frequencies that have a tonal ratio of 2:1.
• Bass
  • The low range of the audible frequency spectrum; is usually from 20 to 320 Hz.
• Midrange
  • The part of the frequency spectrum to which humans are most sensitive; is the frequencies between roughly 320 Hz and 2,560 Hz.
• Treble
  • The frequency range between roughly 5,120 Hz and 20,000 Hz, the highest two octaves audible to human hearing in the sound frequency spectrum.
• Equalization
  • A signal-processing device that can boost, attenuate, or shelve frequencies in a sound source or sound system.
• Amplitude
  • The magnitude of a sound wave or an electric signal is measured in decibels.
• Decibel (dB)
  • A relative and dimensionless unit to measure the ratio of two quantities.
• Wavelength
  • Distance between two peaks of a wave
• Velocity
  • Speed in a given direction
• Harmonic
  • Is a multiple of the fundamental frequency
• Phase
  • Factor in the interaction of one wave with another, either acoustically or electronically

Summary

This song was written, recorded, and produced in the span of about 3 and a half hours, which may not seem like a very long time, but considering most of my projects I’ve been working on for over a year are nowhere near done, it’s kind of a big accomplishment for me. I wanted to write something that’s out of my comfort zone just to experiment with what I’m able to do. The lyrics are actually written about falling in love with an anime girl, believe it or not, but they can also be interpreted as falling in love with someone who lives far away that you know you can never be with due to the distance.

Questions

Do all the transitions flow smoothly?

Are the melodies at least somewhat catchy?

Peer Feedback

“The vocals and the guitar really complimented each other. Very good harmonization with the vocals.” – Michael

(Paraphrased) “The melodies aren’t necessarily catchy, but they don’t need to be.” – Tristan

Summary

This song is heavily inspired by mid 2000’s emo/post hardcore. The lyrics are going to be written about searching for love.

Questions

How do the drums sound? Is the guitar tone good?

Peer Feedback

“that build up with feedback was really cool” – Liam

“maybe make the drums a little quieter or make the guitar louder” – Connor

“maybe you could use OverDrive (for the intro guitar) Marius” – Hank
