ThIs paper investigates the importance and val1dIty of small rime adju),lments in recordIngs to compensate for vanaoon 10 distance between spot microphones and a mam stereo pair. Conventional recording techniques, psychoacoustic considerations and lechnological aspects of the use of delays are researched in order to determine therr validity in timbrai Improvement. Multiple microphone set-ups are used ta record hoth large orchestral works and smaller-scale cla'lsical compositions where auxiliary microphones may be net"Aied to ensure an optimum balance in the final mlx. Small Ume delays <Ut! denved from calculations involving the distances between microphones, the speed of sound, and humidity and temperature readIngs from the hall. Proper synchronization of these delays is deslrable w preserve phase coherence and combat comb-filter effects. Precise delay units are used to compile musical excerpls for listening tests. The results reveal any change in sound quality and provide a basis for investigating botJ-. the positive and negative effects through objective study of the value of time delay compensation in the live recording reproduction of classical music perfonnances. 1 v RESUME Dans le ca~ de recherches sur la façon d'améliorer la reproduction de la musiqut~ classique, la te:chnique de l'égalisation de temponsauon revêt une gmnde ullhté pour l'équilibre de l'enregistrement.

MUSIC RECORDING PRACTICE: THE NEED FOR BLENDING MAIN MICROPHONES WITH SPOT MICROPHONES 1.1 Classical Music Recording Considerations The recording of a classical music perfonnance is generally most successful when Ibtcners are least aware of any signal processing by the recording technicians. There are argument!'> as to whether the reproduced sound should be as close as possible a replica of the perfonnance, or whether the recording engineer should improve on the performance where feaslble via si? 'al processmg. AIthough there is no speclfic recording technique for classical music, the microphone technIque wIll have a great effect on the reproduced sound. The choice of a particular [echmque wIll depend on vanous Clfcumstances. Three basiC philosophies developed regarding microphone placement Wlth the mtroduction of stereophonie recording: 1) l'oinCldent stereo, ~) spaced omni, and 3) multiple microphones. Each technique has its own uses in the recording studio, sorne with advantages over others 11. certrun sItuations, '\uch as a lIve event when the room IS not farniliar. There are three basic categories into whit:h lhe~e philosophies faB: single-point, main microphone pickup (mis includes ..:oincldent, near coincident and spaced microphone techniques); smgle point with auxiliary :ll1crophones, and muln-microphone technique. In the flfSt case, one stereo microphone is _l~cd to record the sound as accurately as pos:,.ti)le. This is considered to he the minimalist .tpproach. The second case uses one main stereo microphone as well with addltlonal spot mil:rophones to support '.lJeak instruments or groups.

Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

A. (Louis) Beex, Chairman Dr. Ira Jacobs Dr. Douglas K. Lindner October 2002 Blacksburg, VA KEYWORDS: Microphone array processing, Beamformer, MUSIC, GCC, PHAT, SRP-PHAT, TDE, Least squares estimate © 2002 by Krishnaraj Varma Time-Delay-Estimate Based Direction-of-Arrival Estimation for Speech in Reverberant Environments by Krishnaraj Varma Dr. A. A. (Louis) Beex, Chairman The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Abstract) Time delay estimation (TDE)-based algorithms for estimation of direction of arrival (DOA) have been most popular for use with speech signals. This is due to their simplicity and low computational requirements. Though other algorithms, like the steered response power with phase transform (SRP-PHAT), are available that perform better than TDE based algorithms, the huge computational load required for this algorithm makes it unsuitable for applications that require fast refresh rates using short frames. In addition, the estimation errors that do occur with SRP-PHAT tend to be large. This kind of performance is unsuitable for an application such as video camera steering, which is much less tolerant to large errors than it is to small errors. We propose an improved TDE-based DOA estimation algorithm called time delay selection (TIDES) based on either minimizing the weighted least squares error (MWLSE) or minimizing the time delay separation (MWTDS).

  • Implementing an M-Fold Wah-Wah Filter in Matlab
    “What if we had, not one Wah Wah Filter, not two, but 20?”: Implementing an M-Fold Wah-Wah Filter in Matlab Digital Audio Systems, DESC9115, 2020 Master of Interaction Design & Electronic Arts (Audio and Acoustics) Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning, The University of Sydney ABSTRACT An M-fold Wah-Wah filter can be described as an effect where multiple Wah-Wah filters are applied to a signal, each at a certain frequency range. This report describes the implementation of such a filter in Matlab. By using preexisting code on a single state-variable bandpass filter, multiple bandpass filters are implemented across a defined frequency spectrum. The filter is adjustable through a number of variables, these being: the number of bandpass filters (M), the damping factor of each filter, the spectrum for which the filters are applied, as well as the Wah Frequency, i.e. the number of cycles through each bandpass. 1. INTRODUCTION The Wah-Wah filter is commonly used by guitarist to alter the shape and tone of the note(s) they are playing. The effect can be described as the combination of ‘u’ and ‘ah’ sounds created by human voice. The mouth’s shape here going from a small O to a big O. The center frequencies are called “formants”. The Wah-Wah pedal works in a similar manner, the formants shifts creating a “wah” sound. The Wah-Wah filter is a time-varying delay line filter. Each filter has a set of unique characteristics such as the range of frequencies the effect is applied to and its Wah- Frequency, i.e.

  • Equalization
    CHAPTER 3 Equalization 35 The most intuitive effect — OK EQ is EZ U need a Hi EQ IQ MIX SMART QUICK START: Equalization GOALS ■ Fix spectral problems such as rumble, hum and buzz, pops and wind, proximity, and hiss. ■ Fit things into the mix by leveraging of any spectral openings available and through complementary cuts and boosts on spectrally competitive tracks. ■ Feature those aspects of each instrument that players and music fans like most. GEAR ■ Master the user controls for parametric, semiparametric, program, graphic, shelving, high-pass and low-pass filters. ■ Choose the equalizer with the capabilities you need, focusing particularly on the parameters, slopes, and number of bands available. Home stereos have tone controls. We in the studio get equalizers. Perhaps bet- ter described as a “spectral modifier” or “frequency-specific amplitude adjuster,” the equalizer allows the mix engineer to increase or decrease the level of specific frequency ranges within a signal. Having an equalizer is like having multiple volume knobs for a single track. Unlike the volume knob that attenuates or boosts an entire signal, the equalizer is the tool used to turn down or turn up specific frequency portions of any audio track . Out of all signal-processing tools that we use while mixing and tracking, EQ is probably the easiest, most intuitive to use—at first. Advanced applications of equalization, however, demand a deep understanding of the effect and all its Mix Smart. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 36 Mix Smart possibilities.

SOUNDING PART.zip - Sounding part of the thesis: D. Scarlatti - Sonata D minor K 141, V. Trojan - The Collapsed Cathedral SOUND SAMPLES.zip – Sound samples Declaration I declare that this thesis has been solely the result of my own work. Milan Řehák 2 Abstract In this thesis I discuss, analyse and intend to answer the question: What is the best way to capture the sound of the acoustic accordion? It was my desire to explore this theme that led me to this research, and I believe that this question is important to many other accordionists as well. From the very beginning, I wanted the thesis to be not only an academic material but also that it can be used as an instruction manual, which could serve accordionists and others who are interested in this subject, to delve deeper into it, understand it and hopefully get answers to their questions about this subject. The thesis contains five main chapters: Amplifying of the accordion at live events, Processing of the accordion sound, Recording of the accordion in a studio - the specifics of recording of the accordion, Specific recording solutions and Examples of recording and amplifying of the accordion in practice of other accordion players, and two recordings: D. Scarlatti - Sonata D minor K 141, V. Trojan - The Collasped Cathedral.
