  • Digital Audio Basics
    INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL AUDIO This updated guide has been adapted from the full article at http://www.itrainonline.org to incorporate new hardware and software terms. Types of audio files There are two most important parameters you will be thinking about when working with digital audio: sound quality and audio file size. Sound quality will be your major concern if you want to broadcast your programme on FM. Incidentally, the size of an audio file influences your computer performance – big audio files take up a lot of hard disc space and use a lot of processor power when played back. These two parameters are interdependent – the better the sound quality, the bigger the file size, which was a big challenge for those who needed to produce small audio files, but didn’t want to compromise the sound quality. That is why people and companies tried to create digital formats that would maintain the quality of the original audio, while reducing its size. Which brings us to the most common audio formats you will come across: wav and MP3. wav files Wav files are proprietary Microsoft format and are probably the simplest of the common formats for storing audio samples. Unlike MP3 and other compressed formats, wavs store samples "in the raw" where no pre-processing is required other that formatting of the data. Therefore, because they store raw audio, their size can be many megabytes, and much bigger than MP3. The quality of a wav file maintains the quality of the original. Which means that if an interview is recorded in the high sound quality, the wav file will be also high quality.

  • The Present Saclantcen Equipment for the Digital Recording of Multichannel Broadband Acoustic Signals, Their Edition and Their Transfer to a Digital Computer
    THE PRESENT SACLANTCEN EQUIPMENT FOR THE DIGITAL RECORDING OF MULTICHANNEL BROADBAND ACOUSTIC SIGNALS, THEIR EDITION AND THEIR TRANSFER TO A DIGITAL COMPUTER by A. Barbagelata SACLANT ASW Research Centre La Spezia, Italy For more than one year, the Sound Propagation Group has been using this equipment successfully for digital acquisition and analysis of sea trial data. This complete system can be considered to consist of three parts . 1, The five-channel high-density digital recording system. 2. The edit system. 3. The data transfer system. The whole of this equipment was designed and built ln our laboratory (except the AI D converters and the tape recorder), using micrologic cards for digital circuits and operational amplifiers for analogue devices. Sound Propagation Group 1 s preference for digital recording can be clearly understood considering the main points in our analysis technique: a. The study of the impulse response of the medium through the use of explosive charges requires a high dynamic range more than 60 dB with bandwidths from a few hertz up to 15 kHz - 20 kHz. b. Power spectrum measurements require an accurate time ,base, especially for high frequency resolution. c. Cross-correlation measurements require a constant time delay between the signals to be correlated. When recording i n analogue form in the FM mode, even with precise adjustment of the recording level, the dynamic range is around 40 dB. 7 Furthermore the tape speed is not constant (flutter) and the time delay between two signals is not constant, owing to the angular movement of the tape (skew) . In our system, which digitizes during the experiment and records onto magnetic tape in digital form, all these dificulties are overcome , because the dynamic and accuracy of the time base no longer depend on the tape recorder, but on the pre eding electronics, and the time delay fluctuations between signals can be completely compensated.

  • Chapter 3: "Transferring Vinyl Lps (And Other Legacy Media) To
    3 TRANSFERRINGVINYLLPS(AND OTHERLEGACYMEDIA)TOCD A great way to preserve and enjoy old recordings is to transfer them from any legacy medium—vinyl LPs, cassette tapes, reel-to-reel tapes, vintage 78s, videocassettes, even eight-track tapes—to CD. Or you can transfer them to a hard drive, solid-state drive, or whatever digital storage medium you prefer. Transferring phonograph records to CD is in demand, and you might even be able to get a nice sideline going doing this. A lot of people are still hanging on to their record collections but are afraid to enjoy them because LPs are fragile. A lot of great albums have never been released on commer- cial CDs, or the modern CD remasters are not done well. Some people sim- ply prefer the sound of their old records. Although you can copy any analog media and convert it to any digital audio format, in this chapter we’ll talk mostly about transferring vinyl record albums and singles to CDs. Once you have converted your old analog media to a digital format, Audacity has a number of tools for cleaning up the sound quality. You may not always be able to perform perfect restorations, but you can reduce hiss, clicks, pops, and other defects to quite tolerable levels. You can also customize dynamic range compression to suit your own needs, which is a nice thing because on modern popular CDs, dynamic range com- pression is abused to where it spoils the music. Even if they did it well, it might not be right for you, so Audacity lets you do it your way.
