The document provides information about an upcoming midterm exam for MTA 254, details remaining assignment due dates, and covers various audio recording and processing topics such as analog vs. digital recording, sample rate and bit depth, audio compression, equalization, noise reduction, compression, and reverb. Labs this week involve bringing hard drives to class to obtain footage for an archival project.

• TA Theater will take place Week of April 4
• Not changed: Archival Project due Week of April 11
(in lab.)
• Not changed: ADR Project due Week of April 25
MTA 254 MIDTERM EXAM is Next Monday in this room! • Labs / Lectures are fair game!
In lab this week: bring your harddrive to get the
footage for the Archival Project Analog vs. Digital
• Why digital? (Sound is, of course, analog)
• the choice of how to record depends on what we are going to DO with it.
• All recording, analog or digital, involves changing
air pressure into voltage, then reversing the process.
• We use digital recording b/c in post production
we need to make lots of copies, and digital copies don’t degrade. Turning Sound to Digital
• To make a digital recording, we need to take
snapshots to convert the changing voltages into numbers. These are called samples. • How many snapshots we take = sample rate. • The accuracy of each sample, like the dpi of a digital photo = bit depth. Sample Rate & Bit Depth
SAMPLE RATE describes how many snapshots per
second we take. • The most common rates are 44.1k and 48K. Remember the Nyquist theorem: You need twice the number of samples as the highest frequency you wish to record. 20K x 2 = 40,000 (+ 10% for good measure) = 44.1K
BIT DEPTH describes the accuracy of our
snapshots. • The standard for professional digital audio is 16 bit, which offers 65,536 possible different values for each sample. Audio Compression
• To make an audio file smaller, you could cut bit depth
and sample rate. The file would be smaller, but it would sound worse.
