this is a fun effect, used by guitar bass and keyboard/synth. it sounds a bit like a groan tube An envelope filter works by filtering out specific qualities of the audio signal either to add or remove high or low frequencies. An envelope filter also reacts to the dynamics and attack of your playing enhancing…

The effect I chose was a Delay, due to its simplicity and prevalence. Step 1 The delay seems to mimic the sound of excessively large spaces, albeit cleaner. As suggested by the effect, there are Delays between copies of the input sound, which seem to decay in amplitude over time. The osund of the effect…

The difference between saturation and distortion is that saturation is often known as a more harmonic distortion and is increases the harmonic amplitudes by using a mix of distortion and compression to give the sound “warmth” and make the sound fuller. This dates back to when effects were a physical component going through a physical…

Sound Used: https://freesound.org/people/_bliind/sounds/491650/ The overall spectrum of the traditional flute is more intense at the lower frequencies. The spectrogram shows how the low frequencies (around 350Hz) have a very intense amplitude and stretch out over the length of the audio file. The fundamental frequency is at around 280Hz, however this varies when the vibrato comes…

Sound Used: /https://freesound.org/people/Akatukoaut/sounds/500997/ From this spectrogram, we can derive several points of information. The spectrum is fairly noisy, with a gradual attack starting with mostly low partials (with a few, higher noisy frequencies), with the higher partials coming in slowly. Using a melodic spectrogram analysis mode, we can see that there are 2 prominent partials:…

I’m saying hi > Alastair im also saying hi. hi > Joy

I decided to use this sound to analyse because it had many layers to it, involving different pitches and timbres. The panning is particularly noticeable and this can be effective for certain genres of film, for example. On the spectrogram, the frequencies are evidently visible in the lower range frequencies with fluctuating amplitudes. I think…

Has a fast/sharp attack shown by the sudden spike in waveform which is much louder compared to the rest It takes 13ms to go from almost complete silence to the loudest part of the wave The sound has a fast decay shown in both the spectrogram and the waveform The majority of the sound is…

Sound Used: https://freesound.org/people/strangehorizon/sounds/676553/ From listening to the sound, we can hear 2 or 3 constant partials, with some slight ‘beating’ modulation, at about 4/5Hz. I’m listening thought laptop speakers, so I’m not sure if there is some noise mixed in as well (does sound like some irregular high-frequency content is present). There are no transients…

Analysis of a high bongo drum snap. Source:https://freesound.org/people/teleport8/sounds/28706/ Taking a first glance at the waveform you can easily tell because of the nature of the sound and because of the wave’s trembling and snappy appearance that this is the sound of a drum. The sound looks rather quiet in the waveform and it is in…
