Mixing Sounds and DJ Audio Effects - Sound Synthesis

By Dan Hunt

Even presently, nearly all synthesizers will give you the monophonic or polyphonic selection. Today though with new technology this has become much stronger, yet cheaper to make. Its got to the point where almost all of the newer synthesizers could create an almost innumerable amount of notes all at the same time. Just like a piano would. Which's to say, monophonic synthesiser merely plays one note at any one time. It's a useful setting because it prevents 2 keys from being hold down at the same time.

This will imply they would overlap one another giving poor outcomes. The monophonic is outstanding for a couple of the lead and bass sounds too. For two or more notes to play simultaneously you need the polyphonic.

To be able to glide between two notes the synthesizer requires the Portamento/guide. You'll get your very best effects of producing a bending between notes if you apply the portamento on monophonic sounds. On the another hand it could also be used polyphonically if played in the block chords style. You can go from a really slow sweep 'tween 2 notes to a simplex glide. This'll permit a difference in the severity of bending. This is finished when you change the time and at times the scale of the glide. It's genuinely useful for SFX.

In subtractive synthesis, you can utilize the primary ideas of frequency modulation, which's an entire entity of synthesis. You would be utilising it's sound creation methods. If you're to speed up LFO, you will be able to produce FM effects. The rate is set at such a high speed an audible pitch is produced by the oscillator.

A very sharp piercing effect is reached when a non-harmonic sound is created by applying the 1st oscillator to modulate the pitch of a 2nd oscillator. It has been found that FM effects could not be used successfully on analogue synthesizer keyboards.

If you utilise two oscillators, with one being the master and the other one slave you're producing the effect of hard sync (oscillator sync). In this case, the slave oscillator operates faster or slower than the master, whereas the master runs as standard with its waveform. If you trigger the two oscillators at the same time, you will get truly weird harmonic effects. The slave will also start to perform once again via its wave form. It wont matter whether it complete it's cycle. This occurs when the master oscillator is put into action.

Take 2 oscillator in-puts and multiply them against each other. This is dependent on the frequencies. This is also known as ring modulation in music synthesis. This's the perfect result for creating dissonant, percussive sounds, due to the non-harmonic result - 18418

5 Unique Patch Programming Tips For Music Productions

By Greg Lee

Utilising Other Synthesizers Techniques You can in reality modulate the wave form of an oscillator by setting the LFO which is utilising the primary concepts of wave tables. If youre to change your oscillators over to sin waves, then the next thing you could do, is to set up the octaves so they are separated from each other. This is an important component for organ sound emulation but it genuinely is a primary form of additive synthesis.

What are the options for SFX Patches? Numerous ways are available for creations of sound effects. Simply like the proper use of envelopes and effects guides you to what you're looking for. Then you might want to consider FM waveforms or some other noise sources. One of the most outstanding features of the effect patches is the use of non tonal oscillator waveforms. Don't forget that you SFX patches provide various alternatives .

How You can Utilise Multiple Filters Say you want some thing useful to warm up the digital sounds then consider the fact that outside sound filter units can produce several very interesting effects on the end of a signal chain. Most of the up-to-date synthesizers will even have a multimode, but at the very least would have 2 individual filters as part of their features. You could make use of these in 2 ways. You can use them by putting them in sequences or they can be used in parallel. Say you play around with band pass and notch filter, which really are special filter modes, you would get several unusual effects. You can likewise experiment with sending other oscillators to different filters.

For Big Sound Complexity try lateral thinking Say you want to add some extra pizzazz to shorter sounds as well as create a few long slow ones, then try layering them. Big complex sounds take some lateral thinking. If you layer multiple patches as the attack grows and then disappears after each other, hence you'll get modulating sweeping pad sounds.

Specialized LFOs Effects Lets assume you dont have the right oscillator waveforms to create that FM style type sound that you require. Theres something you could do to compensate for not having it. Setting the rate as fast as you possibly could, then set the LFO to modulate the stereo-panning. This implies you'll have to utilize a square wave. Some other function you have available to you is the sample and hold function. Some people tend to miss this, so make sure you make use of it.

In addition to every of the above take some-time to go through your on board presets. Theyre sure to inspire you into the right direction. These were prepared by professionals in the field of synth, so they know what they're doing. When you come across one that actually appeals to you inspect it thoroughly. Check how the sound was made and capture the techniques on your own creations (patches) - 18418

How To Buy And Setup A Home Theater Sound System

By Dave Heebs

Home theaters are all the rage nowadays. Everyone seems to want the experience of being at the movies in the comfort of their own home. In order to get that experience, you need to make sure the most important aspect, the sound system, is done correctly.

Before you install a sound system in your home theater, you must first consider the room that it will be going in. The size, shape of the room along with the furniture arrangement will all play a part into how the sound system is setup. By placing the center speaker in the best position in the room, you will ensure the maximum pleasure for your guests.

When choosing components and installing the home theater sound system, you will need to consider a number of different aspects.

How Much Do You Have To Spend?

First, figure out your sound system budget. There is no sense looking at components until you know how much you have to spend. Looking at top of the line, and therefore expensive, systems is an exercise in futility if you only have the money for a middle tier system.

Do Your Research

Research all of the sound systems available. Dont buy the first one you see. By comparing the available models and checking out all of the online deals, you can save yourself a lot of money. The time during this phase is also well spent by reading consumer and expert reviews on the systems you are interested in.

Purchase The Right Sound System

After doing your research, you will have compiled a list of possible candidates for your new sound system. The next step is to actually pick one. Find the best system for your price range and buy it online for the best deal. When you get it into your home, you then need to install it.

Make Sure Its Installed Properly

The most important aspect of setting up a sound system is placing the speakers in the correct place. Professional installers can be ralied upon to setup your speakers and your system in the best way possible. However, you can do this yourself.

No Wires Visible

When installing the system you can go with wireless speakers. However, most systems are wired and their wires need to be hidden from your guests. Wires should be either run under carpets or through walls to hide them. Its not just for aesthetic reasons you need to hide them. It is a safety issue as well. You do not want people tripping over the wires and hurting themselves our damaging the components in their fall.

Placing The Speakers

A surround sound system requires three speakers in front and two speakers behind and to the side. The center speaker should be wherever the television is placed. This speaker should be either above or below the television. The rest of the speakers will establish a cocoon of sound that will make you and your guests feel like they are watching the movie on the big screen. Watch out for the spilled soda and popcorn though. - 18418
