Essay about Choosing the Best Sound Format for Production

Sound is something quite special, impactful, and adds layers of elements and complexity to a film. As with the progression of the movie making medium, sound has grown and changed drastically over the decades. However, sound cues in the form of effects, dialogue, and everything in between, shapes our perceptions of a scene and movie.

Most successful musicians know a hidden art carried out by the work of a good sound engineer; it is essential for a magnificent album. For the rest of us novice listeners and fans, we believe what we hear through our speakers or played over the radio are the true skilled professional musicians, soaring at their craft. Most contemporary music, from pop to R&B and acid jazz to the sophisticated realm of orchestral film scores, has been modernized by several inventions encased within the studio. The art of audio engineering has taken on new forms, from the nuts and bolts, "plug it in, and see if it works" era into the digital world, because of these wonderfully tragic solutions to a

An onboard TLV320AIC23 (coder/decoder) codec is high-performance stereo audio codec with highly integrated analog functionality which provides analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Multibit sigma-delta technology with integrated oversampling digital interpolation filters is used in this onboard codec. It connects directly to a 12-MHz master clock. On the other hand, various data-transfer word length from 16 bits to 32 bits along with various sampling rates from 8 kHz to 96 kHz could be supported by this AIC23 codec. Besides, this TI AIC23 codec has stereo-line inputs and stereo-line output which makes this codec an ideal analog input/output (I/O) option for audio

Over the past weeks I have been adding sounds to a moving image clip. Research of the science behind sound and of professional sound recordist would be key, anything from microphone techniques to personal safety would need to be taken into account on the recording side, whereas an understanding of the software and tools within it would be needed for the sequencing.

Third technical requirement for my field, is the ability to recognize sound levels (Chron, 2017). Sound is the most important element in any film second to a great visual story.

One way that they are better today is the experience. Today, the movie experience is much better than in the 1960’s. For example, the Empire, one of the biggest movie theaters in the world, has 25 auditoriums (McClintock). This allows for a variety of movies that can be played in one building. Instead of the entire family viewing one movie, each member can watch a movie that suits them perfectly. As a result, everyone is happy because they get to see the movie that they want. However, this wasn't always the case. In the 1960’s, drive-in’s could only show one or two movies per night (University of Michigan). Consequently, some family members might be disappointed when they have to watch a movie that they don't want to. Also, advancements in audio has made movies even better today. Today, there are many speaker types. Each serves a specific role; when combined, they posses a sound quality greater than films in the 60's (Altman). Additionally, the subwoofer has vastly improved the experience. Subwoofers are speakers designed to handle low frequencies, something that regular speakers cannot do. Subwoofers are capable of shaking the floor, which makes you feel as if you are in the movie (Altman). Conversely, audio in the 1960’s was not as advanced as it is today. Drive in theaters in the 1960’s did not have the advanced audio that we have today. Early drive in designs featured speakers mounted next to the screen

know anything about the soundtrack of a movie other than that is the music that we are able to listen to

From first frame to the obvious perspective change in the hallway, sound is used masterfully in nearly every way it is cinematically possible. This masterful scene, highlighted it’s use of sound not only helps to prepare the viewer for what is in store stylistically speaking but probably won the movie the 1980 academy award for best sound editing.

The entire Soundcraft Vi4 structure is linked together via standard fit, shielded Cat 5E Ethernet cables and is controlled by a control surface. The Soundcraft control surface is an

This time we will focus on the analysis of the sound of a film that, in addition, to be well achieved according to my personal appreciation, has been nominated for several awards for sound and has won some of them. It is then a proposal that, when like others, it is convenient to analyze and understand, to take from it what works best for us or interest, or for our future productions. For this I have chosen the feature film Pan’s labyrinth (2006) by director Guillermo del Toro; in charge of the sound Martin

In addition, it is also paramount for the audio quality to be consistently audible for all members of the audience. This will be achieved by utilising a system design configuration that focus’ on clarity and direction whilst also rendering itself sympathetic to the sensitive ears of the general public not attending the event.

The Loudness button on consumer stereo receivers is an equalization circuit that boosts the highs and lows as the volume is lowered so the music will sound the same whether soft or loud. Noise-shaping circuits filter dither and quantization noise into the extreme upper range, where we will simply notice it less.

Studio technology has developed drastically over the years and has become ever more vital to the record
