Essential Sound Recording Diagrams

Whilst working on scripts for our Sound Theory video series, it suddenly dawned on us how many diagrammatic representations of equipment functions, and sound itself, we rely on as we record and mix music and sound.

Because we regularly use diagrams in our videos to explain theory, it was inevitable that we would need to create a series on the different types and how to interpret them.

We started by thinking that 4 short videos would cover the subject. This has now expanded to no less than 11 videos (!!!!) in a series entitled Visualising Sound, and which includes audio metering.

Here's the complete playlist ..

01 Introduction
02 Waveform diagrams
03 Waveform diagrams examples
04 Frequency response diagrams
05 EQ diagrams
06 Dynamic range diagrams
07 Compression action diagrams
08 Microphone polar pattern diagrams
09 Impulse response diagrams
10 Audio metering
11 Audio loudness metering

We think you'll agree that there aren't any in this list that do not qualify as "essential", particularly as many of these diagrams are used extensively in DAW software and plug-ins to help us edit sound and set plug-in parameters.

So, we are suspending work on our Digital Theory and Synthesis video series for a few months until we have Visualising Sound complete. So far we have completed almost all the scripts and have started filming 01, 04, 05, 06 and 07. The first 2 or 3 will be uploaded at the end of September, so if you are not already subscribed, do so now and we will notify you .. http://www.projectstudiohandbook.com/subscribe/index.html
