Digital Manipulation • Extremely powerful manipulation techniques • Cut and paste • Filtering • Frequency domain manipulation • Significantly reduced noise problems • Error detection and recovery
Effects • There are many manipulation techniques that can be used to change the digital audio • Remove noise • Add reverb • Increase dynamic range • Filter boost or attenuate particular frequencies • Alter Pitch/Tempo
Delay and Echo • Repeating the the sound at a delayed time can have the following effects • >35ms discrete echoes • 35<>15 simple chorus effect • 15< spatially locate a mono sound • Echo is a repeated delayed sample that decays
Flanging • Flanging involves a time delay and a phase shift • Gives a psychedelic sound to audio
Reverb • Reflections are characterised by relative loudness and delay • Digital reverberation is ideally suited to changing these characteristics to simulate different acoustical environments • Reverb is different from the basic echo function in that the delays are not repeated at regularly spaced intervals
Graphic Equaliser • Enables the boosting or attenuation of the signal at particular frequency bands
Filtering • Before • After
Pitch Stretching • Changing the frequency of the wave • Increasing the pitch transposes frequencies high up the range
Tempo • Duration of the wave
Amplitude Envelope • This specifies the amplification with respect to time • Enables the fading in or out of sounds
Amplitude Dynamic Range Processing • Varies the output amplitude of a waveform, based on its input level • Can boost low amplitude (quite sounds) • Can attenuate high amplitude (loud sounds)
Channel Mixing Left Right
Pan and Balance • Pan • The proportion of a mono signal which is fed to left or right speakers • Balance • The relative attenuation of each channel of a stereo signal
